It's that time of year again; Exams. Every year is the same. You always get yourself into a mess. Stressing out over every little thing. Not too long ago you were crying in the study because you couldn't figure out an answer. It's your first year at college, you have to make it count. You're studying business. You are one of the top students, but you believe that is more to do with your family background than your actual intelligence level. Something you're really good at is doubting and putting yourself down. You are very bright, you just don't see it.
Sometime had passed now, and you had exhausted yourself out.Zach just so happened to be passing by your study room, noticing you with your head down on the book- you had left the door open ever so slightly- and that's how he could see into the room. You picked your head up and bit your lip concentrating.
"Hey Y/N do you need any help?" Zach asked poking his head around the doorway, as he saw you biting your lip and concentrating on the notes you had for your exams.
"Hm?" you asked, looking up as you took out your earbuds and saw that Zach was there. "Well babe....I was just wondering if you needed any help." Zach said as he shrugged. You smiled. Ever since your exam studying had started Zach had been extremely sweet, and he would make you coffee or tea and he'd go and get dinner (or try and cook it himself) so that you didn't have to.
"Well you could try and help me look over this for my Calculus class...." you said twirling the pencil in your fingers and Zach walked over and sat beside you. "Hm....." he said furrowing his eyebrows.
"I'm just a little confused by how to get the answer. I checked my answer in the back of my book but it was wrong, and I have no idea why." you stated drumming your nails on the table.
Zach said nothing and just watched you. You ran a hand through your hair as you stared at the equations in front of you. What did even half of these mean? Well that's what you were supposed to find out. You sighed as you grabbed your pencil and began to figure everything out again to see how they got the answer.
"I'm borrrreeeddd." Zach drags out the word, saying it in a whiney voice, his arms hanging loosely beside him.
"Then go do something." You replied, looking down at your book.
"I want to do something with you though." Zach used his feet to bring his chair closer to the end of the bed, giving you his puppy dog eyes.
"Zach," You sighed, "You know I need to study for this test coming up. I need to get a good mark if I want to pass this class." You had been studying, or at least attempting to study, for the past hour.
"Can't you study later?"
"No, because you'll drag me into doing some activity that involves us doing stupid things."
"Well, it's just more fun. Studying is boring."
"Zach."
"Y/N."
You threw your hands up, letting out a groan of frustration. "I give up! I cannot study around you." Zach's eyes followed you as you began to pile your papers up, closing your books and stacking them up, and reaching for your book bag.
"What are you doing?" He asked, clearly confused.
"I'm moving to the library. I need to study. And you are very distracting." You explained, continuing to pack up your textbooks.
"No, no, no!" Zach scrambled onto the bed, causing you to stop and stare at him, shocked by the sudden movement. "Don't go, I'll be quiet. I just want to spend time with you." He reached out and took one of your hands in his own.
You looked down at your hands briefly before lifting her eyes to meet Zach's, offering him a small smile. He was adorable at times.
"Promise to be quiet?" She asked.
"Fine Y/N I will. Give my your notes, I'll ask you questions and then you have to answer them"
"Ok"
This continued on before you had gone through everything together. Turns out you knew your stuff pretty well. "I still don't get half of what you studied!" Zach said as he laid down on the couch. You smiled as you laid down beside him and said "Well as long as I do, I think I can pass that exam."
"So can we cuddle now Y/N?" Zach asked, pulling a fake pout. You smiled and said "Yeah. We can cuddle now." Zach grinned as he pulled you close to him, and had his arms wrapped tightly you, your head by his chest.
"Sounds like your heart's doing fine under all that muscle." you joked nuzzling against him, his heartbeat lulling you. "Yeah well when you're around everything's more than fine. It's perfect." he whispered giving your temple a kiss
