Tw eating disorder talk
That night Neteyam waited for his family to fall asleep before he set off to the beach to meet with Ao'nung.
As he walked down to the beach his stomach carried loud butterflies, flying around.
He got to the beach and started walking along the foamy shores.
There is when he saw Ao'nung, sat on a blanket with all sorts of food spread out on its soft fluffy surface.
"There's the boy I was waiting for" Ao'nung calls out, standing up and walking towards Neteyam.
Neteyam stops in his tracks as he sees Ao'nung coming towards him
"Hey" is all he could get out
Ao'nung comes over and holds out his arm, Neteyam takes it with his own. Showing the respect they had for one another.
"Well come take your pick. It took me ages to make all of this and get it out here, without my mother seeing" he says gesturing Neteyam to come closer to the blanket.
"Thank you" he says
"It's alright, really" Ao'nung replies
"No seriously, thank you I really appreciate this" Neteyam says
"I know. But it's all good anything to make a pretty boy like you happy" Ao'nung says
"Wow so bold" Neteyam says blushing as he sits down on his knees.
Eyes flicking around all the types of food spread in front of him.
His stomach starts to turn, and his mind wonders further than the stars.
"When was the last time you ate?" Ao'nung asks pulling him out of the trance.
"Ummm, it doesn't matter" Neteyam says back lowering his ears in shame
"Yes it does" Ao'nung says a little firmly
"3 days ago" Neteyam blurts our in shame
"Why must you not fuel yourself with the needed necessities to live?" Ao'nung asks
"I don't know, I never want to eat, it's just so hard to be perfect to look perfect" Neteyam replies
"It's ok I understand the burden of being the chiefs son and it is hard, trying to be perfect, to look perfect. But not eating for days seriously fucks you up man. It could really hurt you" Ao'nung says
"I know and I shouldn't do it, but it's better than the other things i could do" he replies
"What do you mean by that?" Ao'nung asks his eyebrows furrowed, scared to hear the answer
" I don't know. Like hurt myself I guess" Neteyam says lowering his head down, avoiding Ao'nungs strong gaze
"Oh, but this is hurting yourself. Not eating, it's hurting your body" Ao'nung says
"I know but the pain I carry in my head is too hard to deal with, physical pain I can deal with. It takes the burden off of my mind" Neteyam says looking up into Ao'nungs wide and ocean blue eyes
" the thoughts in my head about who I am and who I could be, fight with me every day" he says
"When did it start? The not eating?" Ao'nung asks cautiously.
"When a boy kissed me back home a couple years ago. I hated myself for it. It is not natural, but I enjoyed it. I wanted more of him" Neteyam bursts out
"Oh is that it, you kissed a boy. Neteyam that is the most normal you could ever be. Love is love, it doesn't matter who it is as long as you are happy" Ao'nung says placing a gentle hand on Neteyams shoulder.
