@riflecase asked: Your muse falls very ill and continues activities even if they seem on the verge of passing out. From this meme
Body aching and hands and legs on the verge of giving out, Asahi ignores the plea to rest from his body.
It’s not like it’s particularly busy, anyway. I can do this. I can rest when I get home. It’s not like I haven’t gone weeks without a day off before. I can do it again. Dad’s counting on me.
At least, that’s the justification for him pushing through whatever illness is working its way through his system. His father’s in a rough patch again. He can’t work. Granted, if Hideki knew his only son was doing this to himself, he’d demand he closes up shop and gets some rest, but Asahi won’t let it get to that.
But then the denial of his condition can only go so far.
He doesn’t even initially hear his long-time customer and friend, Shin, enter as his head enters another daze. But at the sound of a chair being moved, he snaps out of it enough to offer a pathetic smile that he’s wrongly certain is convincing to the other.
“Hey! Been awhile,” he almost breathlessly greets.
