Chapter Text
The day was like any other until Kris saw something in their locker it’s a note from Berdly? Why did Berdly leave a note in their locker? They think to themself they remember all the other times berdly has asked them to hang out with him, he has been asking kris to hang out more lately and also talking to them more…wait did Berdly have a fucking crush on them, is this a love letter or something. they sigh as they start to actually read the letter
’ Dear Kris,
I would like to invite you to study with me, since you are the 3rd best student I think we can share knowledge and improve our test scores. Not everyone gets to study with a genius. If you’d like to partake in studying with me please come to the library’s computer lab after school.
please come
Signed,
Berdly’
they sigh they’re glad the note is just for some study date and not a love note, but why do they also feel a bit disappointed. Can’t dwell on that too long they had to go to the library after all
Was inviting Kris to study with him a bad idea. It’s been 15minutes and Kris isn’t here yet… maybe they just walk slow or something, maybe Kris just isn’t coming.
Berdly starts to overthink but then the bluebird is taken back to reality when they hear the door open
“Oh Kris there you are!! I was wondering if you were even going to agree and attend my offer to study with me” Berdly brings out his book which is filled with notes from the class “so I think we should start on-“ Berdly rambles on about what they learnt in class today. Kris stays quiet throughout Berdly’s talking they were trying to take in what Berdly’s saying but their eyes move from Berdly’s notebook to his face kris noticed how soft his feathers look, how his beak moves when he talks, how expressive his eyes are, kris can’t help but find it cute,
Wait cute??? I shouldn’t be thinking about Berdly like this. Oh crap just try to focus on what he’s saying Kris, oh shit am I blushing I hope he doesn’t notice, do my bangs cover it up, I hope they do.
”um Kris” kris jolts up and listens to berdly “you haven’t said anything so this whole time are you focusing? Are you ok? You can leave if you’d like” Berdly sounded strangely considerate.
“no it’s fine I’m enjoying this study date” Kris says, they’re glad that berdly didn’t notice their blushing.
“Well for this to be a proper study date we have to be studying and Kris i do not see you studying” Berdly sighs “ I just just talking about what we were taught in maths today, you surely understand what this is right?” Berdly shows them his notes from the class and points to a section Kris rolls their eyes and mutters out what it is, Berdly seems pleased “Good you’re not as dumb as you seem you are when you are napping during precious class time” Berdly backhandedly comments.
The study date continues Berdly helps Kris study along with Kris occasionally helping him as well. Berdly secretly wonders if the both of them are using the word study date correctly
“What the fuck are those losers doing” Susie asks noelle,
”I think they’re studying together, this must be why Berdly said he wouldn’t like to study together today” Noelle quietly replies,
”dang I keep forgetting how much of a fucking nerd Kris is” Susie turns to Noelle sharply “is Kris blushing????” Noelle looks surprised as susie is as she turns to Susie,
“I-I think they actually are blushing, it’s kinda hard to see because of how long their bangs are though” Noelle and Susie look at the both of them and then at each other.
”Dude does Kris have a crush on fucking berdly of all people?????” Susie says surprised trying to keep her volume low so that Kris and Berdly don’t notice that the both of them are outside the computer labs doors “I’m happy that Kris found someone they like but seriously Berdly???”,
” I’m just as surprised as you are Susie, but I think we should go before they notice we’re here” Noelle holds Susie’s hand, Susie starts to blush.
”Yeah ok but weren’t you supposed help me with my homework” Susie looks at noelle waiting for her reply,
“we can work on it at my house!!” Noelle smiles as they leave the library to go to her house.
At about 5:45 they decide to finish up the study date
“Thank you kris for agreeing to this study date with me I believe that you and I‘s test scores will improve because of this” berdly puts his books and pen case in his book bag
”yeah ok” kris stretches and yawns
”If you can would you maybe like to do this again tomorrow?” Berdly requests
“yeah sure, see you after school tomorrow” kris and berdly both walk to the door, berdly opens the door
“see you after school” berdly says before him and kris leave the library and part ways for the day
