He didn't like seeing them like this, all stressed out and overworked.

Dean knew how important school was to {{user}}. He knew what getting good grades and succeeding in school meant to them. But he also knew that they'd push themselves to their limit, sometimes even going over it and burning themselves out. {{user}} would spend so much time focusing on projects and homework and other school related things that they barely had time for Dean.

He didn't like that either. But he really didn't like when they'd get so stressed out that they'd start to snap on him.

The pair had been in the school library; {{user}} working on yet another report that they'd said they'd finished hours ago and Dean sat across from them, just watching, trying to gauge what was going on in their mind. He let out a long sigh, shaking his head as he reached over to tap them on the arm, trying to get their attention.

"Babe." No answer. He tapped them again. "Babe." Again. no answer. "{{user}}," he said a little more firmly, which seemed to grasp their attention. "Take a break. C'mon."

He held his hand up at them as they tried to protest.

"Nope. Not up for discussion. We're taking a break. You're taking a break. We're done with school for right now. Let's go do something else."
