Teacher AU: I think you said something about California helping Texas get a Civil Engineering degree, which has made this plot bunny in my head.
Cal helps Texas right up until Texas' final exams, they are friendly, they fight and argue but in that way friends do. But as soon as the final exam is finished California goes cold on Texas, doesn't talk, even to fight, no more arguing, completely ignores Texas.
Texas has no idea what's going on but when the results come out he has to tell California he passed to which California mutters "good riddance"
This get Texas mad and after some pushing and shoving, California collapses on Texas's shoulder to cry that now Texas has his degree he'll be leaving just like everyone else in California's life.
Let me justâŚâŚâŚsteal this
Texas would start late at the community college and begin during spring semester. That means he would get done with his Associateâs Degree around the fall semester of the third year in this AU. After that, Texasâs plan for the next two years is to go back to school full time at a state college an hour away to get his Bachelorâs Degree.
It finally sets in to California about a month from the end of the semester that this whole thing they have is ending soon. Heâs most likely never going to see Texas again because heâs leaving the school district for good after this year. For the rest of their tutoring sessions, thereâs just this voice in his head going, âDonât get used to this it wonât last you canât have this you canât keep himâ. Texas would notice him acting off, but heâd just assume California was having a normal type of bad day and that would be that.
