Emergency Request Fulfilled: I started taking a lot harder classes this year and it’s killing me and my impostor syndrome because I’m so slow compared to everyone else. It’s making me depressed/stressed so I wanted to request a pick me up request.

Lowkey gets stressed too 🙃
Does his best to hide it, but Zenitsu’s an open book, so it doesn’t stay hidden for long
Sometimes he’ll even sense your stress before you do
“Are you okay Zeni? You seem stressed.”
“I’m fine!” ☺️
…
…
*realization hits*
Zenitsu: Are you stressed? 🥺
You: Nooo, you’re stressed! 😒
Zenitsu: But I’m not? 🥲
You: Well your stress is stressing me out! 😖
Zenitsu: But I’m not stressed?! 🫠
*insert Spiderman meme here*
Affirmations
Once you’ve determined that you’re both adequately stressed 💀😂
Zenitsu brings out ✨The Jar of Affirmation✨
Aka your equivalent of scrolling through cheesy, inspirational social media posts when you’re feeling low
Zenitsu: YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! 😍
You: YOU ARE CAPABLE! 😎
Zenitsu: YOU ARE SMART! 🤓
You: YOU ARE DETERMINED! 😤
It’s kinda cathartic to yell/be yelled at, y’know? 🥰😆
Lovingly, ofc
Your stress hits close to home for Kyojuro (imposter syndrome, inadequacy), but he’s unsure how to support you
Which is not to say that he doesn’t try
Bc he does try, a lot and often 🥺
But a pin pricking feeling that he isn’t quite cut out for comforting you frequently surfaces
“I can order takeout and build a pillow fort for us to watch a movie in together? Would that be okay?”
Your stress fades to a gentle, manageable pulse as Kyojuro’s tender doubt gnaws at your chest, your arms hugging him into your warmth as you murmur softly
“That would be absolutely perfect. Thank you for taking care of me.”
—
He still questions his ability to ease your burdens as you snuggle into his side, plastic containers and utensils spread out on the fluffy blanket beneath you, a thin canopy of cotton sheet and fairy lights billowing above
Could I have decorated better? 😕
Why did I make us sit on the floor?! 😞
But he allows himself a lingering, adoring smile when you begin making airplane noises, happily opening his mouth to accept your forkful of pad Thai
“I love you!” you grin, darting in to peck his nose
“I wuv y’u too!” he declares, the tips of his ears as red as his heart
He’s convinced that pad Thai’s never tasted so delicious
Knows your favorite snacks better than he knows himself, and won’t hesitate to walk to the corner store to buy you a lil snick snack
“Kyo, it’s almost midnight. I’m fine.” 😝
“Your stomach rumbled.” ☹️
“I can eat in the morning.”
“Fine.”
…
…
“I shall wait until midnight, at which point it will be morning.” 😎
“What if I fall asleep before you get back?”
“Then I guess you will most certainly eat in the morning.” 😌
Doesn’t let you lift a finger, sometimes to the extent that your stress morphs to anger 🤪
“I said I was stressed, not incapable.” 😐
“Me helping you is a testament of my love, not a commentary on your ability.” 🤨
“You aren’t helping me! You’re infantilizing me!” 😖
“I in fact have not put you in a diaper nor made you suck on a pacifier.” 😃
“I will dye your hair while you’re asleep.” 😒
“Would a spa day reduce your stress?”
“No, but watching your reaction to waking up with green hair would.” 😌
“If you somehow manage to dye my hair without waking me up, then I guess I deserve it.” 🙃
“Could you at least let me wash my dishes? Or put toothpaste on my own toothbrush?” 😕
“No and Yes. Okay?”
“I want to tie my shoelaces too.”
“You can do one shoe.” 😉
“Whatever.” 🙄🥰
Gets you out and about
Whether it’s joining him on a grocery run or just walking around the block
Sanemi knows a change of scenery can refresh and remove the monotony of stress
He’ll even coax you into photoshoots
“Stop. You need a picture underneath that tree.”
“Wait, the sunlight is framing your face so beautifully.”
“Let’s take a selfie together.”
Not bc he loves being your personal photographer 🥴, but bc he sees how much you brighten at his softness 🥺
Sees how happy his explicit (albeit occasionally disgruntled) affection makes you
… maybe selfies aren’t so bad after all
