¡chapter warning: mentions of an eating disorder!

~~

Evan awoke to the familiar disgusting oder clogging his nose. He shot up and looked around to see that the balcony door was open but the screen was closed. Jonathan sat outside taking a long drag from pure poison. Evan couldn't help but notice how calm Jonathan looked as he took another puff, closing his eyes and leaning his head back on the rough wall. Evan stood up and began walking towards the door.

"I know that I shouldn't smoke." Jonathan stated before he even got the chance to open his mouth. Evan wasn't gonna lie, it did surprise him that Jonathan had heard him from so far away still. Nonetheless, he opened the screen door as Jonathan put out his cigarette, dunking it in the knee high snow before chucking it over the edge of the balcony.

"I was gonna say that you should come inside because it's chilly out." Jonathan peered around, slightly embarrassed to see Evan's proud grin plastered amongst his face.

"Oops?" Evan laughed and yanked Jonathan inside, closing the balcony door completely. He quickly began to light a fire, and after 5 attempts, he finally succeeded.

"Ya know, if you get to close to those things while lighting 'em, you could burn your eyebrows and eyelash hair right off." Jonathan stated casually taking a seat at the edge of the bed.

"Oh yeah. Like that's gonna happen with these pro skills and industrial grade hair follicles." Evan struck a pose showing off his muscles and running a hand through his thick hair. Jonathan blushed slightly, but began laughing.

"Okay! Don't say I didn't warn you then!" They sat in front of the fire, talking aimlessly for 2 hours until Evan's noise made a loud grumble noise.

"Holy shit dude was that your stomach?" Jonathan began laughing.

"Yeah. I'm fucking starving. Do you wanna check out that restaurant they have?" Jonathan thought for a minute before agreeing.

The two began their walking down to the ground floor, once again, aimlessly talking about whatever had come to mind. They ate an interesting buffet style breakfast and while Evan piled his plate up, he couldn't help but notice that Jonathan had served himself barely anything. He sighed, deciding that that was something Jonathan probably already knew about and didn't wish to put Jonathan in a lower mood than he was in the previous night. He just merely sat watching as Jonathan barely ate anything that he'd served himself, which had been greek yogurt and mixed fruits, which consisted of 2 strawberries, half a banana and 7 grapes.

"I'm full." Evan sadly glanced at Jonathan as he looked back from him to his plate. Jonathan had eaten 1 strawberry, 3 grapes, 2 VERY small bites of the banana and about 3/4 of the greek yogurt.

"Okay. I am too. You ready to go then?" Jonathan simply smiled and nodded his head. The two stood and silently walked back to Evan's room. Jonathan couldn't help but silently appreciate that Evan had decided not to say anything about his eating disorder. He knew that he'd have to tell Evan about it someday, but for now he was thankful that Evan had decided to stay silent. Jonathan couldn't help but notice, however, that same shocked look that he'd seen many times appear on Evan's face when he watched Jonathan eat.
