It was a rainy, and quiet Tuesday afternoon in downtown Toronto. While most people would take this time to relax and enjoy life, not everyone can agree with that.



"This is too much. I can't keep up with all this work. God, why do these teachers think they can assign this much work and expect people to finish it with no problems or complaints." Courtney sighs while flipping through all her papers.

Just then, Gwen walks in, carrying a cup of tea.

"Hey, babe. How's the studying going?" Gwen spoke softly, knowing how the CIT could get when it comes to her work.

Courtney looks up at Gwen and sighs.

"It's not going well. I'm so behind on everything and I don't know how to catch up. I have 2 assignments due this Friday, 3 essays due at the end of this month, I have a stupid project that doesn't even make sense, I ha-" Courtney rambles before being cut off.

Gwen sets the tea down on the desk and walks over to Courtney. She takes one hand to rest on her cheek and her other hand to put a finger in front of her lips.

"Baby, maybe you just need to take a break for a little while. Clear your mind and relax." Gwen suggested.

Courtney looks at Gwen skeptically.

"I don't have time for a break, Gwen. I need to study." Courtney said before turning back to her work.

Gwen then sits on Courtney's lap and slowly kisses her. They make out for at least 5 minutes before Gwen pulls her face away and looks her lover in the eye.

"Trust me, Courtney. Taking a break can actually help you study better. Here, let me show you." Gwen then takes Courtney's hand and leads her over to the couch.

"Just sit down and relax. I'll take care of everything." Gwen says.

Courtney sits down on the couch, still feeling unsure.

"I don't know, Gwen. I feel like I should be doing something productive." Courtney begins anxiously playing with her hands before Gwen sits down next to Courtney and puts her arm around her.

"You are being productive, Courtney. You're taking care of yourself. And that's the most important thing." Gwen whispers to her.

Courtney leans her head on Gwen's chest and lets out a deep sigh before speaking. "Okay, you're right. I do need a break."

Gwen smiles, places a kiss on Courtney's forehead, and picks up the remote control.

"Great. Now, how about we watch a movie? Something fun and lighthearted to take your mind off of things." Gwen suggests. 

Courtney nods, feeling more relaxed already.

Gwen notices this and plays with her girlfriend's hair.



As they watch the movie, Gwen gives Courtney a back massage, helping to relieve some of the tension in her shoulders.

"Mhm, that feels really good." Courtney groans, making Gwen smirk. 

"I'm glad you're enjoying it. Just relax and let me take care of you." Gwen says before kissing her neck, making her girlfriend giggle.

After the movie is over, Gwen turns to Courtney.

"Feeling better?" Gwen whispers.

Courtney: "Mhm." Is all she said before wrapping her arms around Gwen like a human koala.

"Feeling drowsy?" The goth girl taunts.

After Courtney slowly nods her head, Gwen chuckles and picks her lover up to bring her to their bedroom.

Gwen places her CIT down, gets into bed with her, and pulls their blanket up to cover them.

"Hey Gwen?" Courtney mumbles into Gwen's chest.

Gwen hummed in response.

"I love you."


"I love you too."
