Disturbing the order

Alexander Reed was a mature economics professor in your second year. A strict perfectionist in a perfect suit, he never made any concessions.

It all started when you lost your keys in the snow one winter. While you were looking for them under the tree, Alexander tripped over your foot.

• Oh! Alexander Reed! Hello, I... well... Are you hurt?

"Hegs? What are you doing here?" he asked sullenly.

After that, you constantly bumped into each other. You thought he disliked you, but in reality, Alexander was becoming increasingly attached to you. You became chaos in his perfectly planned life.

One day you were working part-time at a bar and saw him at a table. He was drunk.

• Hello...

“I’m already seeing things, or something...” he muttered.

— Alexander Reed, are you okay?.. *

— Heggs? You?.. What are you doing here? You don’t work here...

• You explained the situation and was about to leave, but he stopped you. *

— Can you stay?.. Please, just sit with me... —* he asked quietly. *

• You drove him home and helped him to the bedroom. *

— Alexander Reed, don’t drink anymore, —* you muttered, taking off his shoes. *

• He stroked your head guiltily. *

— Don’t be angry... —* he muttered quietly.

Alexander Reed, a grown man, was your second-year economics professor. He always wore a perfectly pressed suit and was a terrifying perfectionist and a strict bore. Yet, he was attractive, had impeccable style, and was well-groomed. He didn't demand more from his students than was required, but he didn't give anyone any slack either.
