You Didnât Know?(Tedgens Fic.)
Prompt by @princessstarkid . I hope you like this.
âââââââââââââââ-
It was a normal day in Hatchetfield. The birds were chirping. The squirrels were gathering. And the students were moaning.
Our story take place at Hatchetfield Community College, where a Mr. Henry Hidgens and his boyfriend Ted Richards work. The time of day is 12:55, most of the students had been awake for several hours, so had the teachers, but they dragged themselves to the classrooms.
Henry watched as the young adults(and a few older ones) poured into the Biology classroom that day. He smiled, waved, said his good afternoons, all he got was a vacant stare and some mumbled replies. Ignoring this he continued with his cheery demeanor.
All went well, the students paid as much attention as they could, no disruptions, that was until the end of class.
To say the class was surprised would be an understatement. Nobody expected their math teacher to barge in. Or for Hidgens to smile so wide when he saw him.
âMr. Richards, is there something I can do for you?,â Henry at least tried to be professional. That could not be said for Ted.
âNope! But do I have to have a reason to come see you?â, He asked walking over to Henryâs desk. The students all had slack jaws. Nobody knew what was going on.
âTed, Iâm in the middle of classâ, Henry said trying to get his point across.
âAnd I donât have one right now. Mind if I hang out?â, Ted knew that his boyfriend wasnât going to say no.
âFine, but I do actually have to teach so no distracting meâ, He said and then turned back to his class, âClose your mouths, Mr. Richards will be joining us for the rest of classâ
âBabe, they heard the whole thingâ, This earned him a glare from Henry but a laugh from the students.
âWhatever, back to what I was sayi- Yes Dan?â, He said pointing to the kid with his hand raised.
âYouâre gay?â, Henry sighed, Ted laughed, and the other students went stiff.
âYou didnât know?â, Was the professorâs response. With that he went on with class, with the occasionally interruption by Ted or a student to inquire more about his social life.
ââââââââââââââââ-
Henry wasnât one bit surprised by Tedâs laid back take on teaching. It wasnât too different from his own. So when he walked into the classroom and heard chattering and music, he ignored it. Of course a few students stared at him, but they didnât say anything.
Henry eventually made it Tedâs desk. He sat down and waited for his boyfriend to get done. It was kinda fun to watch him teach, it was like he was a different person, but he was still amazing.
Henry was very much lost in thought and was kinda startled when he heard Ted, very loudly, tell a girl to finish her work and plan her party later. He watched as Ted walked away from the board and toward Henry.
âSorry for the noise. I donât usually mind if they chat, but they get a bit loud sometimes. So, whyâre you here? Business or pleasure?â, He said sitting down on his desk top.
âPleasure. I only have three classes todayâ, Henry said smiling up at him.
âLucky, but Iâm glad youâre hereâ, He returned the smile. They talked about randomness for a little while, with Ted having to answer a question or two for a student, this lasted for about ten minutes before Henry groaned.
âCan you turn this crap off?â
âWhat the music? Sure, itâs not like I chose the station, I let the students do thatâ, Ted said pausing the pop music, âIs there something youâd like to listen to?â
âYou should know me well enough to know what Iâm going to sayâ, Henry smirked, but grabbed Tedâs phone. He put it on a playlist(that he made) and watched to see what the studentsâ Reactions would be. Indifferent mostly, but you could tell a few of the students recognized the songs.
âSirâ, One of the girls in the back of the room raised her hand, âYou like musicals? I wouldnât have guessed thatâ. Several of the students nodded in agreement.
âIâm dating Hidgens, and you didnât know?â
ââââââââââââââââ-
Summer break, it was they all had been waiting for. Both students and teacherâs breathed a sigh of relief and got ready for their small break.
A few of the teachers stood by the door and said their goodbyes to their students. This causing them to get a good look at what was about to happen.
Ted Richards said goodbye to his last student, locked the classroom door, and made his way to Henry Hidgens class. Henry didnât even get to say anything because Ted kissed him right then and right there.
âTheyâre dating?â, Several of the teachers asked, mostly to themselves, but theyâre students smirked and simply said:
