Silco with an insecure partner π
This one was really fun to write! I focused mostly on how Silco would help his partner with their insecurities, and how that would end up helping him with his own :)

Silco x reader with disordered eating and Silco x trans reader both seem relevant so I'm linking them here π
Enjoy!
- Silco is attracted to minds, not bodies. He loves your body because it's the one you live in, and he loves every part of you. That being said, he's a very attentive person, and if he notices that there's something you're insecure about, he makes a point to compliment it more.
- you don't like that feature? Well he thinks it's very charming. After all, you wouldn't be you without it, and it adds so much to your character.
- you don't like that you're chubby? He thinks it's a very pretty trait, for every part of you to be unapologetic in the shape and space it takes, the way you seem to melt in his hold.
- you don't like that you're skinny? Well, so is he, and he thinks it's a very elegant trait, to appear so delicate while holding strength in your bones.
- your height suits you perfectly, the way you wear your hair is divine, your stretch marks show your determination, your scars are like brushstrokes that paint your life story. No matter the problem, he has a full list of reasons that it only makes him love you more.
- Silco is also not the most self-loving person. He does what he can to be happy with his appearance by keeping his hair neat, wearing well-fitting clothes, keeping a good skincare routine. But when attention is drawn to his looks, he clams up with the reminder that he is always being perceived, and not always in the way he wants to be.
- he makes sure to treat you with the same consideration. If you're trying to find the best outfit, or if you're trying to get your hair or makeup just right, he makes sure to be honest with you while also considering how you want to look; the most important thing to him is that you are happy with the results.
- as much as he wishes reassurances and self acceptance were the only forces to worry about, there will outside input to set things awry. People are so quick to judge based on appearance, and though Silco's reputation often helps people hold their tongues, there's bound to be some that are too dense or too arrogant to pay any mind to the misfortune their words may invite into their lives.
- whenever someone comments on your physicalities, he's quick to shut them down, and he does his best to ease any of your insecurities that may have been pulled up by the remarks. He reminds you that no opinion matters as much as your own and assures you that he still loves that feature, all with a hand on your back to keep you grounded.
- he does the same for himself whenever someone may comment on his appearance; it would be hypocritical and counterproductive not to, he says. His disregard and mockery for the passing comments of strangers also helps lighten the mood; making fun of obnoxious people behind their backs has always been a hobby of Silco's, and he is very good at it.
- he likes to buy clothes that compliment your natural colours and features to help enhance your self image. He hopes that, if he gives you the right frame, you might learn to love the picture. He does extensive research on fashion, what garments fit which bodies, which colours go well together, and spends hours sorting through clothes and asking employees for advice so that he knows he's getting you the perfect outfit.
- you don't have to wear it out if you don't want to, he assures you, I just want to help you see yourself in the same light that I do, with love and admiration. He worries as though he isn't excellent at buying you gifts; at least one of the things he brought you is bound to be used in future outfits.
- his charming and personal compliments help you both with your insecurities, especially the ones you share, and you both help each other learn to love yourselves over time.
