NOTE: The ages of many of the Hetalia characters will be changed in this! I got this idea from a gakuen rp that my friend and I have recently started. Ludwig is a new teacher, (so, probably around 25 or 26) and Kiku is in his final year of high school at an international academy. Also, how I'm doing this is how high school was for me. Like, we had homeroom for the first 15 minutes, then 42 minute class periods with 3 minutes between each class. Of course, there was also a 45 minute lunch break or so. I don't remember the /exact/ times of stuff, like, I'm probably off by a few minutes on things, but, whatever P: There were also 9 periods a day, not counting lunch or homeroom.

And... before you ask, Ludwig teacher German language class :3 That seemed to fit, and, honestly, it was totally Emily(my friend)'s idea because, as she said, there would probably be several choices for language classes in this school since there are so many different nationalities. So, yeah. No arguing about that idea, I thought it was a good one :3 END NOTE!

I'm using rows of periods as separators since the dashes and such didn't show up Dx

...

It was the first real day of Ludwig's new teaching career. Sure, he had come in half way through the year, but at least it was a start. The students had returned just yesterday from their winter vacation in order to readjust to their rooms and take a day to relax from their trips back from home.

Looking at the building before him, he grinned. He was currently living on campus like the students and quite a few of the teachers (well, the single ones, anyway), and he had to be to the school by 7 to start work. He walked into the building alongside the one other adult that he knew (the History teacher, Yao) and made his way to his new classroom. He had already put all of his teaching supplies and such in the room yesterday.

Sitting at his desk, he finally felt like a true teacher. Looking around the room, he imagined what it would be like to have the students filing in and sitting at their desks. He loved the sensation of being in charge, of standing in front of a room full of people, helping them to learn more. These were some of the smartest kinds across the globe, and they were some of the most likely to become world leaders. To help somebody obtain a future like that was just... it was exciting.

Looking at the clock, he soon realized that he had already spent 50 minutes or so just imagining his first day. Quickly, he got things together for the first class of the day. He was giving each class a short test to figure out where they stood, exactly. He wanted to know how much each student knew in order to help them properly. He figured it made sense.

...

Kiku was a loner at this school. He had come here to /learn/, not to make friends, and that's how he viewed it. He didn't want to waste time with people when he could spend time studying, instead.

Arriving ten minutes early, like always, Kiku made his way to his locker. First period class was German, and it was the only one that he had ever struggled with. Each student was required to take at least /two/ language classes, and Kiku had chosen English (which he had begun to learn in middle school and through self teachings) and German. The choice of German was simply because he needed one that was more challenging. He had filled up all of his other class periods, aside from the one mandatory Study Hall, so he had only been able to take the two language classes. Of course, he didn't realize how much of a challenge he had when he chose German, and now he was wishing he had picked something easier, like Chinese or Korean.

Sighing, he placed the unnecessary books in his locker and replaced them with the proper ones for his German class. He knew they had a new teacher, and that alone scared him enough, but if he had heard right, the man was planning on giving them a test. Of course, Kiku had been studying for it over the entire vacation, so he shouldn't have been worried, but he was.

Walking into the room, he didn't even notice the new teacher already sitting at his desk. Kiku placed his books down on his own desk and immediately started to study again. He was highly aware that he was early and that other people wouldn't be entering the room for another 5 minutes, but this didn't matter to him. He got his favorite seat in the back corner of the classroom where he could be alone to study until the last possible second.

...

Ludwig was surprised to see somebody walk in so early. When he looked up, he adjusted his glasses a little. The student was short and thin, very clearly Asian, and he was actually rather confused to the gender for a moment. He studied the other's actions, movements, and had this student not been wearing the required uniform for a male, he could have sworn he was a woman.

The German found himself strangely attracted to the other's dark hair and eyes, his light step and quiet demeanor. He wanted to know what his name was. Clearing his throat, Ludwig managed to get the smaller male's attention. He smiled gently at the timid looking Asian, "Hallo."

...

Kiku had been studying rather hard, though he was soon distracted by the only other person in the room clearing his throat. Looking up to find where the noise had come from, he saw a large man in a suit. The Asian boy found himself blushing lightly upon hearing the German greeting accompanied by the deep voice.

This must have been the new teacher.

He replied with a quiet, "Konnichiwa..." and a little nod to the other male. Immediately, Kiku returned to studying. The light blush that tinted his cheeks was only causing him to feel embarrassed and he wanted to look away from him as quickly as possible.

Luckily for him, before the other could say anything, people started filing into the room. Kiku breathed a sigh of relief as he began to read through his notes and the book again.

...

Ludwig let the morning announcements finish before talking attendance. As he went through the list, he hardly bothered to commit the students names to memory at the moment. He knew that would take some time even though the class wasn't very big. However, he kept his eyes on the boy in the back, still studying quietly.

"Kiku Honda." He called, waiting for the proper student to respond. When the small Asian male looked up and gave a quiet "Here." Ludwig took special care to remember his name. This was one student that he didn't want to forget.

As the period progressed, each student was given the written part of their exam. They had the entire period to finish their essays and questions, and, surprisingly, everyone did. With the last few moments of class, Ludwig gave them a warning.

"Remember that tomorrow is the speaking part of your test! I will be asking you to not only read lines from selected passages, but also to have a short conversation with me in German." As the bell rang, he dismissed the class.

Again, his eyes focused on the one student who stayed behind, waiting for the rest of the crowd to leave. When everyone finally left, the Asian, surprisingly, made his way over to Ludwig's desk.

"S-Sensei? Er... I mean... Mr. Weillschmidt?" He spoke hesitantly, clearly nervous about speaking to him. The smaller male even kept his eyes diverted, looking down at his books rather than at his teacher. For some reason, this bothered him a little, though, he wouldn't tell the other this.

"Ja, Kiku?" He asked, pushing the papers aside just a bit so that he could lean on his desk a bit, getting closer to the Asian.

"Sumimasen, but... I am not very good at the speaking part of this class..." His voice was soft, though heavily accented. If it hadn't been clear before, it was clear now that he was Japanese. Luckily, his accent wasn't heavy enough to make him not understandable. The boy paused here as though trying to figure out how to say the next part. Ludwig gave him a moment to recompose himself and soon, Kiku continued. "I was wondering if, perhaps, you wouldn't mind... helping me a little after school today. I realize that this is sudden and you're probably busy, however, it would help me quite a great deal." The German watched as the student closed his eyes and gave a quiet sigh.

"Hmm... after school? I'm not busy. If you're serious about this, meet me here by quarter after 3. I won't wait for you any longer than that. Now, you should be going to class, ja?"

With this, the student seemed to cheer up, almost as though he hadn't been expecting that. Giving a rushed thank you in Japanese, Kiku bowed and quickly left the room in order to make it to his next class on time.

Ludwig couldn't help but watch as the smaller male rushed out of the classroom, and though he tried not to let it, his mind wandered to places that it should never have wandered to.
