I swear it's related to YR, bare with me, but you guys know that episode of Spongebob where Spongebob and Patrick become parents to a baby clam? And they turn into the stereotypical heteronormative 50s/60s couple? And Spongebob is ironing and changing diapers/nappies, and Patrick sits at home all day and Spongebob and him get into fights about it?
I want a crack fic, very loosely based on that where the first years (or even the whole school) has to do one of those projects you only ever see on tv where they take care of an egg or a baby doll for a week and make a project about how they'd raise it and what values they'd instill in it.
All the students groan when it's announced but then you see everyone in the halls wandering around with their project babies. One of the teachers mentions they haven't seen the students this active in ages. And Wille gets really into it. If it's a doll he somehow procures a Baby Bjorn. He gets it little outfits. "Shhh the baby is sleeping" with a finger to his lips. Unfortunately for him his partner (drawn from a hat) is Henry and as we all know Henry doesn't *do* group projects. So we see Wille trying to hand off the baby but Henry keeps blowing him off. And when it's Henry's night to have the baby he can't find him but Wille realises he's actually gotten attached to this fake baby and would be worried how Henry was treating it if it was with him.
Ft. Scenes of a very harried Wille having a blow up in the school library, or the outdoor steps with Henry. "You're gone all day long while I care for the baby. I change the babies diapers, and where are you Henry? Off with Walter again when you should be caring for our *child*?" While the whole school watches. Scenes of Simon trying to comfort a comically emotional Wille. Simon's partner is Felice and they work well together because she's ~calm~ and stable. Maddie and her partner (Alexander maybe) have their baby in little pig tails all over its head and bright headbands. August wanders around scoffing at everything as per usual. Wille gets introspective about things, maybe even talks to Simon about how he'd want to raise his own kids if he ever had them. In the end everyone one has to give their project presentation and there is light bickering between Henry and Wille but Wille tells everyone about his thoughts on his project baby's future, and gives a heartfelt speech on how he wouldn't force it to do things it didn't want to or adhere too much to tradition. He'd want his kid to have more freedoms and the freedom to be themself. Ends on a scene of Henry saying he'd want the kid to play football or something equally silly and funny, and the class groaning.
