headcanons || when you're feeling burnt out

Hey loves! I hope you're all well!

Finally, after a billion years, I'm getting some more requests done. And what better thing to do than one about burnt out?

Seriously, school just started and I'm already burnt out. Senioritis is hitting me HARD!

Anyway, as always, reader is gender neutral

tw: cursing, depression, mental exhaustion, etc.

Ryusei

Tired. That's all you felt. So tired. Each day a new weight always seemed to get added to your shoulders. Whether it was homework, or just the thought of school alone, it all made you feel...exhausted.

It quickly became too much. Every day lasted longer and longer. Your work built up more and more. Even talking to your friends seemed like a task. It just seemed like there was no end to any of it, it made you so tired...so stressed.

And Ryusei noticed that.

Ever since you had shown up to school, you noticed he was giving you an odd look. He kept looking at you, confused, as if he was trying to figure something out. Then, confused turned to concern, and concern turned onto questions.

"Y/n?" Ryusei asked, pulling you away from your friends. "Are you okay?"

Nervously, you laughed, barely being able to keep eye contact with Ryusei. "What?" you chocked out. "I'm fine! Just a little tired is all"

Ryusei looked at you skeptically and sighed. Sure, you were tired, but he knew there was a lot more going on than that. He knew very well there was something a lot deeper than "a little tired" going on.

"Y/nnn" he began, gently holding your shoulders. "Don't lie to me"

"I told you, I'm just tired"

"No", Ryusei persisted. "There's something wrong, very wrong. What's bugging you love?"

Silently, you looked up at him. Your mouth pressed together, and you sighed, as if you were getting ready to say something. A familiar glint appeared in your eyes, one that remined him all too much of tears. His heartbeat picked up and he was ready to whisk you away to safety. But, just as you opened your mouth to say something, someone interrupted you.

"Y/n! What're you waiting for? We gotta go!" your friends yelled. They were waving you down, telling you it's time to go to class...to more work. "Coming!", you answered. And in one movement, you gave Ryusei an apologetic look and left. Ryusei just watched you leave, worried.

Throughout the day Ryusei thought about you non-stop. On the outside, he was his happy, dandy, teasing self. He spent his day with friends, teasing Chifuyu, and sleeping on the roof. He looked fine, happy even. But on the inside, worried plagued him. You looked so sad, so tired. And he hated that. It drove him crazy.

Even worse, he kept trying to talk to you, trying to comfort you—but you avoided him. Every time he'd walk by you or call your name, you'd drop your head and act like he wasn't there. It was like he was a ghost. And that, worried him more than anything.

Eventually, Ryusei had enough. Mid-way through the school day, right before you went into your last class, Ryusei grabbed your arm and walked you up to his favorite place—the school rooftop.

"Ryusei!" you yelled, attempting to pull away. "Ryusei?! What're you doing?!"

Ryusei said nothing. He didn't turn to you, he didn't look at you, and he didn't say anything. He just kept walking you up to the roof. No matter how many times you yelled for him and asked him what was going on, he just ignored you and kept going.
