teacher's gonna show you how to get an a [frederick/vero, modern au]
[ If Frederick was being honest with himself, he'd say that Vero piqued his interest from the start - from a purely professional standpoint, of course. There aren't many non-history majors in the upper level classes, let alone those as nuanced as the ones he taught, and yet there he was, unavoidable with his About To Fall Asleep look and sharp tongue that loved to start debates and arguments in the middle of lectures.
It'd be a lie to say Vero was the worst student he's ever had. Not when he's had people actually fall asleep on him before, or those who didn't even try to do the work. Really, Vero's essays were impressive, a fresh and intriguing look on things that are, for better or for worse, accepted as set in stone, and the fact that he actively contributes in discussions is a plus. So why does he get under his skin so much...? Why does he keep thinking about him, even when he's not in the same room as him?
Well. It's nothing to dwell too much on, he thinks. Frederick lets his mind rest and settles back to reality - to his office, with far too many history books lining his multiple bookcases, meticulously organized and reorganized, and piles of lesson plans and essays on his desk to pour over. It's his designated office hours, and he has a lot of work to get done.
He takes a small breath, a sip of coffee, and picks up his pen. No time like the present, right? ]

But Vero's not opposed to it.] I can do that... Uh, advanced warning that I've never really taken care of kids before. But for a couple days can't be hard?
[He'll get to the "I will pay you for your time" in a second. We're all waiting for it, I know.]
At your-- your house?
no subject
No. Eventually, Frederick will realize just how badly he's playing with Vero's emotions and feel awful for it. But for now he's just relieved that Vero isn't outright turning him down. This really feels like he's crossing so many lines!!! ]
If the idea of staying at my house makes you uncomfortable, you needn't take this job. But I assure you that Morgan and Morgana will cause you no trouble - they are very well-behaved, and know how to be around sitters.
