🌸Gundham Tanaka x Chubby!Reader: Beautiful🌸

a/n: request forXxchaos_leaderx

Giving yourself a glare in the mirror, you thought crude thoughts to yourself.

Your body isn't what you want it to be. It might never be, so what are you going to do about it? 

There are other, prettier girls than you. 

I bet your boyfriend really wishes he chose Sonia, huh?

You'll never be the perfect image of yourself that you want. 

Oh, come on! You were just trying to get ready for a small outing with some friends, and the moment you tried to look just a bit nicer, your brain starts bouncing off the walls with self hatred. It wasn't fair. You did everything you could to keep your anxiety and self-critical mindset at bay, but it was never enough. Your mind was always going to clash with your heart, and it really hurt you to know that. 

Having to hear all these discouraging things...Would Gundham have really chosen Sonia if he'd been given another chance? You fought against that, there was no way. Gundham might have been a bit eccentric, but he was kind, and to you, that was enough. 

Still...the thought kept eating away at you. You never interfered with the friendships Gundham had with Sonia, or really anyone. Most of the time, you'd have been friends with them too. But recently, you were really started to feel insecure. Every time you'd look at yourself, you'd stare down at the pieces of yourself you'd want to change or just get rid of entirely. You were starting to believe that the body confidence you'd been hoping to attain was just simply out of reach from someone like you, no matter how many times people said it wasn't true.

You just weren't convinced. And you never thought you'd ever be convinced.

But sometimes the sweet things you hold close will surprise you in the best ways.

"(Y/n)? Are you nearly done in there?" Tanaka's voice sounded from the other side of your bathroom door. You scowled one more time at your body, and then turned to open the door. 

"H-hey." You said, voice wavering from the thoughts that plagued you. Yeah, you weren't feeling too good today. Maybe staying home was a better idea. 

"Gundham, don't you think it's a bit late to be...going out tonight?" You tried to smile through your nervousness, but it was hard when Gundham's face fell a little, his eyes still boring into yours. "Why? The evening is perfect, the Devas are sound asleep, there's simply no better time to do this but now." 

His completely sound logic failed to rattle through your anxiety driven head. You were set on staying home, all your fear keeping you grounded to the room. "Well yeah...it's just-" "Are you not feeling well? Could it be that it's..." Gundham sidled closer to you and whispered against his hand, "that time of the month for you?" 

Well now you couldn't help but crack a genuine smile. He was generous, even if just a bit immature. "N-no! Ahaha, that's not it! I just...psyched myself out."

Gundham took a gentle hold of your hands and walked to sit you both down on the couch. "What do you mean? If you're nervous, I, Gundham Tanaka, swear to be by your side through the whole night." "It's not that either! Sorry it's really more like," your gaze fell to your hands that were twitching in your lap, thumbing over each knuckle and square centimeter of skin like it was the most interesting thing at that moment, "I guess I...looked at my reflection for a bit too long, b-before we could leave." 

You felt so angry at yourself that you were bothering him with your worries, but now that the barrier was broken, you opened the floodgates full on. "It's just, wouldn't prefer someone with such a small waist like Sonia? Someone who's thin and pretty, some who's just as perfect as you. It...it's only my own fears, I know, but I'm so scared you'll eventually find someone who's better looking and probably j-just better overall and-"

"(Y/n)." 

His stern tone pulled your vision that was so set on your fiddling hands, it almost scared you how serious he sounded. 

"What on Earth suddenly made you think that outward appearances determined your worth as my dearest? My darling (y/n), to think..." Gundham looked down for a moment, only to stare directly into your (e/c) orbs, moving his hands to gently grasp your cheeks. "To think that you, the blatant pinnacle of beauty, should ever doubt herself. A shame." And with that, your heart had melted, your insecurities laid to rest for at least one night, and Gundham had placed a chaste kiss upon your forehead. You bathed in the love, only being able to smile and look away as your cheeks grew pinker by the second.

As Gundham stood up, he sauntered to the closet to grab your coat. "And (y/n)?" 

"Y-yeah?" You quickly stood back up to even out his gaze.

"While the inner beauty inside of you is radiant, the outer beauty was what...drew me in in the first place." His deep voice wavered, him clearly sounding more romantic than he thought he would, and apparently was thrown off by himself. "I just meant that..well, I-" 

"I love you too." You smiled at his tripping words, realizing that everyone recognized they had flaws that only they felt they could see. And well, yeah, you could see his, but you loved it, and you loved him. 

And he loved you.

You both had an absolutely wonderful time at your evening outing with everyone. And you would have regretted it if Gundham hadn't dropped a love bomb on you last second.
