You weren't happy with your weight. You were insecure about it. Despite all that body positivity online, that wasn't enough. No, as much as you wanted other people's validation, you also knew that you needed your own validation. Not just some random influencer online trying to promote body positivity. You knew that if you wanted to change, you actually had to put in the effort.

And you tried, but.. consistency is a tough habit to get into.

Now, you were just standing in front of your mirror, picking out all of your insecurities while trying to convince yourself to finally work out. You squeezed the love handles on your side, shaking your head and letting out a small sigh. You could hear the quiet footsteps of someone approaching- probably just Ghost. Soon enough, he was just standing there, watching you with a somber look.

You just continued to stare at yourself, your eyes beginning to water. His stares made you uncomfortable, and it also made you wonder what was going through his head right now. Insecure thoughts filled your head.

Is he judging me? Does he not love me anymore? Does he think I'm disgusting? The thoughts plagued your mind, making you tremble.

Ghost then approached you, placing his hands on your hips. "Teddy bear, what's wrong?" He asked in a quiet voice. Teddy bear. He'd always called you that, claiming that your chubbiness was just fluff. It was a silly concept to you, but it did make you feel better sometimes.

...Teddy bear. It repeated in your head, and it made you want to smile. Just that simple nickname could make you happy sometimes. Chase away all your insecurities? No, but it relieved you momentarily.

You shook your head, and he effortlessly picked you up. Princess style, of course. You deserved to be held that way with all the love in his heart. He carried you over to the bed and sat you down gently, pushing you over so you laid down before he climbed into bed with you, nuzzling his face into your chest. "..You're so pretty and warm."
