Monday brought another school day and another encounter with Raphael. It started off just like any other school day, Balthazar got up, showered, got dressed, ate breakfast and left the house. He arrived at the school with enough time to fill in Jody about the weekend's events, while Gabriel listened for a second time (Balthazar had called him to talk on Saturday after Raphael's visit), and set up his first class. There was even five minutes to spare to wander over to Lu's room, tap his ass gently then end up pressed against the storeroom door and kissed thoroughly. After making lunch arrangements, Balthy went back to his own classroom, lips slightly swollen.

Classes went as normal, and when the lunch bell rang, Lu met Balthazar outside his room and they strolled towards the cafeteria. They talked about classes and purchased their food, deciding to sit outside, the pair settled at a table on the outskirts of the students.

Balthazar was laughing at something Lu had said when his smile dropped off his face and he went still "Oh, fuck." he sighed.

Lu turned to see what was wrong, and wished he hadn't; Raphael was walking towards them. He made to get up but Balthazar put his hand on Lu's wrist, silently asking him not to.

Next thing, Raphael was at their table, ignoring Lu completely and talking directly to Balthazar "Are you ready to come back to me yet? I have given you enough time and you haven't contacted me yet, why not?"

"I have already told you Raphael, I am with Lu now, and I will not be coming back to you, please leave and stop bothering us, your new temperament does not become you." Lu didn't know how Balthazar was so calm and collected, he would not be.

Before Raphael could continue, Gabriel came jogging over "Hey guys, look Raph, you aren't allowed to be here, and you shouldn't be here, you need to let this go and walk away for good."

After giving a dirty look to Lu, Raphael took off without another word.

"Thank you, Gabriel." Balthy appreciated his friend stepping in. Gabe ended up sitting with them for the rest of lunch; Raphael was the topic of conversation.

Tuesday flew by without any sign of Raphael and Wednesday seemed to be going the same. Lu wanted to take Balthazar out somewhere to take their minds off the whole Raphael situation, but he wasn't really up to scratch on what there was to do for fun around town.

"Gabriel to the rescue."

"I wouldn't really say 'rescue' Gabe, I'm just asking for info, I'm sure that Jody would know, I could go ask her..." Lu replied with a small smirk.

The history teacher put his hand over his heart "You couldn't just let me have my moment." There was a fake sniffle from Gabe and then Jody walked into the staff room.

"Jesus, did I just walk into the staff room or the drama room?"

"Both." Answered Lu, Jody just laughed.

"So, why the performance anyway?" She asked.

"I asked Gabriel if he knew anywhere that Balthazar liked to go to have fun, and he's acting like he just saved my life." Lu informed her.

Jody rolled her eyes, and they say girls are the ones who make all the drama. "Our Balthazar loves ten pin bowling, he's pretty good too, not that he'd admit it."

"Okay, awesome, I love bowling too, just tell me where." Lu grinned, he was keen for them to have a good time together...a proper date even.

After getting the name of the bowling alley, Lu googled them and called ahead to make sure they had a lane available. The next step was asking Balthazar on a date, he was nervous for some reason, probably because he really liked Balthazar and he really didn't want to fuck it up.

When the last bell went to signal the end of the day, Lu hurried over to the French room. The last student exited and Lu almost chickened out of knocking on the door, but he did it, knuckles tapping on the paint.

The French teacher looked up and smiled when he saw Lu, beckoning him to come in as he gathered his notes off his desk. "Hello, love, what brings you here?"

"Certainly not the sexy French teacher in front of me." Lu teased, grinning at Balthy as he lent on the desk.

"Well, I repeat then;" Lu lent more on the desk, ass against the edge, arms stretched back supporting his weight, his shirt slid up just a little and Balthazar got slightly distracted "what brings you here?"

"Actually, I lied, it is the sexy French teacher-" Lu began.

Balthazar stepped up in front of Lu, between his legs and spoke quietly but with a slightly dominant tone "One day, I am going to have you on this desk, Lucifer, you just look so fuckable sprawled out on it."

The entire situation went straight to Lu's pants and he gasped, eyes wide. The way Balthazar had said his full name, it was downright filthy and he was so turned on right now "Why not now? I'm /up/ for it." He stood, which meant his body was pressed up against Balthazar's.

The French teacher had to take a deep breath before answering "I can feel that, and because we could get caught, and we are supposed to be taking it slower than that. Also, I want to be able to take our time and all that the first time."

Lu took a step back out of the sexual tension "I agree with all that, I was just thinking with my dick for a minute, you have no idea how turned on you just made me."

"Its okay, I feel like a horny teenager again too."

"Yeah, that's one way to put it." Lu suddenly remembered the whole reason he came across the hallway, at least he had forgotten his nerves. "Oh, I actually came over here to ask if you were free to go out tonight?"

"Tonight? Yeah, sounds fun love. What are we doing?"

"Ten pin bowling?" Lu asked casually.

Balthazar grinned "Can't wait."
