So, I got over my writer's block and I got a little inspiration. So this is for those of you who are hopefully still reading and waiting, or for those who are just discovering it. Sadly, I do not own Glee. I am not Ryan Murphy (don't let the Kangol fool you.) I am just a super fan with slightly weird fanfic ideas that don't go away until they're posted online.
Trigger Warning:This story deals with the topics of pedophilia,/ephebophilia, sexual abuse, and domestic abuse.
Will Schuester knew Shelby Corcoran. Hell, everyone in the show choir circuit knew who she was. She was the Nationals winning coach of Vocal Adrenaline. She also starred in a Off-Off Broadway version of Wicked that got good reviews, and yet her career went nowhere. Will Schuester also knew about her being Rachel Berry's mother. It really didn't take too much for anyone to put together to figure it out. Shelby went to a private school in Westerville where her parents expected her to go into the family law business. Unfortunately, Shelby had a love for the arts and they didn't approve. She starred in a couple of Lima productions to hide from her family that she was even performing. The two of them didn't talk, but that didn't stop Will from watching her. That didn't stop him from overhearing her talking about being a surrogate for a couple in Lima for a few thousand bucks.
Rachel's resemblance to her was uncanny. Anyone could see a photo of the two of them side-by-side and guess they were Mother and Daughter. However, there was something special in Rachel that she possessed that her mother didn't. He thought that it had something to do with the fact that Rachel exudes purity and delight from her body in everything she does, whereas Shelby always had a little grit to her. He was never attracted to Shelby because of it. No matter how many times he had to play her romantic co-star when the two were teens, he had to rely solely on his acting talents to get by.
Her age for one, was one of the main things that kept him away from her. And Two, he actually loved Terri. He loved her to the point where no other girl could sway his feelings for her. Not even one as pretty as Shelby. But, Rachel Berry was something different. Rachel Berry is the love of his life, and even if she doesn't know it, one day she will and hopefully she feels the same.
Sure, he had a baby on the way and a loving wife who looks the other way, but maybe he could just whisk his kid and Rachel away to New York where they could be a family together. Young girls love children, and Rachel Berry could be a good mother. Or maybe he could just stay in Lima with Terri and his child, date Rachel on the side and come Senior year he could pack up and leave with her. But, that meant more waiting and he waited long enough for her.
He put together a half-assed attempt of a Glee club years ago just so she'd have somewhere to call home at McKinley, and he even gave away solos that should've been hers to seem impartial. He couldn't slip up like he did in the past. No making Terri role-play as his students anymore or giving long hugs to certain female Glee club members. He was going to seem as normal as he could, as nice as he could be. No one would ever think twice about "Nice Guy, Will Schuester" being in love with a student. If he did a good job of getting away with it in the past, he could certainly do so now.
Rachel Berry would be his last girl, and he was okay with that.
Kurt Hummel was glad to see that his suspicions were just that. Maybe he watched too much Law and Order that week or something. There's no way would hurt Rachel. He was a good teacher, even if he did turn the other cheek when Santana would berate Rachel or when he sees him getting pushed in the hallway. That's just a McKinley teacher for you. More importantly, was actually giving him a chance at solos.
His father was proud of everything he was doing in Glee, it made coming to McKinley worth it for him. It made all the bullying seem like just a stepping stone on his path to greatness, and it was all thanks to the Glee club.
Besides, if was doing something to Rachel, she would tell her best friend right?
Rachel Berry knew when someone was being inappropriate. She knew that 's touches sometimes bordered on inappropriate, she knew that maybe she shouldn't be the first one in the choir room.
But, she didn't mind his glances and touches all that much. He was the only guy who seemed to be into her besides Jacob Ben Israel And, it would make good fodder for her eventual biography-turned-into-award-winning-biopic. She knew when to say no and when to stop him. But, she also had a slight attraction to the older man. He was good-looking for his age, talented, and he appreciated her talents. All things she wanted in a boyfriend. Of course, her teacher couldn't be that because not only would it be inappropriate, but he was married.
So, she's going to let the touches and things slide for now. Sometimes it felt nice to her to know that someone actually likes her besides her parents and Kurt. Sometimes it was nice to have someone say nice things about you that didn't have to do with your voice. It was nice for her to have a teacher to talk to about her problems without them sending her to Miss Pillsbury for an inaccurate pamphlet.
Will Schuester couldn't be all that bad, right?
I know! It's short especially after the long little hiatus, but I just wanted to give you all something to tide you over. So, thanks for sticking with this and reviews + favoriting the story are awesome and amazing.
