His Name is Archer

"I know he's just so cute."

"If only I was a little older.

"-or he was a little younger."

"I like that he's older."

Medusa Rider heard her female students whisper in the library. She looked up from her book to see a group of three girls gossiping rather than studying like they were supposed to. The teacher closed her eyes and shook her head. Those girls really needed to focus on more than just boys.

Rider focused back on her book. She was currently reading up on the myths and legends of ancient Greece one of her favorite subjects. She couldn't help being drawn to the fantastic battles and romances that came out of them. Ok, so maybe she also wanted love, but she certainly didn't let it interfere with her duties as a teacher as those girls shouldn't let it get in the way of being proper students.

One of the girls squealed that drove Rider out of her reading again. She clenched her teeth and glared at the girls again as they kept on chatting about some cute repairman. The purple haired woman slammed her book down on the desk and stood up, getting the girls' attention.

Fear was written on all of their faces as Rider glared at them. "That's enough. I want you three to spilt up and start your studies. This is a library not a gossip room." The girls quickly scattered in fear of their teacher's rage. Rider sat back down. She picked up her book again, scanning the pages until she calm down.

The rest of the period was spent in utter silence. Rider finished her book before she dismissed the class. She gathered her things and headed through the hall, ready to go to her homeroom class to finish grading papers since school was done for the day.

Sunlight from the windows lit up her features as she pass. Her mood had improved somewhat after having the girls split, but she hated that they kept disrupting everyone's study time. She was sure she calm down after she focused on the rest of her work and found a new book to read. Maybe she should pick up a new romance novel or would it be better to learn more about other ancient worlds like Japan?

"Um, sensei..."

The words caught Rider's attention. She spun around to see one of the girls that had interrupted the study hall standing behind her. "Yes, what is it, Aiko?"

"I-I'm sorry about what happened in class." The girl had her eyes cast down as she wiggled her right foot into the ground.

Rider noticed that a lot of her students had a hard time looking her directly in the eye. Well not just students it seem no one had the courage to stare directly at her. "It's alright, but you have to remember this is a school. You need to focus on your class work while you're here."

The girl bowed to her teacher. "Yes, I'm sorry."

Rider nodded in approve. She turned around ready to leave when the girl called out to her again and twisted back around.

"Rider sensei, I was wondering if you can do me a favor?"

"Huh?"

"I had my cell phone taken to a repair shop, called Fix 'Em All. I'm suppose to pick it up today, but my parents believe the shop owner will take advantage of me because I'm a kid and he's good looking. So can you come with me so I can go get it?"

Rider placed her hands on her hips. "So he's a con man?" Anger radiated inside of her at the thought of a man taken advantage of students.

The school girl stuck out her hand. "N-no, my parents are wrong about him. Please come with me and I can show you."

Rider folded her arms over her chest. "Very well." She would make certain her students weren't being taken advantage of by this man. The two quickly found their way in front of the shop as the sun began to set.

"Looks like we just made it," Rider stated as she saw the opening and close times on the glass window. The two entered the shop that had various objects inside of it. Rider remembered students talking about coming to this place, mostly the girls even though they had a perfectly good repair man at school name Shirou Emiya who would fix things for free. Well technically he was a student.

Just then a man came out of the back room, holding a TV. He looks up to notice the two that were standing in his shop. "Good evening, how can I help you?" He placed the television on top of the counter.

The school girl ran up to the counter with a big smile on her face. "Emiya-san, I'm here for my cell phone."

Rider's hard features soften a bit. "Emiya?" She walked up to the counter as Aiko pulled out her receipt and gave it to the man. The man took a careful look at it then cracked a smile. He certainly was handsome with tan brown skin and his spiky white hair. She could see why her students were taken with him.

The repairman reached under the counter and pulled out a cute pink cell phone and handed it over to the girl. He placed one hand on his waist as he pointed down to the phone with the other. "Make sure you take good care of it."

The girl nodded. "I will."

"Good, I won't be able to do another free repair for you again," the man answered.

Rider's eyes opened wide. "Wait, you repaired it for free?"

The man brought his attention to the teacher. "That's right, for new customers I give them one free repair." He really was nice or clearly not a proper businessman.

"I'll see you later, Rider sensei." Aiko headed out of the shop.

"Yes, goodbye Aiko." Rider watched the student leave with a blush on her face.

"Can I help you with something?" the man's words got her attention. She looked the man in the eye. The repairman's eyes opened wide and shimmered at the sight. He stared at her in awe for a moment. "Your eyes are beautiful."

After Emiya seemed to realize what he said he blushed. He quickly shook his head to regain himself. He placed his fist in front of his mouth and gave out a fake cough. "Sorry about that" He opened his right eye and gave a cocky smirk. "Sorry about that how can I help you?"

Rider was now blushing . She never heard anyone compliment her eyes before, usually they would avert from them due to her square pupils rather than being round like everyone else's. She rested her hand on her other arm, feeling insecure. "No, I just came to make sure you weren't taking advantage of my students."

Emiya opened his other eye in confusion. "You thought I was taking advantage of students?"

"Aiko's parents were afraid that's what you were doing. I just came to make sure. I'm sorry for the mistake. I'l-I'll be leaving now."

Emiya stuck out his hand. "Hold on, if you want to make it up to me. Why don't we go out for coffee with me tomorrow?"

"Are you asking me out?"

Emiya folded his arms over the counter. A confident grin on his face. "If I were asking you out you know it. I just want to get to know one of my little brother's teachers better."

"Little brother? Wait are you talking about Shirou Emiya?"

"That's right." Emiya stood up straight. "I'm Archer Emiya." He tilted his head slightly. "So what do you say, Rider sensei?"

Rider nodded her head. "Sure, shall we do it in the morning before school?"

"Sounds perfect."
