(REQUESTS CLOSED) Kimetsu no Yaiba Scenarios

They Overwork Themselves

A/N: Decided to make a two-parter to the last one. Enjoy!

--

Tanjiro:

Your poor boyfriend is prone to doing too much too often, especially if it means he's helping people. Luckily for you, he's mostly agreeable when you plead for him to stop for a while - he knows he should be taking better care of himself, even though his anxiety over not being there to save someone threatens to override his rational thinking.

Nezuko:

She can be fairly stubborn where it counts, not wanting to stop until the job is done. She is moved by your tears, however, when you plead with her to take a break before she exhausts herself. She'll be content to curl up next to you and sleep the entire night away, refreshing herself and being close to you.

Zenitsu:

All you need to do is insist he stop and rest, and his willpower is crumbling like a house of cards. He just cannot say no to you when you're that concerned for his personal wellbeing. The last thing he wants is to worry you unnecessarily, and if resting means he can be closer to you, he'll do it.

Inosuke:

He'll stubbornly insist he's fine, even when he's very much not fine. It can be very frustrating, but if the group decides you're all going to stop and rest for a while, it's likely he'll go along with it. He could go on his own, but where's the fun in that when he could stay with you?

Giyuu:

He can be prone to overworking himself sometimes, when his guilt and self-hatred get the better of him or he's tracking down a particularly-important lead. He'll brush off your attempts to get him to stop and rest, and will outright get upset if you continue to insist on it. It may get to the point where he collapses and you bring him to safety, staying at his side while he's nursed back to health and scolding him for being so stubborn.

Kyojuro:

He knows his limits, but there are times when even he ignores them. Having you snap him back to reality helps, as he will recognize he's burning out too fast and will take a break to rest. He appreciates your worry over him, though he does feel guilty when he realizes just how close he was getting to collapsing or getting ill.

Muichiro:

He's very prone to overwork, a lot of the time without realizing it. He's so determined to keep going that it can be hard to get him to stop - and you may have to wait until he collapses to get him to take a proper break. He's not used to having someone worry over him as intensely as you do, and while it's surprising, it makes him feel guilty that he made you that concerned.

Shinobu:

It's very frustrating trying to get her to take a break when she's in the zone. Absolutely nothing is going to stop her when she's locked in, and all you can do is make sure she's hydrated and fed until she inevitably passes out. As frustrated as you get, you almost feel bad for getting mad when she guiltily apologizes for working herself so hard.

Gyomei:

It will take some coaxing for him to realize he's pushing himself too hard before he takes a break. The last thing he wants is to neglect his own health in pursuit of his goals - and he doesn't want to upset you. He can be pretty apologetic if you get upset at him for neglecting to eat or sleep.

Sanemi:

He can get pretty testy with you if you ask him to take a break and stop for his own sake. He knows his body, (y/n), he's just fine! After he says this, he passes out (thankfully without his sword in hand). When he comes to, he's sulky once he realizes what's happened, but he does quietly apologize for worrying you.

Akaza:

If he could still burn out and exhaust himself, you'd be concerned. Even still, it's weird when you don't see him for weeks on end, worrying that he's gotten himself killed in a fight. Every time he returns with that sweet smile, looking the same as ever, it's a massive relief - and he must know how much you worry, because he never says a thing about you being just a little extra clingy.

Douma:

Oh my, what's this? He can't believe his little dove is worried about him "overworking" himself. He laughs off your concerns and reassures you he's just fine - and honestly, you feel a little silly having ever worried about him burning out in the first place.

Kokushibo:

After the third straight week of not seeing him, you begin to wonder just what in the heck he's doing. Is he on a mission? Is he avoiding you? You have no idea until at last he returns, looking the same as ever. Any concerns about burning out were shed when he shed his human self, though the thought that you were concerned about his wellbeing are touching.

Muzan:

Is there even such a thing as "overwork" for him? Even when you first began to suspect your boyfriend wasn't a human, you had no idea he could work for this long without a single break. He outright dismisses your concerns, annoyed that you think so little of him. In his mind, you're seeing him as weak - and he is not a weak man, (y/n).

Yoriichi:

Days are long, and nights are even longer. Sometimes he finds himself locked into his work and it's hard to get him to stop and rest. He's got so much guilt and sadness inside that when it builds up enough, it manifests as this burning need to keep pushing forward. His stamina is so high that it takes a while before he really realizes just how burnt out he is - and it takes him a little while to recuperate. He gets horribly guilty when he sees you there at his side, helping him recover.

A/N: Speaking of burnout, we're in the home stretch already! Less than 15 remain, and hoo boy are they kicking my ass right now. Some of them are a little harder to complete than others, so please don't be disappointed if it takes me a little extra longer to finish them than it has been for the past month.

Please tell me what you thought.
