Summary: Sakuno's having a bit of trouble with her English homework...

---

"Hmm... ?"

Ryoma awoke to a trembling lap he used as a pillow and overhead pencil scratches from his sound slumber. He turned his head to face upward, gaze meeting the frantic face of Sakuno. She had a far gone expression on her face. Forfeiture. And after he could swear all of that noisy note jotting was causing her notebook pages to smoke.

An amused smirk played at the corner of his lips. She was going to end up killing herself over the next big English exam if she didn't cool it.

"O-oh, I'm sorry I woke you up, Ryoma-kun. I was just... "

"Let me see that."

With little hesitation, Sakuno slipped her notebook into his hand. Cat-like eyes scanned the little study guide, and the answers to the practice questions. It was really such a simple subject, and she wasn't doing nearly as bad as she thought. Perhaps she was just being overly cautious.

"You get the basic idea. Just figure out which plurals need an 'S' at the end and which ones don't and you'll be good."

Sakuno was handed back her notebook. The tennis prodigy pulled his hat down over his eyes to shield them from raining eraser specks, and went right back to his nap.

A/N: I guess it's not the most original concept, but cute, nonetheless.
