single dad!chris x kindergarten teacher!reader
chris didn’t mean to be late to pick up james from school.
ok maybe he did, but it was just so he could talk to you.
you were probably the most beautiful girl he’s met since he first met james‘ mother.
of course she turned out not to be so pretty on the inside.
chris didn’t want his son to grow up with his parents arguing all of the time so he left her.
now they have shared custody of their son. they are better co-parents than they were a couple.
now chris is walking up to the school entrance to pick up his five year old son.
kaliana opens the door and let’s him in. kali is your assistant teacher.
“chris” she greets taking him to the classroom. “kali, i hope i didn’t keep you two waiting for too long” chris says. “not at all, i think we’re used to you being 5 minutes later than everyone else.” kali says as they reach the classroom.
“daddy!” james smiles as the door opens running to chris.
“here’s dinner” you say trailing behind the little boy with a tupperware in your hand. “you’re a godsend” chris says grabbing it from your hands purposefully making sure his fingers brush yours.
“how was he today?” he asks as james goes off to finish putting away the building blocks in a cubby. “perfect little guy as always” you smile and chris looks you up and down.
you notice his staring telling him that he doesn’t have to come late all the time if he wants to talk to you and chris becomes flustered.
“i mean that’s what parent conferences are for, and also you have my number.” you say and kali snickers at chris’ reaction. “right, i’ll just text you next time.” chris nods looking down at the little boy in front of him before picking him up.
“i was joking, that’s not really the reason you’re always late is it?” you ask and chris shakes his head “no, no. that’s- that would be dumb.”
kali laughs causing the other two adults to look at her. “oh sorry just thought of something funny” she lies and continues cleaning up the children’s desks.
“thanks for the food again, i’ll call you later.” chris says walking out of the classroom.
once he gets back into his car he fully realizes that now he has to call you later.
you smile as he leaves the classroom “what a goof that kid is” kali says and you shakes your head “he’s sweet” “you’re just saying that ‘cause you think he’s hot” kali tilts her head at you.
“hey!” you throw a clorox wipe her way so she can wipe the tables “what i’m not wrong” she shrugs “so what? he’s my students son that’d be just a little weird don’t you think?”
kali sighs “it wouldn’t be that weird also is he not our age?” you narrow your eyes at her “yes but-“
“no but’s you should give things a try” “i’m gonna force anything, if it happens it’ll happen” you say thinking about what you are going to say if chris actually calls you later.
“oh you’re so thinking about him” kali says throwing away her trash “am not” “yes you are” you sigh “fine i am”
