Work Text:
“I have been so busy lately that I barely have enough time to sleep and eat!
“You always have more than enough time for your favorite student though.”
He lifted his gaze from the mountain of paperwork on his desk.
”Confident, are we?”
”But of course, Augustine.”
”On first name-basis now, huh?”
“Is it really that unusual for a student to call his teacher by his first name?”
“It’s not that I dislike it, I’m just not quite sure if our relationship is the kind a teacher and a student usually share.”
There was a pause. After swallowing hard, as Lysandre noted, he continued: “I don’t like picking favorites among my students but it’s true that you are a spectacular learner and it’s hard not to notice that. You are indeed my favorite and I very much enjoy having you in my class.”
Instead of asking what the part about the nature of their relationship meant, Lysandre went for a more direct approach:
“What do you feel when I call you by your first name?”
Not letting the professor answer, he stepped closer and continued without breaking eye-contact:
“You like it, don’t you, Augustine?”
Lysandre was now so close he could feel his breath ghosting against his neck.
“It makes conversation more intimate…“ His hands settled on professors waist. Augustine’s heart was racing and he felt like it might just explode out of his chest any second now.
