Whether or not the funny little characters in your game were aware, it was Valentine’s Day and you were going to woo the bald teacher.
Maybe it was a little weird to be so obsessed with this old edutainment game but damn, nostalgia as you by the neck and Baldi was kinda of fine under all that dithering. Shame that all the characters in the game see you as a child but you were going to try your hardest to get your feelings across!
As soon as your player character loaded in, heart shaped box in your fingerless hands, it was crushed beyond compression which made it all endearing, feeling confident, you began your trek through the halls to find Baldi.
Your careful to keep a stiff pace, last thing you needed was to get detention or get caught up in the hijinks of the school.
“let’s play!” her voice fills you with terror, “Player!”
You couldn’t power-walk away from her fast enough and she caught up to you, you braced for her jump rope minigame but that never came, surprisingly, Playtime stopped in front of you, holding something behind her back.
“Here!” she hands you a small box of chocolates.
Oh, oh that poor girl, maybe she had a crush on you or maybe she was just trying to be nice but too bad that you were just an adult stuck in a child avatar though that explanation won’t really fly well in game, not like you could even speak, so you accepted her gift and quickly moved on in hopes that she got the message.
Well, she wasn’t following you anymore which was good, you had to hurry----
“No running in the hall”
God dammit.
You didn’t have a chance to react as you were instantly teleported into the principal’s office, how did your power walk count as running!?!
Smacking your head against the nearest desk, all you could do now was wait till your guilt counter went down. Slightly grateful that the system worked more on a counter rather than the real life counterpart of this, otherwise you’d be stuck here all day, missing your chance to express your love for him!
Once your time was up, you carefully and quickly head out the door with a heavy sigh, now that was out of that way, time to find Baldi’s classroom!
“GOTTA SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP!”
Noooooo!

When you finally managed get to class after getting wrecked around the entire school, you basically collapsed into the room, Baldi looks up from his papers at the desk he was sitting.
“Oh Player!” he greets you, shuffling aside the low graphic papers, “I was wondering where you were, I was worried you had gotten sick! Don’t worry, there’s plenty of time to catch up on class”
Managing to pull yourself up to his desk, he raises one of his brows, “hm? Something you want to say Player?”
You hold out the heart shaped box to him, to which he takes with his long lanky fingers.
“Oh wow thanks Player! That’s too sweet of you” He beams, holding the gift closer to him now.
His reaction is so cute it’s hard not to curl up on yourself seeing that goofy smile. While he’s most likely not thinking too much about this, just a student appreciating their teacher but god did this stupidly bit crushed teacher make your heart flutter like an idiot.
