This is a re-write after a comment I got about this one fitting well with Adrien, so here's a longer version of last chapter!
Please enjoy!

He looked at herself in the mirror, as he stood in only his undergarments.
Adrien had a thin outline and it kind of scared him and his kwami, but there was nothing he could do about it himself.
He couldn't stop himself as he checked his weight for the second time that day, or how he would wrap his index and thumb around his arm to see how thin he was.
He couldn't stop as he looked at her meal, already counting the calories without thinking, as he gulped down some glasses of water to trick himself into being full.
Adrien couldn't stop himself from hanging over the toilet, hurling, whenever he ate a little too much.
His own behaviour was taking it's toll on him, he would be dizzy, and scatter brained.
His mind would go foggy and he just wanted to eat. But as soon as he ate his lunch he'd hang over the toilet again, his mind calculating the calories he just had and his heart pounding in his ears.
Instead of being driven home he would take a walk, trying to keep himself upright as he tried to lose some extra calories.
The second he got home he went to his bathroom to, again, check his weight, disappointed when it was still the same as the day before...

"Please, Chat, eat somenthing," Ladybug urged, holding the box of cookies towards him, pleading expression on her face. "You're going to pass out if you keep this up."
His eyes went up to her face, his breath was shaking. "I can't, don't you understand?" He whispered. "I try, but it doesn't work, I just can't."
Her eyes softened as she sat down beside him on the rooftop. "You'll have to keep trying, Kitty." She softly said, she took his face in her hands and rested them there.
Their eyes were locked as he slightly shook his head. "You don't understand..."
She sighed. "Sadly I do."
His head shot up as he searched her face for a sign that she was lying to reassure him, but he couldn't find anything. "W-what?" He asked, baffled.
She looked slightly to the side. "Before I became Ladybug..." She took a deep breath. "I never at enough, because I live above a-" She stopped herself in search for the right words. "A place with a lot of food."
Adrien tilted his head, curious.
Ladybug looked at him, he looked absolutely adorable when he did that, but she pushed that thought aside, focusing on the task at hand.
"I always got bullied by a classmate of mine because of it and it made me extremely self-conscious." She wrung her hands together. "only when I got Tikki, I started eating normally, because of her pleas."
He looked at her wide eyed, he never thought about his lady doubting himself like that, to him she had always been perfect in his eyes. Sure she had her flaws, but that made her human.
"I never knew..." He said quietly.
"I never told you." She replied.
She opened the box and took out a cookie, holding it infront of him. "Please."
He took it with a slight shake, he hestitated as he brought it to his mouth, before taking a bite. "I didn't know there was anything that was as good as the Dupain-Cheng bakery."
Ladybug chuckled before showing the box. "Good thing there from there, then." She smiled.
"I should've known." He said with a slight shake of his head.
She looked at him, he already seemed a little better as he took another small, yet determined bite.
Her smile was fond as she grabbed her a cookie of her own, and not long after, her partner also grabbed one, making her smile broaden.
They sat there, the only sound was the that of cookies being devoured. They stayed a little after the cookies were all gone, until Ladybug stood up.
"I have to go." She said, as her chaton also stood up.
She smiled at him and he grinned back at her. She placed a quick kiss on his cheek, before taking her yo-yo and swinging away.
Adrien toched his cheek with a dopey smile, sure, he might not be fixed, but like she said, he could still try.
When he got home he went straight to bed, not caring that he still wire his clothes.
It felt good to finally have a full stomach.
Plagg laid down in the crook of his sleeping charge neck and nestled in quietly. "I'm proud of you, kitten." He purred softly.
Seems that talking to Ladybug had finally helped make some progress he couldn't have made on his own.

This is four times as long as the original, that's pretty amazing.
Does anyone have any suggestions for mental illnesses? I know a lot but deciding on characters and diseases is quite hard.
