Eat, Troye.

Chapter 1

A/N: Trigger Warning: Anorexia (Troye). Also, I was prompted for this on my Tumblr (on my Profile page).

Tyler’s POV

Tyler rushed from the Tv and jumped onto the couch as to not miss a moment of the movie. He tried and failed miserably to contain his giggle of excitement. Troye looked over at him and smiled. “What?” the incredibly skinny boy whined. Of course, this only made Tyler laugh harder. “WHAT???” Troye asked again, his voice wavering with laughter as he, too, giggled. Tyler, his face once again as red as a tomato from laughter, looked over and realized, as usual, he and his boyfriend had missed the beginning of the movie. He held his breath and tried to calm down, but every few seconds a slight hiccup would escape him. Troye, catching the laughing fit, paused the movie. “HEYYY!” Tyler whined in an extremely high-pitched voice. Both his and Troye’s eyes widened at the exact same moment, and they almost cried with their laughter. 

When the pair finally calmed down (and, by that point, Tyler was sure he had developed abs from laughing so hard), Troye leaned over and gave Tyler a peck on the cheek (it felt like Jesus himself had blessed him) and got up to make some popcorn. When he came back, with the smell of butter wafting all the way across the room, Tyler’s stomach was empty again and his mouth turned into Niagara Falls. Troye gave Tyler the bowl, which he instantly started devouring. Then the pair finally got back to Mean Girls. One thing Tyler noticed, however, was the bowl was empty before Troye had taken a single bite.

Troye’s POV

Troye’s stomach was growling like a whale and his mouth an ocean. Every inch of his body was itching to lunge at Tyler and stuff handfuls and handfuls of sweet, buttery popcorn into his mouth. But then he looked over at the beautiful boy next to him and knew, he could not. He knew that one bite of popcorn tonight would lead to a cookie tomorrow, leading to a slice of cake at a party, leading to him loosing control and becoming so fat that Tyler would never love him ever again. Troye already had far too much fat, and his stomach was far too big. His legs were all flab and he had 0 muscle. He was barely holding on to Tyler. Troye knew. Troye saw Tyler when the cute boys passed them at restaurants. He saw the look on his boyfriend’s face when Marcus walked over to him. A couple more pounds and Troye would loose him altogether. And then where would he be? Back to getting fatter and fatter lying in his room all day. All alone, with friends that had probably at this point forgotten he existed. Troye was starving but he knew he couldn’t eat a single bite.

Tyler’s POV

As the credits rolled and his clock struck 10, Tyler put his arm around Troye. “Tumblr Time?” Tyler asked.

“Tumblr time.” Troye responded with a grin. Tyler grabbed his charger and laptop, and when he got to the bedroom, Troye was already in his scrolling position plugged in, and by the look of it, already on the website. Tyler shuffled over to the king-sized bed, plugged in his charger, and sat down next to Troye. After his 3rd dashboard-refresh, Tyler realized just how cold the room was. When he looked to his left, he saw that Troye had gotten under the covers and was shivering. Tyler decided to get under the covers as well. The movement brought Troye out of the internet world and he looked over to see what Tyler was doing. Tyler noticed Troye turning his head, and they locked eyes. Tyler’s heart started pounding. All he wanted was Troye. His little Troyeboy, and they could stay together for the rest of their lives. All Tyler wanted in that moment was Troye’s lips against his own.

Tyler leaned in as a hint, just a tiny bit so if Troye didn’t agree he would simply think it was him shifting his weight. Troye leaned in an inch, seeming to be doing the same. Tyler’s heart was pounding and he was very, very short of breath. Troye was as cute as ever with his huge round eyes staring up at him as if asking permission. Tyler leaned in and closed his eyes, hoping for the best.
