Dinner was yet again leftovers, which neither of them minded, since Emmie was a fantastic cook, but Krist secretly wanted some pizza. Maybe he will get it tomorrow if the weather clears up. Singto surprisingly ate a normal amount for him and did his best to keep it in his system. All together today, he has had 890 calories, which seems like a minuscule portion, but for him, it is considered to be one of his ‘good days’.
Before taking a shower, he took out his scale from underneath his bed when Krist wasn’t looking, to weigh himself to see if it has changed it all. He timidly stepped onto the scale and waited until numbers flashed in front
As the night went on, the storm slowly subsided. The winds calmed down and the heavy pour was turned into barely a drizzle. This calming nature helped the boys sleep well throughout the night without feeling a tiny bit restless. Even Singto, who usually finds it difficult to fall asleep, didn’t have trouble drifting off. By the time morning came around, it appeared like the whole town got cleansed with nature’s showers. May puddles surrounded each home
It took roughly half an hour for the food to arrive, which was perfect since it was noon by the time they got there. During the wait, Krist decided to wash his face and make himself somewhat presentable. And as Krist begin to carry all of it to the dining room table, Singto wanted to run away. So much calories and unknown substances were lurking around and all he could smell was fat fumes clouding up his senses. “Oh my god! This is embarrassing, but last night I dreamt about pizza because I wanted it so badly. Isn’t that sad?”
Krist glared at him for a good few minutes before saying anything. “Fine.” He spoke with gritted teeth. He was still not impressed by his answer. But by the look on his face, he could sense that Singto was hiding something that he was not willing to open up about and there was no use trying to force something out of him when he is too determined to keep it hidden.
Krist frowned again. Up until this point, he has never thought about him that way and it hurts him to know that all of this time, he was ignorant to all of the things that she is saying. It made him feel blind and useless that he wasn’t able to see things the way she is showing him right now. “I mean, he always smiles and he is polite, kind and funny. But… I don’t think I’ve ever seen him be confident before… so, I guess the an
As he pulled into his driveway on his bike, he slowly placed it back into the garage and stared at the house. This was it. He was going to talk to Singto about something that he has been hiding from the others for… god knows how long. He took a deep breath and collected his thoughts as the advice Holly gave him rang in his ears. Just be kind and gentle… let’s see where this goes. After allowing some
Singto’s voice was shaky but Krist heard him loud and clear. When he said this, Kirst stopped dead in his tracks, but didn’t turn around to face him, not yet. “Why?” “Because it makes me feel good. I… I… I like the feeling of emptiness, or maybe I don’t like it but just got used it or something…” This was not easy for Singto to talk about since he’s never had to confess to any of it.
It was getting closer to dinner time and the boys were lounging in the living room area. Singto was sat on one of the single chairs near the television and Krist was lying on the big couch in front of a coffee table. Neither of them was talking, since both had similar things running through their minds. A lot has happened within the last couple hours and they were simply trying to let it all sink in.Krist was the first to break the silence by tapping his pencil on
When Emmie was worried about leaving the two boys in the house for 14 days, it also had to do with the fact that her son cannot cook to save his life. She was worried and paranoid about there being a kitchen fire. Every night she’d call and check in on him and Singto and makes them send pictures of the house to calm the nerves about her fears. So for nothing bad has happened, but she couldn’t rule out of the possibility of something happening. Little did anyone know, Singto is a very skilled cook and Krist is in for a surprise tonight. The boys entered the kitchen and Krist felt so clueless. He looked around pantry and the fridge to find anythi
