Please read it and tell me I'm not tripping, because I'm pretty sure there's something
So I have these professors(middle aged now, about 45-50 age) who are in the same department and have same specialization, so often times they end up taking the same subject together (there are two sections, so one proff each section). And they're besties! Who are a liiiiiitle toooo close to each other👀.. and all the papers they publish are together! So if one prof publishes a paper with their student, the other is literally bound to be third/fourth author too... It's almost like they're married and their Google scholar profiles are also married🤣..
They are both kind and very sweet to us! One of them has a loud voice (say proff X).. so many times it has happened that when they are both taking classes in the same building the other proff (say proff Y) sometimes just stops mid explanation, listens for a moment for the other proff's voice and tell us, 'oh it's proff X right 😄' AND THAT IS SO ADORABLEEEEEE
Apparently they did the btech together, were partners on their thesis projects and probably did their phD's together as well!!! They are always together, going to classes in the same car, tea breaks, outings EVERYTHING TOGETHER! But but but proff X is married and has a daughter, but proff Y is unmarried even now. I went throught their older fb posts and guess what i found... Proff X and Y with their lil girl as if they were married and had a kid🥹🥹🥹 idk what is up with proff X's wife but I have NEVER in my 4 years seen her with him... And the daughters seems close with proff Y too, the three of them have outings together sometimes!!
Also get this! I recently found out that Proff Y has a photo of Proff X in their house. Just a random single, small old school framed photo of Proff X in their house.. you know how in earlier times they didn't have phones so it feels like he just kept a photo of Proff X with him!!!
They also do gardening together and everything Proff Y does, Proff X is with him!! Proff Y needs to make a painting, proff X will drive him to and from shops and help him set everything up. Proff Y is asked to help with events then proff X is also there with him. Proff X is asked to host and judge a competition, proff Y also follows him. And proff X cooks a lot, it always seems like he's cooking for proff Y! Proff Y's statuses are filled with proff X, like he's always gushing about his man cooking 😭😭 He's always at proff Y's house, in his apartment kitchen cooking something or the other and proff Y is posting about ittt, calling it new food from Proff X's kitchen LIKE SIR NO THAT'S LITERALLY YOUR APARTMENT KITCHEN HE'S STANDING AND COOKING AT?!!
TELL ME THEY'RE NOT TOGETHER??!! THEY'RE SO CLEARLY COUPLE GOALS AND NO ONE IS AS EXCITED ABOUT THEM AS I AM!!! That drives me crazy!?? In this homophobic country, in this prejudiced and highly dangerous place they have such a sweet beautiful world with themselves and ITS THE BEST THINGGGG?!!!!!!!! You can tell I needed to get this out of my system😭 I'm literally swooning everytime I see them together, just existing like any other married couple!!! Like private but not secret 😭😭😭 Everyone else is so unbothered, like LOOK AT THEM AREN'T THEY SO COOL!!! And both of them are so sweet to us students, especially proff Y, he always supports us and guides us!! Tell me I'm not crazy bruh😭😭😭😭😭
You are ABSOLUTELY not crazy. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WITH EYES IN THAT ENTIRE DEPARTMENT 😭.
I'm honestly impressed that you deep-dived into their Google Scholar profiles - cuz SAME. I did that too whenever I found a prof really interesting (not in a crush way, just genuinely when they simplify concepts so well). But you took it to another level with the fb archaeology and the framed photo discovery. That's dedication.
Carpooling, cooking in his apartment, still single while the other is married? BTech together, thesis partners, PhD together, publishing together? Their Google Scholar profiles are literally married at this point 😭.
And the daughter being close with Prof Y, the outings, the 3 of them looking like a family while Prof X's wife is nowhere in sight for 4 yrs? That's not a coincidence.
You did your homework, girl. Was your entire department just blind?? Cuz how is no one else losing their mind over this? They're literally a whole married couple in every way that matters and everyone's just.. walking past them?? Make it make sense.
Thank you sm for sharing this with me cuz I am now EMOTIONALLY INVESTED in their love story 😭. And honestly?? Since you explained it with such detail and excitement, you should write the fic. You have the eye for it. You noticed everything. I'll just be your cheerleader and first reader 🥰
