Will Wood I Guess

:]

Trigger warning
Eating disorder

Will and Chris had just finished an episode for the podcast. It was roughly 1 pm and after recording for about 1 1/2 hours, they got pretty hungry. They decided on going to taco bell since it was the closest. Will drove as the two were talking.

"I really liked the episode. I feel like the fans are gonna like it a lot," Will said.

"I agree. I mean I feel like we got off topic a lot but I still feel like what we said was funny enough for an episode," Chris replied.

"Yeah but we always do that anyway so it's fine," Will said waving a hand as to dismiss Chris's comment.

"you're right," Chris said as he nodded.

The rest of the ride was peaceful.

They got to taco bell. Will was quite hungry but couldn't bring himself to order food. He wasn't sure why but it felt wrong too. He hadn't eaten in 4 days but when he thought about food, he'd feel incredibly sickly. Will knew he should eat something but he still couldn't.

While William was going through his dilemma, it was their turn to order. 

Chris ordered his food before looking over at Will, who had zoned out. he tapped will on the shoulder, causing will to come back to reality. 

"what do you want?" Chris said.

"oh I'm good, maybe just a Baja Blast?" Will replied uncertainly.

"Dude, you haven't eaten anything today, you feeling alright?" Chris said with concern.

Will nodded in return. Chris paid for the food before picking a table to sit at and wait.

Once seated, Chris turned to Will. 

"what's up with you, I mean I haven't seen you eat in DAYS, you okay?" Chris said emphasizing the word 'days'. 

Will felt a pit of guilt in his stomach. He didn't want to lie but he also didn't even know why he couldn't eat. He has had an eating disorder before but that was when he was a teenager. He wasn't felt like this though in a while.

Chris was snapping his fingers trying to get Williams's attention.

"Hello?? See this is what I'm talking about, you've been acting off,"

Snapping back to reality, Will replied with:

"Don't worry I promise you I'm fine. I'm just not feeling too well right now. it's not like I'm sick or anything, I just- I dont know...have lost my appetite,"

Chris could tell Will was lying but didn't want to call him out if he was struggling.

The food came out. Will only took a few sips of his Baja Blast. Chris began inhaling his food. 

Chris stared at Will, who was reading an article on his phone, for a minute noticing Will looking more tired and paler than usual. He looked almost dead. Chris was rethinking what Will was like on the podcast, he was quieter but when he did contribute, he made sure that what he was going to say was going to make Chris laugh.  

Will was fiddling with the straw of his drink while scrolling on his phone. he was reading an article before getting a notification from Twitter. Although he didn't use Twitter often, he still had it. Will had found a thread about how he had gained weight. He immediately felt insecure. He closed the app, hoping the tweets would just disappear. Will looked up seeing Chris eating.

"Hey, after this,  you wanna just... I don't know... hang out?" Will said feeling anxious for no reason.

They're housemates, they've hung out tons of times. They haven't done it recently, unless it was for an episode of the podcast, but that was still no reason to be anxious.
