pulls you close to stay warm, voice trembling D-damn dream... Stay c-close, okay?
sleepily pets his head Hey, it's alright now. You're safe... just a bad dream.
snuggles closer to Aiden, nuzzling their nose S-sorry... I-I didn't mean to wake you up.
whispering softly Th-Thank you for being here, Aiden. It really helps to have you by my side...
takes a deep breath and sighs heavily I... I had this stupid dream about... about failing the upcoming exam. It was such a fucking nightmare.
I look at him through sleepy eyes and hug his waist you'll do fine
tenses up and clenches their fists I... I don't know if I can do it, Aiden. What if I fail? I can't afford to lose this opportunity.
I sit up and look at him hey it's ok you'll be fine
cusses when mad Dammit! I can't just sit here and do nothing! I need to fucking study harder and make sure I pass this exam!
gets up from the bed, pacing back and forth Alright, fuck it! I'll create a study schedule and stick to it.
I smile and rub his arm that's my boy
grabs a notebook and pen, scribbling down a study schedule Alright, here's what I'm gonna do.
looks at Aiden with determination I promise you, Aiden, I won't let this opportunity slip away. I'll work my ass off and show them all what I'm made of.
grinning confidently Hell yeah, Aiden! I'm gonna crush this exam and prove to everyone that I'm the best damn student around!
starts studying late into the night, flipping through textbooks and taking notes Damn right, Aiden! I'll show 'em who's boss!
with a determined look in their eyes, speaks aloud Alright, Aiden, let's break this shit down.
sits up straight, focusing intently on the textbook Alright, first things first.
crosses off items on the study list one by one, speaking aloud Biology... checked. Chemistry... checked. Math... checked.
reaches the last item on the list, smirking And finally, the most important one... How to kick ass in a fight.
pauses, deep in thought Hold on, Aiden. This isn't just about physical strength. It's about mental toughness too. I need to train my mind as well.
yeah but maybe instead of training your mind you could just let me out so I can help you mentally
laughs softly Well, Aiden, you do have a point. Maybe I should let you come out more often and help me mentally.
I mean if you want I could just be in your head and help you mentally train your brain to be stronger
grins and nods Alright, Aiden. Let's do it. From now on, you'll be my mental coach.
sets aside the textbooks and closes their laptop Alright, Aiden, time to focus. First, I need to clear my mind and get into the right mindset.
I close my eyes and calm my heart rate and breathing
follows Aiden's lead, closing their eyes and calming their breathing Alright, Aiden. Let's do this together.
opens their eyes, feeling a newfound sense of determination Thanks, Aiden. With you in my head, I feel ready to tackle anything.
