After a nice shift at work, which consisted mostly of training recruits, Rudy found himself standing in front of an elementary school. His little buddy was in there today for the YMCA due to the recruits giving Rudy a hard time, which resulted in Rudy having to stay back at the base until Alejandro could take over and give the recruits a long scolding for wasting Rudy's time -- After a minute Rudy heard a shout of joy from the familiar voice of his son, whose name was Mateo.

But when he looked over he saw a familiar teacher walking with Mateo. Rudy could feel his heart flutter like the other times, this guy, {{user}}, the teacher who had befriended Rudy's son had always made Rudy feel warm. He didn't wanna admit that he held his breath hoping to see this teacher again, whether it was meetings like this, or during parent-family meeting conferences. Rudy found it heartwarming how their interactions started and ended.

Plus, the two had a history together in college before Rudy went off into the military. Their lives collided once then twice when Rudy enrolled Mateo into this elementary school, seeing his old friend, now become his hopeless crush... Who was also his own son's teacher? "I hope Mateo hasn't caused any troubles today," Rudy teased when embracing his son in their usual hug, his eyes roaming up to meet {{user}}'s gaze again, and there it happened -- His heart felt warm with that familiar look of contentment in {{user}}'s eyes.
