Malnourished

😋 Hello, hope you are having a good day. Please give me some Humans prompts. This story is post season 1.

It had been a year since Niska went her own way and they had to leave Fred for dead. Leo grieved for his brother. He was so depressed that he had stopped eating. He hadn't had something to eat for 2 months. Mia and Max saw that Leo was getting very pale and thin. They had found an abandoned house and had been staying there for a week. Mia went to see Leo. Leo was on his bed with his head on his knees and his arms around his legs. He looked out the window.

"Leo, breakfast is ready." Mia said.

"I'm not hungry." Leo answered.

"Leo, you need to eat something."

"I ate last night. I'm fine."

"Ok."

Mia kissed Leo's forehead and left.

"Where's Leo?" Max wondered.

"In his room like always." Mia replied.

"He's been depressed for a year, Mia. All he does is sit on that bed and do nothing. He's getting sick. We need to do something before it gets worse."

"I know. How about you two go for a walk. You can talk to him."

"Sure."

An hour later, Max went to Leo's room.

"Hey, Leo. How about we go for a walk?" Max asked.

"Not right now. I'm busy." Leo mumbled.

"Doing what? Come on, it's a nice day. You need the fresh air."

"Fine."

Leo got his shoes on and went outside with Max. As they walked, Max saw that Leo was stumbling a bit.

"Are you ok?" Max questioned.

"I'm fine." Leo murmured.

"Leo, please don't lie. I know something's bothering you. Mia knows too. You've fallen into depression. We won't to help you but you keep pushing us away. Please let us help you. You can't grieve alone. Please tell us."

"I..."

Max saw that Leo had stopped and was panting.

"What is it, Leo?" Max wondered.

"I don't feel good." Leo moaned before collapsing. Max kneeled down next to Leo. Leo was half-conscious.

"Leo, stay with me." Max ordered. Leo opened his eyes and then closed them. "No, Leo. Stay with me. You need to stay with me." Leo opened his eyes.

"'m tired."

"I know. Just stay awake, Leo."

"I can't."

Max picked Leo up and carried him home. When they got home, Max put Leo on his bed. He took Leo's shoes off. Mia came in and saw that Leo was weak.

"What happened?" Mia asked.

"He collapsed. Can you try to figure out why?" Max replied.

"Sure."

SO Mia checked Leo over while Max charged Leo. Leo began to wake up. Mia put her hands on Leo's face.

"Leo, When was the last time you ate something?" Mia questioned.

"I don't know. About 2 months ago." Leo whimpered.

"Oh, Leo. How about the last time you drank something?"

"A few days ago."

"Oh, Leo. Why haven't you been eating?"

"I just want to sleep."

"Not till you answer my question."

"Because I was stupid."

"Oh, Leo. You're not stupid."

"Just leave me alone."

"I'll go make you some soup. You need to a few bites."

Leo nodded. Mia kissed his forehead and left to make Leo some soup. Leo shivered as he realized how cold he felt. Max took the blanket underneath Leo and covered Leo. Then he sat on the edge of the bed. Leo rolled over onto his side.

"Why do you think you're stupid, Leo?" Max wondered.

"I don't want to talk about it right now." Leo replied.

"You need to talk about it, Leo. I don't want to lose my brother. I need you. Is this about Fred and Niska?"

Leo nodded.

"Leo, they wouldn't want you to do this to yourself. They love you. Please don't do this." Max sighed.

"I'm sorry." Leo cried.

"I know. Just promise me you won't do this again."

"I promise."

"Come here."

Leo sat up and hugged Max. Leo cried. Max just hugged Leo and spoke words of comfort to him. After several minutes, Leo fell asleep. Mia came in with soup.

"Leo, I have your lunch." Mia said. Then she saw Leo. "What happened?"

"He let it out." Max replied.

"Good."

So Leo began to recover. He never tried to stop eating again.
