TW: eating disorders

Iris and I are currently watching the L word. It's one of her favorite shows ever.

we started the show over and are currently on the first episode. we're currently at the part where Shane brings a girl to the pool and fucks her.

"gay," I point at the naked women on TV.

"gay," iris points at me.

"hot," I point at her.

"hotter," she points again.

I lean in and kiss her softly.

I begin to pull back but she pulls me back into her, kissing me passionately. I quickly catch up and kiss her strongly.

I pull her shirt over her head and toss it next to the couch. she's already not wearing pants so she's down to her bra and underwear.

I kiss down her body, sucking on her cleavage.

I reach her faint abs and kiss them softly. I hear her stomach grumble quietly.

I sit up.

"what's wrong?" she asks.

"when was the last time you ate?" I ask her.

her face turns red before she says, "while you were in the shower."

"I know for a fact that is a lie. you were sitting on the toilet talking to me while I was in the shower."

"fuck," she whispers.

"come on," I say. I grab her hand and lead her to the kitchen.

she hops onto the counter while I make her grilled cheese.

I finish the sandwich and put it on a plate.

"thank you," she says.

"of course," I smile.

we go back into the living room and sit down. she eats her food.

I wake up at 23:00 to head coughing coming from the bathroom.

I creek open the door so she won't hear me. I see Iris crouched over the toilet with her fingers down her throat.

"Iris," I whisper. a tear falls down my cheek.

she quickly looks up at me. "I'm sorry."

I walk over to her. I scoop her in my arms and hold her for a while. her face nuzzled into my neck, crying. I try to be as quiet as possible as I cry.

after twenty minutes I bring her back out into the kitchen. I grab her some yogurt and granola. she eats the yogurt and we go to lay back down.

I hold her tight. she is not going back to that bathroom.

in the morning I wake up with Iris snuggled into my side.

I look over at the clock to see it reads 09:32.

her eyes blink open. she looks up at me and smiles. "good morning."

"good morning baby," I say. "are you doing better?"

"I think so," she says. Think. "thank you for helping me."

"I will always help you Iris," I tell her. "we need to pack."

"for what?" she asks.

"Indiana," I answer.

"why are we going to Indiana?" She asks.

"love, it's gotten bad. I know that Caitlin will be able to fully help you. I just want to go there and have Caitlin help you get better. I'll observe and if this happens again, I'll know what to do."

"ok," she sighs.

"is that fine?" I ask.

"yeah," she assures. "thank you for caring so much."

"Noah really does have your standards low, huh?"

"most definitely," she laughs.
