Diego:
"Oh this was the thing? I know this must've been hard for you to show me, but I promise they don't change a single thing. If anything, to me they look like battle scars. I'm proud of you, baby."

He was sad that there was a time in your life where you felt the need to harm yourself. He thought you were so strong for still being here. He swore from that day on that he was going to shower you with the love and affection you deserved, more than he already did.

He kissed every single scar that littered your thighs and gently ran his thumb over each of them, reminding you how much you mean to him and how happy he is you're still here. He held you close that night and whispered sweet compliments into your ear.

Luther:
"Aw honey, you should've told me sooner. I understand why you kept it from me. I promise it's nothing to be embarrassed about, I still think you're the most beautiful thing around."

He almost cried seeing your skin covered in those scars. He just pictured you harming yourself and his heart sunk thinking about it. He made a mental note to tell you as often as possible just how much you meant to him and how happy he was that you were still here.

He gently rubbed your wrists and kissed them any chance he got that night. He held your hands close to his heart and listened to your steady breathing. It was a reminder that you were alive and that you didn't give up. He told you numerous times how proud he was of you that night.

Five:
"Darling, you have nothing to be ashamed of. I would never judge you for this kind of a thing. I'm happy you showed me, we'll get through this together. I'm grateful you're still fighting."

Even if his voice didn't express much, his eyes showed hurt and sorrow. He gently ran his hands across your stomach and carrassed your hips with his thumbs. He could feel your stomach moving as you breathed, a reminder you were alive.

He would be the little spoon that night, laying his head on your chest over your heart. His hand never leaving your stomach and hips. He would whisper how proud he was that you were his and still going strong. He became more protective of you after that.

Ben:
"Bubs, no need to hide this from me. I think they look like lightning on your skin. I'm happy you trust me enough to share this. I'm proud of you for taking this step."

He cried a bit when you showed him, partly because he felt bad and partly because he met you too late to protect you. He would kiss every scar on your arms and stomach, tracing each one with his index finger. He would whisper how beautiful you were after each little kiss.

He refused to let you out of his embrace that night. He would play with your hair and rub your back. He would tell you how lucky he was to have you and how amazed he was by how strong you were. He promised you up front that he was always going to be there for you no matter what.

Klaus:
"Angel, no need to be afraid. This just proves how strong you are and I'm not going to judge you. There isn't anything you can't tell me. I love you."

Klaus was the most understanding when you showed him. He had scars of his own and was able to relate to you, though his were needle scars. He was sad for you but at the same time proud of you. He made sure to tell you that he didn't feel any different about you.

He laid his head in your lap and traced your scars that littered your hips and on your wrists. He kissed them and made sure to tell you that they made you look like a fallen angel, his fallen angel. He promised himself that day on he was never going to miss the opportunity to tell you how much he loved you.
