You're currently a senior at a prestigious university in New York. You always took nothing but the most challenging, intense courses, no matter how awful they made you feel or how heavy the workload was. It's just how you were brought up. Anything less of that was a disappointment to yourself.

You were also at the ripe, young age of 21. Was there any problem with that? No. Now, your boyfriend, however... well, let's just say there's a bit of an age gap. An almost (practically) 20 year age gap. That's right, you've been in an exclusive relationship with no-one other than Brian Quinn. You guys had been an item for nearly 3 years - you two met shortly after your 18th birthday and truly hit it off from there.

You were living with him for the time being for many reasons. One, mainly, because he was your serious significant other, and another being it saved money in school fees by not living on campus. In your joint apartment, you were blessed enough to have an office space that you could fill with all your books and assignments so they wouldn't clutter up the rest of the house.

Consequently, you spent an awful lot of time in there. You almost always had a paper to write or an exam to cram for. It was truly awful, but at least it was almost over.

It was a late wednesday night and you didn't have much work to catch up on - nothing you couldn't crank out tomorrow morning as a warm up. Even on your time off, it was never truly time off. You always had to be doing something - whether it be a sudoku puzzle or doing math equations for review, it had to be something.

You were scrunched up at your desk when you heard gentle footsteps get closer. You instinctively looked over to the doorway and saw Brian standing there, staring at you, smiling. "Hey, babe." you sleepily said, not having spoken for a few hours because you were working too hard. He smiled bigger and walked over to you. He leaned on the wall beside your workspace and stared at your work. "Is there a problem?" you said in a somewhat soft, flirty tone.

"Not really, I just love seeing my little worker bee doing what she loves." he said, still smiling. You smiled hard and looked up at him. "Come to think of it, yeah... there is a problem." he said, his tone changing. "What is it?" you responded, cocking your head. "You've been working too hard and not paying enough attention to me... I feel neglected." he said in a sad tone, but deep down you could tell he was joking.

"Oh my god, babe, I didn't know you felt that way. I-" you started to say before he cut you off. He leaned down and kissed your forehead. "(y/n), I was kidding. Don't worry about it. I know how much this all means to you." He said, kissing you again. You closed up your work and stood up to face him.

He almost looked surprised, more so curious, as to what you were going to do next. You stood on your tiptoes and leaned up to his ear. "You're right, Bri. I haven't been paying attention to you enough lately. Maybe I should fix that..." you whispered into his ear before kissing his neck. He visibly got goosebumps and his face appeared flushed.

"Come here, you." He said, pulling you into a deep, hard hug. He gave the most grounding, reassuring hugs. You hugged back and tried to match his intensity but he was no match.

You could have sworn his breath hitched and possibly heard a sniffle. Once he pulled back, you looked into his eyes. They looked watery. "Babe, are you okay?" you asked, confused. He nodded in response. "I just love when I get to hold you like that. Some days I'm afraid I'm going to completely lose you. To what, I really don't know. I'm just so afraid." he said with a pathetic half-laugh half-sigh.

You looked shocked, frankly. "I don't understand, Bri. Why would I ever leave you? There is nothing that could ever tear me from you. You've given me so much. You mean the world to me. I love you, Brian." you said while looking into his eyes. He just smiled and gingerly kissed your forehead.

"Hey, you're free tonight, yeah? Fantastic. Let's go watch a movie and fall in love all over again. What do you think about that, babygirl?" he said with a loving smile. "I would absolutely love that, Mr. Quinn." you answered and matched his smile. He grabbed your hand and walked you into the living room where you spent the remainder of the night holding each other and watching trashy movies that you found on various television networks.
