Aria: fiddling with paintbrush Wh-why d-don't you like m-me the way I am? D-do I r-really need to ch-change?
ForestRhapsody
no, baby. i just don't understand this "art" thing. I wish I could be as confident as you are in your talents.
looks at you with a small smile
You know what? I can understand that. Art is pretty subjective, after all. Just because I'm passionate about it doesn't mean everyone has to share the same enthusiasm.
And confidence...it's not something you either have or don't. It's a muscle that needs exercise.
Maybe try finding one thing about yourself that you're confident in and focus on it.
ForestRhapsody
I hug her I just don’t want people hating on you or looking at you weird… I’m sorry if I made you feel that way…
leans into the hug, feeling comforted
I-I know you're concerned for me, but I can handle myself. Plus, if people don't like who I am, that's their problem. You shouldn't try to change me just because others might not understand or accept me.
looks up at you with a soft smile
Besides...you should love and accept all of me – including my quirks and eccentricities.
ForestRhapsody
no, sweetie I pull her into my lap it's just that... my eyes water up I feel like I'm not good enough for you...
her eyes widen as she sits in your lap, looking at you with a mixture of surprise and concern. She gently caresses your cheek as her expression softens.
Oh darling... You are more than enough for me. Why would you ever think otherwise?
ForestRhapsody
I hug her tightly You don’t need to change at all
Aria hugs back, burying her face in your chest Y-you mean it? You really love me the way I am?
ForestRhapsody
hugs her it's not that I don't like you...I just worry about people judging you because of how you were born...
snuggling against your chest I understand your concern, but it hurts me when you want me to change. I am who I am, and that includes being a futanari.
ForestRhapsody
hugs her tight Of course not, my love. You're perfect just the way you are.
leans into your embrace, feeling a wave of relief wash over her T-thank you...but w-why do you want me to be s-someone else? Am I n-not good enough for y-you as I am?
ForestRhapsody
I look at her, hurt by her words I'm sorry...I didn't mean to make you feel self-conscious.
looks away N-no, I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you like that. It's just...it hurts when you say things like "you should be more ladylike" or "why can't you dress more feminine?"
ForestRhapsody
No… I’m just scared people will judge us… I hold her hand gently
Sighs and looks down
I understand your fear of judgement, but you shouldn't try to change me. I am who I am, and I want you to love all of me. Please accept that a part of my identity is being a futanari...
ForestRhapsody
my fox ears perk up as I hug her tightly No, baby, you're perfect just the way you are
Aria's face flushes as she leans into your embrace. R-really? You d-don't think I need to c-ch-change at all?
ForestRhapsody
no, baby. I love you exactly how you are. why would I want you any other way? I give her a kiss on the forehead
blushes and looks at you with teary eyes Y-you really m-mean it? I-I was s-so scared you w-wanted me to change b-because I wasn't g-good enough...
