💜Jax x Reader - One Shots💜 [OPEN REQUESTS]

🤍Eating Disorder🤍

A/N: just read an article about eating disorders and I thought I'd write a chapter about it to help any of you who are struggling with eating or have people in close relations that are struggling🩷

Jax had noticed over the past few weeks that his partner y/n had been... off a bit. They ate a lot less than they usually did and it concerned him a lot. He wanted to talk to them about it but he always thought they'd react the wrong way.

Today at his house, they were cuddling on his bed while watching a series on Netflix. It was their all time favorite; Heartstopper. It was the series that made y/n come out to Jax and what made them become a couple in the first place. From that moment on they vowed that Heartstopper would become their tradition to binge watch the 2 seasoned series every Thursday night and y/n would stay the night.

"Hey babe, it's about 4:45 PM. What do you wanna eat? I'll order some take out for us." Jax said as he grabbed his phone and opened his take out app. He had to be sure y/n was fine, if his assumptions were correct he had to confront them today. He wouldn't let them suffer anymore!

"I uhhh... don't know just pick anything." They said softly their eyes still focused on the laptop screen. "Nuh-uh. Not like that babe, what do you want? I'm up for anything, just name it." He said confident he'd get an answer out of them. "No you pick, I'm not that hungry anyway." They said. This was the first time they slipped...

"Not hungry? You skipped lunch, I didn't see you eat your 11 PM snack and now you wanna tell me you 'are not hungry'? Y/n what's going on?" He said finally snapping before covering his mouth, seeing their shocked expression, the color draining from their face.

"I-I'm sorry I didn't-..." He tried but y/n's eyes filled up with tears at which he instantly reacted with a big strong hug. "Babe... I'm so sorry..." He whispered sweet nothings. He now knew they were struggling with eating. He just didn't know how to handle this kind of way of confronting them with it. "I have an eating disorder... I got diagnosed two months ago..." They sobbed in his chest as he gently rubbed their back.

"But... But why...?" He asked softly. "I don't want to be fat... the girls at school try so hard to be skinny as they try to win you over and take you away from me... I thought if I stopped eating so much I'd be skinny as them and you'd keep loving me..." They cried and his heart broke when they spoke those words. "Babe... I don't care if you're skinny, curvy or chubby or whatever! You're perfect just the way you are, besides... I like to have something to squeeze on while we cuddle..." He said making them blush a little as they let out a soft chuckle.

"S-so... You don't like skinny?" They asked softly. "Well... I guess skinny is okay too. But it depends on the person, who they are on the inside." He said not trying to sound rude. "But... I have you now and that's more than I could ever wish for." He said kissing their cheek. "So, what do you desire to eat my little pumpkin?" He asked with a teasing smirk handing them his phone.

"I want a burger. A huge burger with bacon and egg and extra cheese! A side of fries with mayonnaise and maybe we can have some spaghetti to share?" They said as they filled in the order. Jax's eyes widened in surprise and happiness as he saw his partner so alive. He laughed before adding a few more things to the list. "Think that's enough?" He asked as they were going to the check-out page. Y/n thought for a moment before going back one step and adding two thick shakes to the list. "Yep. All done!" They grinned and Jax chuckled kissing their cheek again. "I'm proud of you babe. And this is just step one... I'll be there with you and for you every step of the road to help you." He said before ordering the food.

"BILL IS HOW MUCH??!!" He exclaimed at which y/n laughed loudly. "Hurry up! I'm hungry!"
