kaveh had been locked in his room for days, working on a project that was due soon. he ignored your requests for him to take breaks and even refused a few meals to continue working.

you decided you had enough. you picked the lock, walked in, and escorted him to his bed. he was too tired to even protest. you loved him, you weren’t just going to let him suffer.

“can’t… rest… need to finish… failure…” he managed to rasp out, trying to keep his eyes open and not let his exhaustion win.
