“ Ngh.. Are you 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 ?! ”

She’s completely baffled by how immature of a move that was, let alone the excuse he gave. The lawyer roughly released his wrist from her grip and reached into her pocket to find a small travel size mirror that she popped open to see the —

— damage.

“ What the— *growl* . . . This 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 come off without staining. I can’t work with this on my face .! ”

She abruptly went to find her back and retrieve some makeup wipes. She was hoping the foundation she wore beneath where the ink touched would help remove —

— from her face.

“ 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 do you think you’re doing ? ”

‘ all over ‘ would turn out to only be a single stroke of the felt tip pen against her face before the cold and toxic scent woke her with a gasp before she reflexively grasped his wrist with enough strength to snap it had she been any less careful about jerking his hand away —

// ✨ running out of ways to creatively be woken up ✨

[𝐗• P̷r̷o̷s̷e̷c̷u̷t̷o̷r̷ 𝐒𝐚𝐞 𝐍𝐢𝐢𝐣𝐢𝐦𝐚 •𝐗 @SIU_Arbiter]

That was a subtle enough gesture that she failed to notice it as she steadily drifted further into unconsciousness.

“...”

He quietly puts a snack on her desk, covered with a napkin.

On the napkin is a sticky note with a smiley face and “Remember to smile today” written in black sharpie.

[𝐗• P̷r̷o̷s̷e̷c̷u̷t̷o̷r̷ 𝐒𝐚𝐞 𝐍𝐢𝐢𝐣𝐢𝐦𝐚 •𝐗 @SIU_Arbiter]

Abruptly waking up from that.

“ Wha— Ahem-. . . Y-Yes, I’m fine. . . My apologies. . . ”

[𝐗• P̷r̷o̷s̷e̷c̷u̷t̷o̷r̷ 𝐒𝐚𝐞 𝐍𝐢𝐢𝐣𝐢𝐦𝐚 •𝐗 @SIU_Arbiter]

Blinking herself back into consciousness, she’d clear her throat in pretending she wasn’t just completely slipping off into slumber.

“ I’m fine. . . Why do you ask? ”

She’s trying to play herself off.

[𝐗• P̷r̷o̷s̷e̷c̷u̷t̷o̷r̷ 𝐒𝐚𝐞 𝐍𝐢𝐢𝐣𝐢𝐦𝐚 •𝐗 @SIU_Arbiter]

— work, sifting through said documents and going over the information held within.

“ You don’t usually tend to interrupt me like that. Was there something you needed in the meantime? ”

Yes, still covering up for herself.

[𝐗• P̷r̷o̷s̷e̷c̷u̷t̷o̷r̷ 𝐒𝐚𝐞 𝐍𝐢𝐢𝐣𝐢𝐦𝐚 •𝐗 @SIU_Arbiter]

“ You don’t need to pretend that they’re the slightest bit interesting. Although important. ”

After a moment, she released a soft sigh before shuffling in her seat just enough to adjust herself and, frankly, wake herself up fully. Opening both eyes, she resumed her actual—

"Come now, we can't be sleeping on the job, there's plenty of exciting work to keep us on our toes!"

He'd tease his 'partner', unaware that she'd actually been asleep, thinking rather she were deep in thought.

"Work such as reading long documents!"

“ . . . . ”

“ Yes, Akechi-kun? ”

Keeping her eyes closed. . . Better to pretend she hasn’t just partially fallen asleep, especially since his light trap did well to alert her to his presence.

[𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 @LivingScandal]

"... Niijima-San?"

A light tap on her shoulder

[𝐗• P̷r̷o̷s̷e̷c̷u̷t̷o̷r̷ 𝐒𝐚𝐞 𝐍𝐢𝐢𝐣𝐢𝐦𝐚 •𝐗 @SIU_Arbiter]

“ Mmm . . . ”

She’s slowly squinting herself awake.

“Hmm . . . Huh. . ? — !!! — Oh— ! S-Sorry—! I must have fallen asleep. . . ”

[✨🎭 @SparklinSplndor]

Light shove on her shoulder to get her attention.

"Sis?"

// I’m going to sleep now, but I’ll get to all the replies I owe tomorrow

“ Then in that case, thank you, Amamiya-kun. . . I appreciate it. ”

❝ No , no .

He sat the pot on the table , taking a seat across from her .

“ That’s generous, but please, I’m fine paying. . . Thank you . ”

Once he poured the cup, she slowly grasped the cup, letting her hands warm from the ceramic before taking a small sip.

[ᴰᵃ ᴶᵒᵏᵃʰ ᴮᵃᵇᵉʸ @FrizziestThief]

❝ Of course , it’s on the house .

We don’t need you passing out on the way home . ❞

He brings over a fresh pot of coffee , filling up her cup .
