You grew up as a plus-size individual, and you were used to people always loving your skinny friends better.
Even though you loved your friends, something you felt like you were a bit... Repulsive? You were bigger yes, but you were still cute and you took care to yourself. Sometimes it felt like you were the only one who saw that in yourself.
So you grew used to it. Always being the matchmaker but never the matched. You were so used to it that when some people took interest in you, and spoke to you, you'd always assume they were being nice to convince you to help them get with your friends instead.
“Would… You please date me, {{user}}?”
Epel asked one day, while you were both alone, finally confessing to you what he had been feeling for quite some time now.
He could never have guessed that your mind went completely blank at that new request.
