your boyfriend comforting
you after seeing you
insecure about your body...

"Hey, babe." I feel a soft kiss on my cheek and smile at the familiar feeling of Theodore saying hello.

But at the same time, my stomach churns at the thought of him seeing me like... this.

I don't think he realized what I was doing standing in front of the mirror when he showed up, but analyzing my body head to toe before going out was routine now.

I literally couldn't go out if I was feeling even a little self conscious. I hated the fact that I cared so much, but I do.

I've never felt good in my own skin and I can't help but almost... try and conceal my insecurity by wearing oversized clothing.

Theo knows and insists I'm perfect, but raises a brow and sighs when he sees the jumper I'm planning to wear over my dress on my bed.

It's boiling outside.

I was in sport clothes because me and Theodore were gonna work out together. We normally do go to the gym about twice a week.

"I'm not letting you wear this." He says? giving me a knowing look and I bite my lip.

"In case I get cold." I mumble, sucking in my tummy a little but relaxing when Theo kisses my shoulder.

"Baby, you won't need it. If anything, we'll use magic. C'mon, now." He smiles and kissed my lips.

I gulp but hold his hand, walking to the gym with him... without my hoodie.

I was uncomfortable, I'll admit. I hated having my body out and the thing is: I'm not even stereotypically ugly.

I'm a really pretty girl... I know it deep dosn but I just couldn't believe myself whenever I said it.

We had to go down a park path to get to our gym and... there was a group of girls.

I sighed and held my head up as we walked past, Theodore didn't even look to the left, but all I could focus on was how pretty they were.

"Theo, we have to go back. I don't wanna work out anymore."

What are you doing, Y/n?

I don't know what's happening; we're 2 blocks away from the gym and I just gave up.

What's the point of going to the gym, putting in effort, when my body will never be perfect?

"Baby... hey, what's wrong? Did I do something? Wh-"

"You didn't do anything. I don't feel like going anymore."

The heat of embarrassment combined with the heat of the day made me skin feel sticky and I cross my arms.

"I... we can go back." He says, searching my face and I sigh, trying not to tear up.

Oh, boy.

-

"Y/n. Stop. Your feelings are valid, okay? But I completely disagree. You're fucking perfect. I mean, look at you. Inside and out, I don't see one flaw."

I rest my head on his shoulder, sniffing. I had opened up to my boyfriend.

He had listened to everything I had to say, about my insecurities and how I view myself.

I had nothing to hide anymore.

"You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen and I have no fucking doubt about it. Baby, don't talk about yourself like this."

"You have nothing to be insecure about and my life is so much better because you're in it. I consider myself the luckiest man. Like, just get up quickly."

I giggle when I get up and he twirls me around, squeezing my hips.

"I love you." I say and he gets up, kissing my lips and I blush.

"I love you too."

-

From then on, he showed his love me much more affectionately and he made sure to make me feel better whenever I was down.

He reassures me every day that I'm the only girl he could ever want and that he didn't see anything wrong with me.

Sometimes all we need is a few encouraging words to make us feel better.
