So, I was remembering back to the exams episode of Soul Eater (can't remember the exact number) as I was lying in bed and this came to mind. Maybe if Black Star had the right motivation, he could have studied, leaving him no need to steal the answers, and maybe then he wouldn't have been tacked to the wall. Then one thing led to another and next thing you know I'm at my computer desk opening word. So, here's the reason I can't sleep! Yay teenage obsessions!

"... I can't do this,"

"You haven't tried," Soul sighed and looked at his boyfriend.

"Yes I have. That's how I know I can't do it. Can't we do something more fun? Like- OH! I know! Basketball!" Black Star grinned and pushed away the text book in front of him.

"No, we have finals tomorrow. We need to study. Finish these pages, and then we can go play basketball until you pass out," Soul said as he flipped to a page in the text book.

"But I can't do it!" Black Star whined and slumped forward onto the table.

"You could if you try. Come on! Just read, the answer's in the context,"

"Okay! I can do this!" Black Star took a deep breath and stared determinedly at the work lying in front of him. Soul smiled softly and turned back to his own book.

"Gyah! I can't do this!" The blue headed boy cried and fell backwards onto the soft carpet underneath them.

Soul sighed and closed his book, turning to the other boy who was sitting back up.

"Alright, you need some determination. Lets make a deal," Soul said as he ripped a sheet of paper from his notebook and slid it across the table towards Black Star, "I'll read you off some questions out of the book, write them down and for every answer correct, you get one night as seme,"

"One night seme, you say? Alright! You've got a deal!" Black Star grinned as he took the paper and pen determinedly.

The next hour was spent by Soul reading out random questions, to which Black Star would take a few seconds of staring into space before hesitantly scribbling down an answer.

"Okay, that's it. Let's see how you've done," Soul said as he held out his hand for the paper.

Black Star frowned and looked over the parchment, before cautiously placing the paper in Soul's hand. The crimson-eyed teen looked over the messy handwriting, occasionally returning his eyes to his book to check answers.

"I don't believe this," He stated, his mouth hung open and eyes wide. Black Star grinned wickedly, "All of these are r-right. How-?" Soul stuttered as he continued to stare between the paper and textbook.

"How many questions were there? Forty-five?" Black Star crossed his arms, "I think I'll take one of my seme grants right now," He grinned and pounced on the snowy-haired teen.


Ahh. So short! Sorry about that...
