Thank you Time of the Flame Heart, lenial125, Spnks15, and Spnfanforlife! It was a close thing, but honest Dean won by a hair! Fair warning, this story may have mentions of several eating disorders such as binge eating and anorexia, implied child/adult, and is 90% anst with only a little humor so be aware be warned be wary!
Sam got up at about seven in the morning and was surprised to find Dean awake as well.
"Hey Dean. I'm gonna go run and grab breakfast, what do ya want?"
"Well I don't usually want to eat anything at all, I just do it for your peace of mind and when I do eat it's a butt load because we learned when growing up that you don't know the next time you'll have food, and I cant take care of you if I'm malnourished."
Deans face turned horrified as soon as the words left his mouth. There was an awkward moment of silence that seemed to stretch out between them.
"Dean…?"
"Pie. I meant pie Sam. pie sounds good."
"Dean, are you okay?"
"Not generally, no, I have a lot of issues that I cant deal with because I'm emotionally inarticulate."
"…"
"I meant fine. Same as every other day. Nothing's changed."
"Are you meaning to say any of this?"
"No and I'd really like it to stop, I don't really enjoy talking about my feelings."
"OOOkkay then, I guess we have to do some research after I get some breakfast."
"Please don't leave."
Dean quickly threw a hand over his mouth as soon as that came out.
"What? Why?"
Dean glared at Sam as made an obvious effort to not say anything, but it didn't quite work.
"I have really bad abandonment issues and separation anxiety and I don't want you to ditch me again."
"Dean, why would you even be worried about that?"
"Well dad left me all the time without saying anything and then you left me alone on most holidays, for flagstaff, College, Ruby-"
"OKAY ENOUGH I GET IT! I'm sorry alright?"
It was plain to see that Dean felt like crap for rubbing all that in Sams face, but it wasn't like he had a choice.
"Can you maybe not keep asking me direct questions that I have to answer?"
Sam sighed.
"Yeah sure Dean, but we're talking about this later."
"So you're still leaving?"
The broken voice that came out of Deans mouth made him want to kick someones butt for making him so scared he was gonna ditch him. Preferable his own butt since he was the source.
"Yeah, and you're still eating, but you can with."
Deans face brightened a bit.
Thank you all for reading, and please remember to review!
