Just some angst, make it end up however you want!! :D
Finn was offered to help with cooking dinner for the toons, 40 toons (not counting Vee because she can't eat), isn't that hard..right? Well, Sprout and Cosmo are doing an intervention when they noticed Finn was acting quieter and more distant: less puns, in his room more often, doesn't even talk much anymore, started refusing hugs or most forms of touch at all. What will they uncover? What's the truth..?

Whatever character is speaking, doesn't really matter
Intro
Sprout and Cosmo offered to let Finn assist, secretly setting him up for an intervention. Finn let's out nothing but a short, awkward laugh. Typical. Finn is in charge of chopping the vegetables for Toodles and Gourdy for their dinner, and he begins chopping carefully and a bit awkwardly, but he was trying not to mess up because he didn't like messing up too much. Decent speed, decent skills—although it could still use a bit of work. Finn keeps chopping away quietly, unusual of him. He always talks about marine biology and makes fish puns, but he has been recently awfully quiet.
Finn stopped for a moment to ask something. "Hey... Why did you two suddenly ask me to be an assistant?" He asked, going back to cutting the remainder of the vegetables. Sprout, the analytical strawberry toon he is, looked a bit closer at the fishbowl toons features and noticed just how tired he looked.
"Uh.." Sprout didn't know what to say at first, then shared a glance at the cosmic cake toon, Cosmo, who's preparing the pan to cook the pork. Cosmo muttered something about just telling him that they'll talk eventually. Sprout turned back to the toon, who's still chopping away, and softly sighed. "We'll talk eventually." He spoke up calmly, yet his tone carried a small hint of concern.
Finn perked up away, abruptly stopping his chopping and tilted his head slightly, trying not to accidentally spill water from his head. "Wait- what do you mean we'll talk eventually?" Finn asked, trying not to let himself stutter as his anxiety started to heighten a little. He tried to turn his attention back to the vegetables, cutting away at a slightly slower pace with hyper-vigilance starting to creep up on him. "Is it about me..? Did something happen..?" Finn asked a couple of questions, not sure how to feel at the vague we'll talk eventually.
Sprout sighed, and shot Cosmo a disappointed look that practically screamed: "You just made me make his anxiety worse, thanks." As he prepares the pork while Cosmo finishes preparing the pan. Finn finished chopping the vegetables, and put them in the bowl he was given for them, then handed the bowl of mixed vegetables to Sprout. "Uh.. Here.. Not sure if I did it right, but uh-" He paused, hesitating for a moment, "I'm sure I took everything seal-rious!" He said, making a stupid pun, realizing that they noticed his lack of making puns recently, trying to act like everything is fine.
Sprout noticed the force behind the last part, and his eyes narrowed a little, his face forming a worried look as he messed with his leaves that kinda look like hair, putting the bowl down and took a deep breath. "Finn.. Please... Stop pretending you're fine when I've already noticed a long time ago. Something is weighing you down, and we can't help you if we don't know whats wrong." Sprout couldn't hold back anymore, stepping towards Finn and putting a hand on his shoulder, his other hand grabbing the knife that Finn awkwardly held in his right hand. "Please.. Tell me what's going on. You've also been awfully quiet recently..." Sprout added, his artificial heart racing a little with internal anxiety and worry for the slightly younger man.
