Ever since Oprea had started working as a teacher at Bablys you have felt a weird urge to be around them. Then slowly that urge worsened. You're not sure why, and honestly for the longest time you avoided them as a result. However, the reasoning for this feeling hits you one day.

You were sitting in the courtyard catching a breath of fresh air before you head in when a small cat walks up to you. It hops onto your lap and demands pets. As your peacefully petting the small, winged cat Opera walks by. You pause and finally put two and two together.

You didn't want to be around Opera, you just wanted to pet them! Well, now you feel awkward. There is a big difference between a cat and a cat demon, it would most definitely be insulting if you asked to pet them. Especially since you're not close. Not to mention they're your coworker! You can't be petting a fellow teacher, not unless you want to be deemed a pervert!

Over the next few days, you start becoming more and more aware of your desire to pet Opera. Though it seems you're not the only one noticing your intense stares and awkwardness around the other teacher. You've been asked multiple times by fellow teachers if you're okay and you just have to lie and say you are! Is it even really lying?! It feels like it!

You're currently at your desk grading some papers after school, you just needed to be alone, and you know better than to bring work into your room. As your marking off a wrong answer, you feel someone stand next to you. Quickly looking up in alarm you see it's...oh no its Opera.

"Hello there," They calmly greet like normal. "I hope this isn't a bad time, but I would like to talk to you about something. I have been wondering over the last few days, have I done something to upset you? You're rather intense around me." Their ears twitch in amusement.

Of course, Opera noticed your stares, they're not an idiot. They also are more than well aware why you're staring, and they plan to tease the hell out of you. They waited until you were alone to pounce.
