Hormones. The cause of embarrassment to teenagers across the whole of Great Britain. And the cause of countless headaches to the teenager's guardians.
Layton found himself one of those guardians. When he had taken Flora in to live with him and his apprentice, Luke, the two were children, and had no idea of the fact the two were of opposite sex.
But as the two grew older, when Luke discovered that Flora no longer had cooties but really was a pretty girl, and Flora noticed the deepening in Luke's voice and his growth spurt it all went downhill for Professor Hershel Layton.
Much to Layton's dismay, if the two weren't arguing constantly, they were blushing, stuttering, or staring. Much to Luke's embarrassment, his feet seemed to be growing at an alarming rate, and he found himself tripping over thin air at the worst times possible, usually when Flora was around.
As for Flora herself, she found she got much more attention then she wanted when she wore low-cut dresses.
All Layton could do was sigh and tell himself it would be over in a few years. But it was when he walked in on the two of them kissing, (or what appeared to be, Layton couldn't really tell) Luke's hands wandering places where a good gentleman hand's should never go, Layton knew he needed to find new tactics.
"TO YOUR ROOMS RIGHT THIS BLOODY INSTANCE!"
Poor Layton...
