It's one of the weeks that you just want to sleep. Joshua glance at you when your face met the wooden table. It has been a hell week for you, since it's your finals.

You took a sip of your double shot coffee wearing a frown as you review a thick book. You have a test tomorrow of your least favorite subject. Reviewing this couple of days helped you to understand the complexity of the topics.

"Why is it so hard...?" you rant as you tried to understand your notes.

"What's so hard?" Joshua took a seat behind your chair hugging you.

" This subject!" he leaned to your sides noticing the huge dark circles under your eyes. Releasing a yawn, Joshua already knew you were tired and didn't even sleep to study.

"Y/N look," you felt his touch under your chin pulling your face on his.  You could see the worry through his eyes. " I think you should rest for a minute." you wish you could rest but, you shut your eyes in frustration and turn your head to the blurry and mouthful words on your book.

"I can't, Joshy." Joshua asked, not getting the point. Because he's sure that your brain and eyes are tired. What's wrong with just an hour or two nap, he thought.

" It's the hardest and my least favorite subject." you took another sip of your coffee.

" You know I've been thinking if blood was really running through your veins, because I think it's coffee." he grabbed your empty cup of coffee, before you can start an argue Joshua went to the kitchen.

" Ugh! I wish I have enough storage in my brain." you groaned and sighed, resting your head above your thich book.

😵😵😵

" Here's your—" your boyfriend stopped when you were busy highlighting your book, but that didn't made him froze. Its because you really look pale and tired. You look like you're gonna pass out.

What worsens the situation when you felt a liquid running down from your nose. Joshua's eyes shocked seeing your nose were bleeding, you tried to wipe it away but he was quick enough to grab a box of tissue.

" Baby, look you're nose is bleeding. This is really—"

"No, I have to understand this freaking lessons." there was regret through his expression as he wipe the blood, if only he could help you.

Of course, a rest wouldn't hurt your grade and all. Besides you continuously reviewing doesn't do good on you right now, Joshua thought.

"I need to understand this be—Woah, Joshy! Put me down!" Joshua didn't obliged, his arms went around you and carry you like just a sack of potato.

" No, babe." before you could even comprehend, Joshua trapped you on the bed, his arms at your sides. You could feel your cheeks burning so furiously that you almost coughed.

" W-What are you doing?" Joshua let out a smug look, leaning closer and closer.

" Just rest for a while, Y/N." there was a persistence and worry in his tone, and protectiveness as his arms went around your shoulder. Your hand felt his strong chest as Joshua pulled you closer to him. Your head rests on his shoulders.

"You look like you're gonna pass out earlier, Y/N. I know how important your studies are but... don't forget about your health too." Joshua lectured. You could feel every sigh he take as he explains, tilting his head on yours.

" I-It's just hard..." you were stun when tears escapes your eyes. You weren't expecting tears to betray you soon enough. But going to college was tough and all.

" I know, baby." Joshua hums, trying to comfort you. " Think about this yeah, you study your butt off on college not minding your health. But after that what? Sure you have a job and dealing with a cancer."

" That sounds scary..." that's all you could say, because thinking about it—it somehow hit you.

"Baby, I'm sorry for worrying you." Joshua just nodded, pulling you into a hug.

" Just don't push yourself too hard. I'm already proud of you, Y/N. How you give your efforts—your blood, sweat and tears. In short your all." he press a kiss on your forehead giving you that lightness to your stomach.

An appreciative smile forms at the corner of your lips, he gritted through his teeth and wipes the tears away. His hands found its way at the side of your face caressing it, lovingly.

" In the end everything will be worth it, Y/N." you could almost feel his comforting words shove the doubts and anxiety away.
