Patrochilles

Back To School

This is a modern au were they are both teachers and meet and become friends. I got inspired in another story (it was also a Patrochilles fanfic), I'm sorry that I can't remember the name, if I can I'll tell you. ❤️❤️❤️

Patroclus sighed. He liked teaching kids, and he loved history since always and it had been his dream to teach about it, but sometimes it was exhausting. They didn't stop talking and throwing paper notes in class. He thanked God when the bell rang and ran to the cafeteria, were the other teachers were. He looked for Briseis, his best friend and language teacher, and found her talking with the school principal. Oh my god. Did she get in trouble, like actual trouble that could fire you? He bit his nail nervously waiting for then to finish their conversation, which was actually soon. "Briseis, what were you talking about? Did you get in trouble for something?" Briseis laughed her oh-you-wish-i-got-in-trouble-bitch laugh, a thing she did lots of times, even in the worst situations. "No, apparently there's a new gym teacher coming, and he wanted to talk to me because I'm very social, unlike you Pat, and if I could introduce him to the rest of the staff" Patroclus rolled his eyes, obviously Bri was the most social of teachers, and they both got a long well because they were the only young teachers. Pat realized Bri had been talking " I'm sorry, what?" she rolled her eyes "I was saying if you think he'll be cute. Or young?" she said smirking at Pat "What?" she laughed "Oh come on Pat, you're gay, and this new teacher could...." Patroclus froze and shushed her, making her roll her eyes again "You could really find yourself a boyfriend, you know?". Patroclus winced. It's not like he didn't want to have a boyfriend, it wasn't that at all. It was just he wasn't sure if the new teacher was precisely the exact person to flirt with. "You know, why don't we leave this for another time Bri" he said, and the conversation finished with a roll of eyes.

One week later, Pat woke up as usual, had a shower, brushed his teeth and put on a really cute sweater that made him look really good. He was handsome, Briseis reminded him of that, but he didn't consider himself handsome. No, he considered himself as an average human living on earth with just books, especially history books, to escape from it. He went quickly to school, with two coffees for him and Bri, when he stopped. Shocked. At the school door was Briseis, but it wasn't Bri what surprised him, it was the man talking to her. He looked his age, young and happy. He was blond, with greenish blue eyes like the sea and a godlike body. He looked athletic, but nice and talkative. But mostly, he was the most handsome man he had ever seen in his life, he was so tall, and muscular, and good looking.... He noticed Bri was waving to him and Patroclus felt a blush creep in his neck and cheeks. Great way to make a first impression Pat, red as a tomato, he said to himself, walking towards Briseis and the handsome man. "Pat, this is Achilles, Achilles, this is Patroclus, though I think he prefers to be called Pat" Briseis introduced bristly "Erm. Hi! I um I am the um history teacher um.." Pat said blushing and stammering, trying to coordenate the words in his brain and being chill, but something must have burnt in his brain, because his face was hot. Achilles tilted his head and smiled warmly at Patroclus, then stretched his hand out "Hi Pat, if you don't mind me calling you that, I'm Achilles and I'm the new gym teacher". Achilles was surprised when he saw Pat for the first time. All he could think was 'damn, if all the teachers are that cute I'll be in love soon'. He liked Patroclus, he looked shy but very cute and friendly with Briseis. Was he gay? Achilles had come out a few years ago, and was ver happy with his decision, and silently prayed for Patroclus to be gay too. "So, um, I didn't know you were coming, so I um didn't get you any coffee..." Pat started, blushing again and giving a cup of coffee to Briseis "No, it's OK, I already had breakfast and I have a termo with coffee" and he smiled again. Patroclus was wondering if it was possible to melt with that smile, and he realized he probably could, because Achilles looked everything but average. He was right as soon as they stepped into school, all the teen students and teachers were gaping at the new teacher. Pat had to teach grade 9 (14-15 years old) after they had PE, and it made him pretty flustered when he heard all of the girls gushing and talking about the new super hot teacher, and how they would seduce him.... Pat thought he might vomit and had to tell more than twice all of the girls and some boys in class to shut up.

Lunchtime and breaktime were probably the two worst times of the day for Pat, because Bri insisted that he sat next to Achilles and it was pretty embarrassing, whenever he said anything it was something muffled and he would go tomato red whenever he felt his eyes on his face. Meanwhile Achilles was loving his new job and friends. Briseis was really talkative, but nice and comprehensive when she saw you were having a bad day. Patroclus was, well, he was Patroclus. He didn't know if he had a girlfriend (he probably did, he was so handsome and cute) or if he was gay or bi. He could see he was very timid and blushed easily, but also could speak his mind, like for example last Tuesday. Achilles was walking down the corridor when he saw a 16 year old kid kicking a small one. He was going to tell him to stop, but then that's when Patroclus appeared. He talked back to the kid and finished with telling the principal and the kid got kicked out from school. He would never forget his face as he screamed to the kid, and the soft words and hug he gave to the bruised kid. It just made his heart beat faster and all mushy inside.

Today was Friday, his favorite day of the week! He ran to the cafeteria table and sat next to Pat and in front of Briseis. "You guys, it's my birthday tomorrow, and I was wondering if you wanted to come over to my place and celebrate or something?" Briseis's face light up and nudged to Pat, who had zoned out "Sorry, what" he said blushing "Nothing Achilles, we would love to go to your house. Can you text me your house and address? I'll give you Pat's number" At this Pat slightly jumped from the chair and sat back, obviously embarrassed, and did as if nothing had happened. They heard the bell ring again "Well, we'll see you tomorrow Achilles" and with that they both left, leaving Patroclus on the chair trying to assimilate what had just happened...

"Patroclus, open up! I swear I will break the door down!" Pat heard a mad Briseis at the door "Coming" he groaned quickly rolling out of bed on the floor and ran to open the door. "What's your problem Bri? You can't wake people up at 9 am!" He protested getting back in bed "No sir, Achilles invited us over to his birthday at lunchtime and we are not going to be late!" She said taking the covers from his bed and body "But I don't wanna go. Everytime I see him or talk to him I get all confused and I can't talk!" Suddenly, Briseis laughed. She laughed so bad she started crying "What's going on?" Pat asked and she sat up "You both like each other so much and you guys just don't realize it. Like, he's always following you, looking at your face in meals, tries to have nice conversations and invited you to his birthday! And you are practically drooling all day over him, constantly zoning out, and having a red face and can't speak properly. For God's sake, just marry already! " Patroclus listened to all of this dumbstruck. What. The handsome, hot, funny, social, straight Achilles had a crush, on him!!!!

A couple of hours later, Patroclus stared at himself in the mirror. He looked taller because of his shoes, and really nice in jeans and a cute brownish sweater. He had showered and was wearing a nice cologne that smelled like cinnamon, although his hair the usual messy dark brown. He took a deep breath and stepped in the car with Bri.
