He raised an eyebrow, putting his phone down and giving me his full attention.

"Something's... wrong. With lover. I mean, not wrong, well, it's... it's not good..." I said, trying to figure out how the fuck to put this into words.

He nodded, giving me a clear-cut signal to continue.

"I think- well, I know, cause she told me. Um. Basically, lover has some form of eating problems? She just, doesn't... eat sometimes, I guess? Is what... I picked up, from that... conversation..." my voice died down as I studied his expression, the confusion morphing into anger, then fear, disbelief, you know, the average life experience.

His jaw tightened, he swallowed and gave a small nod. The action practically screamed 'What the fuck is going on?' Which is me every day during school.

"Did she... say... why?" He hesitated then asked.

I thought back on the earlier conversation, the one I couldn't ever forget.

"Body image, I'm pretty sure," I answered with a swallow.

He nodded slowly. Again.

He glanced back at lover, then at me.

"Do her parents know?" He asked.

I shook my head. "No. And we're not telling them. Her parents are dicks," I informed.

He sighed, but agreed. "Alright. Uh, will she eat? Like, sushi?"

I bit my lip, and sighed. "Maybe. If we eat it alone. Together." I said, my face contorted in thought.

Jax nodded, taking a deep breath and flopping
Back against the bed.

Jax's dad came in the room about 20 minutes later, a tray of 2 different sushi rolls on it. He smiled at us and put it on Jaxon's coffee table, then left.

I took a deep breath and shook Lover awake. Well, tried to. The girl was tired.

She let out a little whine and buried herself further into me, her grip tightening around me.

I let out a snicker, and took my phone out, recording her with the arm that wasn't around her.

"Lover... you gotta wake up..." I said softly.

Another whimper. She buried her head even further into me, if that was possible. I stopped recording and put my phone down.

I pulled away from her a little, causing her to chase me back.

"Lov, wake up," I laughed, Jaxon letting out a snicker beside us.

She sighed, accepting her fate as her eyelashes slowly fluttered open.

She's so cute.

"Hi. Good morning." I teased.

"Shuddup..." Lover murmured, rubbing her eyes.

She looked up at me with those wide blue eyes, and gave a slow blink as her vision came into focus.

"What timessit..." She asked softly, as she propped herself up on her elbows.

"Jaxon, what time is it?" I asked, looking up at him.

He went to check his phone. I could've done the same, but in no universe am I putting effort into that.

"4:31," he answered.

I nodded. "4:31," I told lover, who giggled a little.

I sat up against the closet wall, and she sat up with me, leaning on my side as I was taller then her, and I always would be, you short little fuckers.

Jaxon got up and put the amount of food he wanted on his plate, and handed us the leftovers.

I ate one, then handed her the chopsticks.

"No, I'm okay," she shook her head subtly, pushing the chopsticks back to me.

Jaxon and I exchanged a glance.

See what I mean?

"Lover," I said simply, tilting my head.

"Rep," she countered.

I picked up a roll and held it out to her.

She sighed, looking at me pleadingly.

"No. No negotiation. Eat." I demanded.

She gulped and leaned forward, begrudgingly eating.

"Good girl." I nodded approvingly, patting her head.

She blushed and nodded, looking away and fiddling with her hands.

I ate another bite, and held another one out to her.

She bit her lip but ultimately decided to eat it, chewing slowly.

I smiled at her and ate another of my own.

I offered another one, but she shook her head.

"Lover. You had two-" I started.

"Rep, please," she pleaded, her adorable fucking eyes looking up at me as if she were a kicked puppy.

"Well- but... you have to... you only..." I trailed off, looking at her expression.

Her pout only deepened as she saw my reaction.

"Stop. No. Don't- what... no." I stammered.

She smiled victoriously and leaned into me, curling up to me.

I sighed and ate the rest, knowing I would be getting nowhere if I tried to eat more.

I set the plate aside, wrapping my arm around the smaller girl as she pressed a soft kiss to my upper neck.

Lover's Pov:

I wrapped my arm around Rep's now free waist, starting to get comfortable. Then, Jaxon spoke up.

"I don't wanna third-wheel, can we play Mario Cart?" He begged.

(I'm aware it's KART I'm js not gonna get copywrited)

"Yeah," Rep answered, pulling away and getting up.

I sighed at the loss of contact, but got up, and stretched out.

Jaxon's eyes were on me as I moved, and that was the worst time as my sleeve fell down to my elbow.

I went to yank it down, but Jaxon's eyes had already widened as much as they could go. Rep wasn't looking, though. I pulled my sleeve down, hoping I could lie my way out of this.

"What the fuck happened to your arm?!" He exclaimed, and Rep's head snapped over.
