#ahh. a man who always starves to quell his own hunger

[gutfaced]

something something. haymitch himself likely being aspec alongside his well-agreed bisexuality. i reach for demiromantic because it's 1. both a label i use and 2. in my writing and in my perception of him, i can really see it. i think he'd be teetering on and off of apothisexual (asexual who's sex repulsed) & and then being apath.

he's been in his whole social solitary confinement for what we as readers can assume long enough that we don't hear of haymitch's connections outside of the victors. he is purposely without a lover, without children. i interpret this as voluntarily celibate because i find that haymitch is such a sentimental man, and so empathetic to the extent of fearing any connections in which will put anyone he loves in danger. so he avoids long-term relationships when he can, avoids intimacy. avoids the possibility of children because of the reaping and his status as victor. the only people who may be exempt from this are fellow victors (hence why i usually mention chaffnathy.)

despite haymitch's good looks, which katniss does comment on, and despite his riches — he doesn't pursue anyone. that might because his alcoholism has him fall out of favor to some, but that also may be because he has a habit of pushing others away. if he refuses to allow anyone in the house to clean, then he definitely refuses to have anyone indulge in his romantic life (with the offhand exceptions.) i never see anyone consider how lonely haymitch forces himself to be, and the impact of that.

Warnings: Bullying

Desert Flower

“Fgnaaaaaaa!!!”

Yuu was roughly torn from her ever enigmatic dreaming by a scratchy scream and a distinct flush of heat to her side.

Yelping through her disorientation, she pushed herself away from the source of the burning, rubbing her eyes to clear away the sleep induced fuzziness. “G-Grim! Hey, what’s wrong?!” She cried, hands hovering just above the cat-like creature who was writhing on the bed, blue flame encircling him.

“Grim! Wake up! You’re having a nightmare!” She took the monster into her arms, biting back a wince as her hands were scorched by the heat, fading after a second as Grim’s eyes snapped open.

“Yuu...! Yuu, he was going to eat me!” He sobbed, cuddling into her embrace.

“Who? What was happening in your dream?”

“It was Jamil’s shadow! He looked so hungry, like he was going to...”

Yuu wanted to laugh, but she smiled softly instead, smoothing out Grim’s fur and petting lightly over his ears, quelling his hysteria. “It wasn’t real. I thought you were a great hero! A hero’s not afraid of anything, right?” She tempted, playing with his small paws.

“Absolutely! I-I’m not afraid of some silly monster!” Grim agreed, taking Yuu’s bait. She was going to reply, when a loud rumbling promptly shut her down, making her laugh briskly. “...But I am scared of this appetite! I’m starving, let’s eat!” He cheered, throwing a curled paw up.

“Hmph, so brave...” She sighed, setting Grim down, “go on down. I’ll meet you there.”

“Okay~!”

Grim leapt off the bed, mumbling something Yuu couldn’t quite catch as he left, kicking the door shut behind him.

Giggling at her friend’s antics, the smile was quickly forgotten as her hands began to sting, sharp as first but easing as she relaxed the muscles. Peering down at the soft skin, she groaned at the cherry red sight, slightly swollen and puffy from the burns they suffered. “Guess I have to be even more careful than before... just until this heals up, that is.”

Yuu was cautious as she stood from the bed and fixed her uniform, brushing out her hair and changing her sleepwear. She hesitated briefly as she glanced herself over in the mirror above the forever unlit fireplace, cringing at her face.

It was apparent she hadn’t gotten enough sleep, as usual, even without Grim’s little interruption. Further still, perhaps unnoticeable by anyone besides her, a dark, defeated darkness twisted her lips in a frown, her bright eyes dimmed with an unnamed melancholy.

She knew the reason why. She knew the reason why she hesitated in every class, why she started eating less and less, why it was becoming difficult to look anyone in the eye.

Pushing the room door open silently, Yuu headed down the hall, flexing her hands slowly in front of her as she sucked in a sharp breath. “That sure looks painful, did the kitty do that to you?” Yuu screamed at the sudden intrusion, jumping back a few feet as she glared at the ghost.

“Do you absolutely need to do that?” She scolded, growling.

“What do you want me to do? Wear a bell and jingle everywhere I go?” The chubby ghost joked, laughing heartily at Yuu’s unimpressed expression. “My concern is real, y’know. I’m not sure you should leave today, especially if you’re going to be hounded by those bullies again.”

Yuu flinched, clenching her fist despite the screaming pain that followed. That one had been her accident.

Ever since arriving at NRC, Yuu was accutely aware of her misplacement, both because of her gender and because of her lack of magical abilities. As if the self doubt wasn’t enough, it wasn’t long before some of the students made the same realization, and used it against her in the worst ways. Tormenting her, they called her names, ridiculed her, broke her down inch by inch.

It wasn’t until she happened to stumble upon a certain pair of classmates that she found a way to cope. She couldn’t remember exactly how she met Kalim Al-Asim and Jamil Viper, but could vaguely recall bumping into the shorter during lunch, earning a snide remark from the vice and a carefree laugh from the head. From there, she found herself spending more and more time with the duo, eventually earning the trust and friendship from them, though it took a while to break down Jamil’s guard.

That was how she managed to hide her secret for so long. She’d met so many people, made so many friends, but none like Kalim and Jamil. She knew that they had a full plate as it was, but adding her problems to it? No way, she wanted to prove that she could handle herself, that she could stand up and face the problem head on.

So one night after a particularly cruel session of verbal abuse, she tucked Grim into bed, rushed to the rundown lounge, and cried. She was sure to be quiet, covering her mouth with her hands and suppressing her whimpers, but cried nonetheless, completely unaware of the ghosts that watched.

When they emerged from the shadows to comfort her, that was when Yuu spilled her troubles, pleading with them to keep it a secret.

“I’ll be fine! After all, I’ll just do what I always do; works like a charm!” Yuu waved him off, shrugging the memory away.

“...Yuu. It’s not healthy to hide these things. Maybe you should tell someone.” He suggested, brows creased.

“No! I can handle this on my own. Now, thank you for your time, but I should be getting to Grim and class. Bye!”

“Just be safe!” The ghost warned, fading back into the walls as Yuu hopped down the steps.

She didn’t respond as she caught Grim in the kitchen, shoveling tuna into his mouth as she laughed. The almost unbearable heat of hunger flooded her gut, but pressing a hand to her stomach and swallowing thickly, she pushed it away. Not now.

“Come on, Grim! I want to go meet Kalim and Jamil!” Yuu smiled, bending over as she placed her hands delicately on her knees.

“Fgna... go yourself, I’m busy.” Grim refused, licking out the rest of the can.

“U-Uh, alright! See you later!” Yuu stammered, feigning bliss as she headed out, crossing her arms defensively across her torso.

As she trudged down Main Street, she glanced around anxiously, heart skipping a beat as sweat beaded on her temples. It wasn’t often she was this nervous, only the times when she was utterly alone in the open. Her bullies never targetted her when she was with someone else, aware that she had a way of guarding herself with another person.

Yuu was climbing the steps to the school building when she noticed them; the four boys leaning against the doors. “Well, looky looky! Up bright and early for the day, birdie?” One of them crowed, making her cringe at the use of the distasteful nickname.

She could recognize them by the colors of their arm bands. Two were from Savanaclaw, one from Heartslabyul, and one from Pomefiore, each with their own way of ripping her self esteem to shreds. “Please leave me alone.” She clipped, keeping her gaze to the concrete.

“Bowing your head? Please, even Riddle could pull off a better act.” Heartslabyul sneered, kicking off the wall.

“No no, I think it suits her,” one of the Savanaclaw lackeys croned, “prey should know their place.”

“You’ll never be like us. You’re just a little girl, meant to serve and nothing more.” The other added.

“And with that face? She’d be lucky to find a man at all!” Pomefiore finished, drowning the staircase in wicked laughter. “Lose a few pounds and we’ll talk, sweetie!”

Yuu grabbed at the hem of her shirts, absorbing every comment, eyes unfocused and blurry. Bearing through the abuse yet again, she pushed through the boys now crowded around her, entering the building and shutting them out.

“It’s not true, it’s not true, it’s not true,” Yuu whispered to herself, covering her ears with her burnt hands as she followed the scent of breakfast to the cafeteria, pleasantly illuminated with the lantern light.

She hadn’t even taken a step inside when she heard the call, beckoning. “Yuu~! Over here!”

Yuu looked up, dropping her hands as she met the eternally smiling face of Kalim, arm above his head as he waved her over, Jamil pinching the bridge of his nose in embarrassment at the scene. Wiping her upset look off, she redrew a cheeky grin onto her glower, refilling her eyes with joy.

“Hey Kalim, Jamil! What’re you up to this morning?” She prompted, feeling a warmth build in her stomach.

“Eh, the usual. Breakfast.” Kalim responded, gesturing to his plate. “Jamil made it all, so it’s super healthy and delicious!”

“Ha, I’m sure it is!” Yuu nodded, revealing her pearly whites in a grin. It faltered as her gut grumbled, quietly enough to only be felt by her.

“Would you like some, Yuu? There’s plenty to go around.” Jamil offered, setting his silverware aside. “I’ll get a plate if you’d—“

“No thanks! I’m alright!” Yuu all too quickly deflected, digging her nails into her thighs.

“Hm? Are you certain? It wouldn’t be a bother.” Jamil pursued, Yuu feeling yet another hunger-caused groan arising in her torso.

“Yep—you know me! I’ll eat later, I’m not very hungry right now.” She lied.

“...If you insist.” Jamil conceded, resuming his meal.

The only thing ringing within Yuu’s ears was the hurtful smear on her body; she’d always believed she was beautiful, inside and out. It didn’t matter that she had her flaws, everyone did, she loved herself. Until someone took those flaws and paraded around like her feelings didn’t matter.

“So Yuu, what are you doing after school today?” Kalim asked, surfacing Yuu from her abyssal mind.

“Hm? Oh... nothing, I think. Why?” She played with her hands, and the feeling of aching soreness that occurred whenever she wiggled her fingers.

“Kalim and I have a freed schedule. I was curious as to know if you’d like to join us later, maybe for a board game or two?” Jamil smiled mischievously.

“Uh—yes! I’d love an excuse to see you two show off your rivalry!” Yuu joked, repressing her urge to eat.

“It’s settled then. We’ll come get you after class.”

“Yeah, and don’t be late! I’m so ready to kick Jamil’s ass in Mancala!”

“How many times must I defeat you in that game to drill it into your thick skull that I’m better than you?”

Kalim merely broke out into a fit of giggles, the joy rather infectious as Yuu joined in, even earning a small grin from Jamil at the absurd banter.

It was a blink before the bell rung, and as she parted from the oppositional duo, Yuu strongly regretted turning down the meal. Her stomach was knotted, groaning as it ate away at itself, sickeningly warm and unpleasant.

“Yuu! Wait for me! I’m not big enough to walk that fast!” Grim ushered behind her, panting as he ran on his short legs to catch up.

“Ah, Grim! Did you enjoy the rest of your food?”

“Obviously! There’s something just so enticing about fish, don’t you think?”

Yuu gave an awkward smile. “Uh, sure...” She lifted him into her arms, carrying him gingerly as to not disturb her burns, which were still hidden away from her animal-esque companion.

Taking a seat in her normal spot, Yuu felt the unmistakable sense of eyes trained on her, and spun around, looking for the source. When she found it, she recoiled, tilting her head downwards as if to hide her presence behind the curtain of hair that fell around her daintily beautiful face.

Two of her harassers sat a little ways behind her, glaring as they snickered, attentive to Yuu’s semi-vulnerable position. Still, with that fire breathing raccoon, they couldn’t do anything to her directly.

Yuu could barely focus on the class, with the combined forces of physical pain and mental distress working to keep her very preoccupied. Even reminders from Mr. Trein didn’t snap her from her internal stupor, though she knew her bullies were cruelly ridiculing her every time she received a clip from the teacher.

The worst part was, there was no escaping it. In every period, it seemed like the problem was chasing her. She couldn’t avoid those judgemental glowers, or the hushed lampooning that always managed to hit so close to home.

Like most other days, Yuu skipped lunch, her stomach now having gone quiet thanks to the use of her continued starvation. She sat with Grim, joking lightly as she watched him eat, wishing she could do the same without the guilty thought of ruining her body.

And, through hour after hour, the school day ended with a piercing ring, all students being dismissed with an armful of homework and an array of deadlines, Yuu included. “I’m beat! I just want to go home!” Grim cried, stretching. He started to walk away, but stopped when Yuu didn’t follow. “Coming?”

“Uh, n-not today! Kalim and Jamil are going to walk me over to their dorm.” Yuu explained, leaning against the doorframe. “You could come with us, if you wanted.”

“And sit around, watching you do God-knows-what? No thanks. I’m heading back to the safety of my kitchen.” He refused, uninterested.

“Oh wait! Then... could you take these with you?” She held out her homework, significantly less than the average student thanks to her lack of magical prowess, but still enough to take up a good chunk of her free time.

“Eh? Why can’t you do it yourself?”

“Because I want to be here when Kalim and Jamil show up! And besides, the Great Grim can handle such a little job, right?”

“Man, I hate when you use that as you excuse...” Grim sighed, taking the papers, “but of course I can! Now I’ll be off. See ya later, Yuu!” He hopped off, leaving Yuu in the dead silence.

The feeling from earlier that day returned, hands becoming clammy, heart rate accelerating, and limbs becoming stiff as Yuu stood. She despised being alone, especially because she knew the situation she was in, but her stubbornness turned away any thought of asking for help. She couldn’t do that, and let her friends believe she was too weak to face her own problems!

She wasn’t sure how long she’d been standing outside that classroom, but as soon as those brawny figures emerged from thr shadows, she wished for nothing more than to dart into it. Fear kept her paralyzed, even as they trapped her in a circle, back preser to the wall. “All alone? Do you never learn from your mistakes? How dense can you be?”

“Please, stop. Haven’t you done enough?!” Yuu fought, never once making eye contact.

“Done enough? You’re lucky we’ve been this kind to you!” One of them laughed, earning grunts from the rest.

“Kind? You think calling me names and criticizing me is kind?” She didn’t know where this confidence came from, but she felt her adrenaline spike because of it.

She was finally going to stand up for herself.

<————>

“Ahh! I hope Yuu’s okay! I sure got an earful from Mr. Crewel...” Kalim worried, rubbing the back of his head.

“Only because your such a dunce,” Jamil rolled his eyes, “I’m sure she’s fine. She’s been a little... off as of late, but we’ll sort that out when we’re back at the dorms.”

“I know, I know... ugh, I’m going to go on ahead! I need to apologize!” Kalim decided, jogging to meet up with Yuu.

He’d screwed up a potion in class, earning a huge mess to clean and a lecture from Mr. Crewel as a reward, Jamil staying behind to help despite Kalim’s protests against it.

Rounding the corner, Kalim froze midstep, darting behind the wall once again to listen in on the event he stumbled upon.

Yuu stood with her back to the wall, face hidden in her hands as a group of four surrounded her, laughing. “No more spunk? I thought you wanted to fight back, birdie!”

Yuu didn’t respond as she sobbed, a pitiful sound that cracked the dorm leader’s heart into pieces.

Kalim quickly assessed the situation, identifying the four boys. He was more than aware of the fact that if he charged straight in, a fight would occur, and he was outmatched. The best thing he could do was get help.

Spinning on his heel with guilt encumbering his steps, he silently darted away, racing back to Jamil. “J-Jamil! Yuu needs help!” Kalim panted, pointing to down the hall.

The usually stoic vice flinched, eyes widening as he stumbled back a step. “What do you mean?” He asked hurriedly.

“Yuu, she’s—just get down there and keep them busy! I’m going to get Headmaster Crowley!”

“Got it! Be quick!” Jamil nodded, rushing down the corridor, silently forming a plan. He didn’t know who “they” were, or how many he was facing, but he knew he had a not so secret weapon he could use if worse comes to worse.

Darting out from the end of the hall, Jamil was almost half convinced that he was going to see nothing, but was proven sorely wrong when he realized the position Yuu was in.

“Just leave me alone!” She screamed, trying to swat away the enclosing boys around her.

“Oh, the gusto! Think you can hit back now?” A Savanaclaw flunkey grabbed Yuu’s hand roughly, making her cry out.

Like a lightning bolt, Jamil lurched forward, moving with an unmatched agility as he grabbed the unsuspecting student’s shirt, yanking him away as he protectively held Yuu, her face buried in his chest as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

“Just what do you think you’re doing?” He growled lowly, eyes clouded with a dark rage.

<————>

Yuu wasn’t sure where it went wrong.

One minute she had the confidence to face her foes, the next, tears were streaming down her rosy cheeks as she hid behind her hands.

Just after the bully roughly seized her hand, her burns sending stabbing agony down her arms, she was suddenly pressed close to someone’s chest, their grip tight enough to show their anger.

“Just what do you think you’re doing?” She recognized that voice, and the animosity it was thick with.

“So the birdie really did get help! Took long enough.”

“You’ll do well to refrain from speaking like that,” Jamil warned, a hand snaking into Yuu’s hair, “lest you wish for your own defeat.”

“Big talk. What’s someone so scrawny like you going to do anyways? Hiss at me, Viper?”

“Yuu, get behind me and cover your eyes,” Jamil whispered, releasing his grip on her. She did as she was told, though trembling slightly.

“You four worms will fall to your knees and bow to me, your master. Snake Whisper.” Yuu listened to the sultry tone of Jamil’s voice, cognizant of the sheer power his unique magic carried.

The sound of grunts and bodies hitting the floor echoed in the tall corridors, and Jamil turned around, practically crushing Yuu in a warm embrace. “Are you alright? Did they hurt you?”

“J-Jamil... I—“ Yuu silenced herself with a hiccup, wrapping her arms around Jamil’s bigger frame, who responded by running a hand through her hair gently, shushing her cries.

“Yuu, Jamil!” She looked over Jamil’s shoulder, seeing Kalim rushing towards her, Crowley following close behind. “Hey, are you okay?!” He demanded, placing a hand on her shoulder as she broke away from Jamil.

“N-Not really...” She was finally truthful, wiping away a new wave of tears.

“Excuse me. What happened here?” Crowley snapped, arms crossed as he glared through his mask.

“I believe I may know. Kalim, please take Yuu back to Scarabia, I’ll meet you there when I’m finished taking care of this.” Yuu cringed at the end, imgination running wild at the implications.

“Roger that. See you.” Kalim too seriously answered. He extended his hand to Yuu, who hesitantly shook her hear. “What’s wrong? Are you hurt?” Kalim asked, red eyes brimmed with unnatural worry as they walked farther and farther from the four boys.

“My hands...” Yuu trailed off, revealing her burns for the first time that day. Kalim stopped, taking her wrists as opposed to her hands to avoid agitating the sensitive area. His skin felt smooth and cool, somewhat calming her heartbeat.

“Did they do this to you?”

“No, I did. It was an accident this morning.” Yuu explained quietly, keeping her head low.

“Hey,” Kalim said softly. He let go of her wrists, hooking a finger under her chin to tilt her head up. “You’re safe now. Come on, let’s get those burns healed.”

“Alright...”

<————>

Snuggling into the plush pillows at her back, Yuu sipped from her tea in the Scarabia lounge, lit by a few unscented candles, courtesy of Kalim.

It was a sweet, minty flavor that warmed her core, tears dried for the time being as she drank, wincing every so often at the enhanced sting in her palms.

“Can I see your hands, Yuu?” Kalim asked, sitting on his knees before her, a small container of something placed gingerly on the floor.

“Sure,” she nodded, setting her cup down as she exposed them to him. She sucked in a breath, they looked so much worse than that morning. Candy red and splotchy, it was inevitable that they’d crack and blister eventually.

Twisting open the cap, Yuu eyed the cloudy cream within, watching intently as Kalim dipped his fingers in, scooping out a little and smearing it on her palms, to which she smiled as the pain was relieved to some of extent. “Aloe vera. Jamil would always put it on my skin whenever I got burned.” Kalim revealed, grinning as he capped the container.

Yuu hummed, flexing her hands as Kalim watched, silently debating. “Yuu... how long have they been hurting you?” He said at last, fisting the floor.

“T-They... since before I met you.”

Kalim gasped. “What? Why didn’t you talk to me—or Jamil?! We would’ve helped you! We could’ve—“

“I didn’t want to seem weak!” Yuu shouted, silencing Kalim. “I wanted to show you I could handle myself... that I can be strong, like you guys! That I... that I...” She sniffled, using the back of her hands to block the tears that now threatened to fall.

“Oh, Yuu...” Kalim softened, scooting so close that their knees touched. He pried her arms away all too easily, threading his larger hands in the softness of her hair as his palms laid over her cheeks, wet with water. “I promise, I promise, I’d never see you like that. Never. It doesn’t matter if it’s daytime, noon, or night, always rely on me. I’m here, Jamil is here, and we care about you so, so much.”

At that, Yuu openly cried, grabbing onto his sleeves despite the fresh cream painted over her flesh. Kalim pressed his forehead to hers, using his thumbs to wipe away the glistening beads, hushing her sobs tenderly.

Kalim’s ears perked up as he heard approaching footsteps, looking over his shoulders to see Jamil, knuckles reddened as his glare morphed into a look of pity. Extending an arm, Kalim invited him over silently, to which he accepted.

Yuu’s eyes opened as she sensed someone kneel beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders like before. “They told me everything. I gave them what they deserved, and rest assured, each of thise imbeciles will be facing due punishment.” Jamil said, bruised knuckles a testimony.

“What if... What if they were right?” Yuu asked, voice cracking terribly.

“What?” The two asked in unison.

“All those things they called me... what if they were right? I really am just an incompetent waste, I should just go back to where I came from!” She wailed, Kalim and Jamil sharing beyond surprised gapes.

Kalim hesitated, opening and closing his mouth, unable to form coherent words. So Jamil did it for him. “Yuu, Yuu no. No, I can’t explain how wrong you are. Do you know how much you are loved in this school?” He asked, barely whispering.

“I... am?”

“Yes, of course you are! I’d miss you so much, everyone would!” Kalim admitted, looking to Jamil.

“But why? What do you see in... me?” Yuu continued doubtfully.

“Hm, well how about this for starters,” Jamil looked to Kalim, both of them sharing the same idea, “maybe because you’re funny, and can make me smile even when I’m frustrated.”

“Or because you’re kind, and always willing to lend a hand to someone that needs help,” Kalim followed, sliding a hand into Yuu’s.

“You’re gorgeous, like the sun, radiant and breathtaking.” Jamil ran a hand through a stray lock of hair, tucking it behind her ear.

“And you’re happy, just a bundle of laughter and smiles! You go along with all my crazy ideas, and I have so much fun with you!” Kalim finished, booping Yuu’s nose and making her giggle.

“You’re perfect, Yuu. It doesn’t matter what anyone else says.” Jamil smiled so genuinely, eyes squeezing shut.

“You’re a perfect desert flower, impeccable and extraordinary.”

Yuu covered her mouth as a new kind of tear streamed down her face, ones that spoke her gratitude rather than her sorrow. She laughed, twinkly and unfiltered, throwing her arms around Jamil and Kalim, pulling them into a bone crushing hug.

She didn’t say anything, just locked them in her embrace as she laughed and laughed, mixing with the sounds of Kalim and Jamil’s.

Swathed in the mingling warmth of her two best friends, Yuu’s chest was feather light for the first time in a long while, every insult and wound forgotten thanks to the sincerity poured into the boys’ speech.

She believed things could get better. She had faith, and now had her friends to anchor that faith.

Yuu beamed, as beautiful as a desert flower.

Oh boy, I may have gone a little overboard with this.

This was a wonderful prompt, I had so much fun with it! Thanks to @sanata101 for my first request! I hope you enjoyed!!

Stay lovely!

FETH: Stuffing and Hunger canons - Blue Lion House boys

Here are some belly canons of Stuffing and hunger for the Blue Lion House boys. I will be doing this for all of the houses when I get time so let’s start with the house I first joined XD

Blue Lion house: 

Dimitri: Hunger - Has a high metabolism and hungers often, especially after training. Cannot cope when empty as he becomes very weak and shaky.

Stomach growls - Deep and guttural like the moans of a wild beast...much to his embarrassment. Persistent until he eats and will not stop unless he eats his fill...which is a lot. Sylvain and Felix who have a dorm room either side of Dimitri’s, have claimed to have heard a wild beast in the vicinity at night sometimes and have yet to catch the thing. The pair grew up with the prince, you’d think they’d figure it out a bit quicker! They know how loud his belly can get.

How does he react to his stomach growling? Alone - A sigh and a gentle rub at his stomach. “Come now, how can you be hungry again? We barely just ate” In public - “O-oh my, do excuse me. It appears I may have worked up quite the appetite in that last bout.” He would place a hand against his middle and blush slightly, turning away if possible and finding it hard to make eye contact. Fullness - It takes a very long time and a lot of food to stuff Dimitri due to his high metabolism, it doesn’t help that he needs to feed that strength of his either. He has a strong stomach, being able to eat things that may give normal people stomach ache. The prince will always eat until full. His belly doesn’t show often so you’d need to stuff a lot in there for it to start looking big. On a side note, the prince’s belly can get rather large when stuffed to the brim. Digestion noises- Loud and churny after a big, heavy meal but softer after a satisfying meal. Still when his stomach is satisfied you’d be able to hear it digest in a quiet room. Loud digestion~ How does he cope with being full? Alone- He would return to his room, let out any air in his gut when he’s sure he’s finally alone with a rather soft belch, undo his armour and subsequent clothing and flop onto his back on the bed. He’s a sucker for comfort when stuffed and likely will fall asleep as his stomach digests loudly to itself. In public- He will initially relax, stifle his belches and lean back. “Ahh~ That was a most filling meal Dedue, you never cease to amaze me. I am full.” That is until he realises that he’s slouching and that it is very unprincley, coughs into his hand and pats his stomach. “Ahem, excuse my crassness, that smelled delectable, wouldn’t you agree?” Bonus note: Unfortunately the boy lost his sense of taste so he isn’t one to be commenting on anything but smells.

Dedue:

Hunger - Largely ignores his hunger and only eats when necessary. Can eat a rather fair amount due to his size. Needs a lot of food to prevent being sluggish but will not eat every time his stomach moans for food, only at set mealtimes.

Stomach growls - Has a fairly well behaved stomach that only rumbles when hungry and quietens down immediately after being given enough food. Deep, steady and loud when running on empty. How does he react to his stomach growling? Alone - Ignores his belly’s rumbling or just eats if it’s mealtime. In public - He will excuse himself politely and admit that he is hungry and that he will need to eat when next possible. It would no doubt embarrass him but I’m not sure he’d blush at the notion unless made fun of. Fullness - Dedue can put away a lot of food though nowhere near as much as Raphael or Dimitri and it will take a portion size bigger than a person would normally have to fill him entirely. Dedue eats to fill his belly but rarely overeats, when he does it is usually the young prince’s doing. “You have to eat your fill, have some of this.” Of course the price stopped his pestering as much when he realised the poor man couldn’t stomach as much as he could. Digestion noises - Despite popular belief, Dedue has a relatively quiet digestion for such a powerhouse which contrasts his stomach’s hungry rumbling when running on empty. No doubt you could hear his digestion if your ear were against his gut but any other time you’d be hard pressed to hear it gurgle. How does he cope with being full? In public - He will again ignore his stomach being full and likely won't comment on it looking round or anything of the like unless someone else were to comment first. Should he feel he’s eaten too much he may comment on being slower than usual to no one in particular. Alone - He massages the curves of his belly hoping to ease the weighted feeling and aid digestion. Sometimes he’s so tired after working/studying all day that he falls asleep doing this. Should someone else ever get the chance to do this it will kill the poor man off, sending him into a confused blushing frenzy and he would tense up. Bonus note: Dedue will always put the needs of Dimitri’s stomach before his own and will always make sure he is full first. Will always offer his food to the starving should they need it.

Felix:

Hunger - Felix has a strong stomach for anything apart from sugary treats which is why he doesn’t eat them and refuses to take them when offered. He gets hungry more after a particularly grueling training session or after any other form of exertion. His hunger isn’t extraordinary but he does tend to be hungry a lot of the time since he’s persistently training every day. Felix makes sure to eat a big, balanced breakfast when possible. Stomach growls - Felix’s stomach can be quite loud when extremely hungry but most of the time it’s average. He has found that rubbing his empty belly quells the hunger pains and quietens his belly rumbles much to his relief. Sometimes he forgets to take breaks in training and it’s up to his stomach to make itself known by snapping him out of it and alerting him to his blatant hunger and neglected belly. How does he react to his stomach growling? Alone - He would “Tch”, run his hand through his hair and outwardly scold his irritating belly for disturbing him and being so needy before going off to eat. In public - Felix denies that you ever heard his stomach and if you point it out to him you’ll be in his bad books for a little while. He’ll walk away as soon as he realizes his belly has been heard. Fullness - Felix doesn’t like being full, it makes him feel sluggish when he needs to be nimble since he needs his evasiveness to be on top form in battle and he could be attacked at any time right? When he is full he’s never overly stuffed for the same reason. He’s quite skinny despite being muscularly sound and fairly strong so when he is stuffed his belly is quite noticeable, which is too damn embarrassing.

Digestion noises - Felix has average digestion, sometimes it’s loud, sometimes it’s quiet as it’s all highly dependent on what he’s eaten, when satisfied his digestion noises have been noted to sound like a cat purring. None-the-less Felix has a fair metabolism so his fullness never lasts for too long. It does pale in comparison to Dimitri’s metabolism though. How does he cope with being full? Alone - Felix will grumble to himself and will his belly to go down if too full, he only rubs his stomach when in private. He will tear off his clothes and clamber into bed before resting one hand on his bloated belly and another over his eyes. He complains and moans when overly full, especially when alone. In public - He will try his best to hide his belly away, opting to place his clothing or anything he can find failing that, across his lap to cover his bulging belly. Again Felix will most likely walk away and snap at anyone who comments on his fullness.

Ashe:

Hunger - Ashe deals with hunger by trying his best to ignore his stomach but will eat as soon as he feels empty enough. Much like Dedue, Ashe will eat when he’s hungry but only when appropriate to do so. He hungers quite often which the poor boy finds rather embarrassing.

Stomach growls - Ashe has an average sounding stomach that can be rather high-pitched and whiny at times. It doesn’t get exceptionally loud but can turn heads when he’s super hungry. When it rumbles he really feels it beneath his small frame. How does he react to his stomach growling? Alone - When alone Ashe is still liable to blush at the hungry sounds his belly is making, even when there is no one else around to hear. He will shush it and give it gentle, circular rubs...Ashe is a big tummy talker when alone. “Please be quiet.” In public - He will shrink into himself or shirk back into his seat in embarrassment. Queue the pink hue underneath those freckles and a nervous laugh accompanied by a twitching lip. “..o-oh….Excuse me…” How cute!~ The boy will try to find food as soon as he is able to fill himself and avoid the embarrassment of another growl occuring. Fullness - Ashe is a secret big eater. After growing up with pretty much nothing he does not take food for granted and will stockpile it. Deep down he still has that urge to eat when he can just encase it ever gets taken away again or if he finds himself in a situation where he is unable to find food for a large period of time. He enjoys the full feeling though doesn’t like the fact that he hiccups a lot when his belly is too full...and that his hiccups are adorable. Digestion noises - Ashe’s stomach digests fairly softly but the noises are sloshy and gurgly and rather constant, not very conventionally attractive compared to a deep, manly rumble. (Not that it bothers us degenerates ;) ) It’s calm when stuffed and for that Ashe is thankful. How does he cope with being full? Alone - Ashe will sigh in content and attempt to work on any outstanding projects he has left to do in his room or maintain his bow string and arrows. Sometimes his full tummy is too bloated and gets in the way of his work, in this instance he will blush to himself and massage his tummy to get it to go down. When sleeping with a full belly, this boy loves to cradle it in his arms and talk softly to it. In public - He will lean back and pat his full tummy, not really being embarrassed by it unless its size becomes too obvious or if someone points it out to make it a big deal. The boy can eat a lot and actually isn’t afraid of showing how much he can eat. Bonus note: Ashe is a good cook and likes the meals he makes but he prefers good food prepared by others.

Sylvain: Hunger - Sylvain hungers averagely. His belly aches when it’s empty and when it moans he’ll go off to quieten it down, simple. Stomach growls - Sylvain’s stomach can be temperamental. It makes all sorts of noises when he’s hungry and even when not. His belly can be very loud and demanding but also soft and grumbly. Regardless his stomach growls are always lengthy and continue for a good few seconds each time. How does he react to his stomach growling? Alone - He’ll smile and hold his tummy, perhaps even pat it and smile. “Hungry again huh? Looks like we had better put some food in ya. Let’s see if there’s a pretty lady we can eat with, whaddya say?” He’s not too shy about tummy talking when he’s running on empty. In public - He’ll slouch and complain about his hunger or make a joke about it, not overly embarrassed by the noises. “Hear that? It’s my stomach waking up.” In the case where he’s with a lady however he’ll enter full flirt mode regardless of his groaning belly. “I’m sooo hungry~ Wanna accompany me to the dining hall?” Or “Ah, my stomach is calling out to you, it speaks the language of love *Grooowl* And food as it happens haha.” Fullness - Sylvain can’t eat as much as the other blue lions, in fact I’d say he has the smallest capacity of all of the boys right behind Felix. He tends not to eat much to watch his figure. If a lovely lady were to offer him food however I doubt he’d be able to refuse and may just keep eating until totally stuffed and unable to cram in another morsel. “Urp...I’m sorry ladies but my belly is feeling rather full. Stuffed full of all of your delicious treats so thank you.” He’d pat his bloated belly with a wink. Damn flirt =__= He hates the sluggish feeling he gets from a full tum so tries not to overeat either. Digestion noises - Sylvain’s digestion isn’t very loud at all and the types of noises vary just like his hunger rumbles. This belly has a mind of its own at times. How does he cope with being full? Alone - He’ll ignore the fullness and carry on as usual or just sleep it off. He may not talk much to his belly when it’s full compared to when it’s talking back to him but he’ll rub it and hope it digests quickly. Sylvain isn’t really the type to stifle belches either when alone. In public - He’ll largely ignore his fullness, giving it the odd pat here and there and stifling his belches. He’s not overly embarrassed by his full belly no matter the size as he’s pretty outgoing regardless. He’ll stretch and let his large belly just hang out. If he’s with ladies he might excuse himself if too full or turn it into a way to flirt somehow. “I’m so stuffed, care to rub my stomach. I hear it’s good for digestion and you have such delicate hands.” Side note: If this dude EVER finds out you have a thing for bellies, full or empty he’ll be on it like a whippet up a drain pipe! That is an opportunity to flirt if he ever saw one. These are all my opinions and you are free to challenge em ;) I hope you enjoy~
