AN: How sad I had to re-read my own fic to remember where I even left off and I just wrote it yesterday, the worst short term memory I tell ya. I keep saying this but thank you so much to everyone who has reviewed, it really does mean a lot to me. Read and review. Enjoy :)


Finally after days of NOT preparing, the day had arrived. It was Monday morning and classes were starting at the community college. Stevens schedule was easy enough; Monday and Wednesday from 11 AM to 3 PM, Tuesday and Thursday was 3 PM to 7 PM. Odd schedule to say the least but even Steven couldn't get the times mixed up. He got up pretty early from all the nerves building up inside him. Honestly he wasn't even able to get a good nights sleep thinking about how the day might turn out. Just thoughts of him saying something stupid or not being able to keep up or understand kept running through his mind. In the end he did end up getting a couple hours of sleep and now it was time to get going.

"Bren I'm gonna get going. Got class at 11 and it's going to take me a little longer to get there by foot." Of course he basically said this to a man who was half asleep. Brendan didn't get home till 4 in the morning so he was in no mood to get up anytime soon.

"Hmm. What? Yeah you can take that." So apparently Brendan wasn't all there. He tried opening his eyes a little to look at Steven only to see him giving him a confused stare.

"What are you talking about Brendan?"

"Huh? Sorry still kinda asleep. You leaving already? Do you have everything? Make sure to eat something isn't it a couple hours long."

"What are you my mom? Yes I'm leaving now I woke up late not to mention you had me basically trapped so I couldn't really get up. Don't have time to eat but I'll get something from the machines."

"Alright. Going back to sleep. See ya." And with that Brendan brought the covers back over him and plopped his head onto the pillow. Ste just stared at him dumbfounded, not even a have a good day or you'll be fine. Or hell what about a damn kiss. Ugh he wanted this day over already and it hasn't even started yet. He looked at him one more time and sighed as he left his flat.


Ste made it to campus with about 15 minutes before his class so he ended up taking a seat and relaxing for the first time that morning. He got up and made his way to the room making sure he didn't get lost along the way. As he was making his way down the hall he bumped into someone.

"Sorry mate. Wasn't paying attention. Me." He said as he looked up and saw a huge smile on Ludwigs face. "Oh hey. Sorry about that again. I didn't know advisors roam the halls."

"Hello Ste. Nice to see you again. I usually don't to tell you the truth. I stay to my office since theirs a lot of work but I had a reason to walk around today." As Ste watched him finish that sentence he saw some weird look he just gave him. Creepy.

"Alright. Well I'm gonna be late. So I'll see you around."

"I'm sure you will Ste. Have a good day in class." Ludwig shouted at him as Ste was almost down the hall.


He made it right on the dot and took his seat. The professors name was and she was ok for the most part. They went over the objectives to the course and what she expected of her students. She said other things but by that point Ste had already tuned out. They were made to stand up and introduce themselves, say a little about their life.

"Hiya the names Steven but everyone calls me Ste. I have 2 children, Leah and Lucas. I'm 23 and own a deli with a friend. Erm yeah that's it. Thanks." Ugh he thought to himself why did I thank them.

After 2 hours of hell, at least in Stevens mind, the professor let them out for their 30 minute break. As Steven made his way out the room his phone vibrated.

Ste was about to text him back asking what he was on about when suddenly a pair of hands wrapped around his waist.

"Get off me!" As he turned to face this pervert he realized it was Brendan. Oops.

"Calm down. Make me look like a right stalker or something. I just came to see you really quick." That in itself made Stes heart just melt. Well that and how fucking hot Brendan was looking. He seemed to have gotten sleep because he looked well rested.

"Sorry Bren wasn't expecting you and my day has been nothing but crap." It wasn't so bad but being back in a class made Ste realize why he hated it so much.

"Sorry." Man of words Brendan is.

"It's fine I guess. What are you actually doing here Brendan?"

"Jesus Steven you can't even believe that I just came by to see you. Why does it have to be that I have an ulterior motive." Brendan looks at him and rubs his forehead with his hand and then puts a bag on the table. "Got you some food seeing as you didn't eat before you came." And Stes day just got better.

"Aww look at you. Did Brendunnn bring Stevunnnn his lunch box."

"Just shut up and eat."

Brendan stayed seated while Steven ate his lunch. They didnt say much just a couple glances at eachother. Break was just about over but Ste realized he wanted to go spend the day with Brendan but he knew he had 2 hours left.

"Bren why don't you pretend you're a student and just come to class with me. I hate it."

"Really Steven? No. I would end up distracting you more and then end up in a fight with a student. It would be a mess." Although it might be fun he thought. Hmmm he might have to look into that.

"Go back to class I'm gonna head over to the club see what I can do to keep me busy. I'll see you at home later on yeah?"

"Yeah ok. I'll probably have homework to do. Ugh I mean come on homework! But ok I'm gonna go before they close the door on me. See you later." They both get up from the table and Brendan gives him a small kiss on the lips and winks as he walks away.

When Ste gets back to class his mouth nearly hits the floor. It's every students dream come true. POP QUIZ! Just fucking terrific.

They do get the remainder of the class to do it but that's not enough time. For one Ste was reading slow but the main reason was he wasn't paying attention. At all. Then a light bulb went off in his head. Bingo. Lets see if he still has it after all these years. He casually leans forward and pulls out his phone.
