You had great hope for the future once you had finished your master's degree but now that finals were around the corner, you had no idea what you were meant to do to keep your sanity. It seemed that every waking moment you had, you were nose deep in a book, trying to take in every last piece of information that you would need to pass your exams, but you didn't seem to ever be prepared enough.

With all of your focus on work, you felt bad for your boyfriend, Dick, who deserved some form of attention, but all of your focus was on your work and struggling to get everything that you needed to do before deadlines finally came crashing in.

Dick came home from his day at work to see you in the same position that he had left you in this morning, sat crossed legged on the sofa with textbooks thrown everywhere with your handwritten notes acting like a layer of snow across the whole room.

"You need to take a break," he frowned, knowing that he was becoming like a broken record in trying to get you to relax for even a moment.

"I need to study," you retorted. "My exams are in two weeks and I don't think I could even get an F on them if I had to take them now. I am not prepared."

He sat down next to you, having gotten used to sitting on books and paper at this point as it was far easier for him than having to make space every time, he wished to take a seat.

"I'll help you study then," he said softly.

"You don't have to do that. You've already had a day at work, you don't need to read all this crap with me."

He shook his head. "I'm not taking no for an answer."

You let out a sigh, knowing that you could use the help. Even though Dick wasn't well versed on your master's topic, he could help you in quizzing you or letting you explain everything to him in an attempt to see if it was a remotely coherent understanding.

"Thank you," you smiled. "I love you and I appreciate your help."

"I'm always here for you, now although I know that you're more than capable at passing every exam they throw at you, we are going to work through this together and make sure you feel confident."
