It had been multiple hours since you fled the living room to finish your essay, knowing that if you had stayed in his arms a little longer you'd be asleep. The dusty haired student had started to grow concerned over your recent habits: wake up, go to lectures, come home, work until you ate together, and off to work again. He had noticed growing dark circles around your eyes and a lack of engagement in simple conversations, how you were getting through your lectures in this state was a wonder to him.

This year had been difficult, almost all students had a plethora of work to get through and he knew you worked hard, but he had never seen you work this hard. Even with exams and normal work, Suga was able to make time for himself and you, so just how much extra work were you doing.

It was a Friday evening, he knew you liked to get work out of the way before the weekend, but maybe stopping before it hit 1am tonight would be a good idea. Clad in his large sage coloured hoodie and grey sweatpants, he started making his way from the kitchen to the small desk in the corner of the shared bedroom.

He leaned against the door frame, arms folded across his chest, and opted to just admire you as you worked, eyes concentrated, fingers tapping away and only pausing to jot something down on the notebook laid out next to you. You'd sometimes pause to rub your eyes before returning to your work; it was evident that you were growing more tired as the minutes went by.

"As proud of you as I am, I think you should take a break from studying." Suga's pleas went unnoticed as music flowed through the earphones that were snug in your ears and had been for an obscene amount of hours now.

He quickly grew tired of being unheeded by you in your exhausted state and quietly stepped closer to the desk until he was stood behind you. The former setter carefully tugged the earbuds out, placing them on the desk and placed his chin on your shoulder.

"I'll repeat what I said when you had them in, as proud of you as I am, I think you need to take a break" was whispered into your ear as youd topped typing and stared straight ahead.

"Ko, I have so much to get through" you argued back and began to type again. You could feel your eyes watering, If you stopped for too long they would begin to flow and you were not about to cry in front of him or about this insipid assignment.

A soft pressure from his lips was placed against your temple, the comforting and velvety feeling eased the band of tension running across your head slightly. Moving a calloused hand to your cheek, he carefully pulled your face towards him so that he could look at you and ran his hand under your eyes and across your cheek. Your eyes drifted shut from the familiar and reassuring touch that he provided and once again you could feel the streams of tears waiting to be released.

"You've been working very hard, sweetheart, and I just want you to look after yourself" he proceeded to run his thumb across the cheek he held as he awaited a response. Just cherishing how you looked in the combination of moonlight that poured through the window, and the blue light of your computer.

"So much work has been piling up and then there's exams, I don't know if I can get through it all" that was the moment that you opened your eyes to look up at his hazel ones. Then, the first tear fell, slowly and steadily, all the way down till his thumb wiped it away.

His eyes widened slightly at the prospect of you being so stressed that it made you cry.

"Hey, hey, it'll be okay. shh," his words were quiet but impactful as he lightly pushed your face into his chest and he held you as your arms moved to grip onto his hoodie. "I'm right here, you can get through it. I know you can, honey, okay?"

All was quiet apart from the light shushing that fell from his lips and a faint sniffling sound coming from you. He continued to pet your hair to calm you, until the idea of making you comfy and taking you away from your work seemed like a good idea.

"Let's get you out of these clothes and I'll meet you in bed with some tea, hmm how does that sound?" Hearing his soft voice again brought your face out of his chest as you slowly nodded to his proposition. He pulled away from you to grab a large hoodie of his from the other side of the room and placed it on the bed for you. He moved towards the door whilst giving a reassuring smile and stating he'd be back quickly.

Deciding to actually listen to his instruction, you plodded over to your draws getting out comfy clothes and topped it off with his charcoal coloured hoodie. The soft fabric of his fit comfortably and your senses were filled with the smell of fresh laundry and sweet mint.

As you settled into your side of the bed, the door was lightly pushed open, silver locks and pulled up green sleeves peaked round the door with two cups. A smile was on his face. He joined you, handed you a mug of tea and started playing a relaxing playlist quietly in the background.

He pulled your form close, keeping an arm around you as you snuggled into him. Steam rose, helping to clear your head, and a low, steady hum was heard.

Only partially through your tea and head resting on Suga's shoulder, your eyes started closing as the rhythm of his heart and humming sent you into your slumber. He moved your mug onto the bedside table you to avoid you dropping it and placed a light kiss on your forehead; he decided to follow you in his own tired state but not before uttering the words "I love you."
