The first few times they go, Connor tries to be really sneaky when he adds sugary cereal and cookies and the bulk bag of candy corn into the cart. Distracting Oliver while he tosses stuff in. Strategically hiding boxes of Pop Tarts under boxes of whole wheat pasta and bags of granola. Oliver just rolls his eyes when they pile everything on the checkout belt and he really sees just how much stuff Connor added.

“You know you can get whatever you want,” Oliver reminds as they unpack the bags in 303.

Connor stops hiding his stash of junk behind the healthy food in the pantry. “Wha?”

“The cereal and cookies and – crap.” Oliver gestures to the loot Connor’s hiding away. “You don’t have to hide it. I don’t care.”

“You don’t?”

“Well, I care that you’re putting too many chemicals into your body but-” Oliver shrugs. “You’re a grown man. I’m not telling you what you can and cannot eat.” Then, trying to add a little bit of levity into the situation, Oliver picks up a bag of kale chips and waves it in Connor’s face. “Except these. These are mine. Don’t eat them.”

Connor scoffs. “As if I would ever eat your rabbit food.”

But knowing Oliver doesn’t mind takes some of the fun out of sneaking junk food for Connor. Plus, if he’s being honest, it kinda upsets his stomach now. He isn’t sleeping as well as he should and seems tired too often in the middle of the day.

The next time they head to the store, Connor still adds some less than healthy stuff to the cart but not as much as before. When Oliver shoots him a furtive look, Connor just reminds, “We need to get more Greek yogurt. And not any Key Lime ones; those are nasty.”

That night, Oliver holds out his bag of kale chips as they watch TV and Connor takes one. Biting in, Connor thinks that maybe eating a little better will be good for him. Maybe he’s turning over a new leaf. Maybe this is all part of growing up. 

Two bites in and he spits the chip out into a tissue. Stealing Oliver’s water, Connor downs the glass in one gulp. The chip tasted like dirt.

He can probably get on board with eating better but he’s never voluntarily eating a kale chip again.
