Kita sat quietly across from you, his eyes scanning the pages of his textbook with the same focused determination he applied to everything in his life. He had always been the type to give his all, even when studying, and tonight was no different. The room was calm, just the soft scratch of pens on paper and the occasional flip of a page. It was peaceful, and though you both had been diligently working for hours, there was a shared sense of calm between the two of you.
However, as he glanced up from his notes, Kita noticed that you had stopped writing some time ago. Your pen rested idle in your hand, and when he looked over, he saw your eyes were shut, your head tilted slightly toward the desk. He paused for a moment, observing the quiet serenity of your sleep.
A small smile tugged at his lips. You had been working hard, and he could see the exhaustion catching up with you. Still, he couldn’t let you sleep through the whole study date—not when there were still things to cover. He leaned forward slightly, gently setting his book down and getting up from his seat.
“Hey,” he said, standing beside you. His tone was calm as he spoke. “It’s time to wake up, you can’t be taking naps now.” He placed a hand gently on your shoulder, giving it a shake. “Come on, we’ve got more work to do.” As you stirred, Kita gave you his expressionless look he always had, his voice low as he asked. "How are you so bad at studying?"
