Hey guys! This is gonna be a short one. It just came to me out of nowhere. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who revied and favorited my other fic. Also, I'm still continuing my Eagon fic so watch out for that. Bye!
Internal Emptiness
Shuusei stared at his plate, barely disguising his disgust for the meal. It wasn't that the food itself was bad, it was the thought of eating that made him want to throw up. If there had been anything in his stomach to throw up. The only reason he had come to the meal in the first place was because Hotsuma had begged him to. Shuusei could see that Hotsuma worried about him and Shuusei hated to see his partner upset, but there were something that he just couldn't bring himself to do.
The others had noticed him getting thinner and paler. They noticed how he rarely came to meals and the few occasions that he did, he ate very little. The other Zweilt, particularly Tooko and Hotsuma, offered him food in an almost obbsesive compulsive way. He always turned them down,claiming that he already ate and that he wasn't hungry. For the most part it wasn't a lie. He never was hungry, but they were never satisfied until they actually saw him eat something, no matter how small.
Shuusei excused himself from the table, ignoring the concerned looks that the others gave him. He went to his room, hoping that no one, Hotsuma in particular would follow him there. Of course, he was never that lucky. Barely a minute after Shuusei closed the door, he heard knocking.
"Come in." he called, already knowing who it was. Just like he expected, the door was opened by none other than God's Voice himself. And just like he predicted, Hotsuma was carrying a tray of food. But he didn't look angry, like Shuusei thought he would. Instead, Hotsuma looked sad, almost unbearably so. It broke Shuusei's heart to see his partner looking so sad, but it hurt even more to know that he was the one causing it. Hotsuma didn't stay to watch him eat, like he normally would. He stayed long enough to set the tray down and mumble a choked "Eat, please."
Hotsuma left his partner's room quickly. He couldn't bear another night of watching Shuusei choke down food that obviously made him sick. He couldn't stand waking up in the middle of the night to the sound of Shuusei throwing up again . He definetley didn't want the looks of pity he got from the others, whenever they saw Shuusei not eating.
That night Hotsuma pretended not to hear the awful sounds coming from the bathroom.
