In Love with my Professor✔️ (Natsu X Reader)

The First Day

It's my first day of class. Yay......just kill me now.
I never liked school. I always just existed. I only went because I HAD to go. I never wanted to. I had few friends and people hated me. The teachers looked down on me. I was a outcast.

But here I am. Taking my kids to school then heading to school myself. My kids seem happy, maybe even proud that I'm going to school. Or maybe they just love the fact that I have to deal with the same things they do: teachers, homework and annoying classmates. Haha. Whatever the case is it doesn't matter.

"Bye girls! Love you!" I yell as they run into school.

They just smile and wave and keep going. I turn up my music and head to school for myself. The great thing is that I can go to school after I drop the kids off and I'm out of school in time to pick them up. So, it works.

I try not to think about my anxiety and depression that I suffer from as I pull up to school. I need to calm down. BUT I CAN'T! I'm scared. Being around people is nerve wracking. All the eyes looking at you. All the whispers. The finger pointing. Especially me!

Let me tell you one thing about me. I love my little pony: friendship is magic. Hate me if you will. I don't care. I love the show and the positive messages it gives us. I love the music and yes I love the colorful ponies to. I love color in general because it makes me happy. I will gladly wear and show off things that make me happy. Sometimes I get smiles and make new friends and other times I get evil looks and teased. I've been laughed at and made fun of in front of people by other adults but I brush it off. In reality their words stay in my head forever.

Why sport mlp then? Because I cherish the positive moments the most. That's why. The friends I've made and the faces that light up and smile so bright make everything better. I do have mlp tattoos on my arms. I have twilight sparkle with my oldest daughters name and pinkie pie with my youngest daughters name on one arm and on the other I have fluttershy with the phrase "sometimes we all just need to be shown a little kindness" those are words to live by.

Finally calm thanks to my mlp music I enter the school. First class is math. Perfect. No it's not! Ugh!
My teachers name is Erza Scarlet. And I can see why. Her hair is red as a rose! It's so beautiful.

"Listen up! This is math class! I understand math is difficult and let me assure you that I am here to help! But I expect you to try your very best no matter what! I will hand out flyers with my email and phone number now. If you EVER have any questions please contact me! Not knowing or understanding the assignments is NOT a valid excuse! Are we clear?!" She bellows to the class

"Yes ma'am!" Everyone says in unison.

Well she's a real treat isn't she? I can tell she means well but man is she scary. It's going to take me a while to warm up to her to get the courage to ask her for help.

Ok first assignment is to see what we know.

Great....I've failed already. I know nothing.

Math to me is like trying to translate Ancient Greek mixed with Egyptian hieroglyphs with some long lost language no one knows thrown into the mix.

Kill me now. I think to myself as I stair blankly at this paper in front of me. Well I have to at least try.

Class is over and I know she's going to see my paper and just cry. I know it. I'm that pathetic in math.

Next is English. Now English I love. I'm no grammar police but I love to read and sometimes write. I love fantasy stories, especially those with mythical animals. I love Pegasus the most but a close second is dragons. The movie Dragon Heart is one of my favorites. I love Draco and his voice is the icing on the cake!

Breathe Y/N. Breathe. Last class and it's your favorite subject. Calm down.

I enter the class to see a VERY attractive male teacher in a suit, and he has pink hair?? What the hell?! What guy has PINK hair?! Seriously?? I stop dead in my tracks and stare at him. He turns and sees me and sighs.

"It's my hair huh?" He asks sounding rather annoyed. I nod shyly and he sighs again and shakes his head.

"Yes it's real. Yes it's natural and no you can't touch it. Now please sit down." He says flatly and turns back to the board to continue writing.

Well then. He must be used to people staring at him. Kinda like me. I take a deep breath and find a seat in the front corner of the room. I picked the front so I can easily see the board. I'm to short to look over other people so I choose the front but out of the way.

He introduced himself as professor Natsu Dragneel. He says he has been teaching for only a few years because he is still young. He didn't say his age but I'm guessing he's about 25.

As he starts teaching class I find myself mesmerized by him. His voice is like a angel to me and his body is just as heavenly. His hair reminds me of a sunset and his eyes look dark and mysterious. I feel my face getting hot and I look away pretending to look for something I need. I calm down and go back to paying attention. Our assignment is to write about ourselves. He's looking for grammar, punctuation, spelling and sentence structure. Well this should be fun.

I go on to write about my family. How I'm married but my husband is disabled so we struggle a lot trying to live normal lives. My kids who are in school. I write about my parents and the tragedy that revolves around it. I write about my depression and anxiety and how it takes a lot just to get out of bed most days and how much I have to force myself just to come here. He dismisses class and I keep writing. I want to finish the last little bit.

"Miss! Class is over. Please hand in your assignment." He says politely.

"Yes. Just a moment please. I don't want to just cut it off in the middle of a explanation." I reply and he laughs.

"Very well then."'he says and starts reading the assignments he was given.

I finish up and hand in my paper. He sees my mlp tattoos and starts to chuckle.

"What's so funny?" I ask curiously

"I've never seen someone with pony tattoos before. I take it your a fan?" He asks with a grin

"Yes. I love the show and what it stands for. I always show what I love and I don't really care what others think." I reply as politely as I can.

He smiles and says "I can respect that. I love my pink hair but it always gets me giggles and stares and people trying to make fun." He says with a scowl on his face.

"I understand. I've been there myself. I'm still there actually. I've learned to just brush it off and move on. Other people's opinions don't matter to me as long as I'm happy with myself." I say with a smile.

"Looks like we understand each other. I think we will be good friends." He says and then gives me a big smile.

I can't help but return the smile and say "yeah we will!"

"Well see you tomorrow. Bye Mr. Dragneel." I turn to leave but I stop when I hear him speak.

"Please, call me Natsu when it's just us since we are friends. May I call you by your first name as well?"

"Of course! My name is Y/N." I smile. "Bye Natsu!"

"Bye."

Maybe school won't be so bad after all.
