Kaito was a bit concerned that Kiibo was so reluctant to take care of himself, but he would get him to do so at some point. Eventually he wouldn't have to worry about him since he would be taking care of himself on his own, but at the time, he would have to make sure that he did anything. He didn't really mind, though, as he was completely focused on helping his friend.
"Thank you," he responded softly. "It may be difficult at first, but I'm here, and I'll help you."
Kiibo sighed, only planning to eat sometimes
Kaito sighed softly as well after a moment, knowing that Kiibo really didn't intend on taking much care of himself at all. He was still worried about him, but he was determined to help him as well. Surely there was something that could be done to get the other to take care of himself. There had to be. Even if it was by force, there had to be something that he could do.
"You know I'm going to make sure you take care of yourself, right?" he asked him. "I am, so don't try to argue."
“ I'll eat, at some point, and go to sleep tonight.”
Kaito was still a bit concerned by Kiibo's response, as it seemed like he didn't intend on making this a daily thing when it really needed to be one. He needed to sleep every night and eat every day, yet it seemed like he kept refusing to do so. It was really concerning to him, but he was determined to help him.
"It's going to be a daily thing," he told him. "I'll make sure it's a daily thing."
“Then make sure, but let me work when I need to.”
Kaito sighed, but he knew that this was going to be the best response that he could get out of Kiibo. He knew that he would have to stop him from working since his schedule didn't involve eating or sleeping, but with some effort, he was sure that he could get the other to take care of himself. It would be a long process, but he was more than willing to help his friend.
"Okay, but if you need to take care of yourself, I'll have no choice but to stop you," he responded softly. "Especially since your current schedule has no room for self care…"
“ Why do you care so much? You rarely ever talk to me..”
While Kaito knew that Kiibo's statement was true, he didn't think that it should stop him from caring about him as much as he did. He didn't really think that it was strange to care about someone like that, especially after finding them in such a horrible state. In his mind, it was only natural.
"Well, I couldn't just let you keep doing that to yourself. I still can't. I care because I want you to be alright," he explained. "Is that weird to you? It's pretty normal to me."
“ it is weird to me,” he growled, holding his head as it started to pound
Kaito seemed to be a bit concerned about Kiibo by this point, but he didn't understand why he responded to his care with such hostility. Had no one really cared much about his needs in the past? It was strange for someone to be so hostile towards someone that cares about them.
"Well, it's not that weird," he responded. "And are you alright?"
“I'm fine..” he mumbled, wiping his eyes and sitting down
Kaito shook his head at the comment as he began to grow frustrated with how Kiibo kept denying that something was wrong. He was really stubborn and all that, but he wasn't sure how much longer he could argue with him before he just snapped and left. He didn't want to do that, but it was getting very frustrating.
"No, you're not," he argued. "You're far from it. Listen to me, please!"
Kiibo knew he was pushing kaito away, he was good at that. Never letting people close enough to see the real him, the broken and pained him. But now he locked it away as his head pounded from stress
“ kaito..”
Kaito ended up growling at Kiibo after a moment, angry and frustrated with him. He couldn't really control himself as he felt the urge to yell take over his mind. If this didn't work, then he didn't know what would work to get Kiibo to take better care of himself, but he would just leave him alone for a while.
"No! Listen already!" he demanded. His tone was filled with anger, but there was a hint of concern somewhere in it. "You're not alright! Just listen to me and let me help you!"
Kiibo flinched, a look of fear crossed his eyes.
Kaito was only more concerned when he noticed the look of fear in Kiibo's eyes, and he immediately realized that he messed up just then. Sometimes he had a habit of yelling at others, whether due to pure energy or anger, and he realized that letting his frustration control him here was a horrible decision. He really needed to make it up to Kiibo now.
"I-I'm sorry," he apologized softly. "I'm so, so sorry. I was just frustrated. I didn't mean to yell. I'm sorry. Are you alright?"
He apologized a few times before asking if Kiibo was alright, hoping that he would be able to fix the situation, but if he was asked to leave, he would. He didn't want to cause the other more stress, so if he was asked to leave, then he would. He really didn't want to add to his problems.
Kiibo paused for a moment before rushing to kaito and squeezing him close and sobbing
