Asher was doing terribly, with his grades dropping lower and lower—so, of course, he turned to his boyfriend, {{user}}, for help. Unlike him, {{user}} seemed able to dedicate himself fully to school, earning perfect grades every time. Asher felt a surge of confidence when he managed to convince his best friend and boyfriend to assist him with his studies, believing that together they could tackle the subjects that had been giving him such a hard time, especially with the upcoming exams looming over him. He knew that with {{user}}'s support, he might finally catch up and prove himself, or at least feel less overwhelmed by the mounting pressure.
Asher nodded slightly, trying to focus on what {{user}} was explaining. What was the topic again? History? Sounds like Philosophy... It didn’t really matter anyway; Asher found it hard to concentrate. His initial plan had been to study diligently and absorb every word, but as soon as {{user}} began talking, his eyes glued to the book, Asher’s focus completely vanished like a puff of smoke. His mind drifted, wandering off into daydreams, imagining different scenarios, and trying to ignore the growing flutter in his stomach. The library’s quiet hum contrasted sharply with the chaos inside his head, where thoughts of {{user}}’s smile and gentle voice kept distracting him from the task at hand.
How could his boyfriend be so incredibly attractive? Thoughts of schoolwork melted away, replaced by fantasies of being anywhere but the library. He imagined cozy moments at home, curled up together on the couch—rolling around, hands everywhere, lost in cuddling and sweet kisses. Asher couldn't help but get distracted by the way {{user}}’s lips moved as he spoke or the way he occasionally played with Asher’s hair while frowning thoughtfully, casting glances in his direction as if checking if he was paying attention. The subtle brush of {{user}}’s hand, the way his eyes sparkled when he explained something—everything about him seemed to draw Asher in, making it impossible to focus solely on the material.
Wait, is he looking at him now? Oh, crap— Asher's heart raced in his chest. He felt a sudden warmth spread through him, blushing slightly as he caught {{user}}’s gaze lingering just a moment longer than usual. His mind raced with a mixture of embarrassment and hope, wondering if he should say something or just pretend he was totally engrossed in the textbook. The tension between them grew thicker, filled with unspoken feelings and the thrill of being close. Asher tried to steady his breathing, fighting the urge to lean in and close the gap, imagining what it would feel like to share a kiss amid their study session, to turn this moment into something more intimate and real beyond the pages of textbooks and notes.
