Dorm Room Daddy 3: Test Time!
"Ready to go, Danny?" Tristan asked. Danny, formerly Dan, nodded as he slung his Paw Patrol backpack over his shoulders. At least his t-shirt and shorts looked like normal college student attire, even if his underwear matched his backpack. He walked over to his roommate's desk and hugged him.
"Bye-bye, Daddy." He said, bottom still stinging from the swat he had received for failing to properly greet Uncle Tristan. His duties done, he took Tristan''s hand. He was not allowed to go to any class without holding the hand of his designated uncle. He still was not sure how Daddy Kyle had managed to find a willing uncle in every single one of his classes.
"Excited for Chem?" Tristan asked, grinning down at the tiny freshman holding his hand.
"We're getting our tests back and I know I failed."
"Oh, come on. Be more optimistic. Your Daddy and I spent a lot of time helping you study, didn't we?" Danny nodded. "You even got to stay up past your bedtime a couple nights ago to study, didn't you?" Danny nodded again, but he was more sullen this time. Past his bedtime meant he had managed to see 8 PM before he had been forced to go to bed.
"Alright, students." Dr. Borchardt said as she surveyed the classroom. Even after a full ninety minute lecture, she seemed severe. "I have your tests. I must say I'm pleased with most of you, but a few of you need to reassess your priorities." Why did it feel like she had looked right at Danny when she said that?
His hands trembled as he took the test from her. Why did she always hand them out facedown, as if each one had an enormous red F emblazoned on it? Tristan let it sit on his desk for a moment until Tristan whispered to him.
"How'd you do?" Danny turned over the test, feeling like he would soak it with how sweaty his hand was. His gasp seemed to echo in the quiet classroom as he saw the B+, but then his gaze moved to the sticker next to it. Rubble, one of the Paw Patrol characters, grinned up at him. Under his paws were the words 'Grrr-eat job!' He saw Tristan's test next to his. Tristan had gotten an A, but no sticker. Danny felt his cheeks burn, but all the same, he had done it! He had gotten a B+! As silly as it sounded, he realized, deep down, he could not wait to tell Daddy!
