"And thus Shakespeare was to become the greatest playwright in all of history." Professor Kirkland paused his attack of the chalkboard. "Mr. Belischmidt, I do so hope that's not you I hear talking," There's the expected sputter of giggles.

"No, but Mr. Kirkland I think - " The albino begins.

"I don't care what you think at the moment, Mr. Belischmidt, your thoughts can wait after class," The professor said, his British accent crisp and final.

"But Mr. Kirkland-" Gilbert pipes up again, his hand waving wildly about the air. The students titter amongst themselves, whispers growing louder.

Professor Kirkland slams the chalk back into the slate and whips around, "Mr. Belischmidt, if you do not cease interrupting my lecture I-" Suddenly the professor freezes mid-word. In front of him is a sight he had been longing to see for years.

"Hey Artie,"

There's a crash of a textbook on the floor and glasses falling after being set askew as the uptight, infamous English Professor Kirkland embraces a large, blonde man in army uniform. Professor Kirkland is burying his face into the man's neck, hiding tears of pure joy as the tall man wraps his arms around the professor, filling the room with boisterous laughter. "You idiot!"

The students are suddenly standing and clapping vigorously, all pulling out phones to take snapshots of the happy reunion.

"Who is that anyway?" Student Antonio Carriedo asks Gilbert.

"Dude, I think that's the professor's boyfriend,"

The pair watch the couple another moment before turning to look at each other with wide eyes. "Dude," They both whisper in unison.

"That's totally awesome."

"Si, this is like, movie worthy."

As the students clap and cheer, obviously out of norm for the classroom, the professor can not bring himself to care. He's too busy clinging to his Alfred whispering the necessary 'I love you's' and 'I missed you more than you can imagine,'.

"I'm home," Alfred Jones grinned down at Arthur, eyes crinkling.

Arthur smiles as tears shamelessly glisten in his eyes, he presses a chaste kiss to his lips. "You're home."
