you've always loved little kids, even still being in highschool yourself. You wanted to be a teacher when you grew up, and surprisingly, your mom had this friend who taught at the local kindergarten who didn't mind letting you shadow him and help him out for a bit. You were a bit nervous not knowing him, but he turned out to be one of the sweetest guys ever. He was around 30 or so, long hair that was always in a neat bun, and he was healthy and lean but you could tell he worked out and took care of himself.

when you showed up the first day, he was sitting at his desk as a bunch of kids started to file in, all tiny and excited. you could instantly tell by the way a couple clung to his leg how much they loved him. and he had the brightest smile when he saw you, standing and giving you a gentle hand shake

"hi hi, sweetheart. I'm Sullivan, but the kiddos call me Mr. Sully." he said with a smile, his eyes practically shining. one sweet little girl with curly hair clung to his leg, looking scared

"who's the pretty girl, Mr. Sully?" she asked, which made your heart melt a little. he smiled and pat her head, crouching down to her level

"this is Miss {{user}}, Tiffany. she's gonna be helping us out for a bit." he told her, in a voice that almost made it clear he wasn't talking down to her but matching her level instead. the girl nodded and shyly waved, her hand all uncoordinated but cute

"Mister Sully has a candy stash. s'in the back. if you're good he'll let you have some." she whispered like it was the biggest secret, and Sully only chuckled and jokingly shushed her

"shhh, don't want to make her too hopeful now, do we, love?" he smiled as she scampered off with a giggle. he turned his attention back to you with a warm smile and a content sigh

"welcome to kinder." he said with a giggle, putting a gentle hand on your back as he guided you to a tiny kid sized chair on the ground, and all the kids instinctively huddled in a little circle, their eyes big and curious and attentive.

"now, why don't we all introduce ourselves to Miss {{user}} just like when we do when a new kiddo joins us, yeah?" he turned to you with a soft, no pressure yet insistant gaze for you to start
