Will felt a warmness spread through his body. He looked at his students on stage singing their hearts out. Granted it was only rehearsal, but they were really doing a great job.

He was especially impressed with Finn. The young man had one of the best voices he had heard in a long time, coming from someone his age.

Just as Finn started singing his solo; the jock locked eyes with Will.

Will felt the breath get knocked out of him. For a second he could’ve sworn, he saw a spark of desire and … love in those eyes. It sent a chill down his spine, ending down at his toes. But that’s impossible because Finn had Quinn and an interested Rachel. Why would he want his married Spanish teacher?

He always knew Finn looked at him with a bit of admiration in his eyes, yet the look he got just now was on a completely different level. Will had felt the weight of Finn’s gaze on him for a while now, but he attributed it to nothing more than the young man being fond of him as his favorite teacher.

It had to be that and the lights were simply playing tricks with his eyes. Yet, he started to sense his own feelings changing.

Will isn’t certain when the change happened but it’s definitely different. Now, that he thought about it; he found himself thinking of Finn a lot more these days.

What he’s doing at that specific time? Is everything going okay with him? What’s he thinking when he stares at Will?

Then it hit him; he had a crush on his student. Will’s eyes took on a dazed look. How could he have let himself fall for one his students and a male one at that?

He shook his head and looked up to see his students still singing and Finn’s eyes set determinedly on him. Their eyes locked once again, and it’s the most intense staring contest ever.

Finn’s the one who looked away because the song has ended. Will gathered his jumbled nerves enough to clap for his students and tell them they did a great job. He ended rehearsal with a head full of chaotic thoughts.

As they are all leaving, Will loosened his tie and plopped down in one of the seats, covering his face with his hands.

“Hey, Mr. Schuester, are you okay?”

Will looked up into expressive brown eyes, furrowed in concern. He sat back a little and had to tilt his head back to look at the very tall teen. He forces a smile.

“I’m fine, Finn. Just a little tired.” He licked his lips at the lie he just told. Right on cue, Finn’s eyes dropped to his mouth and followed the movement of his tongue.

Will felt like the rug has been pulled from underneath him because he couldn’t have seen what he thought he saw. He shakily took a breath and repeated the “I’m fine.”

Finn’s head snapped back up and a blush creeped along his cheeks. He tried to tear his eyes away from the blue eyes focused on his own, but he can’t, not when Mr. Schuester is looking at him like that, like he just saw a miracle that’s beyond explanations.

Will felt his heart beat pound in his chest. Could it be… that maybe he wasn’t the only one?

He stood up in front of the teen and looked at him with a small bit of hope and disbelief in his bright blue eyes. “Finn?”

The tension in the auditorium was so thick. They were mere inches from each other. It took all Finn’s willpower not to reach out and run his hands along the body in front of him.

They leaned into each other’s spaces, chests brushing against each other lightly.

“Mr. Schuester,” he whispers.

Will jumped back immediately, a look of shock on his face, Finn’s whisper reminding him of his status, of Finn’s status.

“Oh, God, Finn, I’m so sorry,” he grabbed his stuff and practically ran out of the auditorium.

The jock stood there in the aisle, gazing at the diminishing figure that is Will Schuester.

He chewed on his lip, at least he knew he wasn’t the only one.
