Newsies: Drama and Teaching

A/n: Sorry this is super late! I was sick for three days and had a really busy weekend.

I'm the drama teacher and you're the only one who can actually act help me demonstrate this love scene to my students AU. The show is never mentioned because I couldn't think of one

Jack spun around to face his desk in frustration. He was trying to teach a class and they just weren't getting it. For most people high school drama teacher would not be the first choice for a job, but Jack loved it. He had been working at the same school for years, so most of his friends were also his co workers. At the same time he was well aware his job was in trouble, every year less kids were interested in acting, and the school had been decreasing his funding. The only reason he still had a job was because Katherine was the principal. His attention was drawn back to Jojo and Buttons who were now arguing. "Stop"

They both looked at him guiltily "Sorry Mr. Kelly" Jojo glared at Buttons "It's his fault"

"No it isn't!" Buttons crossed his arms and Jack rolled his eyes. He rest of the class was peeking around the curtains.

"You're all distracted. What's going on guys?" Jack looked around the crowd of high schoolers that were gathered on the stage.

They glanced at each other and shrugged "It's a Monday?" someone offered.

"You know what? Take a break, I'll be right back" Jack rushed out of the classroom and looked around the hallway. He needed someone to demo with him, but first he had to figure out who was on prep. First choice would usually be Race or Crutchie, but Crutchie was out sick and it was second hour so Race had his devil class. Katherine was definitely busy with principal stuff. Jack passed one of the english classrooms and realized exactly who he needed.

Davey was an english teacher so he would know the material and even if he denied it, he was a kickass actor in highschool. Jack burst through the door and Davey looked up from where he was grading papers "Jack? Don't you have a class right now?"

Jack suddenly realized he left an entire class of high schoolers unsupervised in the auditorium. "Yes. You need to come with me"

Davey looked annoyed "Can it wait? I was hoping to hand this stuff back next hour"

"No" Jack pulled on Davey's hand again "There is an acting emergency"

"You sound ridiculous" Davey pointed out. He gathered the papers into a stack and stood up from his desk. "Let's go"

Jack gave a whoop of excitement and pulled Davey down the hall by his hand.

———

"Wait you actually left this entire class completely unsupervised" Davey asked when the reached the auditorium.

Jack gave a sheepish smile "They're fine" That was true, all the kids were staring at their phones or goofing off on the stage.

"Also what am I doing here?" The kids had all turned their attention the Jack and Davey and were clearly wondering why their English teacher was there.

"You are helping me with this scene. Everyone off the stage!" Jack hopped up the stairs and Davey followed with a grin on his face

"I can't act" Davey pointed out

"That is a lie" Jack objected "There is no better actor"

"Everyone else is on prep aren't they?" Davey asked with a smirk.

"Shut up"

-------

Jack should really learn how to think things through. In his haste to fine someone to perform the scene he had forgotten one major thing. He had a huge fucking crush on Davey and the scene the class was doing was a love scene. The students were all watching attentively and it looked like Jojo was taking notes in her notebook. Jack couldn't help it and let all his feelings out into his a acting and so did Davey, when they touched hands Jack felt his heart jump.

At the final part of the scene where the characters kiss Jack hesitated a second before pulling Davey in by his shirt. It wasn't anything like the other stage kisses he had done. Instead of rehearsed movement there was a feeling Jack hadn't felt in years. They only pulled away when the students started clapping. Davey looked breathless and gave Jack a We are going to talk about this later look before taking a few steps back. "I have to go" Davey apologized glancing at the clock. The students were still clapping and Davey gave a little mock bow "Thank you second hour drama class"

Multiple students were whispering amongst each other and Jack caught snippets of their conversations "Mr. Kelly has a crush on Mr. Jacobs"

"Get back on the stage" Jack looked pointedly at Jojo, but she just smirked at him before jumping on to the stage alongside Buttons.

Jack had to admit at least the scene looked way better.

-----

Jack was walking to lunch when an arm shot out of a classroom and pulled him inside. He realized it was Davey's english classroom and the person to grab him was Davey "Hi?"

Davey rolled his eyes and crossed his arms "Hi? That's it?"

"Would you prefer good bye?" Jack quipped, he spun towards the door "I can leave"

Davey rolled his eyes "Dumbass"

Jack held his hand over his heart "How dare you?"

"I can see why you're the drama teacher" Davey stepped closer and Jack bumped their noses. "Dramatic"

"That's what I was going for" Jack glanced at Davey's lips. So close!

"Dork" Davey rested his hands on Jack's shoulders and a slight blush colored his cheeks

Jack couldn't help himself from twisting his hands in Davey's button up shirt and pulling him into a kiss. Davey let out a small sound and stepped closer to Jack and moved his hands to rest on Jack's waist. Jack pulled back just enough to talk "Wow"

"Wow" Davey agreed. He kissed Jack lightly and smiled.

"I'm taking you on a date tonight" Jack decided

"We have a staff meeting" Davey pointed out

Jack swore and looked at the clock "Katherine's going to murder us"

"If we leave now we can probably get there on time" Davey reasoned. He closed his bag and pushed in his chair.

A smile crept over Jack's face "Let's skip"

"You are a grown adult" Davey raised his eyebrows "And you want to skip"

"Yes" Jack leaned forward and kissed Davey hard and fast.

Davey thought for a second "Why not?" Dates we're way more interesting than teachers complaining.
