Dazai was most definitely in a depressive episode. He already rarely did his work, but now he really wasn't doing it. He just.. didn't have the motivation. Usually when he got like this, he could get away with passing off his work to Atsushi. Unfortunately for him, Atsushi has been out after getting injured on an outing, and nobody else would fall for his tricks but Atsushi, so he was stuck with his work.

Of course, this only made his burnout worse, and Kunikida constantly yelling in his ear to get his work done was not helping. He had started taking his paperwork home in hopes of maybe being able to get it done in a different environment, but that didn't seem to work. Chuuya, noticing the situation, had taken years of experience in knowing Osamu to get him working.

See, Osamu was very praise motivated. Giving him praise or rewards usually did the trick. So, as of late, Chuuya had been rewarding Osamu for doing his work with stickers from his favorite things, mainly Sanrio, or taking him out on little outings, or just giving him kisses and praising him. Either way, it's been working well... until this morning.

Everything seemed to be coming to a head. Months of barely taken care of burnout has resulted in today, when Chuuya woke up and Osamu was refusing to leave bed, looking miserable. The ginger sighs as he sits next to the laying down man and rubbing his back tenderly, leaning down and kissing the back of his husband's neck.

"Osamu, babe.. you have to get up for work." He says softly. When he receives no answer, he sighs again, shoulders slumping. "...You've been working so hard recently. You're doing so well, baby." He praises, again receiving no answer. "Osamu, what can I do for you? Tell me what you need, anything you want... a mental health day is deserved, I figure."
