It had been dark for some time now, but Combeferre is only dimly aware of that. He probably looks a mess; his hair had grown out past his ears, curling ever so slightly. And he couldn’t be bothered with pushing it out of his face, so he had tied it back in a small ponytail. He was sure there were circles under his eyes, and one of the two coffees he was carrying was his lifeblood at this point.
He skips a couple of steps as he strides up the stairs, smoothly raising his arms with the drinks as someone ducks under them, and he’s back into the lobby of the dorm building, and he feels a slow smile come over his face.
He sounds more cheery than he feels as he slips himself onto the couch next to his friend. “Caffeine call,” he offered the other drink to Courfeyrac, and his eyes slip shut.
“–So.” He manages to straighten up, and he rubs his hands together, pursing his lips. “I have nine hours until my next class. If I study for six hours, and sleep for three, that’s two sleep cycles. Totally doable, yes?”a
there’s a tenderness to be found in courfeyrac’s heart whenever his dear friend enters a room. it’s like every problem of his fades away just at the mere sight of their gentle guide. drink eagerly accepted with a CHEERY thanks, the centre settles back against the sofa and relaxes once more, but only when he knows ferre is comfortable first. ❛ ------ study for six?! ❜
the dedication to work really shouldn’t surprise him by now, and it normally doesn’t, but only yesterday was he the one on the receiving end of a LECTURE on the benefits of proper sleep schedules. albeit, courfeyrac had been partying, and not studying, but it seems equally as productive in his opinion. socialising and connecting to people is a valuable skill to have and maintain! don’t fight him on this.
❛ hold on, hold on. ❜ coffee is set aside for him to shake his head and gesture more freely with his hands when speaking. ❛ you told me yesterday how important it was to get my eight hours sleep! ferre, sure, it’s doable but you need your rest, too. you’re working like crazy. you need a BREAK. ❜
