Hello, and welcome to Teacher's Assistant, a new BenLos fanfiction! Yay... :D This is the replacement for W&BR, which is still sad to me as it ended.
The different thing about this is that instead of being in Auradon Prep and studying, the gang will be in Auradon Kindergarten.
Anyway, I don't wanna spoil much, so let's just jump right into the story. :D
Guess who's POV
I'm Carlos De Vil, 17 years old teenager turning 18 in about 2 months. I have three best friends, yes, three best friends, Mal, Evie and Jay, the children of Maleficent, The Good Queen, and Jafar. I'm the son of Cruella De Vil if you didn't know.
Anyways, to the present.
Me and my friends decided to apply in Auradon Elementary as the teacher's assistant, as our Summer Jobs. Not sure why we did this though, but for some reason we had this... pull towards AE.
I mean like, Mal's mother is the most famous potion brewer and spell caster in Auradon, next to Fairy Godmother of course. Evie's mother is the ruler of the neighboring kingdom. And Jay's father is the owner to a factory that produces a lot of things, sold all over Auradon. His things are actually pretty good quality, then my mother is the owner to Auradon's largest fashion empire.
She produces clothes for both human and pets, including dogs! She really loved dogs. We literally own 2 Dalmations and a Corgi.
Our parents, together with the headmaster and headmistress of Auradon's best school, (Which includes a highschool, an elementary, a college and a kindergarten) Beast and Belle, were considered the 6 legendaries, the most powerful peoples in all of Auradon.
The Good Queen's kingdom was basically the main kingdom's sister.
Anyways, back to the present again.
So we applied for Auradon Elementary, and since our parents were legendaries, they accepted us. I walked towards the meetings room, the place Fairy Godmother had asked us to gather in as she gave us a briefing for our tasks.
I entered to see four other teens, my friends and a Chinese kid who looks like a younger version of Shang, and with glasses. I walked over to my friends and talked to them, while the other kid just sat there silently.
I was about to walk over and ask what his name was, but then the door opened and Fairy Godmother walked in. She closed the door afterwards. Fairy Godmother walked to in front of us, then we walked towards her forming a horizontal line.
She said with a soothing voice, "Good morning everyone, I hope you're excited to start your jobs as the teacher's assistant" I replied "Good morning Fairy Godmother, I don't know about my friends here but I know I am excited." giddy. I saw Jonathan huff at me, I'm not sure what his problem is but I ignored it.
She called us all out one by one, "Mal, you will be helping Audrey. Evie, you will be helping Doug. Jay, you will be helping Lonnie" There was a brief pause, "Carlos, you will be helping... Ben" I perked my heads up, and thought 'Ben... That's a nice name.." I saw Jonathan's face turn to disappointment as soon as Fairy Godmother said his name.
"Jonathan, you will be helping Chad." She finished, Jonathan took the file from her. "Alright so, your classes have been marked on the map you have been given in your files, and your schedules too. So now you may exit and find your classes." Evie said "Thanks' Fairy Godmother." She smiled and nodded.
We walked out of our class, I said "Goodluck guys" smiling to my friends, they smiled back at me and nodded.
I was nervous, I can't even speak in front of my class, now I'm forced to help a stranger teach a bunch of kids? This is gonna be bad. I looked around, I thought I was lost for a few seconds, I couldn't find my class.
Then I stopped and exclaimed, "Finally!" as I saw the word "6th Truthful" the name of the class. I knocked on the door, not wanting to disturb the education inside at the moment. But as I knocked, I could hear children screaming, running and playing inside. I still knocked anyways.
I heard a voice say "Come in!", the voice was soft but alluring. I entered the class, then turned around to close the door. I didn't see the teacher, but after turning around, I was sent to 'FANGIRL LAND' as my jaw dropped.
There he was, the man of my dreams, not literally. His brown hair fell over his forehead just above his eyebrows perfectly, those emerald green eyes, those soft pink lips. He looked like he was born by a goddess instead of a legendary. His body looks just as perfect as his face, and his voice just sent me even further into 'FANGIRL LAND'. His soft and alluring voice said "Oh, hello there. How may I help you?"
But I didn't listen. I was in too deep of a trance to listen to him. A girl student walked up to me and pushed me, and basically I face-planted into the oak wood planks floor. That fall had snapped me out of my trance, I slowly stood up blushing as the kids laughed at me, I could also hear his chuckle. I looked at him and his smile just made my heart melt, reform, then melt again.
I heard him say "Hello? Earth to Carlos!" which snapped me out of my trance. I literally had to fight my blush and keep it down. I replied "H-Hi..." nervously. Then I asked, "H-How did you know my n-name...?" even more shyly.
He pointed towards the file I was carrying, it had my name written on it. I nodded and said "Oh.." He asked "So you're my new assistant?" looking up and down. I nodded, he let out a sigh, and said "I was hoping it would be a girl..." which made my heart break, then he let out a laugh and said "I'm just joking. A male assistant would be better, at least you won't fangirl over me." winking.
Once again, my heart melted, and reformed, then melted again for like 10 times. 'STOP TEASING ME WITH YOUR PERFECTION, GAWD' was all I could think. I broke the silence between us and asked, "Aren't you gonna teach them anything?"
He smiled and said "No, it's playtime for them." I nodded. After an hour of trying to keep the children from slapping each other with giant letters and plushies, the bell finally rang, signaling it was break time.
I let out a sigh of relief as I helped the kids form a line, well more like a semi-straight line. Thankfully they weren't a glob of students, they understood what a line is since they're in 6th grade. I took them to the cafeteria, then left them there for their lunch. I walked over to the waiting room, expecting my friends to be there. When I peeked in, nobody was there. I decided to have my lunch back at the class, once again I almost got lost.
I saw Jonathan standing outside of the door, staring at Ben. When I walked over, he scurried back to his class. I raised my eyebrow at him, then entered my class. When I entered, Ben's voice startled me, "Oh hey." I still hadn't gotten used to that alluringly sexy but soft voice of his. "My god you startled me" I said. He replied "You're not supposed to help me in like, 30 minutes."
I stated "I wanted to have my lunch here, since my friends were spending time with their teachers, I figured I'd spend time here. I didn't think you'd be here, isn't there a teacher's lounge or something?"
He nodded and replied "There is but, me and my co-workers don't really get along. I usually just hang out here." I nodded.
He asked again, "So why did you zone out on me like that? Could you be..." I almost yelled out lout, but I managed to control my voice, "I'm gay okay!" and felt my blush darken 10 times.
Ben continued, "I was gonna say, Could you be surprised by how beautiful I am?" teasingly. He added, "I'm just kidding. That was pretty brave of you to confess to a stranger like me."
I nodded, and saids nervously, "S-so do you h-hate me now...?" which made the gorgeous hunk in front of me perk his head up and said "Why would I hate you? I don't judge LGBT peoples, if I do then I'd be judging myself."
Then I perked up my head, the blush now gone, "Wait... are you...?" He shook his head and said, "No, I'm not gay but I'm Bisexual." Again, my jaw dropped. I almost yelled out "CAN YOU BE ANYMORE PERFECT?!" but thankfully I didn't. I started eating my lunch.
While chewing on my sandwich, he asked me, "Soo... how did your friends and mother take it when you... confessed?"
3rd Person POV
Carlos choked on his sandwich as soon as Ben asked that question. Ben handed him a bottle of water, but he refused it and took out his own bottle. Ben smiled at the cute black bottle with white paw prints on it.
When Carlos' choking fit finally died down, he blushed and looked at the teacher. Ben smiled at Carlos' blushing, he thought Carlos looked adorable every time he blushed. He took Carlos' hands, which to his surprise was warm and soft.
Carlos was startled at that action, but his hand just melted into the teacher's hand, but he managed to keep his conscious, as the question Ben asked was actually serious. He frowned, then Ben kissed Carlos' hands and said "Don't worry, you can tell me..." softly. Carlos nodded.
He started, "So my friends were the first to know about this, by friends I don't mean Mal, Evie or Jay. I had more friends back then. When I accidentally erected while looking at one of the hunks back at high school..." his eyes started getting teary.
"That's when my life turned upside down. One of my so called 'friends' saw this and literally pointed it out. All of the students, including the hunk I was looking at turned to look at me then laughed. My mother wasn't as famous back then, so they weren't really afraid of me. I ran all the way back to my class. The next day, a bully shoved me against my locker and said 'queer' with the other students laughing and mocking me..." That's where Carlos started crying. He could feel Ben's hands wipe away the tears, and Ben smiled at him. But he wanted to continue.
"A few days later, I met Jay. He was about to beat up some students, until I ran in with the teacher. Ms. Hill, our geography teacher was the only one who didn't mind me being queer. She'd always be there for me. She saw as some students were beating up Jay. She literally yelled at the students furiously, as I walked towards Jay. I helped him over to the infirmary while the students were punished to stand in the middle of the basketball court, being burnt by the sun. What made me more satisfied is the fact that it was summer." Ben asked, "So is that how you met Jay?" Carlos nodded then continued again.
"Afterwards, Jay basically became my bodyguard, although I managed to convince him to stop being so menacing. There were some bullies here and there when Jay wasn't around, but when he was, nobody dared to come near me. Then I met Evie during Chemistry. The teacher loved to pick on her, Mr. Parc was always mean. He would humiliate anyone who couldn't answer his question. Evie couldn't answer, so I blurted out the question, which made him say 'I wasn't asking you, queer.' which humiliated me instead of her. She gave me this 'thank you soo much' face afterwards" Carlos felt Ben's grip on him get harder.
"And finally Mal. By the time I knew Mal, everyone knew I was queer, except for my mother. Mal decided it was her task to report to my mother, thankfully she did. My mother came to the school afterwards, and caused basically 60% of the school students to be suspended after she showed Fairy Godmother the beating I received for being a queer. Thankfully, she accepted me, and Mal became one of my friends. Mal, Evie and Jay were the only ones who stuck with me during my painful 3 more years of high school." Ben's grip had gotten even harder. And now more tears were streaming down Carlos' eyes.
Carlos put his hand on top of Ben's hand that was on top of his other hand, (hand-ception!) to feel his warmth on both. Not knowing what Ben was doing, he leaned in almost in a kissing way. Then the bell rang, Carlos quickly snatched his hands away from Ben's grasp. He stood up and said "I-I need to go get the k-kids."
Ben smiled as Carlos exit the classroom.
He walked out and went to the cafeteria to get the kids. Once again, he almost got lost. This time if he did get lost, he would literally bring the children with him. Thank god, Ben was standing outside. He smiled at Carlos as they entered their class, and Carlos blushed once again.
The thought of Ben kissing him couldn't leave his mind all day long.
Carlos' POV
Finally, the dreadfully confusing day had ended. I almost ripped my hair out on the last hour, the kids got crazier than usual. I don't know what Ben tried to do before, but thankfully he didn't.
For some reason, I have this odd... pull towards Ben. I felt as if he was my soul mate, but what do I know.
What do I have that is to like? I'm a coward, I'm weak, I'm practically useless!
I shook that feeling off as soon as the bell went off, I arranged the students outside as they waited for their parents. When everyone finally left, Ben got ready to lock the door. I picked my bag leaning towards the wall on the floor up and got ready to walk home. When I got outside, I looked around for a cab. I was too focused on looking around, I felt two hands grab my waist and someone yelled in my ear, "BOO!" For some reason, this was really familiar, but that thought was shaken off soon afterwards.
I almost rolled down the stairs, fortunately for me Ben grabbed my hand and stopped my from falling, then pulled me closer, our lips were inches apart.
I couldn't let this happen, so I said "Uhm, can you let me go now..." blushing, it did break the little moment between us. He smiled as I said "What the heck was that for?" He replied "Oh nothing, I just wanted to see if you were easily startled."
I crossed my arms and said "Well now you know." Ben stared at me for a few seconds.
Ben's POV
Carlos looked adorable when he crossed his arms and tried to look angry. I don't know what's happening but, all day long I couldn't focus on teaching the kids. I could only think about Carlos, I felt as if he was my soul mate... But that was just crazy.
He probably has his own boyfriend already.
He snapped me out of my stare by asking "Why are you staring at me like that?" I shook my head and said "Oh, nothing."
We walked down the stairs, I asked while walking "So how are you getting back home?" He looked around "I was gonna ride a taxi... but since there's none around, I'll just take the bus." A dig went off in my head, which was strange but I ignored it.
I suggested, "Why don't I give you a ride?" He shook his head and said "No thanks. My house is a bit far, plus I didn't want to trouble you." I insisted, "You won't trouble me, besides I offered, why would I be troubled by my own offer?"
He refused again. I said in a commanding tone, "Carlos, I'll give you a ride back home." he shivered. Him shivering made me feel like this has happened before, multiple times in fact, but I was sure that today is the first time I've seen this beauty in my life.
He refused again, still looking around for a taxi. I commanded, "One..." not sure what I was even doing. He looked at me, then back at the road. "Two..." He looked at me again, now nervous and blushing.
I finished, "Three." He said to me while looking at me, "You can't possibly force me." I nodded and said in a deep voice, "Oh, I can." as I dragged him towards my car and he entered it seeing me put on an angry face. I quickly shook it off as soon as he closed the door.
I entered and saw him pouting, I let out a laugh and said "Oh come on, don't give me that pouting face, give me a smiling face!" He continued to cross his arm and pout, then I said in a commanding tone again, "Carlos, don't make me start counting."
He quickly gave me a fake smile, but I accepted that. I started the engine and said "Alright so, where do you live?" He stated, looking out the window "Why should I tell you?" teasingly. I answered, "If you don't tell me, I won't be able to send you back." chuckling.
He let out a huff and said, "I live in Derpington Street, 7101" I nodded and started driving. Then I asked, "So how did you get to work this morning? And how do you plan to go to work?" He answered, "I guess I'll just do what I did this morning, take the 7, 24, 8 and 12 bus." I looked at him through the rear mirror and said "Wow that's a lot of work." He nodded.
I said "How about I just pick you up?" He replied in hesitation, "No thanks, I really don't want to trouble you." Then I said "No really, it won't trouble me at all. Besides, I enjoyed company with you today, no doubt I'll enjoy it more soon." smiling. For some reason, I just wanted to claim Carlos. Even though I have Audrey.
I've only been dating Audrey for like two weeks, but I felt as if Carlos is the one I'm supposed to be with.
He nodded while blushing "Alright then, I guess..." I smiled at the thought of being alone with Carlos every day before and after work. God he's just too adorable for me to resist! Hopefully he feels the same way.
Then I shook my head and thought, 'probably not...'
While we were driving, he asked me "Soo uh... Ben, do you have a girlfriend...?" I nodded, "Yeah, Audrey's her name." I saw his face sink as I nod, with the expression of disappointment and regret, this made me feel guilty. He kept quiet the entire way. He didn't even mutter "See ya" or "Goodbye" or something along those lines, he opened the door, quickly closed it and ran into his house.
Carlos' POV
For some reason, my heart crumbled when Ben said he had a girlfriend. I thought he was my soul mate, but turns out no.
I quickly closed the door of his car and quickly entered my house and ran up to my room. I threw the bad on the ground next to the bed and sobbed. I thought I had found the love of my life, but turns out it was all just a disappointment.
Just like everything in my life.
That's all for the first chapter!
