Scenario: Reader-Chan is known for being a bit chubby compare to the other cadets. She doesn't feel confident in her own skin though she can keep up with all the others. One day when Levi goes to work up in the exercise room he finds Reader-Chan working out to the max. What happens when Levi finds out Reader-Chan views herself as less important and powerful than the other cadets? (A/N: LOVE YOUR BODY YOU ADORABLE HUMAN BEING! IM NOT GIVING YOU A CHOICE! ☺️)
Warning: There's like one swear word
{Levi's Point of View}
Today was a day I rarely ever got... a free day. A day were I don't have to boss around shitty cadets or be surrounded by Hanji and her annoying experiments. Cadets were given the day off because yesterday we returned from a failed expedition. Most have left to visit family members and Hanji left to run experiments elsewhere. I may have not seemed like it, but I was stressed. No one knows but to relieve stress, I work out. It freed me of all stress for cadets, Hanji, and paperwork.
As I made my way towards the exercise room, I could hear grunting through the door. I peaked inside, worried who could possibly be here. I wasn't in mood to meet anyone who would possibly piss me off. To my surprise, when I looked in, I saw (Your name) doing sit ups. She was one cadet who I actually liked and enjoyed to be around. She was different from the others. Not only because she was considered the chubby one in the group but because she always smiled and made everyone else happy.
I walked in, not worried about encountering (your name). When I did so she looked over to me and stopped her work out process. I watched as she reached for her shirt, since she was only wearing a sports bra with shorts. This stuck my as odd. No other cadets would have done that. Was she shy? Did she feel embarrassed? Or worse yet, did she not like showing off her body since she wasn't the skinniest?
"You know you don't have to cover yourself up." I thought of any way to compliment her. She was beautiful, no matter what size she was. "You don't have to worry. Your working hard so show off your progress."
She was surprised to hear my words. I could tell from the shocked look in her eyes. "I...I don't know what to say. Thanks." She thanked me as she slowly and shyly took her shirt back off.
"There's no need to thank me though I'm curious, why aren't you out visiting family or something like others?" She took a seat and looked down after taking a deep breath. She looked as though she wanted to say something but was too scared to do so. "You don't have to answer but if you do than know you can tell me anything."
She gave off a soft smile, still looking down. "I've been working out whenever no one is around. I'm trying my best to lose weight. I know I'm the chubbier cadet out of everyone and I'm tired of hearing whispers around it. I can keep up with everyone else like no problem yet my body still makes everyone look at me differently."
I was shocked. I had no idea she was wasn't confident enough in her body to leave it the way it was. Who cared what others thought? No matter what, someone will judge you. You can't please everyone so please yourself and only yourself.
I took off my shirt and made my way in front of (your name). She looked up at me, blush starting to cover her cheeks upon seeing my body up close.
"I was born in the underground." My words caused her to stop blushing as she took interest in my words. "I was poor and never ate healthy. I blame my upbringing for my small figure but regardless, I've learned one thing and one thing only: I have to approve of myself and not let anyone bring me down. Don't let whispers or rumors tear you down (your name). You're beautiful the way you are. Make yourself happy and not everyone else around you. The right person will realize how you're an amazing hard working cadet." I may have said too much.
"Levi... you...you called me...me beautiful?" She started blushing all over again.
I didn't mean to let my own feelings slip but it was too late. "I do. And if working out is what is going to make you happy than at least allow me to help you."
She gave me a closed eye smile and nodded. By the end of my confession, I was happy my feelings slip, and happy to have not worked out; instead we both went to the kitchen and ate to our hearts content.
(A/N: Not going to lie guys... I have body confidence issues. I'm not chubby, in fact I'm opposite. Recently I've been on medication that causes my weight to change all the time. I gain weight than lose it than gain it than lose it and so on. It's been destroying my confidence but I can't stop taking the medication. Now I have to really watch myself. At one point, I even had an eating disorder. I just wanted to admit all this to let you guys know that if you are facing this yourself, you're not alone by any means! I'm always an open ear if you need a friend and of course, I don't ever tell anyone about our conversations. I hope you all love or learn to love yourself. It's a process that even I'm going though. If nothing else, I really appreciate and love you guys 💕).
