Tw eating disorder talk

"Hey Teyam, what's that?" Aonung asked as Neteyam came and sat next to him, a basket in his hand

"I cooked some food, you've said you wanted to try my cooking, so when I made dinner for my family I made a little extra to sneak here with me" Neteyam said sitting down and proudly opening the basket.

Showing off his masterpieces.

Specially made with love for his family, he wanted to enjoy it with them but he felt the need to lay off a little longer before eating, he knew Aonung would make him eat even if he didn't want to.

A smile creeps on Aonungs face. Staring at Neteyam with an undisguised love for the boy.

"What?" Neteyam giggled feeling a heat come across him.

"Nothing, you've just come so far you know. When I first met you, you hadn't eaten in days, nearly fainting into me, now you eat every single day. I am so proud of you Teyam. I hope you know that. Yet again if you hadn't we wouldn't have met properly" Ao'nung said admiring the courage the boy in front of him had.

In that moment Neteyams realized just how much Aonung really care for him, just as much as he did for the other.

It wasn't some coverup to use against him, like the other boy from his home.

"Thank you Nung. But you know only part of that is true" Neteyam said his head hung down in slight shame.

One for his feelings, two for his thoughts.

"How so Teyam?" Ao'nung asked his eyebrows furrowed worried for his 'bestfriend'

"I only eat with you, no one else. For some reason you are the only person I am comfortable enough to see me eat. I don't even know how my family don't notice it, they only ever notice me when I do something wrong" Neteyam said looking up to see Aonungs worried face

"Oh, so really you haven't gotten better. You only eat with me, I'm glad I make you comfortable but you have to eat more than once a day Teyam. I know I've told you this before but it's really bad for you, I don't want to see you like that" Ao'nung said moving over to Neteyam to pull him into a hug

Neteyam returned the hug, wrapping his arms around Aonungs shoulders

"Yeah I know, but my father is still hard on me, possibly even worse than before now that we're here. It's just hard. I want to eat, I'm hungry all the time. But the thoughts in my head tell me not to. Because if I look good then it will mask everything I fuck up" He said smooshing his cheek on Aonungs shoulder.

"I understand Teyam, I promise. But you are perfect, everything about you is perfect. That is why I love you" Ao'nung said hiding the slight blush on his face

"You love me?" Neteyam asked pulling away from the hug

"Of course I do, you're my best friend" Aonung said

"Thank you Nung" Neteyam said picking out something from his basket and bringing it up to his lips. Reaching back to grab something before handing it to Aonung

"Nung, that's a new one" Aonung said smiling while eating Neteyams cooking.

"Oh, I guess it just rolls off the tongue easier" Neteyam said, blushing slightly

"Yeah I guess it does, I like it" Aonung giggled.

Neteyam covered up his blush by taking another bite of his meal.

"We always talk about me, what's going on in your life" Neteyam asked

"Well you are the only person I really hang out with anymore, you already know everything about me" Aonung said
