Finals-Matisse Thybulle

for angieloves80s

Finals week. The one week everyone dreaded. Between endless coffees and the piles of books surrounding you, it feels like it never ends. 

This year was different (thanks to Miss COVID). Everything was online. School, work, meetings, etc. It definitely takes a toll on you. 

For Y/N, it was no different. UPenn decided to do online classes with the risk of COVID being very high to keep everyone safe. While it was a good idea, it put a lot of stress on her. There was also some confusion with her classes regarding her major at the beginning of the semester. This year has been a mess, so far. 

Finals week was no help. Fortunately for Y/N, today was her last day of finals. Currently, she was sitting in the office in her and her boyfriend, Matisse's, apartment. She was staring at her computer screen, getting ready to take her last final. She had already turned in all her projects, so all there was left was a test for her English class. 

She takes a sip of her coffee and starts her test. She feels a huge wave of exhaustion hit her as she reads the first question, but she looks it over anyway. She was paying way too much money to fail. 

Then, there's a knock on the door. "Come in!" she calls out. 

The door opens to reveal Matisse, and he smiles at her. "Hey," he says. "I just wanted to check in. I know you've been really stressed out lately." 

Y/N smiles at him. "That's very sweet of you," she says. "And I'm doing okay. I just have to get these exams done."

Matisse nods at her. "Okay, babe. Just let me know if you need anything." 

Y/N nods at him. "Okay, babe. I love you." 

He smiles at her. "I love you, too." He closes the door and leaves her alone.

Y/N gets halfway through her test and sees that she had to do a short response for her last question. She groans and feels even more exhausted. She types her answer, stopping to give her brain a small break before turning back to her test. 

Y/N finishes the last question and immediately clicks submit. She sighs in relief as she shuts her laptop and puts her head in her hands, feeling all the stress leave her body. However, the stress was leaving in tears, rather than taking deep breaths. 

Matisse gets up from the couch to go check on his girlfriend. He walks into the office and hears Y/N sniffling. He walks up to her, concern etching on his face. "Hey," he says, kneeling down next to her chair. "What's going on, babe?" He rubs her back gently. 

Y/N sniffles and wipes her tears. "I don't know what's going on," she says, sniffling again. "I've just been so stressed, lately, with finals, and I've been holding it all in until now. It's all hitting me now." He nods as he listens to her. "But now, I feel like I've failed and-" she gets cut off. 

Matisse stops her. "Hey, listen to me." He stands up and pulls her up with him. "Don't talk like that. Okay?" He cups her face in his hands, making her look at him. He wipes her tears before continuing. "You've worked so hard, lately. All of it is gonna pay off. I know you're gonna pass." 

Y/N nods at him. "Okay." She sniffles again.

Matisse smiles at her. "Trust me. Everything that you're doing right now is gonna pay off in the end." He tucks a piece of hair behind her ear. "Don't quit before the miracle happens." 

Y/N smiles back up at him, already feeling better. "Thank you, Tisse." 

He lays a sweet kiss on her forehead. "I love you."

She smiles back at him. "I love you, too." 

They meet for a passionate kiss. They pull away after a bit, and Matisse takes her up to bed to let her get some rest. 

~The Next Day~

Y/N wakes up and feels the other side of the bed, expecting her boyfriend to be lying next to her. She gets confused when the space is cold and empty. However, all that is wiped away when she smells something cooking. She gets out of bed and walks out to the kitchen to see Matisse putting eggs and bacon on two plates. She smiles and walks up to him. "You made breakfast?" she asks. 

Matisse looks up from the plates. "I was gonna wake you up to surprise you," he says, pouting as he puts the empty pan in the sink. 

Y/N giggles at him. "Well, you did surprise me." She wraps her arms around his torso. "Thank you for making breakfast." 

Matisse smiles down at her and hugs her back. "No problem." He pecks her lips as they grab their plates. "You've been working way too hard, so you deserve a nice breakfast."

Y/N smiles as she sees fresh coffee the way she liked. She looks at her boyfriend, impressed. "There's coffee, too?" Matisse smiles and sits down at the table. "I love this already."

Matisse smiles at her. "I love you." 

Y/N smiles back at him and sits next to him. "I love you, too." They kiss before they enjoy their breakfast.

Here you go, Angie!!! I hope you liked it!!

Also, I just wanna remind everyone of this. Just because it's a new year, it does not mean we can start to ignore this pandemic. We're barely learning new things about the virus, and we have to continue to take this seriously. So, please, for the love of all that is good, keep practicing social distancing, and keep wearing your masks. 

And (this is just out of curiosity), before I go, tell me you're not afraid of the COVID vaccine without actually telling me you're not afraid of the COVID vaccine. I'll go first: I'm currently living in a dorm in the middle of a pandemic because my university cares more about money than actual human lives. 

Stay safe, my loves💙💙💙
