When One Person In A Couple Takes On A More Monstrous/scary Form (especially For The Sake Of Protecting

when one person in a couple takes on a more monstrous/scary form (especially for the sake of protecting the other person) and they're so worried about the other person seeing them and being disgusted at the sight of them but when the other person does see them they're so gentle and so patient and they just want to make sure their beloved is okay and maybe even ground them if their monstrous form is overwhelming for them and it's just. you know

i want to be inconvenienced by you. i want to wait for you, i want to hold your things while you do something else, i want to make adjustments to my plans to make space for you. someone at your side who takes up no space and has no needs of their own is not a person, but a shadow. i don't want a shadow, i want you. i want my life to be altered by your presence in it. please, inconvenience me.

*patpatpatpatpat* HALLO!! It is I, the little goblin that ran up to you. I have come to say that your F/O(s) LOVE YOU!! The way you're sitting rn?? BEAUTIFUL/HANDSOME/LOVELY!!! (Stay like that so you can receive some cuddles from them.) Feeling sad?? No worries! Your F/O(s) will comfort you! You deserve all of their love! That is all for today. Keep gushing my fellow self shippers and happy early pride month!!! <3

trust me, I was scared too

(but you’re a puddle now so I guess I did a good job??) (you are hereby excused)

Imagine your F/O… but imagine them flawless.

Their dorky rambles you can’t help but pay close attention to, even if you have no idea what they’re about? Nope. The smirk you love so much, perhaps that chuckle of theirs? Forget it. All of those little “imperfections”: their tragic past, their cockiness, their flawed looks? None of that.

Except… It feels wrong now. This isn’t your F/O; this is a mundane, stereotypical, so-horribly-wrong shell.

You didn’t fall in love with a perfect being because your F/O is perfect to you. It’s a beautiful thing, isn’t it? To feel such a dedicated, yearning, unrelenting love for someone with their flaws, not despite them. Even if they can’t see it in themselves, you’d never dream of them being a regret or a mistake. Your F/O is just so imperfectly them.

… So why would your F/O ever wish for a “flawless” you?

Yes, all that was said about them in the paragraphs above applies to you. No matter how hard it may be to believe it, your F/O wants you with all your “burdens”. They want you through breakdowns and panic attacks, through triggers and relapses. They want to be your comfort, your light in the darkness, your strength.

They’re just so happy they get the honor of being with their beloved, someone who is so imperfectly you.

F/O, upon first meeting S/I: Oh, a little guy!

F/O, upon learning a bit more about S/I: Oh, they're a little fucked up actually.

Hi, I hope you don't mind taking requests, but could you please write on my f/o just- you know, being a little protective? I mean growing up I didn't have a very good environment.... So just imagining someone there to be there for you, to protect you from all that emotional trauma, lot of bullying and all....

I hope I haven't made you uncomfortable or anything.... Please ignore if it's irrelevant in any case.... Thanks :)

Hello there! 🌸

I do not mind it at all, feel free to leave asks or gush or even vent, for as long as you're comfortable of course.

This is a lovely ask, I'm not uncomfortable at all! Thank you for your support and I hope you will like this one, anon!

Take care of yourself and your F/O <3

🌸 Just imagine your F/O being way more observant and careful when it comes to you. Maybe they are not usually attentive or eagle-eyed with other people, but when it comes to your well being and your emotions, they can't help but leave everything aside, as they think about what to do and how to approach you discreetly, not to make you uncomfortable.

🌸 They understand you so well and can almost feel your emotions, they see when you are not comfortable in certain circumstances, as you will feel their hand gripping yours and squeezing it gently, looking at you and nodding, their look saying I know you are not alright/comfortable right now, I am here.

No words needed, your comfort is theirs.

🌸 About that... You bet that whenever you go out together or meet other people, your F/O's hand instantly moves to the small of your back, even if they might not realize at first, they subconsciously protect you around others.

🌸 Think about this for a second: your F/O always subconsciously shielding your body with theirs somehow, always being a step ahead and making sure you're right there with them, making sure they step between you and external factors that could harm you or affect you.

🌸 Imagine that both you and your f/o could heal together from past traumatic experiences. The two of you sit and listen to each other’s stories, not wanting to take too much of the limelight from each other. Your f/o though is more focused on hearing your story, as they cup your hands in theirs, shyly bringing your knuckles to their lips, urging you to continue.

🌸 Imagine your F/O engulfing you in their arms after you had a nightmare , their muscles tense and hard solely with the pure intention to protect you from anything in this entire universe. You'll hear soft and hushed whispers in an attempt to calm you down. Your whimpers and gentle sobs make their heart ache. Your F/O hates seeing you suffer more than anything in this world and they'd tear it apart for you.

🌸 Bonus if your F/O has a cape, wears a poncho, shawl or any sort of jacket, imagine that they always drape it over your shoulders, their hands softly lingering on the fabric on your form, admiring you. Perhaps at night, while you sleep, they come closer to you and cover you with that said piece of clothing, engulfing your form completely and keeping you close to them.
