A Table For One~Kagehina

What It Was

Filler chapter

(I would recommend sticking around to read it, though. There's still some new and hella important information.)

(Thank you to my dear friend for pointing out an error in this chapter. It has been fixed!)

Shouyou didn't leave after too long. His mom picked him up from Tobio's house after ten long minutes. Shouyou thanked Tobio for his hospitality, then got into his mom's car as she drove off.

Tobio couldn't help looking back over the past few hours. He was exhausted beyond belief. But his mind kept racing back and forth, every thought revolving around the small ginger.

Shouyou had finally began eating once off the phone with his mom. He seemed so much more relaxed and aware as he finally ate some food.

Tobio wasn't sure when the last time he had eaten was. It was strange, you would think he would inhale any food given to him after what could've been hours to days without food. He had said his father kicked him out three days prior, after all.

Then again, Tobio had seen how the boy ate the café. Perhaps his body was used to his low appetite after dealing with it for so long.

Tobio was no doctor, but he had heard stories about how the body works and how when getting food below what's normal, it would use the food that's given simply to keep the body's vitals working.

He wondered how the boy ate when he was at his dads. Was it really all puppy dogs and rainbows before he was kicked out? Or was there something else? And what was it that happened at school that caused his father to kick the poor boy out. Who exactly was he dating?

There were too many questions spearing through Tobio's head to even get a wink of sleep, it it wasn't long before the sun rose and he had to get back to school.

He wasn't quite sure if he would see Shouyou in any of his classes after the previous night.

And his thoughts were deemed accurate when Tobio saw the empty seat that the ginger boy usually sat in in his history class.

Tobio hoped Shouyou was getting the help he needed with his mother.

And he hoped Shouyou would eat more too. Something about that boy and food didn't seem right. And Tobio was dead set on finding out what it was.
