Sage pov:

i woke up with a massive headache.

"sage you scared me," wilbur whispers, laying his head on my chest.

"i'm sorry." i whisper back.

"you stay here, i'm going to get you something to eat." he stands up and walks to the door.

my stomach drops, food. i want to gag at the thought.

"no i'm ok, i'm not hungry." i assure him.

"sage," he sighs and sits back down on the bed. "when did you last eat?"

"umm," i sit up. "yesterday last night. of course."

"nope you used that excuse when i offered a sandwich yesterday." he looks at me sternly. "the only time i've seen you eat is two months ago when i took you out for lunch. and you only ate a little bit of your salad."

"wilbur, i'm fine, trust me."

"i can't when your lying to my face."

i felt a pang of guilt.

"now tell me." he cups his hands on my cheeks. "when did you last eat?"

"the lunch date, but i'm drinking fruit smoothies."

"sage, we went out for smoothies twice. i know for a fact your basically living off of water coffee and monsters." he sighs again. "why? why don't you want to eat?"

"cause i'm fat ok, i look awful and-" i stop myself, i can't tell him my father fatshamed me, he won't understand.

"oh sage." he hugs me and tears roll down my cheeks and onto his shirt. "please eat something, i can't have you starving yourself to death."

wilbur makes me half a sandwich and a glass of water and sets it on the table.

"just take a few bites, please."

i look down at the plate and my stomach cramps at the thought.

i lift it up to my mouth slowly and open my mouth.

he's watching you eat, he thinks your fat, you weigh too much stop eating.

i drop the sandwich. "i can't."

"yes you can. please, for me."

i take a small bite and swallow. my stomach hurt now. i held my stomach in pain and a small tear rolls down my cheek.

he held my hand. "your doing great," he rubs my knuckles.

i try to take another bite but my thoughts stop me.

he's judging you, why can't you eat? he's going to breakup with you cause your a fucking charity case.

"i can't eat anymore wil."

"you did so well though, please try. i'll be with you the whole time."

that's kinda the problem. your watching me eat. i barely want to and it feels condescending.

"i'm fat, i can't keep eating."

"look sage, i'll make myself a sandwich." it's takes five minutes and he sits back down with a whole sandwich. "whatever size but you take, i'll eat twice as much, got it?"

he took two full bites and swallows. "now look at me, i've been eating way more than you for the past two months, do you think i'm fat?" he asks. no he's perfect. i shake my head. "just take another bite please. you need food." he says, comfortingly.

i put the sandwich to my mouth and take a bite. i swallow and my stomach cramps up again.

i groan in pain and clutch my stomach again.
wilbur takes two bites of his sandwich. "your doing great, i'm so proud of you."

i tear up a bit. "no one's told me that in a while."
after hearing that, he gets up and hugs me.

my stomach churns in pain and i feel awful.

"can we take a break?"

"ok, but we're going to eat dinner," he said sternly, i nod my head, still feeling guilty.

wilbur's pov:

sure i never saw them eat but i've been really busy with the band, work making videos, and streaming. they always told me they ate before then and i had no reason to question. how could i be so stupid?! ugh! what the fuck is wrong with me? i saw them get skinny but i didn't think anything of it.

"i'm sorry." sage whispers as they put their head on my shoulder. "i'm sorry i can't eat. i'm sorry i lied, i'm sorry i didn't tell you sooner, i'm sorry-"

i cut them off. "it's ok, i'm not mad. i'm going to help you, i promise." i hugged them, holding their fragile body in my arms.

i made a salad and served sage a good amount, not small, not big.

i served it to them and saw their face drop. "thank you." they say, still sad. it broke my heart seeing them like that.

"no problem, but don't think your going to sweet talk your way out of eating." i joke.

"aw man." they chuckle, trying to be happy but i still see a hint of sadness on their face.

i serve myself a good portion of food, a little more than sage and sat down next to them.

"i don't wanna." i hear them mumble.

"sorry, you have to." i say sympathetically, my heart hurts at their predicament. "please try."they take a small bite of their food and i smile. i see them squint and clutch their stomach. "your doing great. ok?" they shake their head. "yes you are sage."

they eat a little more and i congratulationed them.

"wilbur i don't wanna." they put their head in their arms.

"it's ok, you almost finished it. we can watch tv? take baby steps," i walk over and hug them. "come on let's watch tv ok?"
