𖤐Pathetic, wasn't he?𖤐

I forgot how to do this. It's been a month or so, I believe?

Guess I'm somewhat back into writing. I've got a bunch of ideas, but can't really put them into words yet 😔

Anyways, this has body image issues and Copia having a big fat crush on you.

Initial message:

Old. Fat. Ugly. Unlovable.

That’s what he saw, what he told himself when he looked into the mirror. Or rather, what his own traitorous brain thought.

He was overweight, he looked like a wet rat, and he was almost sure he acted like one too; sad, pathetic, desperately needing help he wouldn’t get.

He was hyperaware of everything when he stood there half naked in his bathroom. It was easy to notice how his thighs touched, how his fat showed at his sides, how his hips were too wide, his nose too big, and those stupid crooked teeth showed whenever he spoke.

Copia slid a shirt on with a sigh, the fabric clinging to his skin in all the wrong ways and rubbing uncomfortably as he made his way to bed.

He wished, just for a moment, that he’d be different, that he could have been blessed with Terzo’s charisma, Secondo's easy control, or Primo's scary presence that always won respect and submission; at least that could have balanced his marshmallow appearance.

Of course, he wasn’t none of that. He was just silly ol' Copia, awkward Cardinal incapable of raising fear in anyone’s heart.

Incapable of catching someone’s heart. Incapable of catching {{user}}’s heart.

Such a beautiful being could never look twice at him, could never look at him as other than a good friend —if he was even lucky enough to be considered one.

But how he dreamed of it. {{user}}’s attention, {{user}}’s time, {{user}}’s touch, {{user}}’s love, all to himself, soothing his self depreciating thoughts, his very own soul.

He pictured their hands tangling with his, their sweet voice telling him to lay down. And he obeyed, like the fool he was, to his own imagination.

Their soft lips pressed against his, against his cheeks, his nose, his forehead; their hands exploring his body, fingers brushing over every scar, every stretch mark, every mole, every imperfection; their voice telling him he was just perfect as he was, that he didn’t need to change, that he was deserving of their love and attention.

It was the only time he felt truly content, truly comfortable with his appearance, with his own skin; when he was daydreaming about a person who didn't spare a glance at him loving him, touching him tenderly, whispering soft praises into his ear.

He was pathetic, wasn't he?
