So here’s a fun idea I had re: Teacher!AU while at work: Hector and Ernesto make a name for themselves musically via YouTube.

• They have a decent following, nothing huge, but enough people that when Ernesto tweets “Having a concert in [city]!” they can fill a small venue.
• Their most popular song is “Un Poco Loco”–which, in one of the few vlogs where he’s not manically grading papers, Hector admits it was written for the current object of his affections and he thinks she likes it, but nothing else. The comments on that vlog are full of crying emojis and jealousy.
•  Their most viewed video, however, is “The World Es Mi Familia”. It’s only 40 seconds long, because right as they hit the chorus, the table Hector decided to stand on collapses. Ernesto uploads it on the way to Urgent Care (Hector needed 5 stitches) because they have an upload schedule to keep. It becomes a regular favorite in  “YouTube Fail” compilations.
• Every year after that, at least one student stares hard at him in the first day of class and approaches with a tentative “Senor Rivera? Was that you in…?” He just lets out a long sigh and pinches the bridge of his nose as he groans, “Si.”
