The teacher hadn't arrived yet by the time they found some seats by the window. The class was already filled with students chattering away, most of them not in their seats. The bell dinged after a while and everyone hurried to their seats. The door opened and everyone quieted down as the teacher stepped in. Robin heard some of the girls gasp and start whispering to their friends. He himself had to stop himself from blushing because holy- that man is beautiful. He figured a while ago he was bisexual, but no boy had gotten him to blush so hard as this man that is probably twice as old as him. And he's his teacher. What the living hell is wrong with him? He can't fall for his teacher, 1) 'cause it's very wrong, 2) he was already interested in someone else. But still, he couldn't stop looking at him. He seemed so familiar too.
"Good morning everyone," he smiled. Oh no his voice was hot too- Robin stop. "I'll be your professor this year, but you know, I hate formalities so please just call me Chrom. I'll take attendance quickly then we can get started, is that alright?"
"Yes," the whole class said. Chrom nodded.
"You can talk to your friends while I get everything ready," Chrom said and started looking through his portfolio. Robin let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. His heart was beating so fast and his face was so hot. He felt a tap on his shoulder which almost made him scream but he held it in. He turned around and saw Zelda smirking at him. A smirk that knew full well what he was feeling.
"You've been tense since he started talking," she said. "You good?"
"Uh- I- yeah, I'm totally fine," he lied. He felt like he was about to have a heart attack.
"Mhm," Zelda smirk grew. "Does he look familiar?"
"A little yeah," Robin said.
"Yeah well he's Lucina's dad."
He froze. Huh? Wait, waitwaitwaitwait. So you're saying, that the two people he's interested in, are related. Not only that, but one of them is his teacher and is probably married.
"Oh," Robin said. "I... I didn't know that."
"Mhm, and neither of them are available, one for obvious reasons," Zelda said.
"Wait what," Robin said.
"Lucina hasn't told you?" Zelda said, genuinely surprised.
"No?"
"Oh. Well, um, how do I put this nicely," Zelda said, and she looked like she genuinely felt bad. "Lucina and Palutena, they're uh, ...dating."
Robin's glasses dropped from his face, falling to the floor and breaking. Zelda gasped and crouched down to pick of the broken glass. Once Robin was out of his shock state, he also started picking up the broken glass. He could feel the stares of others. They were totally judging him. They probably thought he was stupid for letting his glasses break that easily. In the stupidest way possible too. They'll start making rumors, they'll ignore him, they'll-
"Robin! You're hand is bleeding," Zelda suddenly said.
"Young man, are you alright?"
"Huh?" Robin said after finally snapping out of it. He looked up and saw Chrom looking at him worriedly. Robin blushed.
"Robin, was it?" His name sounded nice coming from him. "Do you need to go to the nurse?" Robin looked down and realized the hand he had injured yesterday was bleeding yet again. There was a shard of glass stuck on his palm, right bellow his injury from yesterday.
"Oh," Robin said. He hadn't noticed. It didn't even hurt.
"Come on, I'll take you to the nurse," Zelda grabbed his arm and pulled him up. "Sorry, Chrom!"
"It's alright, I'll take care of it. You just get that treated and come back, okay?" Chrom smiled.
"Yes, sir!" Zelda said. She dragged Robin out of the classroom and they walked downstairs.
"Sorry, I spaced out," Robin said.
"Yeesh, you need to focus more often," Zelda scolded. He flinched slightly.
"Sorry," Robin frowned. Zelda turned her head slightly and looked at him. He looked really upset and she was sure he was thinking negatively. She felt bad. Maybe she was too harsh. She sighed, stopping in her tracks. Robin froze when he noticed she stopped. He thought he was gonna get scolded again, even if he deserved it.
"Robin," she said gently. He looked up at her, slightly surprised by her gentle tone. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have teased you like that. I also shouldn't have scolded you like that for something that wasn't your fault. It was an accident, and those things happen. So don't feel bad, no one is gonna judge you for it."
He was genuinely surprised, yet very happy to say the least. He smiled. "Thank you."
"Let's get that hand treated," Zelda said. Robin nodded and followed her.

The third bell that day dinged. Chrom stopped what he was writing on the board and sighed. He turned to the class and pointed out the door, letting them know they were free to go. About half the class got up and left while the rest stayed behind. He had a free period, so he assumed they did too.
Zelda tapped him on the shoulder so he turned to face her. "Those people are going to Fighter Skill, we have Magic skill after lunch. Come on, I'll show you around the school in the mean time. You don't need to bring your things since we're coming back anyway."
"Okay," Robin said. He gathered his things and put them in his backpack.
"Father!" That voice sounded familiar.
"Yes Lucina?" Oh no, he's screwed. He turned his head to the front and saw Lucina talking with Chrom. She looked at him for a second then back at Chrom, before looking back at Robin and smiling widely. Chrom noticed and turned his head to him. Robin sat up straight and turned his head away.
"Robin! I didn't know you were in my father's class!" Lucina said, making her way towards him.
"Uh- yeah, sorry I didn't tell you," Robin said.
"Nah, it's okay. I'll convince my father to give you good grades," Lucina said.
"Hey! What about me," Zelda said.
"Zelda you already have amazing grades," Lucina said.
"Heh, that's true," Zelda smirked. Lucina rolled her eyes and smiled.
"I gotta go now, I'll see you later," Lucina gave him a quick wave and walked away with Chrom. He gave Robin on last look before existing the classroom.
"Have I done fucked?" Robin said.
"Nah, Chrom knows about Lucina and Pat, he was probably just curious since he knows she's bi," Zelda said. "Ugh, I'm hungry. Let's go to the cafeteria, they should have something to eat there-"
Someone tapped her shoulder and both of them looked up. He recognized him as one of the guys from earlier. Link was it? He offered a smile to Robin before turning back to Zelda. He started doing hand movements in a specific order. Sign language? Was he-
"A pen? Oh yeah sure," Zelda said while signing it. She reached inside the pencil case and handed one to Link. "Here you go!" She signed that too.
"Thank... you," He said. His voice sounded kinda squeaky, but deep. He waved at them and walked back to his desk.
"Is he-"
"Deaf? Yes, that's why there was a translator at the meeting yesterday," Zelda said.
"Oh. I should start learning it huh."
"I could teach you."
"Really?"
"Sure! It's gonna be confusing though."
"I can handle it."
"If you say so."
