because I'm studying for exams and it's 2 am let's talk about bktd studying together. ok just because they're some of the smartest kids in 1A doesn't mean they're exactly good at studying. put them together? disaster. let me explain.
alone, katsuki blasts music while he's studying. he also definitely air drums with his pencils and bounces his leg. he cannot stop moving. shouto is a bit quieter. he'll only have instrumental music playing in the back if any, because he says the lyrics distract him.
the two of them have to forgo music completely when together. they just can't decide on what song to listen to. the room is absolutely quiet save the sounds of pencil on paper and of course, shouto's nonsensical muttering to himself whenever he's working.
it drives katsuki up the wall. normally he thinks his love's voice is beautiful and very calming but if he has to hear shouto make one more joke about chemistry in a smug tone of voice he's going to start throwing rocks. and then he's going to chuck shouto out the window.
katsuki's handwriting is neat and pristine, even considering how furiously he scribbles away at his paper. when he hands over notes to shouto, he has no trouble understanding at all. now, shouto on the other hand, he needs two sets of notes.
his first set is all over the place; choppy sentences that sometimes don't make sense, extra notes scribbled in the margins, the occasional poorly drawn diagram. and of course, it wouldn't be his notes without at least 6 cat doodles and katsuki's name scribbled in the corners.
it's endearing of course. but katsuki can't fucking read them, so he makes shouto write a second, much neater set. katsuki of course keeps the first draft, stowed away in a manila folder for a rainy day.
what infuriates katsuki is how smart shouto is. well, not seriously of course. his boyfriend is fucking brilliant, and that's awesome, but sometimes, he needs to learn how to read the room.
it's not very convenient when katsuki is trying to study, and shouto has already dragged his way through the topic and is lounging around on the bed. he adopts a whiny tone in his voice, depositing himself in katsuki's lap and making himself at home.
"I'm bored," he says, drawing out the syllables. katsuki only grunts and shoves him slightly so he can actually fucking read the textbook. shouto huffs, because how dare katsuki give anything else attention other than him? a disgrace. (katsuki definitely knows he's dramatic.)
"I said, I'm bored," shouto repeats, more petulantly than before. katsuki grumbles in acknowledgement. shouto rolls his eyes and peers down at the material katsuki is going over. he pokes and prods at katsuki, at any part that he can reach. katsuki's eye ticks before he looks up.
shouto grins sheepishly. "You're studying too much." again, katsuki grumbles something underneath his breath about not every man being born equal. shouto listens with an amused smile on his face, leaning in, and pressing slightly chapped lips to his temple.
katsuki raises an eyebrow. "For encouragement," shouto simply replies, lips light against the skin of his cheekbone, then slowly dragging down to the corner of his lips. "You're a menace," katsuki finally says. shouto hums because he already knows that.
katsuki sighs, indulging shouto and turning towards him. shouto leans in for a kiss, but katsuki stops him, running a thumb along his plush bottom lip. "After I finish," he says. shouto narrows his eyes, settling into his lap further and wrapping his arms around katsuki.
"I'll wait," he says, nonchalant. katsuki gives a frustrated huff. he tries to focus again but shouto's thumb traces calming circles into the back of his nape. shouto's strawberry shampoo wafts into his nose as he draws closer. another kiss is pressed to his cheek.
katsuki groans, slamming his book shut and startling shouto. he hauls him over his shoulder, throwing him down on the bed and crawling over him, caging his body in. shouto's lips are curled up in a smirk. he wants to kick his ass so bad. Instead, he grits out, "Fine, you win."
shouto grins, kissing his lips and drawing him closer. katsuki's mind goes blank as soon as he's awarded with that smile. "Well...I always do," shouto whispers, and katsuki just has to kiss him stupid then.
they don't get any more studying done for the rest of the day.
