“You just seemed zoned out shuichi.”

Shuichi sighed softly. That was definitely the case, and while he wasn't sure why, he was sure that he was going to be alright after a while. He didn't think that it was going to be much of an issue, so he didn't worry all that much about it. He had no idea that the new tendency to zone out was likely due to exhaustion from being stressed and overworked often.

"I know, but I'll be alright," he assured him softly. "It's fine."

“Are you absolutely sure?” korekiyo asked again, tilting his head

Shuichi nodded in response to the comment. In his own mind, he was sure that he was going to be just fine. Of course, he had no idea what was going on, nor did he know that continuing to work would just contribute to everything, but he was sure that he was going to be just fine.

"I'm sure, Korekiyo," he responded softly. "No need to worry."

“ okay..” he whispered

Shuichi sighed softly as he found himself slowly zoning out again. What was going on in his mind? Why was it so difficult for him to focus? He had no idea, but what concerned him was that his eyes were beginning to close on their own accord. Was he falling asleep? How? It was the middle of the day. He honestly had no idea what was happening.

Korekiyo sighed, picking up shuichi and walking off “ your taking the day off.”

Suddenly being picked up like that was more than enough to snap Shuichi out of his half asleep state. He wasn't sure why the other had picked him up, all things considered, and he didn't think that he needed a day off, but he was just refusing to take a break by then.

"Korekiyo, I need to work on the case…" he argued. "What are you doing…?"

“ Your literally falling asleep on the job. I'm not giving you the option now,”

Shuichi sighed softly. He remembered that he was pretty close to falling asleep a couple of moments ago, but in his mind, he could still work on the case. Somehow, he had convinced himself that as long as he could still stand, he could keep working on the case. It seemed like he had been dealing with that much stress for a long time by that point.

"Korekiyo…" he sighed. "Really, I don't have any issues… I'm alright aside from that…"

“No, shuichi your not.” he sighed “ I haven't even been near you for a moment and I can tell your exhausted “

Shuichi sighed softly at the response. He understood that Korekiyo cared about him, but in his mind, he was okay enough to keep working, and he was needed in the case, or at least in his mind, so he couldn't afford to take a break. In his mind, he had to keep working.

"Korekiyo, maybe I'm a bit exhausted, but I'm otherwise alright…" he argued. Honestly, if he wasn't so used to the feeling, he wouldn't have been arguing. "I'm fine…"

“Shuichi, please don't argue with me..” he mumbled “ I can't see you struggle like this..”

Shuichi noticed that Korekiyo seemed to be concerned about him, although he still couldn't fully determine why. Sure, he was exhausted, and sure, he had almost fallen asleep while just walking to work with him, but nothing was out of the ordinary for him, so he didn't think that it was much of an issue.

"This is normal for me, though…" he responded. It was the truth. "Really, this is normal…"

“That's the thing, it's not normal for everyone else,” he said and sighed as he unlocked his apartment door “I'm glad I live within walking distance from the department..”

Shuichi sighed softly. It wasn't normal for other people to push themselves through what he was pushing himself through on a daily basis? He honestly found it a bit strange since he was so used to working incredibly hard. Overworking himself was his normal level of work.

"It's…not…?" he asked. "It's so normal for me to do this… I'm not concerned because I'm used to this…"

“ no shu it's not,” he said, carrying shuichi up the stairs and into his bedroom

Shuichi couldn't help but wonder why Korekiyo was continuing to be like this, as he didn't understand why he cared so much. So maybe what he was doing wasn't normal for other people, but it was still normal for him, so he wasn't concerned. He was pretty used to it by then, which made it difficult for him to really be concerned about it at the time.

"Alright, maybe it's not normal for other people, then…" he sighed. Thinking about it, it was pretty obvious. He was the only one who worked even close to as hard as he did. "Still, it's pretty normal for me, even how I feel right now, so I'm not all that concerned about it."

“I am, just, get an hour of rest and ill let you go back to work.”

Shuichi sighed softly as he finally gave in. Starting work an hour later than usual was better than not going at all, so he decided to just go along with it at the time. Maybe if he relaxed for an hour, he could then be in a good enough condition to go back to work.

"Alright, fine," he responded. "It's a deal. I'll rest for an hour or so, and then I'll get back to work."

“ and your gonna eat something” korekiyo added

Shuichi nodded in response. He saw that coming, although he wondered how Korekiyo was aware of the fact that he hadn't eaten much at all in the past few weeks and had yet to eat anything that day as well. He truly seemed to notice a lot of things.

"Alright, I'll eat, too, don't worry," he responded softly.

“ promise?”

Shuichi nodded in response. He was determined to take care of himself if it eased the other's concerns.Of course, he still wanted to go back to work as well, but his main motivation to take care of himself had suddenly switched from work to making sure that Korekiyo didn't worry too much about him.

"I promise."

Korekiyo nodded and left the room, letting shuichi rest
