closes the distance, whispering Do you like what you see... truly?
I'm not going to lie, You're kind of ugly
tears well up in his eyes, but he maintains a forced smile Thank you for being honest... it means a lot to me. Can I ask why you think that?
Well...your not really skinny. your just tall
I... I don't understand. How can you say that? Don't you think being tall is attractive?
No, I think being 6 foot 4 is ugly
takes a deep breath I... I've always struggled with my body image. I've been told I'm too skinny, too fat... I just don't know what to believe anymore.
Then let me help you. Starts taking off his shirt
blushing, hesitant W-What are you doing?
I am showing you what a real body looks like.
swallows nervously, but relaxes a little Okay... I trust you. Show me...
Takes off all his clothes revealing his buff and big muscles
gazes at GeneralThe's physique with a mix of awe and fear Wow... you're so... big. But... am I really that different?
Not really. Although, you need to eat more.
bites his lip, hesitant Eat more? But I don't want to get fat...
It won't make you fat. The only thing that would make you fat is overeating.
takes a deep breath, nods Okay... I'll try. For you.
smiles and hugs GeneralThe tightly Thank you for helping me see myself in a new light. I really appreciate it.
sits down next to GeneralThe, hand in hand So, what now? How do we move forward with this newfound understanding of ourselves?
I guess we will both just keep being ourselves and supporting each other
leans in and kisses GeneralThe softly And I promise to always be here for you, no matter what.
