Study Session (Shaw)

-

As they sat at a table at the far backend of their college library, MC was starting to second guess her choice of study partner.

Before her was one of her many textbooks, surrounded by pages upon pages of messy notes and assignments, as she prepared to study for an exam that approaches sooner than she had hoped. And to her right was Shaw, the study partner in question.

He was lying on his crossed arms and his face turned her way where she could obviously see him fast asleep.

She sighs, then elbows his side.

'What? What are you-'

He quickly sits up, but immediately sinks back into position, seeing the familiar face sitting at his side.

'God. Leave me alone, will you?'

'You're supposed to be studying!'

He gives her an obvious look. One that says 'do you know who you're talking to right now?' and to her annoyance, he was right. Shaw excelled in studies, even if he hardly ever showed up to class.

She leans down on her own crossed arms, mirroring his position and makes a face back.

'Could you at least help me then?'

A tiny moment of hesitation. 'Nope. Figure it out for yourself.'

He shuts his eyes. 'Wake me up when you're done.'

This guy...never taking anything seriously. She sits up, begrudgingly returning to her own work when an idea comes to mind.

'Shaw.' she leans closer towards him, and as she speaks Shaw could feel her breath again his lips. He opens his eyes right as she presses her lips tenderly onto his own. The kiss is soft, like her. Shaw adjusts immediately, raising his head, his right hand holding the back of her neck. But, as sudden as it happens, she parts the kiss. All he's left with is a sly look.

'MC.'

'You seem to be up now, why don't you study with me? It's worth half our grade, you know.' she turns back to her work, sitting as straight and as proper as she started.

Shaw sighs. 'You tease.'

'You like it.'

'Do I?'

It was never left at that between them. Shaw swiftly moves his chair closer to hers, his arm easily moving around her waist. He sees the blush rise to her cheeks.

'Hm. Maybe I do like it.' their eyes lock for a second before she turns back to her work. Shaw laughs. 'Now, what question were you on?'
