Y/n had just gotten off of kitchen duty. He rubbed his eyes. They had noticeable bags under them, most likely due to lack of sleep.

"Dinner was amazing tonight, Y/n!" Hilda smiled at him.

Y/n glanced at Hilda, smiling a little. "Thanks, Hilda... I appreciate that."

"No problem!" Hilda said goodbye, and skipped off to visit Lysithea and Marianne.

Y/n tended to work too hard. He would take on multiple tasks at once, and somehow always manage to finish them all.

He was now off to his dorm to study for his exam. He was hoping to receive his advanced seal from Professor Byleth.

He opened the door, and took a seat at his decently-messy desk. There were books, papers, quills, and other random stuff. He knew where everything was.

The door opened suddenly, and he jumped.

"Hey, Y/n!" Claude leaped onto Y/n's bed.

"Claude," Y/n groaned, rolling his eyes at the brunette. "Please knock next time to prevent a heart attack!"

Claude laughed. "I don't need to knock, you're my best friend."

"You suck." Y/n laughed, shaking his head slightly.

He turned back to his study notes, his smile falling as he focused back on what he was doing. Claude stood up, and noticed Y/n's upset expression.

"Y/n, are you okay?" Claude asked. As Y/n looked at him, he saw the tiredness. His eyes had bags, and really, his eyes were slightly reddened from lack of sleep.

Y/n nodded. "Y-Yeah, why?"

Claude clicked his tongue. "Come sit with me."

Y/n sat next to Claude on the bed.

"Now, tell me what's up."

Y/n sighed. "Honestly, I just feel like I'm not doing enough to help out..."

Claude looked shocked. "Y/n... listen to me. You cooked for us tonight, you cleaned the training weapons yesterday, you went shopping for ingredients and weapons with the professor, you cleaned the library, need I go on? Y/n, if anything, you do too much."

"W-What?" Y/n's voice was small.

Claude nodded. "You need to relax a bit. Take a break. Now, you're studying. You need rest. You need to stop overdoing it!"

"You're right, Claude..." Y/n realized.

"From now on, let's make Hilda do your jobs." Claude stifled a laugh as he spoke.

Y/n scoffed. "Oh, please! They would never get done."

Claude burst out laughing, causing Y/n to as well. "Too true!"

"Thanks for helping me realize that, Claude." Y/n smiled at his friend.

"What would you do without me?" Claude teased.

"Work until I died, most likely."

"True... tomorrow, we should go do some relaxing stuff. Maybe go fishing, visit the greenhouse, poison some people's meals..."

"Claude! All sound lovely, except the last one." Y/n scolded.

"Damn, I thought that was the best one..."
