Thank you kurlyfrykay for this idea (:
Luke was completely mesmerized by the speed at which Michael fingers were moving over the controller. There was a candy cigarette hanging from his mouth, and he was talking to whoever was on the other side of his headset.
Michael was so committed to his video games, but he wanted Michael to go hiking with him.
"Michael? Can we go hiking today?" Luke asked, and Michael laughed.
"What the heck? We're both fat and lazy? What makes you think that would be enjoyable?" Michael said and Luke frowned a little but Michael couldn't see him.
Luke sighed and sat down beside Michael. Michael looked over at Luke and grabbed his face, kissing his cheek.
"You have fat cheeks it's so adorable.." Michael muttered, turning back to his game. "...but yeah if you wanna go hiking, that's cool with me. It's about time we tried getting in shape." Michael joked, but Luke didn't find it funny at all.
He looked down at his huge thighs, and pulled them up to his chest in a way that didn't make them look like they were giant.
"Michael, I wanna talk to you." Luke said, so Michael nodded, keeping his eyes on the screen though.
"No, Michael I'm serious." Luke said, but Michael didn't hear him.
He sighed and just sat back, deciding to not tell Michael if he wasn't even gonna listen.
"Hey thunder thighs? Will you get me a water?" Michael asked and Luke looked over at him, feeling his nerves build up.
Him and Michael always call each other names like ugly, butt face, and other dumb stuff like that, but this is the first time Michael has used Luke's weight.
Luke eyes filled with tears as he walked up to the tv, turning off the Xbox.
"I need to talk to you now." He said, so Michael hesitantly took off his headset.
Luke sat back down and Michael became nervous when seeing the tears in Luke's eyes.
"Michael, I haven't told you this, ever. It's something I've been trying to deal with on my own, but I can't anymore..." Luke whispered and Michael turned more towards him.
"When i was 18, I always thought I was a little bigger than what I wanted, so I thought maybe if I skipped a few meals than it would eventually pay off, and I could stop there. I became addicted to feeling hungry, and I couldn't stop like I thought I could. I'm not mad at you, and I love the way we can joke around, but please don't make any more jokes about my weight because I've always hated-"
He was cut off by Michael tackling him in a hug.
"Baby I never meant to hurt you." Michael whispered and Luke softly cried on his shoulder. He's never told anyone before.
"I just can't stop and I- I need your h-help." He cried softly, Michael letting tears fall into the shoulder of Luke's shirt as well.
"Sweetheart, you're so beautiful and I'm gonna help you with this, I promise."
