One Shots - Lady Lesso

Softening Her Heart

From tumblr:  cissyenthusiast010155

You were one of the oldest students at the school, top of your class, spotless record (especially for a Never), and skilled sorceress.

Staff members always told you how elegantly and maturely you spoke and acted.

You had few friends your age, as you found you bonded better with the Professors than your actual peers.

But all of that was thrown out the window every time you set foot in Professor Lesso's classroom...

In there, you were a mess... to say the least...

Sure, you did well academically, but you found yourself being pushed to be better at the thought of some sort of recognition from the red head.

And her class was difficult.

She pushed all of her students.

Plus, you had a knack of getting lost in her clothing choices for the day or her sultry, deadly tone...

So you tried extra hard.

But you were never the best.

Never the favorite.

Or so you thought...

There was something about Lesso that you couldn't get to like you.

You knew what it was: You weren't evil.

Or at least her standard of evil.

All those lingering glances she gave were reserved for others...

All those snide comments for others...

All those physical aberrations for others...

To you, she seemed to pay no mind.

She seemed to...

~~~

Today was no different.

You walked into class and right on cue, your stomache tensed just as it always did when you had class with Lady Lesso.

You sighed, sitting in your chair in the back as always.

You noted the new and stylish Trenchcoat that Lesso was wearing today.

The lesson droned on as usual, and you paid attention like you were supposed to. And every time she called on her favorite student, the back of your hairs pricked up...

The class eventually ended, and Lesso dismissed the students to lunch.

Even through all the agony, you didn't give up.

You couldn't really.

As your peers filed out, you made it to be the last one to leave, but before doing so you caught Lesso's attention.

"Professor?" you meekly asked, so different from your usual matter of fact tone.

"Hmmm, what is it?" Lesso stated, not even taking the time to even look up at you.

Your words froze. Of course they did... They always froze around Lesso.

When you didn't respond, Lesso did look up at you, seemingly staring straight into your soul.

This made everyone 100% worse.

"Um... I... I just wanted to say that I really like your Trenchcoat It's stylish and trendy but also very fitting to your vibe!" You blurted out, cheeks flushing with more red.

"Your an odd one aren't you?" Lesso quipped.

"What?" You responded, confused and embarrassed by your massive blunder in speech.
