are you what you want to be?

college au!
///
yelena could see the wheels turning in your head, face in a frown as you stare at your computer. you were writing a dreaded paper for your english class with the most impossible prompt and the fact it was worth 50% of your grade didn't help either. yelena had called you earlier because she hadn't talked to you in days. what can she say? she missed her s/o. on the phone call she could hear how tired and sad you sounded. she decided to surprise you by coming over with your favorite food. to her dismay, you had barely talked or looked at her since she got there.

you could feel the tears of frustration and exhaustion come to fruition and couldn't hold back when yelena asked you what was wrong. yelena was so shocked. poor babe didn't know what was happening.

"i don't even know what i'm doing this for. why do i have to stress so much about a stupid college degree? no one should stress this much, you know?" that was the first time you looked to yelena in a while. at first, her mouth agape and eyes wide slowly turned into a smirk and a knowing look. of course she knew what you meant. she moved herself from the center of your bed and came to sit in front of you at the edge. she took your hands as you silently cried in spite.

"babe, you need to relax and take a break. mulling over this paper for so long is not doing you good." yelena said this as she kissed your hands. she was right. you knew that.

"i know i do but i feel like i can't stop until i'm finished. i feel like i have to put my all into it. if i just sit here, i'll feel useless and i can't stand to feel like that but then again i also hate being frustrated." you said with a dry sarcastic chuckle.

"well you can put your all into after you take a bath and get a good nights rest." yelena said. "cmon babe get up. let's go." she said grabbing your hands, pulling you up and out of your room to your bathroom. as you were walking it all just hit you like a ton of bricks how good of a girlfriend yelena was. you felt bad. she had brought you food and you ignored her. stupid paper.

she drew you a warm bath and you got in. you relished in the calming effect it had on you. you looked over to yelena staring at you with her big and dark eyes.

"get in with me yelena. please." you pleaded towards your girlfriend. jumping at the opportunity, yelena undressed and got into the bath with you. she had her knees pressed up to her chest due to how tall she was and how little space there was in the tub. you moved a bit and  opened your arms so she could sit in between you. you held her tightly against you. her back flush against your chest.

"i just wanted to apologize for ignoring you when you first got here. i also want to thank you for the food. i can't wait to eat it after this." you said with a little giggle and airy tone in your voice, trying to make light of the situation.

yelena understood. she knew how worried and overwhelmed you were. she turned her head as much as she could to give you a small kiss. it was sweet. it let you know that she forgave you. you gave her another kiss and hugged her. you were so grateful for yelena and you felt so much love for her. yelena felt the same. she was happy to spend any moment with you. no matter the situation. she would always take care of you and you would do the same for her.

you felt at peace in this moment even though you had that paper to worry about later. you felt like this was where you were supposed to be in life. this realization brought a smile to your lips.

"what're you smiling about?" yelena asked you with a smirk on her lips.

"nothing. i just love you. i'm glad you're here." you replied with a closed smile. yelena thought you looked beautiful with the way your eyes were shining.

"i love you too. i'll always be here for you." yelena replied and you knew her words to be true.

you were exactly where you needed to be in life.
