late nights: akaashi keiji

summary: studying for midterms is always stressful, but sometimes someone's there to take that stress away.

When she first started studying for her midterm, she was only planning on going for an hour, probably less than that. What she had forgotten was that her roommate was visiting her parents since she lived close enough to the college to go home on the weekends. Her roommate helped her remember to take breaks. Reminded her that studying for hours at a time would do more harm than good. Without her there, she had completely lost track of time.

She was pushing three hours of studying. She was running on four cups of tea and the fear of failure. Midterms are stressful enough, but for one of the classes it was a prerequisite for a class she needed to graduate. So, if she didn't pass this class, she wouldn’t be able to take the class she needed until she redid the prerequisite and passed it. This would throw off the entire academic plan she had made.

To try and make it less stressful and also block out distractions, she had her favorite noise-canceling headphones on. They were pretty beat up from being used throughout all of high school and into college. She didn't care how they looked though, the only thing she cared about was the sound quality and how well they blocked out the noise around her. Blasting her music from a playlist she had made specifically for when she was stressed helped make the studying process less draining but one could only study for so long before getting frustrated with everything and anything.

Her frustration had reached the point where she was rereading the same line over and over, unable to process the words in the book. She decided now was the perfect time for a small break to refill her cup of tea before she did any more studying. She grabbed her favorite mug and went to go refill the eclectic kettle she got before starting college. Just as she went to leave her dorm room her phone started ringing. She put the kettle and mug down before grabbing her phone. There were only a couple of people it could be since she had her phone on do not disturb mode. It was either her roommate, her parents, or Akaashi.

Akaashi was her salvation in the hell that is midterm season. He made sure she was eating, and not just the ramen packets that she stocked up on. He would bring her healthy food. He made sure she was drinking enough water and not just tea or coffee or whatever caffeinated beverage she could get her hands on. The most recent thing Akaashi had started doing to take care of her was make sure she was getting proper sleep. She used to constantly stay up late and just scroll on her phone while she laid in bed. Now, if he sees she's online she'll get a text telling her to go to bed. She'll send a remark back about how he's still awake too. They'll go back and forth for a bit before they finally agree to both just go to bed.

So, when she sees that it's him calling her, she knows exactly what he's going to say as soon as she answers.

"Go to bed."

"No hello? No how are you? Not even a 'What are you doing up?'" She snarked. Usually, she would've been a little bit warmer to him. Still snarky and sarcastic but with a more playful lilt to her voice. Maybe she was more tired and exhausted than she previously had guessed.

"You know that I know why you're up," He drily replied. This is true. She knows that he was probably going through the same stress and anxiety that she was. It's part of the reason that right now, during midterms, she's been much less resistant to the constant care. She knows that it lets him focus on something else for a bit and it also allows her to make sure that he is taking care of himself as well.

She moves to sit down on her bed while she talks to him. "Okay yea I do, but I still have a lot more chapters to study to make sure I cover all my bases for this class." It's starting to gnaw at her again. The voice that always rests in the back of her mind. Sometimes it's really loud, telling her that she isn't enough. That she will never be able to reach her goals. That it's better if she doesn't reach them anyways because someone better suited for it will come along. Though sometimes, it's really silent. Whenever Akaashi is nearby, the voice seems to vanish. There are times, on really bad days, that it'll still quietly whisper the insecurities even with him there. But all it takes is one or two reassurances from him and it's gone again.

Akaashi was soft, but stern when he spoke. "You don't need to study the entire book to know the material. You will pass the midterm and you'll pass it with flying colors. You are one of the top students in that class." She's not sure why she's surprised that he knows what class she's talking about. He's always been very attentive to the little things.

She takes a deep breathe to help steady her emotions. "I don't feel like I know the material enough." Her answer is quiet, but so very truthful. All through her life she's had a hard time believing in her academic ability and it got even more difficult when she started her college classes.

It's quiet for a moment. She can hear his breathing over the phone, and she relaxed a little bit more. "Okay this is what we're going to do. We're both going to go to bed right now. We're going to put a pin in where we were studying. In the morning, after we've both gotten some sleep, will study together in the library," he told her. As much as she wants to fight back, as much as she feels like she needs to study now, she knows this is the best plan of action. If not for her, then for him.

"Okay. Yea, okay that works." She thinks over if she wants to say what's on her mind. After weighing her options of say nothing and just finish up the call or say what she wants and potentially get him to agree. Deciding that the potential agreement is worth it, she speaks up. "Um can I ask a favor?"

The response is immediate. "Always."

"Can we stay on call while we sleep? I know it's not particularly good for our phones or whatever but—" He cuts her off, "Yea we can stay on the phone." She can hear the smile on his face, and she grins at the thought of it. She thanks him before she gets out of her bed, putting her phone on speaker, to start preparing to actually go to sleep. She can hear shuffling around on his side from where she assumes he's also getting ready for bed. While they got ready, they talked about miscellaneous topics. Annoying classmates, what their roommates were doing, and what they've done since they last saw each other even if the last time they saw each other was yesterday.

When she was finally ready, she got back into bed and laid down, pulling the comforter on top of her. She heard more shuffling from where Akaashi was also getting into bed. For a moment she just listened to the barely-there staticky noise that came from the phone.

"Thank you, for y'know, always being there to take care of me," she whispered, not wanting to break the atmosphere that had developed. "Thank you for letting me," he responded.

They let it go back to silence as they both drifted off into sleep, goodnights left unsaid. Both eager to see each other when they woke up, even if it was to study. Yet it was both of their late-night studying habits that brought them here. Maybe studying wasn't that bad as long as they had each other.

an: this was something I had started about two years ago? I think? I found it in my docs and decided to finally finish it. this is also my first fanfic ever.. so i hope you enjoyed!

just wanted to update and say that I do plan on posting more content, I've just been struggling really bad with getting adjusted to uni on top of other things that have made my mental health take a turn for the worse.

all of it has made my motivation for writing and any inspiration I once had kinda just vanish. things seem to be getting better so I'm hoping that I'll be able to get back into writing here soon!
