Hey guys, so I had a dream a few months ago about Lucifer being a school teacher, and then this fic (that was meant to be a one shot) happened over the following months, and I finally finished it today (yay!) it has nine chapters that I'll be posting over the next few weeks. Hope you all like it, much love xox

It was Lu's first day. He had just transferred from another state, he needed a fresh start in a place where no one had known him from birth and where his exes didn't all go out for drinks together and talk about him, then decide to egg his car.

Yeah, he needed to get away from all that, so he moved a few states away to Lawrence, Kansas. It was a quiet town full of nice people willing to give a newcomer directions when he couldn't find his new street. It took Lu a couple of weeks to figure out where everything was and find his way around without getting lost.

Monday morning came around fast and Lu was looking up at the big green doors of Lawrence's High School, where he was about to start his first day as a teacher there. Students were just beginning to turn up, either in cars or by
foot, some by bike or skateboard. All still pleasantly buzzed from the summer holidays and chatting to their friends excitedly.

Lu pushed open the heavy door, messenger bag slung over his shoulder and peered into the almost empty hallway lined with lockers. He had been passed the school a few times but he hadn't been inside it till now, and truthfully he was kind of nervous. Lu didn't know how substitute teachers went to different schools and faced people they didn't know all the time. This was Lu's second school in his six years of teaching and he found it daunting not to know the other teachers, never mind the students he would be teaching.

After five minutes of searching and reading the school map, Lu found the teacher's staff room, he knocked on the open door and three heads turned towards him.

"Uh, hi, I'm Lu Pellegrino, the new Math teacher…" Lu introduced himself, trying to sound more confident than he felt.

Two of the teachers, both women, stood from their seat on the couch to greet Lu "Hey, hun, Jody Mills; English." The first woman, a brunette, held out her hand and Lu shook it, she had a solid, firm handshake like she had grown up
with a few rowdy brothers and knew how to handle herself.

The second woman was a couple of years younger than Lu (he turned thirty just two months ago) with fiery red hair and a big smile "Hi! Charlie Bradbury, Computers and Art are my domain. You need help getting set up on the school's system just come to me."

"Thank you, Charlie." Lu smiled back at her and felt the knot in his stomach loosen a little.

The last teacher in the staff room approached him then. A tall blonde man, he was slender with a little muscle, as if he spent a lot of his spare time outside, and tan to match.

"Enchanté, Monsieur Pellegrino. Balthazar Roche, I teach French."

Enchanted was one word, Lu was definitely enchanted by Balthazar. French was another, that accent and that voice…he refused to finish that thought, he was not going to fall for the forty something French teacher at his new school.

Lu realised he had been quiet for a bit too long, his eyes staring into blue ones "Nice to meet you, all three of you." Out of the corner of his eye he saw Jody and Charlie smile knowingly at each other. Lu wanted to face palm himself.

"Would someone mind pointing me in the direction of the Math room, I should probably get set up before class starts." Lu asked, trying to stay professional.

"Of course, I'll walk you there, I'm heading that way anyway." Balthazar offered.

Lu swallowed and Jody handed him his schedule, while Charlie handed him his computer passwords. With a wink from Jody, Lu and Balthazar were off down the hall that was now filling up with students. A few students looked at Mr Roche with dreamy eyes as they passed, some stared at Lu curiously and whispered with their friends.

Lu already felt like he was being judged, it really was the first day of school all over again.

Balthazar came to a stop outside a closed door, he pushed down the handle and opened the door. The classroom looked like any other Lu had seen; big windows on the far side, desk at the front of the room, black board behind and rows of seats and tables in front.

"If you need anything Lu, I'm just two doors down on the other side. Good luck, love."

"Thank you." As soon as Balthazar was gone, Lu went for his desk, he needed to sit and take some deep breaths. It was ridiculous, he had only just met Balthazar and Lu was already weak at the knees.

Lu unpacked his bag then looked at the schedule Jody had handed him, first up was a senior class. That could be really good or really bad for his first class. The bell rang then and he realised he was about to find out.

The lunch bell rang and his class of freshmen scurried out. Lu had seen a variety of students this morning, from the cool kid Dean Winchester, who had his eyes focused more on the shy but intelligent Castiel Novak than he did the board, to the punk in the corner; Meg Masters (who saw one of Lu's tattoos when he was scratching his arm). There was also blonde but not bimbo Jo Harvelle as well as Sam Winchester (Dean's younger brother) who was very keen to learn.

Lu made it to the staff room through the throngs of students. He sat down at the table and pulled out his lunch (chicken, lettuce and mayo sandwich). Jody sat down opposite him and smiled "So…how's it going?"

"Uh, not too bad I think, I haven't had anyone try to glue me to the seat or throw things at me yet...so it could be worse." Lu told her, he felt a bit less nervous than this morning.

"Seems like you're hitting it off on your first day then..." She started, opening her foil covered wrap "You even had old Balthy showing off this morning." Lu blushed.

"I'm sure it was nothing special, I'm sure he's like that with all the new staff." He tried to wave it off but Jody was having none of it.

"Come on Lu, it was obvious you were taken by him, and I mean yeah, Balthy flirts with everyone, but I heard through the grapevine that he called you love."

"Jeez, news travels fast in this place...I didn't even know it was news." He started on the second half of his sandwich.

"You have no idea, anyway, I think you're going to fit in well around here-" She was cut off by a short pudgy man holding a half-eaten candy bar.

"Ah, the new guy! You must be Lu, I'm Gabriel Novak, Social Studies and Ancient History teacher. Also resident trickster." Gabriel grins at the last part.

Novak? Lu wondered if he was related to Castiel Novak that was in his class earlier. "Good to meet you." Was what he said instead.

"Well, I might go for a bit of a wander around, familiarise myself with the school a bit more." Lu screwed up the plastic his sandwich was in and threw it in the bin "See you both tomorrow I guess."

They waved him goodbye then the gossip began "Cas told me he is nice and down to earth and has tattoos, Balthy loves tattoos." Gabriel mentioned.

"He always says he isn't ready for another relationship after Raphael though, maybe if they get to know each other better then things might just happen." Jody suggested, they were like a family all the staff at this school and they all looked out for each other.

"I have an idea!"

"Do I even want to know?"

"Hey, all I was going to suggest was a little welcome party for Lu, have alcohol and the staff and get them talking."

"You know Gabriel, sometimes I actually half believe you are a genius."

Lu went home exhausted that night, being the first day and nervous and he didn't sleep well the previous night. He got out a frozen dinner, put it in the microwave and grabbed a beer, a much needed beer.

He was tired but he really wanted to talk about today with someone, so he called his best friend back home; Michael.

"Lu! How was your first day?" Was Michael's greeting.

"It's good to hear your voice man, ugh, wow, it was a first day alright..." Lu told his best friend about his nerves and the students and the staff he'd met.

Michael listened to all of it and commented in the right places and when Lu was mostly finished he smirked "That wasn't all you called to talk about was it? You met someone didn't you? Come on, tell me... "

Lu blushed for the second time that day "Uh, not really, well sort of. God, Mike, his accent. He spoke French to me, and called me love." Lu froze in horror "Shit, I sound like a love sick teenager." Lu could hear Michael laughing on the other end of the phone "It's not funny Mikey, I only met Balthazar today and I'm already gushing over him."

"Oh, Balthazar?" Michael teased.

"Shut up, I don't even know why I called you."

"To gush about your new crush."

Lu laughed then groaned "Am I pathetic?"

"No Lu, listen, just get to know him better, see if you two are compatible and if you are then go for it." Michael advised him.

"Yeah, you're right, I just need to go slow and take it one day at a time, I have other things to worry about. Anyway, I need to shower and hit the sack. I'll talk to you again soon, say hi to Adam for me."

"Alright, Lu, take care, I'm always here. Talk soon. Bye." The call ended leaving only static silence in Lu's ear.

He cleared off the table and went off to his bathroom to shower. As the water beat down on his back, Lu thought about today, specifically about Balthazar Roche and the things he wanted to hear him say in that sinful voice. Before he knew it, Lu had started touching himself, which ended with a pleased moan and a rinse of the shower wall.

Finally, Lu fell into bed and wrapped the covers around him. He didn't have time to think about feeling guilty over rubbing one out over a colleague he'd only known for a day, because he fell asleep almost instantly, dreaming of school, except the classrooms were outside and everyone spoke French.
