Hi! I wanted to say that I recently read your headcanons for the characters and honestly a lot of them put a smile on my face.
I was wondering how all the uppermoons (Including Muzan, Gyutaro and Daki because I love them all) would react to the reader (their s/o) heavily overworking themselves and/or restricting their own food (maybe because of something like an ED but that’s your choice!). The reader being gender neutral so most can enjoy (once again it can be any). If you don’t want to do this you can skip, there’s no pressure! And if you do it, feel free to take all the time you need :)
I have been recovering from an eating disorder myself and have yet to see one of these things about eating problems, so it would make me happy finally seeing one about this since I’ve struggled with it for years. Thanks a lot if you get the time to read this! Keep up the writing!
OMGGG I LOVE YOU OKAYYY congratulations really on overcoming that ! I’m not so familiar with ED so I made a more general idea abt the reader overworking themselves like a mix of both I hope I didn't go too off topic 😭!! But once again, you can be proud of yourself really!!! I tried my best here hoping it’ll soothe the hearts of everyone in that position at the moment 💗 All of you, know that it is not your fault, don’t put too much pressure on yourselves y’all are probably doing amazing already just by keep trying ! And know that every efforts, small bites count more than you realize! And I shall serve so...here we go…
Pairing : Upper moon (1-6) + Muzan x gn!reader
CONTENT WARNING ☀︎ : Mention of eating disorder (ED) but mostly fluff I swear !!
"And what exactly are you doing ?"
He’d notice your overworking instantly (he notices everything).
His version of helping is crazy levels of control. One day your workspace is spotless, the next all your pens are gone.
Swichh gone just like that.
"I reorganized your schedule. You’ll rest at 9. Not later."
He’ll deny it’s concern. He’ll call it optimization.
But then you catch him leaving a perfectly arranged tray of food on your desk. You blink, he's gone already. As if he’s embarrassed to be caught caring — caught being weak for you.
"Rest now. That’s an order…or a request. If you want..."
As time passes you notice how his eyes linger more whenever you eat. Well no okay i'm lying here... HE'LL LOOK AT YOU DEAD IN THE EYES WITH THOSE PIERCING RED EYES OF HIS-
But the gaze isn’t calculating. It’s assessing. Measuring something even he doesn’t fully understand.
Almost soft, if you look long enough. Proud should be around the corner as well...
He'll sit next to you as you work feigning interest in whatever newspaper or new plan to conquer the sun, but really silently monitoring you from the corner of his eyes.
It's almost comical how he does his very best not too seem too soft when he hopelessly is.
He'll randomly do acts of service, feigning nonchalance. He'll comb your hair, suprise you with unexpected gifts, light massages and TRUST ME he always got a very well-prepared excuse to the why he's doing it. It's encouragement in his own clumsy way !
You once caught him extremely focused on your plate — inspecting it, or should I say... wondering if it's good enough for you. If you'd like it...and most of all, if you'll try to eat it.
"Unless you've forgotten, you belong to me. So let me take care of what's mine."
When he notices how you overwork yourself, he doesn’t scold you, but you’ll feel the weight of his gaze.
"You look…tired. Is it the work you’re on tiring you ?"
THE strictest of them all : he won’t beg or ask calmly no more he’ll just snatch whatever you’re working on away from you so you can take a break. (careful not to hurt you or mess up your work dw !!)
And crazy how you just NEVER know where he hides it, you’ll just see your work reappear magically the next morning.
You actually catch him side glancing what you’re doing at times.
During the night when he made sure at least TWICE you were peacefully asleep.
He tries to educate himself on whatever you’re working on, hoping to help you in the future. (That’s why he’s my man…husband material we say in unison 😔🙏)
He’ll try to make you see your body as something sacred, worthy of respect.
He would start and genuinely go out his way to try to cook for you, based on your likes and dislikes. Feeling unsure about what he's doing at first.
AND TURNS OUT.... he's surprisingly an amazing chef!
He'll do anything for your health, your everything, you.
"Your body carries you through all your efforts. Do not mistreat it."
"Oh my...is that paper sheet more interesting than me ?"
He would genuinely hide your supplies for fun on the surface but also because he sees how overworked you are.
It would never be excessive tho he’ll let you work when you have to but the only rule is...he’s the one saying when it’s break time !
That crazy ahh b would BITE you yes you read right BITE YOU (playfully or not...) until you finally give up and go to sleep with him.
He would find any excuses or new stratagems each days to keep you from overworking yourself, each crazier than the last.
Which in the end simply makes you laugh by how absurd each of his stunts are.
So it’s double win for him = laughter + break time !!
"You know, I can just turn you into demon darling, you’ll have eternity ! Why work when you have eternity ? Or even better when you have ME ?"
He would never entrave with your work tho ! He sets the break times but would never willingly sabotage your work just for fun or for you to give him more of you attention as you may think.
He may be unfamiliar with emotions, but somehow in his heart (if demons even have one lol idk I need to look it up again 😭) it doesn’t sit right with him…perhaps simple intuition ? He doesn’t know...
When he finds out abt your ED it's a whole new story, he wouldn't be loud abt it, he'll just notice...
The art of noticing...ooh see where it gets him.
He’d sit beside you during meals, cheerfully eating himself to make you laugh or feel less pressure.
His tone stays playful, but his eyes soften every time you take even a small bite.
"Say ahh...C'mon just this once !"
*snatch the fork from him*
*fake dies dramatically on the floor*
"How cruel !! ...You don't love me anymore, is it ?"
He’d relate to overworking, but he'd never let YOU burn out !
"Overworking doesn’t make you stronger... Even I rest when I must. If you fall, who’ll spar with me tomorrow, huh?"
He’d pull you away from your desk, drag you outside for fresh air, maybe even a few stretches or light training, just so you don't forget how free you are aside work !
When he finds out abt your ED
GONE TO STEAL PEOPLE'S RECIPES IN THEIR HOUSE !!
His new "challenge" is to make you the best meals ever !! Hoping it’ll encourage you to eat a bit more !
Sometimes he’s just so focused on his cooking that he could hear you calling for him but his brain would just short-circuit mild task wondering whether to attend the stove first or his beautiful lover calling for him.
He’d sit by you while you eat, never pushing, just staying there, presence as reassurance.
He’ll take any critic, it almost turns out as a game : he occasionally cooks meals he knows you’ll love, you honestly rate them.
He does 10 PUSH UPS at every small bites and efforts you make (careful beautiful he gonna look like a bodybuilder atp bc ik y'all make lots of efforts already and we’re proud of you aghhh !!)
He spins you in the air when you manage to finish a whole plate !(HE'S HEAD OVER HEELS FOR YOU OKAYYY)
He’s so energetic you almost forget your work every time…little did you know it’s his plan all long : he’s being himself and you get to rest !
Perfect match made in heaven !!
Unsurprisingly, perfectionism gets the best of him when it comes to you.
"These veggies look weird…I need to remake them."
"Akaza it’s the third time... I TOLD YOU IT LOOKS GOOD !"
"You're planning a war or something...?"
He'll joke about it at first but deep inside he knows what's happening...
"Overworking" oh dear he knows that word very well...
He’s bad at softness, so he tries to play nonchalant instead : snatching your pen or turning off the light.
"Rest already, idiot. You’ll end up like me."
No matter how hard he tries to ignore it, seeing you... reminds him too much of him.
He would, almost mindlesly, gently caress your hair to sleep at night. As if those gentle caresses would get the tiredness out of you for the night.
And when he finds out about your ED, his expression just falls.
He wouldn't yell nor be mad...just ready. Ready to give you even more support and balance.
He'll go seek Daki for advice and eventually would want to get into cooking, starting with small dishes to bigger ones but the common point of them all is, how much heart he pours in them. (he's so cutee stoppp)
"Food… it’s hard, huh? Feels like it’s against you sometimes."
He’ll never say outright how proud he is..when I can assure you HE IS MORE than proud of you !! But instead when you take a bite, he grins like he just won the world.
"Hey, you know the word "break" was made for a reason right ?"
She's always teasing you but deep down you know she def wouldn’t waste her saliva for no reason. That’s just her way of showing concern even if it’s clumsy like that.
When she finds out abt your ED she genuinely just :
"Oh...uh wait... WHAT !?"
She instantly sees herself in you.
No teasing or usual mocking, she was there too.
Big sister mode activated !!!
"Well…wanna.. share or something?"
Is her go-to sentence when she starts sensing you can’t take any more food.
She feels oddly protective of you but her natural sass prevent her from genuinely showing it.
But you can tell by how she always subtly checks on you.
Its almost as if her eyes naturally scan for you.
But soon enough, the mask drops and after that, she just becomes your biggest cheerleader !!
Doing your hair, helping you rest, literally feeding you little bites if she must. She'd constantly call you beautiful until you believe it again !
"Hey !!! In which color are we matching today ?"
NOW TO OUR ELEGANT MOON !!
At first she’ll just observe, wondering why you overwork yourself so much.
She’s thinking hard for ways to hide that laptop/ any supplies you overwork yourself with.
As some time passes, she’ll genuinely just blatantly make you understand that something is wrong: whereas by some subtle phrases or genuinely her staring at you nonstop on purpose for you to stop studying lol.
Yes, with that single eye of her. (I always feel like somebody’s watching me-)
But not totally commanding !! It’s more of a gentle plea in her mind.
She would use her biwa to teleport you back in the kitchen when you start saying you're not hungry !
Not to force but to try !!
She would never force you, just like the others. That’s where the line draws.
She’s just encouraging you in her own way, not loud not boisterous just little nods and smiles at every bite you courageously take.
She’s very proud of you even if it doesn’t always show on her face.
AND GURLL SHEEE is surprisingly an amazing cook !! Your personal chef at that, she puts tgt the very good amount of nutrients or proteins she thinks you could need to boost you up even if you eat few of it.
If you're observant enough you could see her eyes (well, eye, in her condition lol...) softening and lips twitching upward, a hint of a smile whenever she makes your meals !
If you feel good enough she would ofc not refuse a bit of company and help in the kitchen ! It always turns out in a sweet moment full of clumsiness and laughs.
And that way, you can also check and look out for the kind of aliments you're the most comfy with !
She JUST LOVES YOU OKAY !!
She's THE mom of the Upper Moons I'm not open to debate...😔
