Thank you sweetheart! ❤️ I sure can. Wishing anyone going through this all the best. Private message me for crisis resources.
Disclaimer: I am not trying to claim that I know anything about Eating Disorders (ED) my intention is only to hopefully make a reader smile by replying to this request. I sincerely hope I don’t offend anyone.
Ushijima | Kageyama | Akaashi | Uwaizumi x S/O with an Eating Disorder
The same way he is determined to be the best at volleyball, he would be just as incredibly determined to help you get through this chapter in your life
And yes he always makes sure to refer to your ED as a “chapter” because he believes chapters can be closed and he promises you will get better one day
He’s so convincing you start to believe him
His belief in you is so infectious that you unintentionally inch toward putting your ED behind you.
Even though you live pretty far from him he walks you all the way home everyday to make sure you’re okay
Sometimes he wakes up early to walk you to school as well and even after you beat the ED he continues to do this
He skips practice or a game whenever you need him even though you tell him not to
Constantly checking up on you but never to the point where you need him to stop
He tells you that there is absolutely no rush to recovery and to go at your own pace however he sternly needs you to promise that you at the very least want to get better and that’s enough for him
Despite your ED insecurities, He doesn’t treat you like a case, he’s still the best boyfriend who makes every day brighter than yesterday so that you want to continue to spend your days with him
He understands that it is imperative that he keeps your eating disorder a secret because you asked him to
He is your calm through the storm. When you are having an episode he is so serene and soothing while he rubs your back and tells you how much you mean to him .... having him there helps a lot
Created a ‘code word’ for the two of you to use in public or at a social event when you feel you are about to have an episode or may be tempted to..... so that he can skillfully excuse you both and make a fast departure. You feel less anxiety in public because of this
He reads up on everything there is to know about your eating disorder every night so that he is prepared in various circumstances
At some point he decides to go into Pre-Med to devote himself to finding cures for EDs
He wants to help you so bad and sometimes he stays awake at night for hours wondering how he can steer you away from what’s hurting you
He tells you everyday more like every second how beautiful you are but rarely if ever specifies anything physical, only calling out your internal attributes that he’s in love with so that you key in on the fact that beauty is only skin deep
Luckily, he is very vocal with you and tells you what it’s doing to him to see you going through it and you both wrap yourselves in each other’s arms until you feel better. It’s soothing
He talks you into seeing a specialist, and he makes sure to sit in the waiting room during your time in there so that his smile can be the first thing you see when you walk out
Even though he says he will keep it a secret, he goes behind your back and asks his big sister for help and advice because she had gone through the exact same eating disorder
Your boyfriend is very nervous about telling someone else because he doesn’t want you to dump him so he only tells his sis the basics then asks her to write you a sealed letter so that he wasn’t overstepping. Respectfully, he never opened that letter and gave it directly to you one day
“This is for you, Y/N. I‘m worried about you. I really really hope you don’t break up with me.”
Instead of confrontation which you wouldn’t have liked, his sister had written you a letter detailing her understanding of your eating disorder and wrote things she herself did to get out from that dark time. She specified how much better life is post-ED. In the letter she begs you not to be mad at her brother because looking back she wishes she hadn’t dealt with it alone for so long because when it came out her brother was her backbone
Iwaizumi apologizes profusely for telling your secret but it was for the best
When things get better and you follow in his sisters steps to recovery, Iwaizumi attends all of your appointments and while you’re in there he goes to the shops nearby to get you cute trinkets so that you smile each time you come out
He is such a supportive, loving boyfriend in which when he sees you staring at food apprehensively he makes sure to hit shittycawa upside his head just to make you laugh instead
He constantly checks in with his sister to make sure he is doing the right things. When it comes to you all he ever wants to do is the right thing.
When you tell your boyfriend Ushijima about you ED his face softens before he kisses your forehead and admits that he already knew
He asks you if there is anything that he can do and you replied that you need him to just be him because that’s why you fell in love with him
he took that advice very seriously
Ushijima, coming from wealth, immediately went home and paid for the top specialists and treatment centres in the country to aid in your recovery.
Before you argue just know everything is non refundable and that it is available when you are ready - he wasn’t going to force you
Of course, after some time when you tell him that you are ready to start treatment you are awarded with his usual stoic expression breaking out into a handsome ear-to-ear smile
You will do anything to see him smile like that again,
And you do. Because every time you reach a “sober” milestone he smiles just like that and tells you how proud he is to have such a strong love of his life
Ushijima makes a small bet with you that on your good days (which means a day without an episode) He will put $10 into a bae-cation travel fund to your dream destination anywhere in the world. On your “bad” days (when/if your ED does get the best of you), he puts in $5.
Your man’s purpose of this is not only to give you an incentive to strive for health but more importantly he wants you to know that No matter what — whether you get better or not — he will still be taking you on your dream getaway because none of this is your fault and you deserve it.
He never admits to you that that $10 entry he promised is really $100-per-good-day and that that $5 entry is really $50-per-bad-day until it’s too late to yell at him for spending so much money on you because
“Y/N, you better hurry up and pack because our flight leaves in 12 hours.”
Your pouting doesn’t last long on the flight because your broody man was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and an oversized floppy sunhat. you could just eat him right up
He loves you more than anything and, eating disorder or not— nothing about you is going to change that.
