Be Alright || Sweet Pea
warning(s): crying“-And the way she talked to me, I was offended. She was definitely disrespecting me and she wasn’t hiding it at all. I was fed up with it so I walked out of the classroom.” Fangs scoffed, going on about a teacher who was unnecessarily rude to him.
“Remember, we’re trying to keep it cool.” Toni reminded the serpent. They didn’t want to get kicked out, despite being surrounded by Northsiders.
“I know. But I wasn’t gonna let her disrespect me like that. If it were anything else, I would’ve kept my mouth shut.” Fangs retorted.
“Yeah, no offense, but if any teacher disrespected me, I’d blow up. I don’t care that they’re my elder, that doesn’t mean they can disrespect me.” Sweet Pea chimed into the conversation. He took a brief moment to glance at his girlfriend who sat beside him, scribbling away on a lined index card.
Her neat handwriting was scattered all over. She looked deeply invested in whatever she was working on. And she was. (Y/N) was writing notes. Her history exam was coming up and they were allowed to bring an index card with notes. That was it. She went back and forth from reading through her binder notes to writing on her index card.
Fangs wasn’t too happy with this and lightly kicked her under the table. “(Y/N), pay attention to me.” whined her friend. It was innocent, he meant well.
“Sorry, I’m a little busy.” (Y/N) sighed. Her eyes didn’t leave her binder.
Fangs wasn’t having it. What could be more important than him? His eyes flickered between Toni and Sweet Pea as he gestured for them to be quiet, with a zip of his lips. Being discreet, Fangs reached over towards (Y/N) and yanked her mechanical pencil from her hand.
Letting out a stressed huff of air, (Y/N) turned her head towards Fangs. It was evident that she wasn’t amused as she stood to her feet, trying to reach for her pencil.
“Fangs, please give me my pencil back.” (Y/N) begged as he held the pencil over her head, earning laughs from the other serpents. They even called towards Fangs to pass them the pencil. Soon, it turned into a game of monkey in the middle, (Y/N) being the monkey.
Sweet Pea could see her facial expression. Whatever she was working on was clearly important to her. As (Y/N)’s pencil was tossed in the air, Sweet Pea stood and caught it with one hand, placing it back in front of (Y/N). He earned boos from his peers of being a party pooper. He ignored them.
That wasn’t the end of it though. One of the serpents thought it’d be funny to snatch up (Y/N)’s index card. The one she’d invested so much time on, writing so tiny so she could fit in all of what she might forget.
“Elijah, I’m not in the mood.” (Y/N) announced as he waved it around in her face. She lifted herself from her feet and caught a grip of the index card.
Shrrrrip
The quiet-like sound silenced the bunch of rowdy serpents. (Y/N)’s face hardened. It was like she couldn’t believe what happened because it took her a while to react. She could not even comprehend that so much of her work-
She brought one of the halves of the index card to her face, blinking a few times. Then she realized. Hours of work was gone. She didn’t explode like everyone thought she would. She was silent, which was even more scary.
(Y/N) let out a choked out gasp.
“(Y/N), I’m s-“
“Don’t.” she clenched her jaw, snatching the other half that was in Elijah’s hand. “Don’t open your mouth because the next time you do, it will be full of my fist and you’ll be choking on your own blood.”
(Y/N) didn’t know what to do in that instance. Her heartbeat was racing. She was so angry, annoyed, frustrated, upset - all at the same time.
“Babe,” Sweet Pea called as (Y/N) began to pack up her things in a hurry.
“I wanna go home Pea. Take me home please.”
“But-“
“I want to go home Sweet Pea.” she didn’t understand why that was so hard for Sweet Pea to understand. It was clear that she wasn’t planning on spending another minute at the Wyrm. Tears brimmed her eyes out of frustration, she’d really spent so much time trying to save her grade and it was going all to waste.
“Baby, why you crying?” Sweet Pea then knew it was serious. He didn’t even hesitate to help her gather her things and pull her to the side.
“Because,” (Y/N) felt it all at once. The heavy pressure on her chest that caused her to swallow the large lump in her throat and cry out. “I’ve just been trying to pass all of my tests and exams. I really have been trying. I’ve been slacking all term and these last few weeks have been my only chance to redeem myself and these were my notes to my exam for tomorrow and now it’s ripped and,” she paused to wipe a tear. Sweet Pea pulled (Y/N) in his arms, causing her to let out a whimper.
“Baby, baby, baby.” he tutted, swaying her back and forth. “You’ve been stressing out so much.“ he let his thumb rub into her shoulder, kissing her forehead. “Hey, it’s gonna be alright. You hear me?” the tall serpent wiped her tears away.
He couldn’t help but make note of how beautiful she looked, even when she was crying. Tears stained her puffy cheeks, snot was forming in her nose and with how hard and heavy she was breathing, he was surprised she hadn’t blown a nasty snot bubble and floated away. Her eyes that he adored so much were red and irritated.
“You’ve looked over those notes so many times. Do you realize that? I’ve watched you everyday in the past few weeks, rereading your history notes. And then you relook at your Spanish quizzes, then you study every single formula that we learned from the beginning of the year! Do you know how insane that is?” Sweet Pea tucked her hair from her face as she continued to cry. “Your brain needs time. You can’t study all of this the way you do and expect your brain to remember all of it.” he saw her face contort with worry. “But it’ll be alright. You’ve just gotta take it in one at a time.” he held her head in his large hands, running his thumb along her cheekbones.
Sweet Pea brought (Y/N) face closer to his, resting his forehead against hers. Her big eyes stared right back into his. “I’m gonna help you study, okay? We’ll go home and rewrite your notes. I’ll stay up to finish writing them if you need me to. But we’re only looking at your history notes, you are not allowed to touch your other papers. We’ll go slowly, so you won’t have to use as much space for your notes. Okay baby?” (Y/N) nodded her head with a sniffle. “I need to hear you say it.”
“We’re gonna study. Slowly.”
“And?”
“I am not to l-look at my notes from other c-classes.” she answered in between sniffles and hiccups.
“Atta girl.” Sweet Pea gave his girl a small smile. “Relax. Everything will be alright. And if you don’t pass, which I doubt will happen, I will personally show up to Garcia’s class and make him pass you. No one’s studied harder than you.”
This made her smile. Giggle, even. She nodded her head, her cheeks brightening up. For the first time, it wasn’t because she was angry-flustered.
“Have I ever told you how much I love you?” (Y/N) wrapped her arms around his torso, in which he hugged her back tightly.
“Yes, you have. But I wouldn’t mind hearing it another time,” he teased with a grin. (Y/N) broke out into a smile while rolling her eyes.
“Thank you, by the way.”
“Don’t thank me yet. Thank me when you pass.”
