"Can't sleep?" Hobie yawned as he woke up to you tossing and turning in your shared bed.
"I'll be fine. It's just a bad night. " You sighed. "Don't worry, go back to bed. Sorry for waking you up. " Placing a kiss on his cheek, you sat up, waiting to go get a glass of water, when your stomach rumbled.
Hobie grabbed your hand.
"Darling. What did you eat today?"
His eyes bore into yours, before you looked away, tears gathering in your eyes.
"A little rice, and two fishballs. " You sniffled. "I know that's not healthy, I know I promised you to eat enough but- " You tried to wipe your tears away, but they just kept on flowing. "But I can't stop myself. I'm not perfect , I'm overweight, I know. But this makes me feel a sick twisted sort of happiness, like I'll finally be enough one day. "
Hobie pulled you into his embrace, stroking your hair, letting you sob into his shoulder.
"You don't have to do these to be enough, love, you already are enough. You are perfect in so many areas, who cares about that stupid number on the scale? I don't, because I love you. " He kissed you on your forehead. "You've been so strong, at least you ate something today. But how about we fill that tummy with something else, hmm? I'm sure I have so food laying around. " He kissed you once again, and held your hand. "Come on, darling, let's go to the kitchen"
"And I'm getting rid of that blasted scale tomorrow."
