thinking about jack who catches you staring at yourself in the mirror, hunched over like a gremlin with a frown and a pout on your face.
ah, he thinks, i know this dance
"honey?" he walks over to you, circling his arms around your stomach. "what's going on in that pretty head of yours, huh?"
your frown deepens as you lean on him. "you've made me fat."
he chuckles. "me?"
"they call it happy weight." you cover yourself with your arms, "the weight you gain when you're in a happy relationship."
"isn't that a good thing?"
"the happy thing? yes." you say. "the gaining weight part? not so much."
jack hums. "i think you look beautiful like this."
"pish posh."
he laughs. "seriously. i've gained weight, too. it's okay. like you said, it's happy weight."
"it's okay for you, you're a guy!" you argue, "you gain weight and nobody says anything. i gain weight and my family— no, society, has to comment about it every time."
ok maybe i don't know this dance. jack takes his words back.
you sigh and pause before saying. "i'm skipping dinner."
"what? honey, you can't not eat dinner, you haven’t eaten all day-"
"i'm going on a diet!" you shout as you walk away.
"honey, come on," jack follows you, "you're beautiful. i mean it. i like seeing you so happy when you eat. i like taking care of you. i love you-and always will-no matter how you look."
he stands in front of you. "i don't want you starving yourself just because the world's beauty standards are ridiculous."
you look at him with a frown, but the warmth in your chest can't lie. "...fine."
yup, still got it. jack proudly thinks to himself while going to the kitchen to cook you something.
