Woah, where did 4 months go? =w=!
I'm sorry for taking so long despite wanting to write and update this. XwX
May you enjoy~ :D
Tease06 – You-sensei is so worried for Riko-sensei she carries her (if that isn't love, I don't know what is)
Ever since she started, Riko found teaching wondrous, fun and intriguing to a point of giddiness. Today, however, that giddiness she was experiencing from her left brain to the right was not due to her enjoyment in teaching art. The art teacher breathes a heavy breath as she placed both hands on the teacher's art desk for aid in keeping her standing straight.
"So...we will be..." The auburn-haired teacher tries to explain what shall be conducted in class only to break out into a coughing fit, a demure hand flying up to cover her mouth as she gave an apologetic expression to her students. "I'm sorry, I..."
"Are you okay, Riko-sensei?"
"You should sit!"
"Mm..." Riko's mind latches on the word 'sit'. Sitting sounds like such a comfortable thing right now. Her body won over mind as she slid down onto the chair behind her, face growing redder and hotter. "I'm just a little dizzy. I just need-"
A student jumps to her feet, startling Riko in the slightest as the world was spinning to the art teacher. The student exchange quick glances with her friends before exclaiming, "We'll go get help!"
Before Riko could process the declaration and consider protesting, the kids were out of the art room and running through the corridors in search for the one and only Watanabe You-sensei.
"You-sensei...You-sensei..." One student mutters continuously as the trio ran pass many classrooms, giving a quick scan to see if the gym teacher was inside.
"D-Do you think Riko-sensei w-will be okay?" Another question; a bit out of breath and very much the worrywart.
"Oh, c'mon. That's why we are looking for You-sensei right now! Once Riko-sensei's girlfriend heals her, she'll be all healthy again!" The one who declared the search pumps a fist forwards as they make their way for the school court; there's a chance the gym teacher was conducting a class right now after all.
"R-right..."
"Save Riko-sensei! You-sensei!" The student shouts but shrieks as she bumps into someone at the turn.
"Woah there- No running in the hallway, kids."
Three collective gasps sound as they recognized that handsome voice anywhere. "YOU-SENSEI!"
You blinks at the loud volume literally right in front of her and directed at her before she smiles warmly, hoping to help calm the students down. "What's up? Shouldn't you three be in class?"
"You-sensei, help!"
"Eh? What's wrong?" You's jolly expression turns into concern at the word 'help' said with that much distress.
"R-Riko-sensei is..!"
"Riko-sensei is?" You's eyes widened considerably, nothing but worry for the art teacher filling her mind.
Did something happen to Riko-sensei? Is it serious? What-
Instead of an answer, the students turned and started running again. "Follow us, You-sensei! Hurry!"
You didn't need to be told twice considering that it concerns Riko. As You ran alongside the students, instead of letting her mind race with most probably, highly unlikely, worst case scenarios, You asks again, "What happened to Riko-sensei? Could you tell?"
Please don't let Riko-sensei be hurt...or injured…
The adrenaline of running so much, mixed with their concern for their art teacher, however, causes the students to exclaim, "She can't get up!"
EH?
You's face morphed into that of disbelief and fear.
Did an entire shelf of art materials fall onto Riko-sensei?
"She fainted!"
Fainted? Okay, that's not as serious as the first one. Or was it fainting after the first one?
You shakes her head in an attempt to not let all these horrible scenarios of the gentle art teacher being incapable of saving herself lead her into a state of panic, which would be bad since she still hasn't done the actual saving.
"We've got to hurry." You mutters more to herself than to the students as she picked up the pace.
"Do you think s-she'll be okay?"
You takes a second or so to push the negative bug aside and turn to give her student a reassuring smile. "She'll be okay."
I'll make sure she's okay.
Nearing the art room, You didn't even bother waiting for the three students to catch up or lead, as where the art teacher would be is obvious. You kicks off the ground for an extra push and hurries through the door that was thankfully left open. The gym teacher didn't want to have to go through the trouble of opening a door or accidentally breaking one.
"Is Riko-sensei here?"
Please be here. Please be alright.
Wide sky blue eyes scanned the room, taking note of the students pointing towards the teacher's desk, You's line of sight follows to see a head of burgundy hidden behind stacks of canvases, paintbrushes of various sizes and who knows what.
"Riko-sensei!"
You strides over to the art teacher slumped on the table, lowering her back to get a closer look; concern and worry paints her face. "Riko-sensei? Are you feeling okay? Do you hurt anywhere?"
What do I do in these sort of situations? Ahhh…I better just check on how she is at the moment…
Riko sounds a muffled "Mm…" Clearly having difficulty doing anything else.
The ash-brunette's eyebrows furrowed as she strains her ears to hear what Riko was trying to say, frowning when Riko didn't say another word. "You don't sound okay…"
Now what do I do? Mm…
The class that has been observing intently at their favourite gym teacher display a whole lot of care for their favourite art teacher exchange glances and disoriented whispers before coming to a decision to assist.
"Check her temperature, You-sensei." A student suggests.
You looks up, nods to the student before shifting Riko's head as gently as she could to the right so that the teacher's face visible.
Gosh, her face is all red…And she looks so weak…
You swallows and nudges herself to stop staring and start moving. After one, two deep breaths through the nose, "E-Excuse me for a bit…Riko-sensei…I'm just gonna check your temperature…"
You murmurs as she moves closer to the art teacher's flushed face, slowly, azure eyes fixated on Riko's forehead, a shaky hand raised to brush Riko's fringe to the side.
The students all stared hard, holding their breaths. Some even stood to get a better view. Some hushed whispers amongst themselves for what's to come.
"Is this really going to happen?"
"It's happening isn't it..!"
"Forehead touch..!"
You then puts the back of her hand to Riko's forehead and another to her own for the temperature comparison. You flinches and gives Riko a look of disapproval. "Woah, you're really hot, Riko-sensei."
Riko heats up more at that statement while loud murmurs start within the class.
Riko-sensei definitely has a high fever…
You was oblivious as she stands to her full height. "I'll take you to the nurse's office."
"…No…" Riko attempts to protest, still wanting to recover on her own and continue her lesson, and maybe, just maybe, a little worried that You bringing her to the nurse's office would cause her to overheat before she even reaches the doctor.
"There's no room for discussion here, Riko-sensei. I've told you umpteen times to-" You sighs, not wanting to nag and worsen the art teacher's headache which tends to be part of the package of fevers. She makes to carry Riko but the art teacher places a horribly weak hand on her shoulder to stop. "Riko-"
Riko's face was as red as the freshest crops of strawberries and she could barely hold eye contact with the still unaware and seemingly radiant gym teacher who was so going to scoop her up in those strong arms and make Riko's fever worsen. "I…can walk…"
Yeah, right.
You shakes her head but moves to put her arm around the art teacher, hand on the auburn-haired teacher's shoulder so that Riko can stand, then shifting it down to Riko's waist to give her support. Not noticing any of the student's squeals and misunderstanding Riko's tightening grip on her other hand as a need for steadying Riko's feet.
Riko-sensei probably doesn't want to let the kids see her weak like that. I'll carry her to the nurse's office once we're out of sight.
A painstakingly long six minutes later of Riko feebly exiting the art room with You's assistance, the gym teacher gives her surrounding a quick scan, then stands in front of Riko. "We'll take at least an hour to get to nurse's office with your pace, Riko-sensei… This is for your own good. So be a good girl and let me bring you there, okay?"
Riko opens her mouth to rebut, however…You was right. And she did notice the gym teacher making sure that the coast was clear, so she gives her nod of agreement. "No…princ-"
You steps into Riko's personal space from the front, bend her knees a little before letting the art teacher's body weight all rest on her own front, hands crossed below Riko's upper thigh. With Riko safely lifted up, You begins walking to the nurse's office as quickly as she could.
Unbeknownst to the two teachers, some of the students did sneak out the classroom despite You's instructions to just paint something, so that they could catch another You-sensei and Riko-sensei moment, plus snap a few pictures of the whole process of You-sensei carrying Riko-sensei; even if it wasn't a princess carry.
