You flinch because of him

Character: Balam

💛- read as platonic

A/N- I haven’t wrote in years so I’m rusty :/ but bad fanfiction is still fanfiction 👍

*Reader is a student

- You heard rumors about teacher Balam. How he takes students to do experiments on, his weird obsession with studying creatures

- Often times when you saw him in the halls, you would walk the other way. Despite your friend Iruma telling you how great of a demon he is, you couldn't help but be cautious

- The first time you met Balam was with Iruma. He wanted to show you the picture books Balam made to help with studying

- He reassured you the whole way there that everything would be fine. But once you got there he remembered a few books he needed to return

- Iruma left… leaving you and Balam… alone

- Great, stuck with the teacher rumoured to experiment on students. Thanks Iruma!

- Balam felt the unease coming off of you in waves and decided to start some Hell Grey tea

- He reached for the tea packets beside your head, Balam must have moved a little too quickly because with a small gasp you flinched away

- “Oh..." He mumbles, quickly realising the reason you haven't said anything was not because you were shy but because you were scared of him.

- “I’m sorry. You must have heard some things about me.”

- He moves slower this time, making the tea. Balam dosn't say much, mostly in thought of how to seem less intimidating.

- His hand knocks a cup off the desk with purpose. "Ah, I'm so clumsy sometimes. Mind passing the broom?”

- It was a small bridge. His looks may be intimidating but with actions perhaps he can soften your opinion on him

You fall asleep on him

Character: Balam

💛❤️- read as romantic or platonic

- It was around 8 when you finished everything up in the classroom and were about to leave the school when Balam asked for your help

- He wanted someone to look over a few of his new picture books before handing them to Iruma

- Sure you were tired but how could you say no?

- Once you both entered his classroom he quickly made some tea for the two of you and layed out 3 different books

- He sat you in his lap despite your protests and began reading to you

- The comfy seating combined with the nice tea and story reading ended up putting you to sleep in a matter of minutes

- It was too comfy and your were already exhausted before hand so of course you wouldn't last very long

- Balam didn't notice until he was half way through the last book when you didn't respond to his question

- He says your name again and when he heard your soft, even breathe he quieted

- Slowly and carefully he folded up the book and took the half empty glass of tea from your lap, placing both down on the coffee table

- He doesn't mind that you fell asleep, he saw how tired you were when you were yawning all the way to his room

- If anything, he's happy you're comfortable enough to fall asleep on him

- For the next hour he busies himself with writing down more ideas for picture books, glancing down at you every now and then

- When you wake after an hour you feel bad for fall asleep on him when you were supposed to help him

- Balam reassures you it's alright and he didn't mind

- You both went home shortly after and the books were looked over in the morning when you had fully rested

- Balam still thinks about your peaceful sleeping face sometimes and secretly hopes it might happen again
