P.S: I Love You

Prompt: School AU where person A is in detention and person B is making silly faces at them through the window in the door OR the one where Aleks is in detention, and his boyfriend is a lovable idiot.

Aleks knows it's his own fault that he's stuck in detention. Threatening to beat the shit out of someone in front of a teacher was never a good idea, even if he had been joking. Unfortunately, Mrs White hadn't seen the funny side, and now Aleks is trapped in her stuffy classroom instead of on a date with James.

It's probably a blessing in disguise, though. He has a lot of work to do; bunking lessons to make out with his boyfriend in various locations around school aren't doing his grades any good.

It's just him and Mrs White in the room, and the silence is a good catalyst. Aleks begins to power through his assignments, and the first thirty minutes fly by.

So absorbed in his work, he doesn't notice that someone is trying to get his attention - until he sees a flash of movement in his peripheral vision. He glances up, and sees James standing outside of the classroom door. As happy as he is to see him, he knows he'll end up in detention with him if Mrs White catches him.

"What are you doing?" Aleks mouths, and James grins at him happily through the glass. He shrugs his shoulders, giving him a wink before dropping out of sight.

Aleks chances a look at his teacher. She has her back to the door, busy marking exam papers at her desk, so he turns his gaze back to where James had just been.

He doesn't reappear, so Aleks guesses that he's probably left. Just as he's about to pick up his pencil, he sees James pop up again, pulling a grotesque face at him.

Aleks rolls his eyes at his idiot of a boyfriend, but he can't stop the smile that spreads across his face. James Wilson Jr may seem intimidating to most of the student body with his leather jackets and cocky attitude, but Aleks knows the real him. He's a giant, lovable dork, and Aleks wouldn't have him any other way.

"Mr Wilson!"

The bellow of James's name makes Aleks nearly jump out of his seat, and he can only watch in horror - and amusement - as Mrs White storms across the classroom. She flings the door open and James stumbles through, well and truly caught.

"Oh, hey teach!" He says cheerfully, unfazed by her anger. "Don't mind me, I was just-"

"Sit down." Mrs White demands, and James nods his head, knowing he can't get out of this one.

"Sure thing ma'am." He gives her a mock-salute as he walks into the classroom, immediately making a beeline for the desk beside Aleks's.

"No talking." Mrs White reminds them, passing James a detention slip.

James looks the epitome of innocence as he nods solemnly, but the moment Mrs White's back is turned, he crumples up the note and tosses it at Aleks.

"Behave." Aleks mimes, pocketing the paper. James can't afford to get into any more trouble.

His boyfriend gives him a wicked smile, a mischievous gleam in his dark eyes, and Aleks bites his lip. He is usually unable to resist that look, but his GPA is at stake. He shakes his head slightly, a warning, and turns back to his work.

He should have known that James would ignore him. Another ball of paper smacks him in the side of the head moments later, and Aleks glares at him as he reaches down to retrieve it from the floor. He is about to throw it back when he catches a glimpse of James's handwriting. Curious, he smooths out the creases in the paper to read the message.
