Flippy And Fliqpy Roleplay!

SECTION 2: HOLIDAYS AT HOME Part 2

Fliqpy sat on the bed but he couldn't take it. Why was everything so complicated ?! He didn't need anyone to be worried about him. He needed to be stronger and stronger and stronger, to keep his brother safe. He didn't have time to rest.
He couldn't stand the wait when his parents were talking with his brother about this. He put his training clothes on and walked right out of the house, running off before anyone could stop him, to have a jog around the town.

.............

After a long talk, Flippy finally left the living room. His parents have been much more understanding than he thought they'll be, even if they seemed worried. He was happy about telling them the truth.
When he came back to the bedroom, he found it empty. His brother wasn't there, his shoes and trainning clothes gone too. Flippy sighed.
He sat by the window, lost in his thoughts. His gaze was running trough the forest beside the house. A nostalgic smile came to his lips. He and his brother had played so much in this forest!
Then, an old memory hit his mind. He got up and ran down the stairs, giving a small : "I'm out for a walk !" To his foster parents before exiting to house.
He was walking in the forest, slowly. A lot of memories were flowing through his head. And then he finally reached the place he was heading for.
The old hut that they built back when they were little. They used to call it the headquarters, and it was next to the river that cut the forest in half.
Flippy carfully entered and sat in the middle. This place was so calm and peaceful. He felt disconnected from everything else, like he was in another dimension. He felt like he was where he was supposed to be.

.............

Fliqpy ran through the forest.
Away from the city and all the noises, trying to calm his nerves. He felt a bit sick, after the food he ate, but since he already threw up, he wasn't particularly concerned.
At some point he spotted something by the river that he hasn't seen in a long time.
Their old headquarters. The hut they used to play in. He walked slowly inside and to his surprise, his brother was there. He didn't know how to feel about it, so he walked over to his brother and asked him.

"Well, what did they say?"

...........

Flippy gave him an absent look.

"They said that they were proud of us for getting out of this mess alive and they'll alway be there if we need them. Dad said he was going to give you a smaller portion of food next time so you can slowly get used to eating a bit more."

He came back to staring at nothing, listening to the water running. His head was blank. He just... wanted to stay here a bit longer. Here everything was fine.

...............

"You like it here don't you ?"

Flippy only nodded at the question. Fliqpy realised how his brother felt, so he decided to let him be.

"If you want to chat, I'm there for you alright ?"

He said and his brother looked back at him and smiled.
"sure."
he replied and stared into the distance again. Fliqpy quietly walked out and ran off. After another hour or so of running, he got home.

"Mom, dad I'm home !"

He yelled through the house and his mum walked in front of him.

"Where have you been ?"
"I've been running. Flippy wanted to be alone for a bit in our old headquarters by the river." he said as he took his shoes off and was about to walk upstairs when she stopped him.

"Will you eat dinner with us ? At least a bit."

She looked at him concerned.

"I'm not really hungry..."

Fliqpy mumbled out, but then she carried on.

"Well then have this."

She added and then handed him a chocolate protein bar. Fliqpy smiled and took it, thanked her, and walked upstairs to his and his brother's room. He knew he wouldn't be able to eat it and he would just throw it up again. His body could not accept any food at all, he felt weak, but just couldn't do it. And it didn't matter. He'd pull through it all somehow. He wouldn't pass out like he has before, he would be stronger. For the time being he hid the chocolate bar in a shelf away from others so they'd think he ate it, and started his strength workout, doing press-ups, sit-ups and other exercises.

................

When Flippy realised it was beginning to get very dark outside, he finally got out of the old hut. He stretched his muscles because he wasn't moving for a while, totally lost in his thoughts. He decide to run a bit on his way back, to not lose the habit.
When he entered the house, his mother told him off for getting home late. He only gave her an apologising smile and went to eat dinner.
He instantly realised his brother's absence. His father told him that Fliqpy said he wasn't hungry. Flippy jut nodded and changed the subject.
When they finished, his mother insisted that he didn't have to help her cleaning the table, so he just went to his and his brother's room.
The first thing he saw was his bro training again. Flippy didn't even know if he has eaten anything.
He didn't want to confront him about his problem, but at one point he would have to, before he seriously hurt himself by pushing his body to his limits like that.
Suddenly an idea popped in his mind.

"Hey bro. Wanna watch a movie tonight ? You had trained a lot, you need a reward."

...........

"Sure, why not."

Fliqpy replied, trying not to sound suspicious. He had to just live a normal life, even if he wanted to train. They began to choose a movie. They went for one old horror movie and watched it together, until late night. Fliqpy didn't know how to feel about anything anymore. His parents knew and he still couldn't do much to make them feel any better.
He had to stay strong, protect his brother, and get home alive for his parents.

............

The movie was... Good. It was scary but there were clearly better horror films than that. Flippy yawned. He was alway a sleepy person, and even if the film kept him interested, his eyes were closing against his will. Soon enough, he fell asleep on the sofa, missing the end of the film. He had fallen asleep in a sitting position, without a care about if it was the right place to do so, or if it was a good position to sleep in, hugging a pillow and with a little smile drawn on his face as he started dreaming.

..........

Fliqpy didn't even bother to watch the movie until the end, when he saw his brother asleep. He decided to take him to bed. In his current form, his brother felt like a feather, and he easily carried him to their bedroom. He placed him in his bed, and covered him with the duvet. Then he felt something weird. He felt dizzy and weak, and fell to the floor when his stomach started hurting. He couldn't get up. He curled in a ball on the floor, holding onto his stomach for dear life, cursing at himself in his mind. He didn't know what was going on, but then it eased a little. He got up, found the chocolate bar and decided that's better than nothing. He forced himself to eat it but soon regretted it. He started throwing up, the sweet taste irritating him, and when he got back to bed he felt dizzy and cold, started shaking, not knowing what was going on...
Water.
That's it!
He must've been dehydrated! He got to the tap and drank the water slowly. Only a few sips, but that was all it took to make all the difference. He felt much better.He got to his bed and layed down. He realised it was a problem, he couldn't eat anything or drink too much, his body just rejected it. It could be a downfall, but he knew he just had to pull through. It was only a week at his parents house anyway. And the last thing he wanted was getting them worried. Soon enough he fell asleep.
