MADNESS (for @annstar123 )
"Can you like, maybe not be so annoying?" I say to him, as I swat his hand away. I was trying to write an essay that was due tomorrow, but Jüri would just not leave me alone to do it.
I know I should've done it earlier, but to be fair, I didn't and now I had to pay for it. Which meant I was probably going to pull an all-nighter in hopes of getting it finished. But at the rate I was going now, even that seemed highly unlikely.
I would like to blame my annoying boyfriend for distracting me from my work.
"Can't you take a break for a few minutes?" He asks.
"No, then I'll never get it done on time." I reply, not taking my eyes of the screen and fingers typing frantically.
"It's only a few minutes, Ann." He says and rolls his eyes.
"I think we both know that 'a few minutes' will turn out to be way more when I'm with you, and I really, really want to get this finished alright?" I explain, realising that I've already wasted time on this.
"Oh, come on. I promise I will let you get back to work. Just a few minutes. Please?" He pleads.
I sigh, and rub my eyes, "Don't you understand how important this is for me?"
"Of course I do-"
"Apparently, you don't." I cut him off, and stand up to go somewhere else. I wasn't really sure where I was going, but I just needed to find somewhere quiet to finish this.
Jüri closes my laptop and stands next to me. He wraps his arms around me sloppily and tries to kiss me, but I push him away, "No, I'm mad at you right now!"
Jüri pouts at me. "Don't be mad at me."
I roll my eyes, "That's not going to work this time. Please just let me finish this up."
I get everything I need and stuff it into my bag. A few minutes later, I'm headed out the door without a clear destination.
"Ann!" He yells after me, but I ignore it.
I would apologise to Jüri later, praying he would understand and not be too mad at me.

It doesn't take me long to find a quiet open 24-hours café-like thing. Unsurprisingly, there is no one in there and I see this as the perfect spot to finish my essay.
I order a coffee mostly to keep me awake, and sit down at a table furthest away. I begin typing away at my laptop in an inhumane fast pace.
But the longer I sit here, the worse I feel and the more my thoughts drift back to Jüri. I really shouldn't have been so hard on him.
Was it really so bad that he wanted a few minutes with me?
***
When I came home that morning, nobody was there. I decide to go straight to university, not caring about the way I look right now.
That evening I get back home late and exhausted. The first thing I do is take my shoes and jacket off. After that I decide to find Jüri to apologise to him.
Yet, when I open the door to the living room I see he's a few steps ahead of me. He is there waiting for me in his suit and with a rose in his hand.
The living room is lit with only candle light that comes from the dining table in the back, and the few candles around the room. He's set up a romantic diner for just the two of us.
I really am speechless.
Jüri approaches me and offers me the rose. I take it from him.
"I'm really sorry, Ann."
I look down at the rose in my hands and shake my head, "You don't have to be. It was my fault anyway. I can't blame you for wanting some time with me."
He smiles and holds out his arms for a hug. I walk into them and wrap my own arms around him, "Thank you."
I pull back a little and kiss him.
"Am I forgiven?" He mumbles against my lips.
I pull back, "Of course, but you really didn't have to do all this. It was my own fault anyway." I tell him.
He shakes his head, "I should've just let you do your work. Education is important... although you really should've done it earlier." He laughs a little, and I can't help but crack a smile too.
"So, we're good?" He asks, and instead of giving him a proper answer, I kiss him again.
"I'm just going to take that a yes." He mumbles and I smile against his lips.

I couldn't really find the right concept for this, I rewrote it at least like three times so I really hope you like it <3 x
