Chapter Text
“Thanks so much for coming! I’m glad you enjoyed the movie!” She said as she watched the theater empty, another movie premiere a success. The young woman was a talented actor and director. Tonight her movie Lost in Nobia starring Chris Winters and Jessica Lomar, both A-List actors, had premiered. Soon after everyone had left, and the young director was preparing to leave, a slow clapping started from the back of the theater. She turned around surprised looking for the source. Standing in the aisle near the back, still as sharp looking as ever stood Thomas Hunt, her former professor.
“Well, better than some, at least. Still plenty of room for improvement. I think that casting Winters was a stupid move. He’s getting old.” Hunt commented from the background. Instead of scowling like he expected, She jumped off the stage and ran over to him, giving him a hug. He didn’t object, but he didn’t hug back either.
“I take it you liked it then? Thanks for coming, I thought you were too busy teacher dunderheads.”
“I was, I made time.” He answered with a shrug. “Next time I expect better though, I don’t want you to waste my time.”
“Of course, but as I recall it was you who asked when my premier was.”
“Please, why would I want to waste my night at an amateur movie?”
“You just did, didn’t you.” She asked, raising an eyebrow, smirking.
“Touché.”
“I missed you too.”
“I have to admit, it is nice to not have to see you on a daily basis now.”
“Oh really?”
“Yes, I don’t enjoy with dealing with incompetent students.”
“Incompetent am I? I believe that I just directed a movie that is soon to be an oscar winner.”
“Getting ahead of ourselves are we?”
“You wish.”
“It’s getting late, I have to grade crappy student films still.”
“Would you like some help? I wouldn’t mind the experience. I’d love to teach at some point. Once I retire from Hollywood that is.”
“You wouldn’t grade them to my standard. The students would think I’d gone soft.”
“And I suppose we wouldn’t want that?”
“Precisely.”
“Come on, it’ll be fun. I’ll buy coffee. It’s the least I can do after you came to watch my movie.”
“You know what I really came for...”
“Right, I forgot how much you like Chris’ abs.”
“I wish I hadn’t come, I forgot how insufferable you are.”
“And I see you’re still a jack ass.”
“Coffee?”
“Coffee.” She grabbed his hand and led him out of the theater.
