Summary:

Shiro is getting better at this. He hasn’t heard “sir, I need you to see this” in a few days now. It’s still hard to step away sometimes, he still feels guilty when he does sometimes, and sometimes it’s just plain impossible and that’s to be expected in the middle of a war. But he’s getting better at telling the difference between the times when he really needs to push through and the times he just thinks he does.

But the thing about progress is, it’s not a straight line.

Sometimes you slip.

And sometimes you fall all the way back to square one.

[In which Curtis helps Shiro take some baby steps toward learning to take care of himself a little better. Also I can't stop laughing because I looked at my inbox this morning and inexplicably, out of all the shit I've written for this show THIS is the fic that got me anon hate. Sorry your ship got sunk, anon. Hope you feel better soon.]
