I'm not saying you can't! You just....

[Say it so plainly, and get Doppo red faced. Doppo loves Hifumi too! So much?!]

You know I love you too, right?

[hostjacket]

I know. You wouldn't still be working at that godawful place if you didn't think you needed to in order to look after me.

[He drops his head on Doppo's shoulder.]

Even though I keep telling you I'd be happier if you stopped because then you'd be less miserable and not about to keel over from work. Sensei can't cure karoshi, you know. [A beat.] Prob'ly, anyway. I mean, it's, y'know, death but maybe Sensei knows people who can fix that. I dunno.

[Hifumi knows damn well not even Jakurai could fix it if Doppo died from overwork, but he'll play up the airhead a little right now]

[orenosei]

What happens when you get sick and need to take days off? I have to provide those days, you can't do everything alone...Hifumi.

[Reflexively he puts a hand on top of Hifumi's head and strokes his hair.]

I'd be happier if I quit, but, I just....can't quite. Threat of karoshi or not.

[Sensei....could not fix him if he died, but, yeah.]

[hostjacket]

When I get sick we just use some of the thousands of yen sitting in savings, duh. Besides, when I'm sick you need to stay home and take care of me.

[Yay pets!]

[orenosei]

[Pet pet pet pet.

Sighing, kissing his forehead.]

You'd want an asshole taking care of you?

[hostjacket]

Not just any asshole. My asshole.

[orenosei]

Even if I upset you? And yelled at you?

[hostjacket]

You wouldn't yell at me if I was sick, though.

[Duh.]

You're still Doppochin, and the only person who's better at taking care of me is, y'know, Sensei. And he's a doctor.
