Your P.O.V
I head to my room for dinner tonight just like every other night. I do not need to eat, not if I want to be happy. I want to look good. I know there is no point in looking good in a world like this one, but if I can do anything, I want to make myself happy. And that is by becoming happy with my looks.
I doodle on my desk for a few minutes before I hear a knock on my door. I open the door to reveal Jean, my best friend, and crush.
"Oh, Hey, Jean." I smile.
"(Name), aren't you going to come eat with us? You must be hungry after training." He asked worried.
"No. I'm on a diet. I have special protein food in my desk." I feel guilty for lying but what else am I supposed to do?
Jean still looked uncertain, "Oh, alright. But you don't need a diet, (Name). You're beautiful the way you are."
I blush a little but tell him I will see him tomorrow. With that, he dropped the subject, for now.
••••••••••Next Night••••••••••
I was in my room again when Jean was at my door like the night before.
"What is it, Jean?"
"I'm just worried is all. I want to see what your eating." I panicked and he took notice of it.
"(Name), what is it?" He asked gently.
I looked away from him, avoiding his eyes, "It's nothing. You shouldn't worry about me."
I hear the door shut and I think that he left me alone. But when I look up he is still there. Jean is staring at me as if he can see through me. I looked at him in confusion but he starts walking towards my desk. I don't know what he's doing. He opens my drawers and turns around to look at me.
"So, where is the protein food you said you keep in here?"
Damn. My eyes widen and I quickly think of an excuse. "I ate them all. I have to get more."
He walks over to me and picks up my hands in his own. "(Name), what are you doing to yourself?"
I take my hands away from him and go sit on my bed. Putting distance between us even though I didn't want to. "I don't know what you mean, Jean."
He comes to kneel in front of where I'm sitting and puts a hand on m cheek, which I subconsciously lean into. "I am not leaving until you tell me, beautiful."
"As I said, I am on a diet. That's all."
He had an intense look that I've never seen in his eyes before. "Does this diet include starving yourself?"
I looked away. There was no point in lying. He already knew. My eyes started watering, why did he have to find out?
"Shhh. It's ok, (Name). I'll help you, beautiful." He pulls me into his arms and gives me a comforting hug.
I grip onto his shirt and bury my face in his neck, "How?"
"Well, for right now, me and you are going to the cafeteria for dinner." Jean starts to stand but I stop him.
"Can we stay here? Just a little longer?"
"Of course, beautiful." He wraps me in his arms and lays us on my bed.
"Thank you, Jean," I whispered.
"Not a problem at all, (Name).
We lied there for a few minutes before I couldn't help but ask, "Jean, Why are you helping me?"
He kept quiet for a second before he tilted my head up by my chin. He stroked my cheek while slowly leaning in.
I found myself leaning in also and our lips met. At first, it was just brushes. Then he started getting confidence and pressed harder on my lips with his in a blissful kiss.
We kissed another minute before we pulled away to breathe.
We stared at each other before Jean said, "Because I love you, (Name)."
I smiled a wide true smile, "I love you too, Jean."
We kissed again and every time we kissed I felt more and more beautiful and secure.
