His reflection wasn't his, she was before him in the mirror in which he spent most of his time criticising his looks. Her face wasn't meant to be there. She was smiling at him, a big one. Not one of those force smiles she use to give him whenever he would say something corny but a genuine one. Something wasn't right. He started to run, the mirrors were chasing him. Her reflection was hunting him. The one he loved, the one who he let disappear was haunting him. As he ran, he looked over to the mirrors and noticed her change in appearance. Her beautiful curls were cut unevenly, bruises were shown on her sun-kissed skin, and her smile disappeared. Coming to a dead end RM turns around slowly and was met with her lips close to his ear. "Wake up," She whispered.

 RM sprung up and lamely fell out of bed waking a certain someone up as well. 

"What the hell, RM." She mutters as she leans over his side of the bed. Her, she was right there, in front of his face. The man in black. 

"It worked!" He said as he attacked her with hugs and kisses. She laughs into the kiss as she was also confused by his sudden outburst. 

"RM, babe, why are you being clingy?" With one final kiss, he places his hands on her smooth cheek and squishes her face. Making her pleas sound muffled. 

"I-I can't believe this!" She swats his hands away from her cheeks and held them defensively. 

"You asshole, what did my cheeks ever do to you?" Rubbing them for a bit, she gets up and walks to their shared bathroom. RM jumps out of the bed quickly and grabs her wrist. 

"(Y/N), I love you." She notices his little glimmer in his eye, she couldn't hide it. She let her smile grow before cupping his cheeks and placing a passionate kiss on his slightly chapped lips. 

"I love you too. Boy, what's gotten into you?" She pulls her shirt over her head as RM enters the bathroom. 

"N-nothing-oh god-I'm sorry, I should've knocked." He covers his eyes and turns around. She giggles as she turns on the water. 

"Cute, but you've seen me undressed, RM. This isn't special." He chuckles before removing his hands. 

Reflection. 

He notices his imperfection right away which makes his insides turn. Out of all the walls in this bathroom, he had to be faced in front of the mirror. Balling his fists he makes a tsk sound. Turning the faucet he splashes water onto his face, which helps ease his headache a bit. Wiping his face his eyes land on a pile of her make up. The brush was right there. 

                                                                                    -------

"Damn it, RM. What are you doing?" She says as she quickly walks over to him. He instantly drops the brush and faces her. There all types of colors on his face and instantly she broke down. 

"You can't stop me!" He says as he tries to put even more makeup on himself. She drops her purse and instantly runs over to her.

"RM stop it!" He silently whines as she struggles to take the brush away from him. 

"No, (Y/N). You stop! You don't get it." He successfully wins the tug of war and snaps the brush in half. The room grows uncomfortably quiet.  

                                                                                       -------

She notices his dazed state and sighs. It was like every day whenever he would look at his own reflection and complain to her about his appearance, in which she described as perfect, he was perfect to her. 

"RM, come join me." She notices his faint blush and giggles. "Okay, it's your loss." She said before hopping into the shower. Not a minute later RM looks into the mirror once more before pulling off his shirt. 

His insecurities were worse now. He didn't know how to control it.
