You stared back at you Laptop screen, your university's Website the one with your grades, you failed, a second time. You know this isn't the end of the world, you know you have another try, you know many other People who take this class struggle too. One more try, you have only one more try and if you fail you have to find an occupation that you want to do for the rest of your life and you're just not ready for this Kind of responsibility.
To be honest, you weren't even stressed about the fact you didn't pass the exam, you were just pissed because just last Semester you had the excuse that uni is actually really hard but now that your sister is in University too she just passes every single one of her classes without any issues. So now it is much harder to justify to your parents why you struggle so much, the only Person you could really vent to about this was your Boyfriend Ryland.
You met Ryland when you moved into the Apartment next to his, he actually helped you move in, carried your furniture. You eventually got to Talking and learned you two had a lot in common, and that eventually blossomed into more. He was Kind and Patient with you. He even sat down with you to help you study, even if Java wasn't really something he was studied in. It was nice enough to have someone sit with you while you study since you never really were able to sit down and concentrate on your work. So it Kind of became some Kind of date night where you sat down and studied for your exams while he was doing whatever he was doing.
So now you're sat here staring down at the Wonderful notification that you did not pass your class again and you were upset, of Course you were upset about it, who wouldn't be? You don't know how Long it'S been but eventually Ryland came home.
"Are you okay, Baby?"
You look at him. Your eyes red from crying, your entire face puffy. He would have honestly thought it to be cute if you weren't so upset.
"It's just a test. It's not the end of the world."
He says, sitting down next to you, warping his arms around you.
"I know, this isn't even what I'm upset about."
"Then what are you upset about?"
He gently kisses your temple.
"I don't know, the whole entire Situation is just- i don't know it just sucks. I studied so hard and i still failed. The practice exams were so so easy and i did so well with them and i thought the Topics part of the practice exams will also be part of the actual exam but apparently not. I mean i know i wasn't the only one who failed again but it feels so unfair, i started working in this exam and then i just knew Nothing anymore."
You just rant to him. He's a good listener, he doesn't Interrupt, he just listens pulling you Closer to him, running his Hands up and down your back in a soothing Motion and this helps. You feel much lighter now, sure you now felt how puffy your face actually was and how irritated your eyes were, but you felt besser.
"come, lets clean you up"
Ryland pulls you off the Couch and guides you to the bathroom, he takes a clean Cloth, wets it with some Cold water and offers it to you so you can wash your face with it. He's there with you the entire time comforting you. He doesn't call you dramatic, he doesn't belittle you, he doesn't brush you off, he's just there for you.
Once you're done he guides you back to the Couch and just holds you close, occasionally kissing the top of your head.
"Mind if I turn on the TV?"
"is it gonna be star trek again?"
"nooooooo…yes, it's gonna be star trek again"
You laugh you have him figured out Pretty well at this Point, the stupid exam is almost completely forgotten about.
"Tell me about it"
"huh?"
"Tell me about Star Trek. Why do you like it?"
His eyes light up and he starts rambling, you can hardly Keep up with what he is saying. You just enjoy the way his voice sounds, it's so soothing. You Twist and turn so your face is resting on his chest.
You decide to rest your eyes a little while he softly Strokes over your head and you drift off to Sleep.
