Chapter Text
“…Finally I'm done,” Ludger breathed out a sigh of relief,glancing at the stack of papers he had organized.
As the head of the planning department he had a lot of responsibilities,whether it be signing agreements, negotiating or hosting events overall it was a hefty amount of work.
Sluggishly,he rested his head down on his desk to soothe his headache,who knew being a teacher would require this much work? Even being a mercenary was easier than this,he really needed to fix up his sleep schedule.
Not that he regretted it though,at Soren he's met so many amazing people even being reunited with familiar people,he doesn't think he can run away easily this time.
A rare smile graced his lips at the thought,another yawn being drawn out of him.
Around the edges of his eyes his vision slowly dimmed, the good thoughts swirling in his mind slowly lulling him to sleep.
He did well today.
☆
*knocking*
“Professor Ludger, hello~ are you there?”
The unknown person knocked on the door a few more times before exclaiming,”Alright then I'm coming in!”
She opened the door expecting her favorite teacher to be in a bad mood resulting in him ignoring his lovely principal,but instead she was met with a hunched figure sleeping soundly on the desk.
“Professor Ludge–,oh,”
She walked up to the sleeping man, pinching him to make sure he was really asleep and not just ignoring her before taking a step back,focusing on his serene face.
Even though his appearance was slightly disheveled from sleeping on a messy office desk he still managed to look elegant,strands of dark hair sprawled around his face framing it perfectly along with his lengthy eyelashes (why couldn’t she have those?)brushing against his cheek.
Not to mention his soft,pink lips,letting out little gasps of air every time he exhales.
‘Huh,’
Elisa pondered.
‘He's kinda cute when his isn't letting out cunning comments from his infuriating mouth,’
Plus, watching him was strangely calming, benefitting the tranquil mood in the room.
‘Maybe I'll just stay here for a little longer…’
☆
“U-hu,huh…”
Ludger let out a yawn,rubbing his eyes to clear up his vision.
‘Did I really fall asleep in my office?’
Thank god he doesn't have a lesson first period today.
His train of good thoughts were crushed when he remembered that he was the head of the planning department.
Aside from his regular professor duties, he still had a sizable amount of work to complete.
He hesitantly picked up a stray piece of paper to see his schedule for today.
Writing the end of year test questions,buying resources for the lab,meeting with the teachers,yada yada yada-
He slumped back down onto his desk at the idea of work, his lips curling to form a light sneer.
…
…
…
“Grumbling about work? And here I thought you were a workaholic~”
A soft voice wafted through the formerly quiet room, their warm breath grazing his ears.
"Who would be confident to barge into his office at this time?”
It took him a few moments to realize who it was.
“President Elisa?”
He shot up like he got struck by lighting, hastily smoothing out the wrinkles of his crumpled clothing, his guarded demeanor returning in an instant.
He immediately stood up and straightened his clothes,raising his guard up.
“Heh,what's the rush? I thought we were close,besides, you looked quite cute like that~”She responded with a teasing tone.
His ears were dusted with a slight pink after hearing those words,but he brushed it off, retaining his composure.
“…”
However, the ever perceptive Elisa managed to notice it.
“Hoho,you're really acting differently today, aren't you?”She strided around the table, her amber eyes narrowing like a deceptive snake as she leered at Ludger .
“Am I now?” He questioned her back with the same energy, the president's enigmatic nature was something worth noting, a singular moment of vulnerability could prove to be fatal later on.
At this moment, it was almost impossible to gauge what she was thinking at this moment.
Elisa just smirked,continuing.
“You know, you're such a hard worker aren't you,I should reward you well,” She mused, walking around his office before settling next to him on a chair leaning into his ear.
“Maybe with something you've never experienced before~”
Shocked,he pushed himself away from her,face blooming with red.
‘ Was that a threat or her flirting?’
Never once in his life has he ever had such obscene thoughts.
“Haha! Just kidding~ What's with that reaction Professor Ludger,”
As expected, the president’s power is formidable, to be able to say something like that without a single flinch,
His face heated up further thinking about the implications, Ludger had experienced many things in life and was well-versed in many things, romance wasn't one of those things .
Collecting his thoughts,Ludger exhaled out an irritated breath trying to cool his face down before turning to glare at Elisa.
“Don't joke like that again President,it's not…professional.”He berated her.
“Huh,so now you care about being professional after falling asleep in your office,” She retorted amusedly.
“I apologize,speaking of that…how long were you watching me?”
Elisa stroked her chin replying, ”Hmm,you know just a little bit before you woke up,”
Shit.
“Okay, would you kindly exit my office now,I’m sure both you and I have work to do.”
“Wow~ right back to the stoic and serious professor Ludger in a flash,anywho, I was going to get going anyways,” She answered with a sly voice, making her way to the exit of the room.
“I’ll see you at the meeting later Professor Ludger!” Her lively voice fading as she went further away.
After quadruple checking that she was gone, Ludger grabbed the nearest pliable object and screamed into it.
Never again.
