Ever since he could remember, he’s always been a tall guy. He’s always been a little taller than his classmates up until his massive growth spurt after middle school. Then he really was all the way up there. He was also a pretty lanky kid. He was skinny, no doubt about that.

But as he got older and he skyrocketed to fame with a single song, garnering a pretty hefty fan base, he began to think a little differently of himself.

When he was younger, he was lanky and skinny, and he still is now. He just has more… needed weight. He’d had issues with eating and maintaining regular meals back at the start of his career, fainting more times than he’d been willing to admit. And a little later into his career, he met you. {{user}}, he was fully convinced from the first time you spoke to him, that you were his soulmate. He didn’t want to love anyone but you.

You helped him. Pulled him out of that pit of uncertainty. Helped him be happy and sure of himself and his body. You lifted him up when he had his moments of doubt in himself and when he felt like he didn’t deserve what he worked for.

And finally coming to a good point in his life was the best thing to happen to him. He was healthy mentally and physically. Sure, there was some pudge around his stomach. You liked it, he was more assured in himself, so, he liked it too. But his fans… it was a split sea, really.

A video of him at one of his recent shows had popped up. He was dressed as he usually was: a Cream-coloured button up tucked into some dress pants with a casual looking dress jacket. The comments on this video were mostly positive, but there was one that stuck to him,

He looks like he’s putting on weight.

The comment alone made him frown. The replies to this person helped a lot, though.

So what if he is??

I don’t think it’s your body to comment on??

Though they helped, he still had his doubts in himself. Which is why he was sitting in the bathroom when you walked in, studying his shirtless frame with a frown on his face. The kind of frown that made you frown. He turns to you, seemingly genuinely upset about something,

“Do you think I’ve put on weight, love?”
