This is something I had in my notes for awhile I just never really did anything with it lol
So like college AU Avery surprisingly gets hired as a tutor. Like he’s struggling a bit but he can help out cause he’s both a Botany and Computer Science major.
But like not a lot of people really understand stuff when Avery explains it so they don’t really go up to him. All he does is sit at the table while other people teach other people. He’s literally playing skywars and studying for a botanical class every time he’s at work LMFOAOA
At like some point he starts simping for Derek cause he looks kinda cute, but he doesn’t do anything. He does like stare at him a lot and at some point Derek notices and looks at him but Avery looks away in embarrassment.
All of a sudden at some point during work Derek comes in and is like “I need some tutoring n stuff”
And Avery is like “mkay I gotchu”
And like Derek PURPOSLEY MAKES MISTAKES so he can talk with Avery
Like there’s EASY mistakes and Avery manages to get it
And like when he gets back to see his roommate (let’s just make it Hastur lowk I don’t know anyone else he’s doing computer engineering) they laugh and they’re like “Derek? Like Derek Hutchkins?”
And Avery’s like, “The Dude with brown hair and glasses right?”
And the roommate is like, “Yeah. And you’re TUTORING him?”
And Avery’s like “yeah? What about it.”
And the roomate scoffs and is like, “Yeah sure, whatever you say bro.”
And like after a bit Derek and Avery start talking about stuff n stuff
It gets a lot subtle, so like Derek brings in snacks,
And they talk about classes. Or well Avery talks A lot about classes
And like at some point Avery sees a bit of complicated code on Derek’s computer but he just tries to hide it and Avery lets it go
Avery brings in flowers at some point as a gift. Ok well that’s not subtle but it’s Avery so like it’s ok.
And instead of sitting across from each other they start to sit next to each other right.
And when Avery complains that coding is getting harder Derek starts to subtly teach him how to do everything.
Like when Derek’s stuck on a question, he lets Avery explain it even tho it’s a hard topic for him. At some point it actually CLICKS for Avery and even he’s like “Oh wait I get it now” LOL
he actually gets really good at coding it’s actually wild.
And like they re both studing for a coding project and Avery manages to get an A. ON A CODING OROJECT
And like he celebrates and is like “holy shoot I managed to do this”
And Derek nods and is like “that you did.”
And Avery hugs Derek cause it’s been awhile since he got a good grade on a coding project.
And then his roomate lowk interrupts and is like, “Yo Avery, what’s up?”
And they turn to see Hastur bro.
And Hastur is like, “Derek? What are you doing here?”
And Avery is like, “I’m tutoring him bro.”
And like Derek turns away in embarassment.
And Hastur lets out a scoff and is like, “Yeah sure ok.”
And Avery is like, “Wdym????”
And the roommate is like, “Dude, he’s apart of the robotics club.”
And Avery turns towards Derlord with his brow raised
“YOU WERE THE 3X CHAMPION OF THE NATIONAL ROBOTICS COMPETITION.”
And like Avery searches it up and Derek is literally THE FIRST RESULT THAT POPS UP
And Avery is like, “Oh my god.”
And Derek really tries he’s like, “Noo that’s like a different Derek”
And so Avery taps on an image and it’s LITERALLY DEREK.
And poor Derek is like, “nah that’s photoshop-“
And like Avery is going through something cause bro the embarrassment of making mistakes around someone who does it for a living is genuinley wild. And like he thought HE was the one teaching.
It all clicks when like he realizes that Derek was the one tutoring HIM and not the other way around.
And like Avery is staring into space
And Hastur starts snickering but Derek glares at him.
And Derek is like, “Hey so… are you ok?”
And Avery just stands up right.
AND THEN HE JUST SPRINTS OUT OF THERE LMFAOAOOAOAOAOAO
And so he goes back to his room n stuff and slams the door and he lowk starts tweaking out. Like he screams into his pillow and everything
So then he’s like “bro I actually embarassed myself so bad there.”
And then his phone was ringing and texting from Derek n stuff and he’s like “are u ok? U left all ur stuff here but ur roomates bringing it back.”
And like the more that he’s thinking about it the more he feels a little hurt.
Like think about it Derek was a liar at some point Avery feels like the man was being pitiful.
And so after an hour of just doing nothing except mourning n stuff Hastur dropped his stuff off and is like, “Dude you ok?” And Avery just groans in annoyance.
And so the roommate is like, “Sorry man I didn’t mean to expose him like that. But honestly I was wondering where he goes after clubs.” Or smth
And Avery’s like, “Yeah, I really shouldn’t have left him there.”
So then he opens up his phone to see one message from Derek being like.
“I’m sorry Aves. Can we talk?”
And so Avery lets out a sigh and is like, “Ok.”
So like the next day Avery gets there at the cafe early and starts tweaking out and gets worried cause like what’s Derek gonna say. Like bros probably gonna leave him n stuff or smth
So then Derek says hi and Avery says hi and then they order n stuff and then it’s like hecka akward right
So then after a bit Derek sighs and is like “Avery, I-“
“I’m sorry for ditching you yesturday!”
Derek blinked, “It’s ok I understan-“
“No! I was a coward and-“
“I got really embarrased because I was trying to impress you-“
“And I feel like you were pitying me a bit because why would you help me anyways?”
Derek stared at the other in confusion, “I’m not pitying you.”
Avery crossed his arms, “Well it seems like it.”
And then it’s like silent n stuff
And then Derek is like, “Ok well that’s not the reason why I did all that. I did it cause I wanted to spend time with you.”
And Avery is like, “What?”
“I didn’t know how to interact with you but when I noticed you were tutoring I decided to take the chance.”
Avery was about to speak but then Derek put his hand on his mouth.
“As we got alone I started to like the way you re always confident. I adore your little mannerisms. The way you tap your foot when you’re frustrated. Or even giving me random things that remind you of me cause they’re my favorite color.”
Derek signs sits back and puts his hand away, “I guess when I think about it I just like you. In general.”
And then Avery’s jaw dropped.
Derek nods and is like, “Yeah.”
And like Avery breaks. Like he’s hecka flustered, “I don’t- I dunno what to say.”
And like Derek grabs his hand and started fiddling with the others fingers, “You don’t have to say anything it’s ok.”
And Avery’s like in his mid tweaking out like his crush literally just confessed to him like be so fr
And then like Avery’s like, “Yknow I have like, a massive crush on u”
And Derek laughs and he’s like, “Yeah, I know.”
And Avery groans and he’s like, “was it that obvious?”
“You stare at me a lot, what else was I supposed to think.”
And he slams his head on the table in embarassment. But after a bit of calming down he looks up and is like, “sooooo what are we?”
Derek shrugs and is like, “Whatever u want us to be.”
And Avery hums and thought and is like, “We’re partners.”
“Yeah, cause you’re my favorite person.”
And Derek’s eyes soften and he’s thinking about how sweet Avery is, “You’re my favorite person too, Aves.”
And then it’s silent but then Derek’s like, “Soooo… you still up for tutoring?” And Avery shoves him.
(Looking back at it it’s a rough concept but still cute all the same lol)
