insecurities

Imagine you had decided to take the day off from your job and just relax. You had become really stressed out from the rent due and Freddie's tuition money that you chipped in on. So you stayed home and relaxed while still trying to straighten up so the house wasn't a complete mess.

No matter how much you tried to convince Freddie to stay home as well he wasn't having it. He said that he had to keep busy but that he would defiantly miss you.

You felt like it would be a century and a half before Freddie arrived home so you as well tried to stay somewhat busy to pass the time. Whether that be reading, sleeping, or cleaning.

You were in the kitchen making dinner for Freddie and you. You wanted to make his favorite meal since you still found it unfair that you got to stay home and Freddie had to go to school and work.

You heard the door open and close with a loud slam. You ran towards the front door seeing Freddie sitting there on the floor against the door with tears soaking his cheeks. You couldn't help but feel your heart break at the sight.

You practically leaped to his side as you pulled him into your arms on the floor. He hugged you as tight as he could without hurting you resting his face in your neck. You just held his sobbing body as tears ran from his eyes on your neck.

"Oh darling." Freddie murmured.

"Please tell me what's wrong love." You pried hoping he would give you some kind of context to his tears.

"I'm just a piece of shit."

"Freddie please do-" You tried to say but Freddie quickly interrupted you.

"No don't (y/n). I don't do anything but cause problems for you and everyone else. I'm honestly such of a high maintenance asshole that I can't believe you haven't left me yet."

You were so stunned by the words coming out of Freddie's mouth that you didn't really have much to say. You knew that everything he was saying was so far from the truth. To you Freddie was a gift from the heavens above and he's done so much for you. Yes, sometimes he could be dramatic but that was what made Freddie, Freddie. The imperfections that Freddie saw in himself were nothing of the sort. He was perfect to you.

"Freddie, dar-"

"I'm not finished. To add on to all of that it's not just my soul that I find unbearable but my appearance as well. I'm so skinny that it looks unhealthy and  my nose is far too long. But don't even get me started on my teeth. God my teeth my me look like a hors-"

"Stop" You yelled. You were not only angry but you were livid. 

"What! It's true, isn't it?" Freddie murmured softly now slightly pulling away from your embrace on the floor.

"How could you think this way Freddie? All these things that you think are "wrong" with you- I just- How? You are such a beautiful, generous human being that I'd be lucky to spend the rest of my life with." You could feel the lump in your throat growing by the second, making tears gather in your eyes.

You look over to Freddie, noticing his own eyes were gathering with tears as well.

"I love you so much Freddie. I love your body that you think is too skinny. I love your nose that you think is too long but I think is just perfect, but my absolute favorite is your teeth because they make you, you. And darling, you are my favorite." You quickly wipe off the tear that slid down your face trying to not show so much vulnerability. 

You were here to simply be strong for him, it wasn't the time to start crying as well. Freddie started to sob once again but this time much harder and more intense than you've actually ever seen him. 

"Please don't cry. You crying makes me cry." You laugh slightly as you gather him in your arms trying to make him feel like all that you said minutes before was nothing but the straight truth.

"H-How did I get s-so lucky with someone like you d-dear?" He said as he gave you a few kisses on your cheek.

"I could ask the same thing. Now come on, I made you your favorite dinner along with some tea. I bet that will make you feel better." 

You stand up pulling him along with you giving him one last bear hug.

"I love you (y/n). You're the absolute love of my life." 

You gave him a sweet romantic kiss.

"I love you too my love."
