Trigger warning : mention of eating disorder and bulimia.

Bian POV

We are now sitting in a diner near the amusement park to get our stomachs filled. I was about to sit beside Felix when Ashton ran past me and grabbed the seat besides Felix. I grumbled at his choice and sat besides Damian, who had a very eerily similar look on his face. The look that I had on mine. Anger and frustration. Why is he angry and frustrated? I turned my head away from these thoughts and looked in front of me towards Ashton and Felix. One is my present, while the other one is my past. I fell in love with Ashton the moment I saw him arranging his little cubicle at the office on his first day. He was so scared and nervous about his day that he didn't even noticed me standing besides him. I still remember the way he got startled when he first saw me. He eventually got soft and less nervous around me as the time passed by and I unknowingly fell for him even more.

And then when I found out that he is dating Carlton Drake, I saw my chances of being with him, go down the gutter and into the deepest depths of my heart. My first love/crush ended there. And then this one fine day, I saw Felix at my dad's clinic. At first I thought I saw Ashton. But when I focused my eyes more onto him, I came to know that he's someone else. And my interest piqued up. And I asked my dad about him. And then I came to know his story. My world changed forever since then. I began to be around Felix more and more to keep him company and always tried to make him happy one way or the another. I don't know why, but I just can't stop myself from being with him and around him all the time. And now I'm watching Felix converse like a normal person with Ashton. What are they talking about? Damian nudges me and asks in a very hushed tone,

"So are you going to tell me what happened with him?"

"Yeah I will..."

"Great..."

He turned to Ashton and Felix and announced,

"So me and Ashton are ready to hear you!"

I saw Felix gulp a lump of saliva down his throat and shift in his seat. I cleared my throat and begin,

"Well you see... Felix is a patient at my dad's clinic... And he's getting his therapy there..."

"Therapy for what?"

Damian asked me with a little concern,

"Social anxiety and bulimia..."

I saw the color of Ashton's face drop and he turned to Felix with a worried expression. Then he cupped Felix's face in his hands and squished his face in them,

"No need to say anything Bian... Felix would you mind if I take you outside for a minute?"

"N-no I w-wont..."

"Alright then... Me and Felix will be outside for a while... Call me when the food arrives till then enjoy each other's company you guys... Come on Felix..."

And I saw Ashton drag Felix away with him. I gave him a small smile and he returned it to me. As they were outside the diner Damian spoke,

"You should speak now Medici... Ashton did a great job of taking him away from this awkward conversation about him..."

Damian spoke like a proud Dad,

"Yeah... That's why Ashton is one of the best..."

And I added to Ashton's praises,

"That he is..."

He murmured something under his breath,

"Did you say something?"

I asked his murmuring self. He gave me a bewildered look and put his hands on his lap while fisting them together. His posture stiffened a bit and he replied like a pre programmed robot,

"Nope I didn't... You continue..."

And so I did. I told him each and every thing that happened with Felix in his life and his past,

"Yeah so the thing is... He has a really abusive family and was tormented in his old school because he came out as gay to everyone... And his parents tried to poison him through his food, that's why he developed eating disorder as a teenager. When Dad found out about this all, he took Felix under his care and made him shift in our house. And now he's getting treatment for his disorders... And I am trying to be there for him as much as I can. This amusement park trip was partially planned by me to take Felix out of the house for a day. That's why I disappeared from the Ferris wheel ride. Talking about the ride... How was it for you two?"

I finished my words by asking Damian about the Ferris wheel ride. And I saw a shade of red crept it's way up his face and reach his ears,

"How was what?!"

He looked everywhere but at me. What is he doing? And why is he acting like a sixteen year old school girl who is just asked out by her crush in the school hallways? So I clarify my words to his blushing self,

"The ride?"

He looked baffled at my words and began to stutter and stammer in his own words like a five year old kid who is clearly lying to you,

"The ride?... Yeah it w-was great... R-really great y-you see..."

I raised my brows at his stammering and put my hands up in a surrendering manner and spoke softly,

"Oh okay... I was just asking..."

He looked outside the cafe and waved his hand to gain Felix's and Ashton's attention. Completely ignoring the fact that I can see his struggle through my naked eyes,

"Yeah! And I'm just telling you... Oh look the food's here... Lets call these two in..."

He shifted in his seat and took out his phone. Dailing Ashton's number he began to talk to him and call him inside the diner. I don't know what Ashton replied, but that just increased the redness on Damian's face. I saw Ashton and Felix walk back in and replied to Damian,

"Yeah..."

What the fuck just happened?
