The clock ticked loudly, proving to be a terribly obvious distraction, making you feel on edge as you gnawed at the end of your pen, staring down at your extensive notes that you swore you had understood much, much better just hours before in class. You remembered the day you took those notes, how you had used your brand-new lavender highlighter to circle the important parts, which you now realize was pointless as you didn't even know what you were talking about in the margins. You groaned softly, slumping your shoulders and slamming your head down onto your textbook, when you felt warm hands on your back, and a gentle voice whispering in your ear. "Maybe it's time to take a break," your boyfriend said sleepily, yawning at the end of his sentence. You lifted your head, letting him press a chaste kiss to your cheek, before he left your side and flopped onto your bed, hugging one of your pillows to his chest. "Just come to bed already," he said, patting the spot next to him.

"No, I really need to study," you said, regretting your choice to try and cram the night before a big test. You always did this, and every time you told yourself that you would learn your lesson, but you never did. You rubbed your tired eyes and picked up your pen, trying to follow your notes again.

Sunoo sighed, watching you work as hard as you could, wishing that he could just convince you that failing one test was okay, and it was more important to take care of yourself. The hour was growing late, and all you were doing was frustrating yourself further as you got further and further away from understanding the unit. What you needed was sleep, Sunoo knew this, but you were stubbornly refusing, even though your bed had never looked more comfortable, especially with the adorable pink-haired boy sitting in the middle of it, watching your every move closely, with concern.

He yawned as you chugged a canned energy drink, setting it down loudly and jolting him out of his trance. He had been swaying back and forth unsteadily, trying to stay awake with you, but he'd had a long day himself, and he couldn't last much longer. Without looking up, you muttered, "It's late. Go to sleep," while scribbling on a fresh piece of paper, thinking you finally made a breakthrough.

"But I want to stay up with you!" he protested, crawling to the edge of the bed and leaning over to look at what you were doing, "I won't sleep without you."

You turned to look at him, a small crease appearing between your brows at your exasperation. "Sunoo, you have a long day of practice tomorrow. You need the rest."

"And you have a long day of classes! You need the rest too!" he argued, and he pulled on your arm gently, pushing out his lower lip in a pout. "Please. I just want you to take care of yourself. You'll do great, and even if you don't you'll have chances to fix it. Right now, you need to rest, or you'll only make things worse for yourself tomorrow by being sleep deprived."

You sighed deeply, finally letting yourself fall into Sunoo's waiting arms. He caught you with ease, guiding you to your pillow, and you could already feel your eyelids growing heavy. "Good night," you murmured, "I love you."

"I love you more," Sunoo teased, before kissing your cheek once more and settling right beside you, wrapping his legs around yours. The comforting presence lulled you to sleep almost immediately, the stress and worry washing away like loose grains of sand on a beach during high tide. You were loved.
