"What on earth happened yesterday?!" His Father questioned him as they sat alone in his study.
It must gave been deathly serious if they were in Father's study, as that place was an of limits area no matter what...
"Nothing. I was just tired..." Gouenji muttered back, obviously feeling guilty.
"Just tired?! Shuuya, you collapsed out of extreme fatigue!!!" The eldest Gouenji barked at his son, obviously distressed and worried. "That is not, 'Just tired', boy! Fatigue is a killer!"
"I know that!" Shuuya snapped back. "I'm not an idiot!"
"What time did you go to bed at?" His Father continued his interrogation, obviously not stopping soon.
"Nine, when you told me to."
"Don't lie to me, what time did you to bed at?!"
"... Midnight." The boy admitted, causing the man to sigh deeply.
"And how much did you eat today?" He questioned, obviously disappointed.
"... I..." Gouenji muttered before realising that lying wouldn't do in any good in this situation. "I didn't eat anything..."
"And why was that?!"
"I don't know, I just needed as much time to study as I could for this math test! and now I've got these medical classes I'll have no time to study at all unless its during lunch or break!"
"Look, I don't have a problem with you studying, but you need to learn when you're taking it too far..."
"But when will enough be enough?!" The blonde cries out desperately. "When will you finally be satisfied with my work?"
"Look, its not that I'm not satisfied, it's that there is always room for improvement..." His Father tried to get through to him...
And of course Gouenji had no choice but to listen, even if grudgingly.
"Look, you can study as much as you want. Just... Be careful, eat regular meals, go to sleep at appropriate times. Okay?"
"Okay..." Gouenji muttered angrily as he stormed out the study, fed up of it all.
"Okay...?" His Father called after him, waiting for the magic word...
"Okay..." The blonde muttered before adding on sarcastically; "Father..."
