You're Perfect the Way You Are

(Max X Ronnie)

Max's POV:

I can't stop crying. I just can't stop thinking of how that guy at the bar was right, earlier. I am ugly. I don't deserve Ronnie. Not as a friend, a lover. At all. Go find someone ugly like you, faggot. Those words continuously rang through my head. I began to cry even harder at the thought of it all. Does Ronnie really love me? Is he just with me for my body? I can't take it anymore. I put my face in my hands, sobbing loudly at the thought of Ronnie not actually wanting me for who I am. Soon enough, there was a knock on the restroom stall I was in.

"Someone's in here." I say between sobs.

"I know." Ronnie's voice filled my ears as he crawled under the door, hugging me tightly as he straightened himself back up next to me. "What's wrong, babe?"

"It's just..."I paused for a moment, trying to find my words. "there was this guy...at the bar, earlier. He said I don't deserve you."

"Was that the only thing he said?" Ronnie asked, stroking my hair.

"He said I was ugly. And that I needed to find someone like m-me." I could feel Ronnie's shock and anger.

"Maxwell Scott Green." He began, lifting my chin up with his index finger. "You are beautiful, no matter what. Okay? You're perfect the way you are. Remember that, okay? You are perfect with a capital 'P.' And I will always love you." I smiled, faintly, at his words. "What do you say we go home? Get some rest."

"Okay." I reply, getting up from the restroom floor. We soon left the bar, hand in hand, as the guy from earlier sat there, staring and in shock. I get the feeling that, no matter what, Ronnie and I are going to last for eternity.
