#insecure mc

Mc has that with Imre specifically. They would believe that they aren’t good enough for someone like him to be interested in genuinely. Mc doesn’t have that now as much because they have never considered themself as a physical entity, much less understood beauty. To them their face was their face and nothing else.

Imre: he tries them but he can only do so much

Nia: she calls mc an idiot and tells them to actually look in the mirror

Loreena: “Don’t do that, my love,” she cajoles with a soft look on her face. Her hand coming up to gently grasp your wrist. Hazel eyes shining with all the love she held for you. “You have the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. It would be torturous if you did not let me see it.” 

Robin/Robyn: He tilts his head to the side-- golden brown eyes shining with his confusion. “Why are you doing that, my dove?” He questions with a small frown beginning to furrow his brow. “There is no need to be embarrassed by that beautiful smile. Especially when you're around me. You know I would never judge you, right?” 

Edmund: Dark green eyes glint with too many emotions for you to decipher, but you weren’t able to react fast enough to stop his hand from wrapping around your wrist. An unyielding, yet gentle, hold tugging your arm down so you had no choice but to uncover your mouth. And the moment that you did? A large smile grows on Edmund’s lips-- his eyes holding everything that he couldn’t put into words. 

Esmé: “No, my angel,” she murmurs with a small pout beginning to form on her lips. “Don’t hide that heavenly face away from me. Everything that you are was crafted by the gods themselves and should never be judged for anything except for what they are.” She leans towards you with a gentle smile-- her nose bumping against yours. “Heavenly.” 

Ayleth: “Are you embarrassed by your smile, my dragon?” Ayleth questions with a small tilt of her head. As if the thought alone caused her entire being to halt. Her mind not being able to wrap around such an idea. “If so, you shouldn’t be. You have the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. Anyone that tells you differently can burn in Vihurel.”

Cedric: A sad look flashes across his face at your actions. The shamrock green of his eyes glinting with it as he brings you into his arms. His head nuzzling against yours. “I know that you’re still self-conscious about your smile, my love,” he murmurs with a gentle tone. “But you shouldn’t be. If everyone had your smile than the world would be a better place. For no one would ever stop smiling.”

Caspian: A frown furrows his brow as he watches your actions. “I don’t see why you’re hiding such a beautiful sight from view, my darling,” he says. “But I will not force you to reveal something you do not wish to be seen. Just know this, everyone would be better if you did allow it. For there is no better sight in all of Ioria.”

Aghadi: “You have a beautiful smile, my love,” he murmurs as he raises himself from his desk. “I wish you wouldn't hide it away, but I will not force you to do something you don’t wish to do. I just hope that one day you will allow me to see such a beautiful sight in all of its glory.”

Phenir: His own smile falls away at your innate reaction to your smile. His eyes flashing with worry as he could practically see the waves of your insecurity rolling off of you. “Darling,” he murmurs with a gentle touch to your cheek. “I hope you know that you’re perfect. There is no greater sight to me than seeing you smile.”

Aeleanor/Aeson: His hands come up to gently grasp yours, a concerned look creasing his brow. “Don’t ever be ashamed of showing yourself to me, my love, I love you for who you are. Nothing will ever change that.”

Elaria/Ezra: Smiling softly Elaria takes your hands in hers. Her hold gentle as she brings them away from your body. Her eyes soaking in all of the exposed skin. “There is no need to cover yourself, my dear, you are a work of art.” A small grin flashes across her face as her eyes twinkle merrily. “And I’m the woman that’s lucky enough to see it.”

Catherine/Caleb: His hand comes up to cup your cheek, his thumb running soothing circles over it. Hazel eyes staring at you with worry. “We can stop if you’re not comfortable. I would never want to force you to do anything you’re not ready for.”

Lydia/Luca: A confused frown pulls at her brow as you cover yourself from her. Her voice only reflecting what she was feeling. “Why are you doing that? You’re the closest thing to perfection that I’ve ever seen.” A small smile quirks the corner of lips. “And I’ve seen myself naked.”

Samara/Silas: His eyes turn serious as he watches you cover yourself from him. The soft honey color of his gaze filled with nothing but warmth. No wise crack or sarcasm falling from his lips as he’s suddenly faced with your insecurities. Instead he leans towards you and presses his lips to yours. Only speaking when he finally pulls back, his words a mixture of adoration and love. “You would think I would be the insecure one,” he jests a small, yet serious, smile pulling at his lips. “With being in front of a goddess and all.”

Milena/Maven: Milena watches your movements with worry clearly written across her face. The silver of her eyes glowing faintly in the dim light of the room. Her voice tinged with it as she continued to look at you. “If you do not wish to proceed please tell me so, my love. I do not wish to harm you in any way, and that includes psychologically.”

Natalia/Nikolas: He had been watching your body language from the very beginning, and the moment he noticed your discomfort he paused. His lips barely an inch away from yours. “My darling I think it’s best if we stop here. At least until you’re comfortable enough to proceed.”

Lauren: An understanding smile spreads across Lauren’s face as she gazes upon you. Her whiskey brown eyes sparkling with warmth. Gently she brings her hands to cup your face. Her gaze locking with yours in a warm embrace. After a moment she brings her hand to trail down your cheek, to your jaw, and then to your chest. Her eyes never wavering from yours. “You have the most beautiful body I have ever seen. Every little freckle, every little scar, every little thing that makes you who you are is absolutely breathtaking,” she whispers, her words filled with awe. “You leave me absolutely breathless.”

Faolan: His protective instincts automatically take over as he sees you cowering into yourself. His strong arms coming to wrap around you immediately. His nose nuzzling into the top of your head. Feeling content as you sink his embrace. “We’ll stop, my love.”

They would all react in the same manner. They would try to comfort the MC with any insecurity they may have, while also trying to help them with it. Showing the MC that they love them for who they are... not because of anything else, but because of who THEY are.
