Once the school bell rang to release the class, Alaric found himself feeling slightly nervous. He picked up his papers, and his books. He packed his case and locked the classroom door on his way out. He made it to his car just fine, got it, and started it up to drive home. But the only thing on the teacher's mind was the promise he'd made to Johnny last year.
One kiss. On his birthday. Because the young man had a thing for Alaric. He was legal now, 18. He could make his own choices. Alaric wasn't forcing anything on him, and it wasn't like they were together. Alaric was sure there was no law being broken, but other people might think of him as a little strange if it ever got it. And that was why he didn't talk about it. To protect Johnny and himself from ridicule. It was bad enough when anyone wasn't very nice to Johnny, and Alaric made sure to pull those children aside and give them as much of a punishment as he could. There was no tolerance for bullying in his classroom.
As he pulled into his driveway, Alaric parked the car, got out, and went to unlock the door. He knew Johnny would be here any minute. He went inside, threw his bag to the side, and untucked his white button down shirt. His red tie hung loosely around his neck as he poured himself a hard drink. Just one, to calm his nerves.
And now, he waited.
