So much for updating on time.
I actually love age reversal things. And this was a lot of fun, so I might make a longer thing for it someday.
Also, you can probably tell that I have no idea how getting another major actually works so let's just pretend this is how it happens.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail.
Title: Double Major
Pairing: Mard Geer x Lucy
Requester: rainingwhiteroses
Prompt: University AU, with Lucy as lecturer and Mard as top class student.
Opening up her office, Lucy was mildly surprised to find it already occupied. By a student, no less. Pausing at the threshold, she watched the young man for a long moment.
"Feet don't belong on desks," she informed him crisply.
He glanced up, and then put his feet on the ground where they rightly should be.
It wasn't lost on the professor that he hadn't apologized. Lucy skirted the intruder and sat in her chair. At least he hadn't taken that, she conceded. "So what brings a student from another department to my office?"
He raised an eyebrow at her. "You're not going to ask how I got in?"
With a shrug, Lucy admitted, "My department is small and I don't keep anything important in here, so I rarely lock it. Aside from which, any of my doctoral students could have let you in since they all have keys."
"Huh," he replied.
"So? I assume you have something you want to ask me? Mr…?"
"Geer. Mard Geer."
Lucy snorted. "Mr. Geer, what brings you to my office? Aside from your desire to pretend to be James Bond?"
"Who knows," Mard replied. "You could be plotting world destruction."
"With what funding?"
It was his turn to concede. "I came to ask about joining your department as a double major."
Lucy looked him over a little more closely. He dressed much more properly than the typical college student. Hell, he could give her doctoral students a few lessons in how to iron creases. Albeit messy, his hair was pulled back from his face.
"What department are you currently in, Mr. Geer?"
"English."
That was vague. There were at least four different advisers and many different majors stemming from there. "Normally you'd ask your current adviser before coming to me about…"
"Already done." Smoothly, he placed a piece of paper on her desk. "I even have a letter of recommendation. I would just need your approval, and the appropriate paperwork to fill out."
Highly recommended at that, Lucy observed, glancing over the letter. "Classic Literature and Astrophysics are two very different majors."
"Don't you have the same?" came his retort. "Modern Literature, if I'm not mistaken."
Arrogant brat, Lucy couldn't help but think. He'd done his homework on her. That was a tad… disconcerting, yet not exactly out of the realm of the expected for a thorough individual. Which by all counts Mard Geer appeared to be.
"I don't have an issue with you joining my department." Reaching into her desk, she pulled out a packet of papers. "Here's what you need to fill out, and be sure to bring a copy of your transcript as well."
"Thank you."
As he rose to leave, she stopped him. "Seriously though, I'm curious. What made you want to join my department?"
Mard's lips twisted into a vague smile. "Maybe I took a shine to the company."
Friendly reminder that requests are closed.
