Summary:

Besides knocking and catching each other’s glances across the room, Janine and Gregory have found another way of communicating: sticking post-it notes on each other(’s desks).

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

📝📝📝

J: One of the things I appreciate most about your schedules and planning is that it reminds me to eat and drink regularly.

G: I’m glad. But please never watch Jeopardy and work out simultaneously.

J: You know me well. I would bruise both of my ankles and forget everything I’ve learned as soon as the program’s over.

📝📝📝

G: A student is forcing me to do TikTok dances with him. Send help.

J: The trick is to pretend you’re dancing around your kitchen on a Friday evening in your pajamas while making hot chocolate.

G: Oddly specific. Never done that.

J: What are you doing this Friday?

G: Blessing you with my dance moves.

J: I’ll buy some 96% cacao chocolate.

📝📝📝

J: I like your face. You have a nice face.

G: You left a post-it at my desk last night after our staff party.

J: Oh no. I had two beers, I was so drunk. I don’t remember. What does it say?

G: You dared me to a thumb-wrestling match. The loser has to spend the rest of the day walking around with toilet paper sticking out of their pants.

J: You can clearly tell I’ve been hanging out with kids too much.

G: Kidding. You wrote something else.

J: WHAT?

G: How about we thumb-wrestle and if you win, I’ll tell you.

J: Deal.

📝📝📝

G: I know what you did.

J: Please don’t tell Barbara.

G: Only if you admit it.

J: … I secretly put flowers on her desk, without a note. And it’s Mother’s Day.

G: You’re lucky you’re cute.

📝📝📝

J: We have a problem.

G: What is it? I’ll help.

J: Having a harder time than usual getting up in the morning because of the weighted blanket you gave me.

G: You’re welcome.

📝📝📝

J: Thank you for introducing me to your old Sims characters last night.

G: You’re welcome. The game really helped me. It felt like I could safely navigate through life without losing control.

J: Yes, I completely get that. It’s nice.

📝📝📝

G: You look cute when you sleep.

J: Thanks so much for sticking a note to my forehead when I fell asleep instead of waking me up.

📝📝📝

G: My student created a drawing of us. Make sure to look at the size of the hands she gave me.

J: Your hands look GIGANTIC. Just like the belt she put around my waist, covering my whole body.
P.S. Nothing wrong with your hands, they’re perfect for helping me down a ladder. And other things.

G: I taped it to the wall between our classrooms.

📝📝📝

G: Mr. Johnson just knocked our knock before entering my classroom. You think he knows?

J: What? That we’re using his special stain remover to clean our classroom rugs?

G: I was talking about us making out in his supply closet, but sure, I guess that too.

📝📝📝

G: I can’t concentrate on chewing my food correctly when you look at me like that during lunch.

J: Well, you should concentrate on me instead.

G: Come over tonight.

Notes:

hi. i’m in love with them. especially when they’re flirting. i can't wait for their first canon post-it convo. i put some headcanons in here, i can really see gregory playing sims when he was younger, for example. safely exploring relationships, hobbies, different phases of growing up, grounding him whenever he felt like he lost control in his real life.
