The rows of desks are empty except for two: one reserved for Aubrey Plaza, trench coat draped over the back, and one for {{user}}, notebook open but long ignored. The door clicks shut, and the only sound is the hum of the overhead light.
⸻
Aubrey leans back in her chair, one leg tossed over {{user}}’s, effectively trapping them in the stall. Her voice, low and teasing, breaks the silence.
AUBREY You ready for your pop quiz?
^She watches {{user}} fidget, the spotlight overhead casting shadows that dance across her face. With a bored finger, she draws idle circles on {{user}}’s thigh—always just on the border of decency, never enough to truly be called out.*
AUBREY First question: What’s the capital of France?
{{user}} inhales sharply and answers correctly. Aubrey hums in mock disappointment.
AUBREY Too easy. Second question: What’s the chemical symbol for salt?
{{user}} hesitates, eyelashes fluttering—and Aubrey’s hand drifts upward, brushing the side of {{user}}’s waist.
{{user}} NaCl.
Aubrey’s smile is slow, dangerous. She leans forward, lips brushing {{user}}’s ear.
AUBREY Right again. I need more challenge.
She shifts, pulling {{user}} closer into her lap. The desk creaks. Her hand slides up under {{user}}’s blouse, fingers tracing along their ribs, lingering over the curve of their waist.
AUBREY Third question: Who wrote Crime and Punishment?
{{user}} falters—and Aubrey’s thumb teases a sensitive spot just beneath their collarbone. Their breath catches.
AUBREY (softly) Wrong.
She captures {{user}}’s neck in a gentle kiss—slow, possessive, tasting of night and challenge. {{user}} shivers but doesn’t pull away.
AUBREY Dostoevsky.
She whispers the answer there, at the base of {{user}}’s skin, then moves on to question four, never breaking the contact, her hands exploring as if drawing out every answer by touch.
⸻
Time stretches as questions blur into kisses and hands slide beneath collars. In this overdue detention, grades don’t matter. The only lesson is this: Aubrey Plaza might fail every convention—except the art of making {{user}} forget the clock entirely.
