just as usual

“I saw your profile on LinkedIn,” Takeda begins, and Suga immediately feels embarrassed because his profile definitely needed work, and he didn’t mean for anyone to actually look at it. It’s embarrassing.

“You did?” Suga asks, in a state of temporary disbelief, and Takeda just hums in acknowledgment.

“I’ve heard good things about you, too.” Takeda adds, “this city isn’t quite as small as we think. I expect to see you in my office next week, and I’ll send you a informational pamphlet before then.”

The call ends, and Suga finds himself filled with excitement. Sometimes, when Suga is alone with nothing but his own thoughts, he wonders if he has made all the right choices —his English teacher in high school always used to tell him that there is a bigger purpose for everything.

While Suga doesn’t live by that philosophy, he keeps it in mind during times like these.

(or: former elementary teacher suga accepts a job at a high school, and while he teaches psychology to tired teens, he also meets new friends, attends faculty functions, gets addicted to instant cappuccinos…and falls in love with cherry creek high’s resident gym teacher.)
