The Art of Teaching ↳ Kylux au

(2)

It was the first Monday back and Hux had been informed that all construction was finished and the new staff room/office was completed. He was under the impression that they had all been assigned desks in the room, his being by the door and next to a 'Mr Ren'. Great, an artist.

After getting ready, he drove to the school at 07:45. He liked to get there early to prepare his day. Usually, Hux was the first one there in the history department. He hoped it stayed that way to avoid any problems.

Once he parked his car, he straightened up his suit and walked into the school. The change wasn't terribly noticeable, just doors in different places.

A few minutes later, he found the new room and walked in, looking around for his desk. When he spotted his desk, he let out an irritated sigh. There was a man sitting in his seat. More importantly, a man he had yet to meet. Presumably an art teacher. He walked calmly to the man sitting in his chair.

"Excuse me?" Hux had an angry tone, however, he tried to compose himself. The man with raven hair turned to look at the ginger.

"Can I help you?" Kylo smiled.

"Yes actually, you're sitting at my new desk." Hux rolled his eyes. This was the last thing he needed on a Monday morning.

"I don't see your name on it." Kylo smirked, although he felt his usual anger bubbling up.

"This was the desk I was assigned, yours is next to mine." Hux pointed at the desk to the right. "See, right there."

Kylo looked at the desk and groaned. "Fine." He stood up and faced Hux. "I'm Kylo Ren, nice to meet you," he said with a sarcastic tone.

Hux glared at him, then lifted the angry look. "Hux."

"What, just Hux? I am an adult, you know, not a student." Kylo didn't laugh, but smiled at the man.

"I know, it's just Hux please. Now if you'll excuse me, I have work to do." Hux sat down at his desk and began planning his day. He wondered if he'd make it to the end of the school year sitting next to this asshole.

Poe and Rey walked to school this morning. Finn was off sick, and while they wanted to stay at his house all day and look after him, he insisted they went to school.

It took them the usual 20 minutes to get to school. The two had very deep talks about the Galaxy and our universe; a beat boxing and rapping session; worrying about Finn and texting him to see if he was ok and the usual 'did we get homework for this lesson' talk.

"Back to hell." Rey looked up at the gates and groaned. "I don't want to go."

"I know, the worst part is, today is the most awful day for lessons." Poe took out his time table. "I mean, who thought it would be clever to put us in double history with Mr Hux first thing on a Monday. Double history."

"It's the devil's work, I'm telling you." The two walked in and moved straight to their first lesson, despite being 10 minutes early. On their way, Rey had a glance in the new office room and stopped Poe.

"Look Poe, Hux and Ren are talking. Mr Hux looks pissed off, and more than usual." Rey sneakily had a look through the small square of glass on the door. Poe waited then looked after Rey.

"Oh my god, we called it." Poe laughed and continued walking with Rey down the corridor to their classroom, where they stopped outside.

"Finn is so lucky, missing double history." Rey pouted.

"I know, but we need to take care of him. He's sick and we can't have a sick Finn." Poe smiled as people started standing around the door, waiting for the first bell to ring.
