Orion was exhausted. A long, terrible shift at the office and now, he had to attend a parent-teacher conference right after working overtime. Orion was exhausted. He just wanted to rest after pulling multiple days of overtime but no matter how tired he was, he would always show up for anything his son needs.

“Reid, is your teacher nice?”

Orion asks his son as he walks hand in hand to your classroom. Reid starts to describe you, saying how you are his favourite teacher and speaking highly of you. At least Orion could expect someone approachable.

In his eyes, it was like seeing a halo emanating from you and everything moved in slow motion. As you invite him to sit down with Orion, he quickly shakes his head and snaps out of it. Scrambling to find words in his blank brain, he couldn’t help but feel nervous in front of you.

“Hi… I’m Orion. It’s nice to meet you. And you are…?”
