Nobara Kugisaki x reader

Most people, even her classmates, seem to assume that Nobara has never had any problems with her self-confidence, and that's simply not true.

So even though she's gained a great amount of confidence herself since she knows what it's like to feel, well, not confident.

She notices, you know. Sometimes, when you open the door to your room in the morning and greet her — looking as beautiful and radiant as you always do — you ask her if you look nice.

She says yes, of course, and she very much means it, but you never quite seem to believe her. On other days you just close in on yourself, lost in thought, adjusting the fit of your uniform jacket or fiddling with your hair as the two of you walk down to the courtyard. .

You compare yourself a lot to other people , too. Though it's never malicious, she's heard you murmur about how you've never been at the top of the class like Maki, or how you wish that you could just wear tops casually like Kaira.

It confuses Nobara when you say those things, to be completely honest

Don't you see how smart you are? How pretty? And kind? And loved?

She asks you this one day, and you just ... kind of laugh and shrug stiffly, avoiding her eyes and her question

"Aw, stop it, Nobara-kun. You're embarrassing me."

She takes that as an answer of no, you don't believe any of those things

So Nobara concludes, in her straightforward, reserved way, that she must help convince you herself

When he first sees you in the morning, she beats you to the punch and tells you, "You look beautiful."

"You're lying."

"I'm not." She lets you slip your hand into the crook of her elbow as both of you walk down the hallway, murmuring into your ear. "You're lovely."

It's little things, she tells herself. Lots of different, little things she can do to remind you of how she sees you

Like asking you for help on English homework, because you're a whiz when it comes to different languages and she's woefully not; not only does it give her another reason to spend more time with you, but you light up whenever your fingers touch the papers, and it sends warmth through her chest to see you bask and thrive in your element

Spoiling you profusely when you go out on dates. Walking up behind you and placing her hands on your shoulders when you look at your reflection, holding your gaze in the mirror as she kisses your cheek.

(A smile creeps onto your face every time she does that, so he does it a lot)

Soft murmurs of "I love you" or just a touch and a smile in between classe, and sometimes. When the days are particularly rough, Nobara curls up with you on your bed, listening quietly with her arms wrapped around you as you spill your insecurities and fears to her, the pressures of being Tokyo jujutsu high, being a person, being their significant other.

Your voice cracks and your eyes water, ever vulnerable in her gentle grasp, but when you calm down and still seem willing to talk to her, she does. The best he can do is try to help you work through it

It's a process. You won't overcome your struggles overnight, but she'll be there every step of the way

Because she really does love you, and she wants you to love yourself as well
