Work Text:
Nick has a love-hate relationship with being a teacher. For one he loves teaching children and a lot of kids remind him of his younger self. But teaching year 10s has its consequences.
Being an openly queer teacher in a relationship he surprisingly gets asked a LOT about relationship advice. He’s glad that kids can talk about stuff with him but, he always gets shocked when someone asks after practice what to do about “this” or “that”.
It’s not like the kids are oblivious to the fact that him and Charlie, the maths teacher are married but some are more observant than others.
To start Charlie and nick both use there surnames to be addressed by the kids but every other thing says Nelson-spring. How the other kids fine out is way more embarrassing.
Usually nick goes to Charlie’s class room for lunch. Today Charlie forgot to tell him something that would cost him his dignity.
so there nick was siting in Charlie’s classroom, they had started kissing and then he hears the door creak open and sitting there group of kids stunned by the fact that the rugby coach and the math teacher are making out. Then as if an alarm went off one of the kids screams “YOUR DATING MR. NELSON!!???”
Charlie then replies “married but ok.” The kids go silent and sit down across from Charlie and he starts helping them with their math homework.
After a while one of the kids spoke up “when and how did you guys meet.” one of the other kids elbowed the boy “don’t talk about it”. She whispered. Charlie replied “oh no it’s fine. we met when I was in year 9 and Mr. Nelson was in year 10. And for how we met it was our first day of our new form.”
“Love at first sight.” One of them snickered “ok all of you go back to lunch now.” Nick quickly replied
🍂
It’s has been a week since the “incident” as Charlie dubbed it. Every now and then Elle has “gifts” from the students and half of these so called “gifts” is fanart of them kissing with rainbows in the background. they both agreed if the art was actually good they would hang it up on there fridge.
Today the same group of students came in again for lunch. Both of them have learnt there lessons.
The same boy that asked the question last week spoke up and said “why aren’t your last names the same even though you’re married?”. “ well, our last names are the same, Nelson-spring but we just use our original names to avoid gossip among students.” Charlie responded “which I hope you aren’t doing.” Nick added on
“WERE NOT.” All of them reply in sync
All the kids finish up there work and head back to lunch. Nick heads back to his respective area and they both finish out the day without anymore disturbances.
