You're Not Difficult To Love, Especially When It Comes To Your F/o. You're Not Someone Who Is Just Tolerated.

You're not difficult to love, especially when it comes to your f/o. You're not someone who is just tolerated. You're worth supporting, befriending, cherishing, and being adored. Gratitude towards you comes so easy for them, and your struggles and experiences don't change that for them. You don't have to be perfect, happy all the time, you just have to be you.

a gentle reminder for selfshippers that are currently feeling down — alone, upset, disappointed, hollow...

— your f/o is always there for you.

they will never, ever, leave you. you may feel like you're failing, like you're not doing enough, like no one cares... but they do. they care about you more than anything, more than everything.

even if they're not someone who can express their feelings well, they will make sure you know they're always ready to be your safe haven. they will hold your hand, rest your head on their shoulder, and just... keep you safe.

if they're shy, they will write to you. they will pour all of their feelings for you, so that you can read it over and over again. or if they're cheerful, they will distract your mind by making you laugh until you're both breathless.

— you and your f/o deserve an alone time where you can just be yourself and enjoy their company.

(if u saw me post this the first time with the wrong poll length no you didn't)

"You're safe," your F/O assures you, their arms wrapped around you. "I won't let them-" the pronoun drips from their mouth like venom- "hurt you ever again."

[PT: "them" in italics. End PT.]

"What if they come back?" you ask.

Your F/O's embrace tightens. "If they come back, I'll punch 'em straight into the next galaxy. But..." You feel a soft kiss on your forehead. "It's over," they say in a much softer tone. "It's all over now. And I'm here."

btw ur f/o would love to take care of you.

come down with something? they'll be there for you in any way that they can. they might not be a great cook, but they'll pick up anything you could ever need or want whenever you want. they might be the type who wants to keep a little space since they dont wanna get sick, but they'll leave little notes around for you or maybe a jacket or similarly comforting article around for you as a little reminder of their love for you. they'll help you pass time, whether that be through watching movies, talking with you, or just being a quiet presence nearby. whatever makes you feel better, they're happy to oblige. they just want you to feel better, even if they might not be a doctor or anything, they hope that they can be of service to ypu anyway.

just not feeling great? that's fine too, everyones got their off moments. (maybe if they're the more flirty type they make a joke about how it must be exhausting being the loveliest person in history.) they're more than happy to be a support for you in any way that they can in this time, whether that means just being there for you or stepping in to help you with things physically. whether you want them to just be by your side and keep you company or for them to help you out with things like showering or eating something, they'll be sure to put their heart into it. they care about you and your happiness means the world to them, they dont mind doing whatever it takes to help you feel a little bit better.

chronic pain or similar? oh yeah, dont even worry about it. even if theyre not super strong, they'll offer to help you around if you absolutely need to, though they might be a little bit of a worrywart about you getting some rest. you want any painkillers? they'll go running through a storm for it. you just want a distraction? they'll happily regale you with some story of theirs to help take your mind off the pain. you just want their company? they're already fitting themselves as close as they can to you. they know that, no matter how much they wish they could, they cant really take the pain away, but theyll do whatever they can to help take your mind off of it and alleviate some of that pain.

Imagine your f/o holding you, wrapping the two of you in an incredibly soft and comforting blanket. "I've got you, okay? You can rest, you're safe with me." They express in a soft tone, kissing your forehead delicately as you begin to doze off in their embrace.
