______________________________________

Recently, you decided to go through your scrap metals. Instead of completely getting rid of them by melting them together like you were used to, to not waste the materials, you found yourself with an abundance. It would be wasteful to just create an alloy, so you decided to try and repurpose them- craft something. You had spoken to Jinx about your own desire to draw and were surprised when she offered to help you, handing you a crayon and sheet of paper. This time it was her encouraging and teaching you how to draw a fish. It was fun. Then when Silco arrived to collect her, you saw the look of pride on his face when he saw your awkward-looking fish, and waved by to Jinx who said she'd teach you more the next day. 

Captivated and overwhelmed by the sudden artistic urges to create, you worked tirelessly into the night- curving, welding, and shaping the metal into your desired shape. The sudden loud knock on your door caused you to jump in surprise, almost dropping the heat gun in your hands. You made sure everything was turned off in your workshop and slowly exited, wincing as your eyes stung and watered at the light and noise, a pounding headache quickly forming. You'd stayed up all night again. Fuck- that meant Silco and Jinx were here already. You glanced down as the girl rushed into your workshop as usual, but didn't miss how Silco's eyes scanned over your clothing, 

"You wore this yesterday," His eyes lingered on your face, squinting judgementally as he studied the dark circles under your eyes,

"Ahaa... Yeah, I got really distracted and didn't realise the time," You said, trying to smooth down your dishevelled hair and stepping aside as he walked past you, looking over your apartment. You shut the door behind him, blinking slowly and wearily following him and trying to ignore the fact that your eyes were barely able to stay open. A yawn escaped your lips reluctantly, and even if you tried to hide it behind your hand his attentive ears caught the noise of your small gasp and slow inhale of air,

"You didn't sleep at all," He stated, glancing up as he saw Jinx emerge back from your workshop with a frown at your state. You wanted to slink back slightly, feeling as if he was reprimanding you, "You didn't eat breakfast," He added, looking over your clean kitchen and noticing everything was in the exact same place as it was when he last came over, no sign of a meal being made the night before or an hour prior. Moving from where he stood next to you to stand in front of you, he moved his hands behind his back and scrutinised you. Under his piercing gaze, you rubbed your forehead slightly, feeling a headache begin to form, "Care to explain why you haven't been looking after yourself?" He asked,

"I..." You sighed, "You know what happens when I get too focused on something, Silco," You said, to which he hummed, but his expression was unmoving. For a moment more, he just studied your face, before he turned to the girl,

"Jinx, you'll have an off day today for the sake of (Y/N)'s health," He wouldn't let you get a word of protest in as she quickly ran over to the two of you, taking a small pouch that clinked with coins that he had on him, and nodded, "I need you to get something for (Y/N) to eat, and make sure it's not made of pure fat or sugar," He called after the overexcited girl as she put her shoes on, yelling an okay, and leaving your home slamming your door shut. You winced at the noise and slowly followed after Silco to your kitchen,
