A/N: All in the title: Reader overworks herself and her partner tries to comfort her.

--


Tanjiro:

You're so determined to keep going despite your body telling you to stop. It worries him to see you faint one evening, and he ends up grounding you to the inn you're staying in, determined to give you a proper rest before you got going again. You were angry at first, but eventually you gave in, admittedly a little happier after the forced day off.


Nezuko:

It worries her to tears to see you do so much with so little rest. More often than not she sees you stumble around on only a few hours of sleep, trying to complete your missions as fast as possible. When one good swipe from a demon knocks you out, she lays you down in the safety of some underbrush as the rest of the group kills them. She guards you until sunrise, not wanting you to wake up and want to leave. When you awake, rested, she pouts at you until you agree to take it easier. She's not above hoisting you over her shoulder and carrying you off to sit out a fight if you've been working too hard.


Zenitsu:

How could you do this to yourself?! That's the gist of what he shouts at you when you faint in the middle of the day, overworked and exhausted. He treats it like a personal offense, demanding you treat yourself better because he loves you and doesn't want you to die and leave him alone. It works to make you feel guilty enough to take some time away from slaying.


Inosuke:

He gets your enthusiasm for slaying, but it's frustrating sometimes when he knows you haven't been resting and eating properly. He demands you stop doing so much, arguing that you'll only get yourself killed faster if you don't. He doesn't want to lose you, and especially not to a problem that can be fixed.


Giyuu:

He actually gets angry when you faint in the middle of a mission. When you come to, he's already killed your foe and he's demanding to know how long you've been sleeping and if you've eaten well lately. Your answers aren't exactly pacifying, and he argues with you over taking care of yourself. He of all people knows that it's hard to properly rest in your profession, but damn it, you're working yourself to an early grave and he doesn't want to lose yet another person he loves.


Kyojuro:

He's pretty disappointed. He knows you know the weight of the work you do, and he knows you know you need to properly rest and recuperate between missions. When it becomes apparent that you aren't doing that, he decides you're resting whether you want to or not. He insists you spend a few days with him to help with his brother (Senjuro, the sneaky little cutie, is horrified when he learns just how burnt-out you were and readily agrees to get you to stay). Between the two of them, they get you to relax for almost a week before you feel antsy enough to get back into the field.


Muichiro:

Why aren't you taking care of yourself? He's angry and disappointed in you when you collapse on the way to your next mission. He hadn't realized just how exhausted you were - and he takes it upon himself to make you take it easy before you end up dead. He's lowkey clingy when he explains that you're not leaving until you're fully rested and well-fed again. Though it's annoying to have him lurking, it's touching that he cares this much.
