Bliss (n.): perfect happiness; great joy. Louis knew that term very well some months ago. He was always in a state of bliss. With Valentin that blissful moment would come just from eye contact or the touch of his hands roaming Louis' body. Bliss came when his mother would read him and Leo a story and kiss their foreheads afterwards. Louis was in so many moments of bliss when he lived in France, what he considered home. Now however, that bliss... It seemed to disappear and hide within the dark shadows of the world, not wanting to face the evils that were to come.
After Louis tried to understand the situation that happened at that junk yard, all the pogues, including Leo who they picked up, got into the van and headed to the Wreck. Once there, a debate happened between Kie and her father about whether or not they could eat there, which after some persuasion he agreed. So here they all were now sitting at the table with food being thrown every which way, and stomachs being filled. For everyone that is besides Louis.
Louis had yet to touch his food, only moving the tray around with his hands every few seconds. His stomach ached for food yet Louis felt as if it would be a sin to even try a bite of what was before him. Louis couldn't pinpoint when and why he had this sudden dislike to eat, he assumes its from the chaos that has happened within the last few weeks and the guilt that ate at his heart, but he couldn't be so sure. All Louis knew what that he needed to punish himself for what has happened and starving was just one of the ways he did so.
Your fault.
Don't eat.
You deserve this.
JJ took attention to Louis' full plate, and quickly reach over to snap his fingers in Louis' face. Even if JJ was somewhat irritated at the situation that went down during the drone hunt, he couldn't blame Louis, and he was worried for the boy.
"Is the food bad? You know it won't poison you right?" JJ tries to joke, yet all he gets in return is a sideways glance and a sigh.
"Okay.... Why aren't you eating Mikey? What's going on in that pretty head of yours?"
"Just not hungry. Had a big breakfast." Louis mumbles, which was also a lie. He hadn't eaten anything for breakfast and he had no want to eat anything now.
"Oh... Well, you still should eat." JJ whispers.
"It's okay Jay. I'm really not that hungry."
JJ nods his head slowly at that. Concern building inside him but he attempts to push it down. He trusted Louis. If he had breakfast and wasn't hungry, than that's the truth.
Louis smiles shyly after that, silently thanking heaven above for stopping JJ from becoming too curious. He didn't need an interrogation.
Kie was busy serving the boys, and Leo was having a contest with John B on who could drink a milkshake the fastest, Pope as the referee. John B won, which resulted in Leo become grumpy and handing over a 5 dollar bill to Pope, as Pope bet that John B could win.
