Incorrect National Treasure (part II) (part I) (part III) (part IV) (part V)

[mytardisisparked]

Look, all I’m saying is that they really just don’t make movies like National Treasure anymore. Like this movie is about two dudes in a van who beat a team of highly trained criminals to stealing a valuable document from a high-security museum, by sheer accident get an antiques expert to come along with them to keep the document safe, get involved in several major chase scenes, escape the FBI twice, find a massive treasure, get someone else arrested for their crimes, and then give the treasure back to museums before yeeting out to do it all over again in the sequel. No one was doing it like them. And the thing is, by all accounts, this plot is ridiculous and the dialogue is ridiculous but it works unbelievably well because the writers and actors committed to the bit. This movie is campy and absurd and it’s also one of the most fun and quotable movies of my early childhood because the creators embraced the camp and did it with such a sincerity that it’s a goshdarn delight to watch. Top all of that off with a soundtrack that went WAY harder than it really needed to, excellent atmosphere throughout the whole film, and visuals that were darn near perfect and National Treasure becomes a classic. I’ve been chasing the high I got the first time I watched it my whole life. What a movie.

Ben knows that, as a college professor, the worst thing he could possibly do is to fool around with one of his students.

And yet, you make it impossible to resist.

It starts small, at first. Your grades slip, you need extra help, so you naturally start meeting with him after class. All business as usual.

But that quickly progresses to you bringing him food during your free periods, then talking with him about things other than history, asking him about himself in a way that feels less than professional.

And the worst part is that he can’t say no to you, because he’s already in too deep.

The look on your face when he explains something to you, when you start making sense of his teachings, is like reverence.

You make him feel wanted. Needed, even. It’s intoxicating.

And the fact you’re cute is an added bonus!

So his hands start to linger when he’s tutoring you one-on-one, leaning in just a little too close and keeping his voice lower than necessary.

He expects you to pull back at least a little, to consider that what you’re both doing is wrong, but you never do.

Even when he traces soothing patterns into your thighs with his thick fingers, you don’t say a word.

Well, save for “please.”

He loves how well behaved you are so early on, cooing at you while he sits you on his lap right there in the empty lecture hall.

The way you light up when he praises you… he can’t get enough.

You take it like you were made for it, such a perfect little thing for him to use when the stress of work grows too much.

Out of all the artefacts and knickknacks he’s collected over the years, you are undoubtedly his favourite desk decor.
