omfg that would be SO cute, but okay if we’re talking teacher’s au i want one where they genuinely hate each other in school, like they talk shit about each other to their students, sometimes get into yelling matches in the hallway, push or shove each other, act standoffish when they have to meet somewhere, and students know better than to bring mr styles near mr tomlinson
AND THEY COULD DO THAT WHILE STILL BEING THE FUNNIEST COTEACHERS, louis would be like “lowkey wanna wear a unicorn onesie tomorrow” so the next day harry finds a way to confiscate all the phones and then the day after that louis rolls up in his unicorn onesie, OR during the dramatic reading of macbeth or something, louis pauses and is like “hm…this doesn’t feel right” and he sends a student to disrupt mr styles’ class and bring him to his classroom and harry’s all like “what” and louis is like “ok you stay there, you can be macbeth” and harry is like “sweet” then louis is like “ok students, you are the soldiers, this is the scene where macbeth dies and i want it as realistic and as method as possible GO” and harry is hit with plastic swords and “slain”
they would organize the biggest dodgeball tournament and recruit students and they would be on opposing teams and they would spend most of the day throwing balls at each other
sometimes they play stupid games like flag football in the hallways, but modified–they walk around with a flag in their back pocket and first one from them who gets the flag stolen loses this happens at least once every semester and its a big thing in school students place bets bc although louis is a strong contender because he just charges and uses brute force, harry is sneaky af and he’s got deft fingers and there are rumors that he used to pickpocket in italy or something (louis spread those rumors of course)
students love them separately but they know better than to put those two in a room together because they’re going to explode like two chemicals
until of course, senior graduation night, where they show up together and work the room together and everyone single senior is so fuckin confused when harry and louis giggle and kiss and hold hands and the students find out they’re just playing a big prank on the underclassmen
senior students never spill the secret
