Hi I knew my next thing was going to be a Halloween fic and I promise that is still coming, but right now I needed to get this out.
(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:
Charlie has been doing pretty good with eating until this week. It has been awhile since he has last seen Geoff because he was on vacation and was already booked. His family thought nothing of it since Charlie was doing so well. The weekend came and weekends were always really hard for Charlie. He had no routine to go off of which he hated. He didn't have school the day before which didn't help because he barely ate. He got distracted in his tasks that he simply forgot.

Today was exactly the same except it was the weekend. He got up early to do homework and didn't check his phone. Once he was done his family wanted to go into town for the farmer market since it was the last outdoor one. He ate a bagel there, but that was it. He was starting to get annoyed, but that was only because he was in the car and started to get overstimulated. Of course his parents thought it was because he was hangry. They offered to get food, but everyone agreed to just eat at home.

Once he got home he swore he was going to eat, but he got distracted in his work. He had his homework done so he could do the fun stuff. So that's what he did: he tidied up his room and organized his plushies. His mom went to the store and just came back.

"Charlie, did you eat lunch?"

"Yeah"

"What did you have?"

"Mac n cheese"

She left and he was lying. He forgot to eat again. She came back.

"Charlie, did you actually eat lunch?"

"Yes"

"Well there is no spoon in the sink or mac n cheese cup in the rubbish."

"YOU WENT THROUGH THE FUCKING RUBBISH"

"Why didn't you just tell me the truth"

"Idk"

"Charlie, you need to eat. Why didn't you eat? Why did you lie to me?"

"CAN YOU STOP INTERROGATING ME?"

"I would if you didn't lie to me because this keeps happening."

"Ugh can you just leave me alone"

"Not until you eat"

"I'm going to Nick"

"No you aren't"

Charlie didn't care. He took his phone and a rubber band and pushed his way past his mom and ran to Nick. He knew he needed to eat, but someone telling him to eat made everything worse. He snapped the rubber band against his wrist. He had a lot of urges, but Geoff told him to do this instead. Thankfully he got to Nick and the door was unlocked.

He went straight to his room and Nick was sitting on his beanbag with his computer. Charlie flopped onto his bed.

"Hey what's wrong?"

Charlie started violently sobbing and took Nick's pillows and punched them.

"Hey it's okay"

"JANE," Charlie screamed out.

"Oh"

"I fucking hate her. I know I need to eat, but telling me to do so is not going to help the situation."

"I know, baby. Just let all your frustration out and I'll text my mom to make something easy for you."

"Thank you," he managed to say.

Charlie spent the next 20 minutes screaming and punching the pillows. Eventually Nick noticed he was stuck so he put on some music because that helped Charlie calm down and he could channel his anger into dancing. Finally Sarah was done making Charlie's favorite pasta. They put on Bluey and he ate and felt much better.

Notes:

Sorry for all the angst I hope you enjoyed this though. I promise Halloween fic is coming. I have 2 of them just need to write them.
