GE Saeran reassuring MC about their body image? (I'm plus size and i always feel inferior for it, and i know i shouldnt, but ive always struggled with body image issues.)
"You're beautiful." His words were sweet whenever he embraced you, but there was a part of your heart that feared for the worst, even if he hadn't done anything to make you doubt him. It wasn't his fault those fears flared to the surface, though. Years of self-doubt always crept in, whether you liked it or not, because society decided something about beauty standards it never should have.
It made people look at and treat you differently. It made you look at yourself differently, too. You couldn't remember a time when you didn't doubt yourself, but you were certain there must've been a time in your life when your reflection didn't make you feel anxious. You wished that you could remember those days. Maybe then, it wouldn't have been as bad when Saeran smiled at you.
You knew he wasn't lying.
You knew he thought you were as lovely as a rose.
But the pit in your stomach was afraid that it could change (even if it never would).
For what it was worth, Saeran knew you couldn't take a compliment without feeling worse for wear. He never forced them on you, nor did he make you listen to them every day. He only said it when he felt it, and when he did, it made it easier on your heart to believe him. The word felt precious because he always said it in the heat of the moment when his heart sputtered.
"Do you think... one of these days, I'll be able to believe you right away without second-guessing myself?"
Saeran squeezed your hand. "I know you will, my love. Because you are alive, and in a body that shows the experience and love you've shared in this lifetime. Every wrinkle, fold, stretchmark, and freckle is proof you're here with me, and I'm happy I get to spend the rest of my life admiring you. Your heart is perfect, and I'm sure you've heard that often, but the rest of you is just as perfect in my eyes, too."
Those were familiar words, if only because you often reassured Ray with the same gentle thought.
"I'm glad I'll get to keep learning that lesson with you by my side, too."
