Danny Avidan; fluff, some angst 


Dan and I were relaxing by the pool in the mid-afternoon heat. Dan was playing with my hair, my eyes were closed, and I felt safe. But also self-conscious. This was the first time I'd worn a bikini in front of Dan. 

It's been quiet for a few minutes now; the only sounds the sound of the water sloshing slightly in the pool, the wind, and the birds chirping. Then Danny spoke. 

"You are so beautiful."

I snorted. "Okay, but have you seen me?" I say without really thinking. I clamp my mouth shut. Dan knows I've got self-esteem issues, but I don't usually voice it. 

"Why did you say that?" Dan asks softly. I blink my eyes open to look at him. 

"I don't know," I mumble, sitting up. "I just don't feel beautiful?" I say this like a question because I don't know why I feel the way I do. I'm not that fat. Or that ugly. But I know Dan is out of my league. He sighs and nuzzles at my jaw. 

"You." He plants a kiss on my cheek. "Are." Another kiss on my temple. "Beautiful." He kisses me gently, and I hum. Dan cupped my face between his palms. "And I love you. I am so in love with you. I am the luckiest man alive to be able to call you mine, (Y/N)." 

I tuck my head against his neck and sigh. "I'm sorry that I'm difficult sometimes. I love you." 

Dan rubbed my back in slow circles. "You're not difficult. I've been in your shoes. I had body image issues. I was always too skinny, too lanky. But I've learned to love myself. And you will too."
