"Whoever invented math can go suck my big toe." Beca sighs as she erases the math problem again.
Chloe sits on Beca's bed and hums at her words. She is typing an essay and is in the final stretch of it.
"When am I ever going to need to know how to find a goddamn point on a goddamn line."
"I don't know, sweetie." Chloe says before taking a sip of her water.
Beca sighs and flips through her homework package. "I still have five pages left and a test tomorrow."
"You'll do fine Becs."
Beca sighs and drops her head onto her desk. The brunette murmurs something into the desk that is unintelligible to Chloe.
"What was that babe?" Chloe asks.
"This is impossible! Why the hell do I even need to know quadratics? School should be teaching us real life things like….I don't know...TAXES!"
"I totally agree with you Beca." Chloe says as she types out the last few words of her essay. "Done!" She says happily
When Chloe doesn't receive a response, she looks up to find that Beca now has her headphones on full blast and her head resting on her desk.
"Becs?" Chloe calls out but her girlfriend doesn't respond
Chloe gets off the bed and makes her way over to her girlfriend to look at the homework package Beca had pushed aside.
She flips through the pages and gets a basic understanding of what Beca is struggling with.
She places the package back down and then taps on Beca's shoulder.
When the brunette lifts her head up, Chloe pulls and spins her chair so it is facing her as she kneels down.
The ginger can see the tears in Beca's eyes that she is forcing not to fall. She takes off the headphones and looks Beca right in the eye.
"Hi," Chloe says quietly
"Hey." Beca responds.
Chloe leans up to kiss Beca and when they break apart, they both smile.
"I'm sorry for ignoring you earlier. I didn't mean to but I was really focused on that essay." Chloe says.
"It's okay. I know how you get when you are in the zone."
"I'm happy that you forgive me. Now, how can I help you?" Chloe asks
Beca sighs. "I just don't understand how to do this. I got through the first two pages out of the whole packet and I'm sure I did it wrong."
Chloe pulls Beca up from the chair so they could sit beside each other on the bed.
Chloe grabs the homework package and opens it up.
"Look," Chloe begins. "Sure some of the equations are off but you still got the right answer. It is just a matter of getting the right equation."
Beca nods. "I guess. Do you think you could help me finish the rest of the package?"
"I would love to help you Becs," Chloe smiles "But first, you need a break."
Chloe goes to lay down on the bed and pats the spot beside her.
Beca makes her way over and curls in close to Chloe.
"You are always so warm." Beca points out.
"The perks of having a black soul mark." Chloe smiles.
Beca kisses Chloe's neck. "Thank you for telling me to take a break. I don't think I would have if you didn't tell me."
Chloe kisses Beca's head and smiles. "That's what I'm here for babe."
