Prompt: Jesse, Jordyn and Grey have a study jam at Jesse's house. They have mountains of textbooks, notes, papers, pencils, pens, higlighters, and various foods and drinks strewn about Jesse's room. By the end of it all, they goof off more than they study.

Jesse was sitting on the floor, surrounded by an avalanche of textbooks and notes. The room was a complete disarray, with pencils and highlighters scattered everywhere. There were also plates of half-eaten snacks and empty soda cans in different spots. Jesse looked like a complete mess with bags around his eyes and tufts of his hair sticking out. Suddenly, Jesse let out a loud yawn, which caused Grey to giggle and flip a page. "You're falling asleep man." He commented. "Let's take a break."

Jesse nodded, his eyes half closed. "Sounds good to me." He muttered sleepily. Jordyn, who was sitting next to Jesse, looked amused by Jesse's yawn. "Looks like someone could use a cat nap," she teased, flicking his ear playfully. Jesse swatted her hand away, trying to stifle another yawn. "Ha ha very funny," he mumbled, rubbing his eyes. "I'm just tired."

"Oh come on," Grey said, rolling his eyes. "We've been studying for hours. We all need a break." He reached over and poked Jesse's face, making Jesse swat his hand away in annoyance. "Don't poke the tired student," he grumbled. But despite his protest, Jesse couldn't help but chuckle at Grey's antics.

"Fine, fine."Jesse finally relented. "What do you guys want to do?" He asked, stretching his arms above his head. Grey looked around the room, his eyes lighting up as he spotted the pile of pillows and blankets tossed carelessly in a corner. "Pillow fort!" he suggested gleefully.

Jesse made a face. "A pillow fort? Seriously?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. But Jordyn was already standing up and gathering pillows. "Sounds like a great idea," she said with a grin. "Come on, Jesse. Don't be a party pooper."

"Aren't we a bit too old for pillow forts?" Jesse tilted his read towards his friends as they started stacking things around.

"Of course not," Grey retorted. "Pillow forts are timeless." He grabbed a few more pillows and stacked them on top of each other. "Besides, it's not about being old. It's about having a blast and taking a break from all the studying." Jordyn nodded in agreement, tossing some blankets over the pillows.

"Exactly," she said with a grin. "Plus, it's the perfect spot to catch up and gossip." Jesse rolled his eyes, but he couldn't help but smile at his friends' enthusiasm. "Fine, I'll admit it would be kinda nice to just chill out." He finally relented, crawling into the now semi-formed pillow fort and claiming his spot.

"That's the spirit!" Grey said cheerfully, crawling into the fort beside him. The three of them started building the fort even more, creating little tunnels and rooms with the pillows and blankets. Soon enough, the pillow fort was complete, with a little opening that they could peek out of to see the rest of the room. It was cozy, and just big enough to fit all of them.

"Now this is what I'm talking about," Jordyn said, settling into one of the pillow rooms. "It's like our own little world in here." Jesse nodded in agreement, leaning back against the pillows. "It's pretty cool." He said, feeling a bit more relaxed. Grey couldn't help but grin, clearly proud of their creation. "I knew this was a good idea," he said triumphantly.

The three of them snuggled into the fort, the tension and stress of studying melting away as they chatted and laughed. The pillows and blankets created a soft, comfortable atmosphere that felt like a mini sanctuary from the rest of the world. Jesse had to admit that he was glad they had taken a break from studying, and that the pillow fort was a perfect way to do it. Sure, they were still on the floor of his room, surrounded by homework and books, but in that moment, they felt like kids again, carefree and happy.
