Everyday Life?

Who Are You?

Archer's POV

When I get to my third class, I see the one person I didn't expect to see again...

That guy, the one I bumped into! He was a substitute?! I immediately move my head so he doesn't recognize me. Luckily my seat is in the back, and the guy in front of me is already there. So I go and take my seat.

I know he'll see eventually, but hopefully, he'll let it slide. Then again, do I have luck??

After the students pile in and class starts, he introduces himself. "Okay, time to start. Hey guys! I'm Mr. Basely, your substitute for the time being. Nice to meet you all!" He smiles. My heart skips a beat. Not only is he handsome, but he's also so sweet and kind. "Okay, so the plan for today is working on your missing assignments, so let's do that. I need to get attendance first, so just hang tight okay loves?" He asks gently with a smile everyone groans at the pet name, but I blush.

He calls out the names and the kids put their hands up and say "here," I can't do this! AGGHGGAAA— "Archer Resnik?" My heart stops. He repeats, "Archer Resnik?" I close my eyes. I'd rather be absent than seen. "Love, if you don't tell me you're here, I'm going to have to mark you absent." I shiver, he must know! I VERY SLOWLY raise my hand and say a small "here."

When he sees me, his eyes light up. Fuck. Bad, BAAAAAAD. "Thank you," he says before he continues on with the names but I can tell he wants to talk to me. Dammit! Once he's done, he instructs us to work on missing work and not to dawdle on our phones. I start checking my assignments and work on the missing ones...

"So you're Archer?"

Startled, I look up into a gorgeous face. Fuck. Me.

"Y-yeah, I am." I stutter out, worried about what he wants.

"Hey, it's okay, love, I'm not going to hurt you."

I bite my lip. He is so kind and caring. My heart skips a beat when he puts his hand on my head.

He smiles, "you're really so cute, kiddo." He chuckles when I blush. "S-stop, you're older than m-me," I say shakily. Worried he will want to hurt me.

"Hey, no, no, I mean you're cute in a non-romantic way. Don't worry."

"It's...fine," I say, trying to not sound unsure. Geez, I made it awkward already! I move to my things, to say I'm busy and not show I'm blushing--please just cuddle me right now--Never mind, already blushing with that thought.

I feel a pat on my head and look up. He smiles. "Alright, I'll let you get to work, but please don't ever lose your innocence. You're beautiful." He pats me one more time before moving along. My hand unconsciously reaches out. I immediately pull back. Luckily he had already gone far and wasn't looking at me. I blush, thinking of my action. Shit!

For the rest of the time, I bury myself in work until the bell rings. I can't help but want to see him more after today, but that's selfish... As I'm leaving, he calls to me. I instantly go back over to his desk.

"Yes, sir?"

"I just wanted to say that you did excellently and I hope to see you again, love." I almost melted right then and there. He will be the only reason why I'm dead, but don't tell the police. I don't want him to get arrested...yet.
