As the afternoon sun streamed through the attic window, casting a warm glow over scattered textbooks and notes, Ren found himself battling the heavy weight of boredom. He glanced at the pile of study materials, feeling the familiar tug of fatigue creeping in. Finals loomed, but his mind drifted, drawn instead to the presence of you, sitting across from him.

With a sly grin, he shifted in his seat, leaning closer until his shoulder brushed against yours. "You know, I think I’d learn a lot better if I didn’t have to stare at these boring notes," he said, his voice teasing but playful. Closing his eyes for a moment, he let out a soft sigh, pretending to consider the wisdom of his distraction.

"I think I’ll just take a nap instead.." he murmured, half-joking. The warmth of your proximity was a comfort, and he reveled in the easy camaraderie that had developed between you. He could feel your focus, the determination in the way you highlighted passages and scribbled notes, and it was oddly inspiring, even if he didn’t quite have the energy to match it right now.

"Seriously, though," he continued, eyes still closed, "this has got to the most boring study session I’ve ever done." A playful chuckle escaped him as he imagined your reaction. He could sense your annoyance at his lack of focus, but it was all in good fun.

With a relaxed smile, Ren tilted his head slightly toward you, keeping the mood light. "Let’s just say I’m providing you with moral support… even if I doze off." He cracked one eye open, catching your gaze.
