"...Hm." Will stopped, looking at himself in a mirror, whatever he was doing forgotten.
"What's up?" Nico questioned.
"I'm chubby. I don't remember being chubby for... Years, I think. I don't know how to feel about it."
"Feel good about it. You've healed. You've gotten past your disorders enough to let yourself get a little bit of a chubby stomach. That's amazing."
"I don't know. I feel... Unfit. Like I should be working out. Getting rid of it." Will pulled up his shirt a bit, properly looking at himself.
"I'm going to ask you something, Will, and you have to be honest with me."
"Yeah, of course."
"When you weighed 80, 90 pounds, and gained a pound, was that feeling anything similar to what you're feeling now?"
"...Kinda, yeah. But that was far worse, so-"
"So nothing. Don't listen to it. The mindset you were in then was toxic and killing you. Don't allow yourself to slip into that mindset and those ideas again." Nico sort of commands. It's good, though, Will knew he was right.
"Yeah. Yeah, okay. You're okay with it, right? You still think I'm, you know, attractive? I know we don't ever properly..."
"Obviously, Will. You look far better healthy than you ever did while you were a stick. I think it's cute."
"Yeah?"
"Definitely. Also, never think you're unfit. You did not train at camp for years to suddenly be unfit just because your stomach isn't flat."
"Hm. That's true. Thank you, babe." Will smiled, hugging Nico gently.
"Always. Let's cuddle, prove exactly how much I love your body."
"I'm guessing that means you're the big spoon?"
"Duh. And I'm kissing your neck."
"Wow, I'm really getting treated today. I should get insecure about my body more often." Will half-joked.
"Do not. And really, honestly, I love the slight chub. You're adorable."
