Sora loved teaching. He's worked at an elementary school for only a couple of years, but he couldn't imagine doing anything better. The only thing Sora decided he didn't like about working at a school was that there's no guarantee he could stay in the same place. He didn't even know he didn't like aspect until he was informed last year that the school he worked at was shutting down and he had to move.
The move made his job closer to home and his class was smaller but he couldn't quite keep the panic from rising into his throat when he loaded the car with boxes and drove to the school to get settled.
His e-mail wasn't working when he tried to send a message telling the staff he would be in that day and he didn't know his classroom number so the sweet receptionist had to locate his key but couldn't find it. When they spoke they could only speak in half sentences because the phone wouldn't stop ringing, making him wait half an hour before she received a text message on her phone stating which envelope he needed.
He hadn't even seen her send the text asking about it.
It took another ten minutes to find his classroom at the very end of the elementary school wing. Then he needed to get permission to drive his car near the playground so he could bring his stuff in through the back entrance.
It took the whole day just to get the boxes inside and just when he began to move the desks back into place the janitor came in and told him that he had to leave so they could lock the school.
But this was the life that Sora had chosen and so the next day he climbed out of bed and made his way back to the school. Only when he got to his room the door was open and the lights were on and music was playing.
"Hello…" was all Sora could manage as he stepped into his room, spotting a silver haired god sitting on his desk and looking at the picture of him and Kairi graduating university.
He turned, setting the picture down and smiling at the brunette. "Hi, I'm Kairi's cousin, Riku, and she said you might need a little help getting set up."
Sora was tempted to let his jaw drop. "Some help would be appreciated." He smiled in order to do something besides gape. "You don't mind?"
Riku shook his head, pushing himself off the desk and rolling up the sleeves of his jacket, returning the smile that the brunette had sent his way. "Just tell me where to start."
If Sora had to be painfully honest, maybe the worst part of teaching wasn't all that bad after all. That is, if you get a man named Riku to help out.
A/N: I repeat Sable; longer.
