Meine Liebe ficlet: Examinations
463 words. G. A little bit of revision silliness.

As the exams grow closer Eduard takes to carrying at least one book round with him wherever he might go. He starts to look far more serious that usual and for the actual exam with probably even wear a cravat.
Orpherus tries not to giggle when he sees Eduard and Ludwig engaged in quiet, serious conversation over a pile of economics texts in the library.
Ludwig frowns in concentration before Eduard reaches for a scrap of paper to jot down the equations which will illustrate his point. And Orpherus flees before either of them can notice and badger him into revising.
He goes to talk to Naoji instead, who is far more personable during his self-imposed revision period. And finds the Japanese boy lying on his back on the floor of his rooms, arms folded behind his head, eyes closed, with a textbook lying open on his chest.
“Osmosis.” Naoji says before Orpherus can venture the question. So Orpherus grins and seats himself cross-legged on the floor to once more shuffle through his notes.
The day of the exam, in the queue outside the examination hall, Orpherus fiddles with his gloves, cautiously looking about for any sign of Eduard’s arrival. Beside him, Naoji stares at the ceiling idly or out of the window. Orpherus knows better than to attempt any conversation while they wait since Naoji is mostly likely to have spent the entirety of the night awake doing whatever it is that he actually does, that never really looks like revision.
The murmur of other students alerts them to Ludwig’s arrival. He nods curly to Naoji and Orpherus before moving to stand a little distance from them. Camus, who is nearest to the closed doors smiles faintly but doesn’t attempt to talk to his cousin.
A few moments later Eduard arrives looking just as formal as Orpherus might have ever dreamed he would. Eduard pauses to flick some imaginary dust from the cuff of his jacket before moving to lean back against the wall beside Ludwig. Even that normally casual slouch is gone and Orpherus is fairly sure that he can feel all the information that he desperately needs for the examination, tumbling out of his head.
Finally, the doors open and the students are permitted to file into the hall and Naoji yawns behind a hand before he casually strolls in through the doorway that Camus has already disappeared though.
“Good luck.” Orpherus hears Ludwig’s calm voice directed at Eduard, behind him.
“You’ll be fine, Lui.”
“Ah… thank you.” The faintest hint of a smile in that tone.
“Orphe, try to concentrate.” Eduard’s warm breath brushes his cheek as both Eduard and Ludwig stride past him into the exam hall. And Orpherus has to bite his lip to keep from smiling.
