Exams Suck - Amajiki Tamaki x Gen. Reader

Amajiki Tamaki x Gen. Reader

Gender neutral reader, they/them pronouns. Tried to make sure I didn't mention anything specific about appearance (like skin blushing or height differences, let me know if I messed up somewhere).

Contains: terms of endearment (love), mention of exams (I'm sorry, finals week was rough on me too), mentions of some education after high school (no one feel pressured to do college or anything! Do what's best for you), and probably some OOC-ness (sorry lol), not proofread!

Let me know if there's anything I need to add! I want you guys to feel safe.

- Studying's never fun (unless you do have fun studying, in which you should share how―) 

- However! Studying with someone can be a littler nicer than studying on your own, especially if that "someone" is Amajiki Tamaki

- Often times, before you two had gotten together, your study dates would also include Mirio and Nejire (seeing as how you all were learning the same curriculum)

- However, when feelings were obviously brewing between you two, both Mirio and Nejire would conveniently be too busy to show up to the meetings scheduled

- At first, these one-on-one study dates were a little awkward, more on Tamaki's end than yours

- Poor boy couldn't meet your eyes and would stutter when you two discussed the lecture material

- Thankfully, he eventually got more comfortable being alone with you for more than a second

- Looking back, you could even say those study dates were what helped you two become closer

- Time comes and goes, and you all graduate from U.A., but "learning is forever" as they say

- In other words, unfortunately, you cannot get away from exams so soon

You groan, leaning back from your computer and notebook. Rubbing at your heavy eyes, you begin wondering why the hell you did this to yourself. You stay slumped back, deciding to stare at the wall as the lack of motivation claims your brain.

It was early in the evening, and you had gotten off hero duty at least an hour ago. Once you showered, changed, and snacked on what was in the fridge, you pulled out the trusty study guide and your favorite pencil/pen. Tomorrow's exam, while online, is still timed and your webcam is required. This means you've been studying as best you can, even while on patrol. When things were quiet and uneventful, you'd go over a mental list of what you'd gone over in your notes. You (don't) normally get test anxiety, but the idea of this upcoming exam was beginning to become more than stressful.

With a sigh and a sip of your chosen drink, you sit up and pick up your pen again. However, the sound of the door unlocking and opening draws your attention away rather easily.

"I'm home."

You get up from your chair, stretching with a grunt and your bones cracking, before meeting your boyfriend at the door where he's slipping his shoes off.

"Hey." You wrap your arms around Tamaki after he's finished, and he embraces you with his own. It seems he had showered and changed at the agency; the soft scent of his body-wash was easy to pick up as you press your face into his neck. You let out a sigh, relaxing into him. "Welcome home."

He also snuggles into you, hand rubbing at your back in a gentle up-and-down motion. His voice is soft and a little tired as he asks, "How was your day, love?"

You groan. "The hero stuff was fine, but this exam is going to kill me." You give him one last squeeze before pulling away with a pout. "I can't bring myself to study anymore."

"Is it really that hard?" Tamaki grimaces, lips curling down. "I couldn't image taking that course, with how stressed you've been lately. Sounds awful." He almost shivers.

"Normally, I'd be fine with this type of stuff, but I just can't seem to grasp this stuff as fast as I used to." You frown as you lead Tamaki further into the apartment, allowing him to place down his keys and bag in their usual spots. "I guess I don't feel confident I know the material, and there's sooo much of it!"

Tamaki shakes his head, following you as you sit back down at the table. He takes a seat beside you, his fingers dragging against his sleeves. "I'm sure you'll do fine, (Name). You've been studying for over a week, even with your hero work."

"I know, I just..." You shift in your chair, moving your legs. "I don't know, I'm just nervous. And I hate studying, I hate it. This is torture."

"Uh, well." Tamaki looks off to the side, a little bashful. "What if... What if you taught me what you're learning?"

You hum, tilting your head a little.

"I heard that if... If you can teach the material, then you really know it. So, maybe by teaching me, you can get more confident? In what you know...?" He crinkles his nose, eyes shut as his face contorts into a grimace. "Never-nevermind, that was stupid―"

"No!" You light up a bit, gently grasping Tamaki's arm before he turns away completely. "That's actually a good idea. I'm so tired of going over my notes over and over like this, so trying something different would be nice. Great even!"

Tamaki laughs nervously before trailing off a little awkwardly. "Okay, then. Um, where should we start?"

"Hmm, let's see..."

- Another nice thing about studying with Tamaki is that you two always have a nice meal afterwards <3

Ngl idk if I'm happy with this lol. And it might've not actually been a study date, my bad. Hopefully headcanons and a little scenario is good enough. I kinda based this off of what I'd do for my science exams--the beginning part of the scenario anyway. There's way too much math in science, and I hate math. Thank god I don't have to take that class again, I'd cry if I had to (I woke up twenty minutes past when the final started if you must know <3)

I also hope Tamaki isn't too ooc? I've never written for him before, so I really hope I didn't do an awful job at his characterization.

Anyway, it's 4am and I'm tired. Requests are still open, so feel free to send one after checking out the rules! I'm on break now, so it's more likely I'll get to it sooner this time
