"I'm going to," Gabe said. "Please, just eat a little?"
Do you really want to trust insanity? (Private with Icefire, it's pretty fooking mature, matey)

He was quiet for a moment. "Fine…"
group
"Thank you," Gabe said genuinely. He sat Alex down on the bed gently, moving to the kitchen.
Alex shifted a little bit, watching him go and chewing on his lip.
group
Gabe didn't take long to make the food, bringing the plates into the bedroom for Alex.
"Here," he said softly.
Alex took a plate, his too-thin wrists poking out of the sleeves for a moment. "Thanks."
group
Gabe sat next to Alex carefully.
"You're welcome," he said with a smile.
Alex shifted a little to make room for Gabe, taking a deep breath.
group
Gabe started eating a little.
Alex picked at his food, not eating very much.
group
Gabe looked over at Alex, a little worry showing on his face.
Alex ate a little bit, yes, but not much. Not enough.
group
Gabe set his own empty plate aside, looking at Alex.
"Please," he said softly.
He looked up. "What?"
group
"You need to eat," Gabe said softly.
"I'm not hungry…"
group
Gabe sighed softly.
"Fine, then," he said gently. He seemed disappointed.
"S-sorry…" he said quietly, biting his lip.
group
"No, no, really," Gabe said. "I can't expect you to eat a lot to begin with."
He took another small bite, nodding a little bit.
group
Gabe stood, taking his plate to the kitchen.
Alex kept picking at his food.
group
Gabe eventually came back, sitting down.
Alex looked over at him.
group
"How has the rest of your day been?" Gabe asked.
He shrugged. "It's…it's been alright I guess."
group
Gabe ran his fingers through his hair.
"That's good."
He smiled softly.
group
Gabe returned the smile, glad to see Alex have one.
Alex ate a little bit more, glancing over at Gabe again.
