Lethargy isn't one of Shuuichi's traits.

The recording was great, Fujisaki concluded. The reason for that was lack of interruptions, unnecessary long breaks and unnecessarily distracting chatter.

The recording was good, Sakano concluded. The reason for that was timeliness, absence of sidetracking and actual completion on-time.

The recording was fine, K concluded. The reason for that was all parties involved were willing to work and there were no sudden emotional outbursts. However, he didn't get to test out his new X49G-S Series Magnum x49C.

The recording was long, Hiro concluded. The reason for that was forced focus on his and his best friend's part, Shuuichi's impossibly tired eyes and his own dull headache.

The recording was horrible, Shuuichi concluded. The reason was his lack of energy, the lightheadedness he felt and the irritating burn in his eyes.

"The brat is early," Yuki growled as the door shut and a voice called, "tadaima!" without a hint of joy.

Footsteps walked to stop behind him, arms came around his neck and a kiss on his head. That warmed insides – secretly, of course. Then, they were gone. Footsteps and a slump later, Yuki's fingers stopped typing and he looked at the doorway. He pushed his chair back and got up. His feet took him to the bedroom where Shuuichi was on the bed, face down, fully clothed and not moving. He approached and sat beside him, rubbing his back over his clothes.

"Shu-chan, daijobu?"

No reply.

Yuki frowned and put his hand on Shuuichi's head. He removed Shuuichi's shoes and socks, pulled off his jeans and undid his shirt before bringing the other end of the covers to him to not have to disturb his sleep just to pull it from under him.

Shuuichi's hands clutched at the covers in his sleep and his eyes tightened and relaxed, letting through some tears through his lids before he relaxed completely. Yuki's brows frowned. Shuuichi seemed tired. He wiped the tears off and watched him sleep a few seconds more before he kissed Shuuichi's head and went back to his work.
