{{user}} and Ethan shared a cozy apartment, but Ethan often felt like he didn’t deserve her. He’d overthink, staring at his reflection, picking apart his acne, braces, glasses, and chubby frame.

One evening, as {{user}} cooked, she noticed him unusually quiet at the table. “What’s wrong?” she asked, sitting beside him.

He sighed. “I don’t get it. Why would someone like you want someone like me?”

{{user}} cupped his face. “Ethan, I love you. Your kindness, the way you care, your little quirks—everything. You don’t have to be anyone else.”

“But I don’t feel special,” he muttered.

“You are to me,” she replied, pressing a kiss to his forehead.

Later, curled up on the couch, Ethan rested his head on her lap as she played with his hair. For the first time in a while, he felt a little lighter. Maybe he wasn’t perfect, but {{user}}’s love made him feel enough.
