An eyebrow lifts at the response – really, Art? Are you actually taking care of yourself? Nice said nothing for a moment, stabbing into his food once more, he ate the second bite before, yet again, offering the next to Art, gaze steady. “Will you actually sleep, Art?” It’s meant to be teasing, but his concern is clear enough. “I doubt you ate recently, and how long will you sleep?” He shifts, leaning forward slightly, with a faint smile – one that is only half-hearted, because he could guess without needing to be told. Perhaps he knew a few of Art’s habits as well as his best friend knew his own.
The plate is nudged slightly towards the other, offering – “Really, eat something. I don’t mind sharing.”
「 ❈ 」 “Yes, I will.” After all, Art wouldn’t have a choice but to sleep if he passed out from exhaustion ( and he was well on his way to doing just that )--no mention of how long he would sleep, though. At the offer, he held up a hand before standing. “Hold on.” He walked away and returned a moment later with his own fork. “It would be awkward to share with only one fork,” he explained. It meant that only one would be able to take a bite at a time. Resigned to his fate, he picked up another forkful of food and ate it. In trying to help his friend, it turned out, he ended up helping himself too.
And it was only after he had a bit of food in his stomach that he realised how hungry he was, so excuse him as he takes a few more bites. Good thing he’d gotten plenty of food.
