i have posted this chapter to give you a bit of something before i disappear for a few weeks. i am going to go to Thailand and won't be back until early September. i am bringing my laptop with me and as the chapters are already written, i could post but i simply do not know how much time i have for it. plus, i have a shitty memory else you'd be having a chapter around about every day (however, i can't remember to update until later on). either way, here's another chapter that i hope finds you well. there is also a poll on my profile page that i would like answered though you do not have to. they are things i have thought of as a basis for many stories.


Chapter 29
Caffeinated Things


"You are stupid, Hummel."

"I heard caffeine speeds up the metabolism."

"So you drank three litres of really strong ass black coffee? Like all in one go?"

"Shut up, Sebastian. I think I'm seeing dead people all over our living rooms. Have my hands stopped shaking yet? I think I got rid of my headache…maybe."

"You were just telling me about how dehydrating that shit is. What was I supposed to tell the doc? My boyfriend thought that caffeine would speed up his metabolism so he drank enough to get an IV stuck in his wrist?"

"I thought that I was studying for an exam anyway, so I might as well."

"So, I might as well drink enough to send me to a hospital? You got me worried, Hummel. I skipped watching reruns of Friends for you."

"How you love me."

"I got you a teddy bear. And a lot of chocolate."

"I'm not eating chocolate. If I eat one piece, I'll eat all of it."

"And that's a bad thing? Really, Hummel? You are in the hospital."

"Yes, that is a bad thing. I cannot afford to gain anymore weight."

"This is like chocolate you eat at the hospital. It has no calories. Come on, Hummel. You dieting was so stupid that you drank enough to get you send to the hospital. So I got you water, chocolate, teddy bears—enough to fill the whole fucking room and now, you say you don't want any?"

"And what's that smell? That glorious, beautiful smell?"

"I also got you Chinese, because you are so pale that you look like the shade of white the whole hospital is in."

"I'm not eating, Sebastian."

"Yes, you are. Fuck it. Stop being a kid."

"This is the first time I actually stuck to a diet plan and I will not have your temptations wreck havoc upon it again."

"You forgot the part where you are in the hospital. Fuck diets, Hummel. You need energy."

"My body can get energy from its fat stores."

"So can mine but you don't see me starving myself senseless. Eat your Chinese and chocolate, Hummel. I paid for that crap so that you can eat and have colour in your cheeks again. If you don't eat, I'm gonna tell your Dad."

"My Dad? He knows I'm in the hospital?"

"Dammit, Hummel, of course he does. He is getting a ticket to New York because you are in the hospital. I told him you tried to diet and it ended up with you being in the hospital."

"…no. You didn't say that."

"Why not? It's true?"

"This was all a part of your plan, you scum. He thinks I haven't been eating and that is why I passed out, not because I drank enough to dehydrate myself severely as I forgot to increase my water intake simultaneously. Sebastian!"

"Eat your chocolate, Hummel."

"If you give me one good reason why I should, I might consider it."

"Well, your Dad is going to skin you alive if you're not eating. That's one and the second one is because chocolate contains caffeine and like you said…caffeine speeds up the metabolism."
