Self Esteem [Rosleep] (Lovers AU)

Sorry this wasn't posted until nine thirty. I was binge watching an anime on Netflix and some emergency came up so I had to help my friend out and cheer her up. I'm not sorry for missing an update because she needed me.


STORYTIME!


Think of Remy sort of like Thomas's friend Talyn in the real world. The reason why is because the author highkey has an aesthetic attraction towards them. Shut up Eva it's storytime! Remy does makeup and wears femminine clothes a lot, but their hair is short and they dye it and style it as they please. They're an Instagram queen and respond to all pronouns, even though neutral pronouns are their favorite. Causes no Dysphoria.


Remy is blessed to have a boyfriend like Roman, who is in love with fashion and is extremely flamboyant. He shaves and lets Remy use him as their canvas. The two of them are internet famous and people in real life despise them. Why? Because they're proud to be Queer and that's offensive to people. Screw them! Right? They're allowed to be whoever they want to be! And who they want to be is hella cute!


Remy was silent, sitting on the counter in the dead of night. Everyone was asleep, everyone but Remy. Remy didn't have a latte or a mocha or even a tea, just a cup of ice cold water on a humid summer's night. They weren't in pajamas. They wore their normal plentiful amounts of makeup and clothing. Remy normally goes out to parties or does makeup tutorials at night, but tonight they felt... Empty. Hollow. Alone. Depressed.


"¿¡Quién en su sano juicio estaría despierto tan temprano!? Oh? Esto no es un sorpressa.... Good Morning my love."


Roman entered into the room, mumbling angry Spanish under his breath. He's from Spain so it's his mothertongue. Then he instantly changed back when he saw sad little Remy on the counter staring at their phone and he gave them a tender and loving kiss. Remy didn't flinch nor smile. They were dealing with an internal struggle. Remy doesn't normally get like this, so Roman immediately realizes something is up.


"¿Tienes triste? ¿Para qué? Err, sorry. I'm not... awake... Why are you upset, My Love?"


The clock on Remy's phone read one in the morning, right on the dot. It's always sometime after midnight where they get into this big depressive slump, yeah? It's always been like this and it's funny that Roman still hasn't gotten used to it. Remy clicked their heels together, legs hanging down over the counter at the will of gravity, and Remy set down their phone. They looked over at Roman with tears randomly stinging in their eyes. 


"Roman, do you really think I deserve you? I deserve all this? I love it all so much, I love you so much. But I'm a selfish little ho who doesn't deserve it. What do you even see in someone like me?"


Oof, that's a fat mood. Not a big mood, because it surpasses just being big. It's a PHAT mood. With the ph. Remy knew that they didn't need exactly deserve Roman. He was amazing. He was chivalrous and kind and caring and he loved everything he did with a whole heart. He loved everyone with a whole heart, and Remy had no idea what they did to deserve Roman's love. Roman isn't say anything for a moment. He just stared at Remy like they're a dumbass.


"You're kidding me, right? The amazing, beautiful, handsome, charismatic, talented, creative Remy believes that I don't deserve them? That's funny."


Remy rose an eyebrow, forgetting how Roman uses humor to deflect negativity. He normally does this when degrading himself but sometimes would do it whenever someone deer to him talks bad about themselves. The main culprit? Normally it's Patton but apparently today it was their enbyfriend Remy. Remy's deflated, serious face showed Roman that joking around and being snarky wouldn't work. Roman slid onto the counter, wrapping a comforting arm around Remy.


"Listen, you're the world to me. The Elizabeth to my Meliodas and the Gray to my Juvia. You make my life complete and I'm never happier than when I'm with you. You bring a light into my life and you never fail to make me smile. You turn me into a gentleman, you turn me into the real me, you turn me into a better man. I would never want to be apart from you. I love you. Te Amo, Mi Sol. So please... let's get some sleep. I know we both need it."


Roman pressed a long, tender kiss on Remy's cheek, forgetting that their foundation was really bitter and left a horrid taste on his lips. Roman didn't care. A bitter taste was worth it if he got to kiss his lovely significant other. Remy softly smiled. That reassured them. They noticed how Roman slid off the counter and offered his hand to help them down. Remy took it and was gently settled back on their own two feet.


Roman took Remy's arm and escorted them to their bedroom. Roman flopped on the bed and started snoring, passed out. Remy snickered. They found a really adorable boyfriend. Yes, he was nothing but a gentleman. Remy never would have asked for better. Though they don't think they deserve him, they would never want Roman to go away. Remy went into the bathroom and took off their makeup.


Maybe half an hour later Remy was finally ready for bed. All makeup was off and they were wearing one of Roman's shirts. It was really big on Remy so they just stole some of his boxers too. What? It's comfortable! Remy grabbed a sleeping mask and some fuzzy socks and lazily flopped down next to Roman, smiling and snuggling up next to the spwarled out man. This was Remy's man. Theirs alone. Sorry sisters and misters and fellow enby kissers, this hunk of man is Remy's.


The truth? Roman didn't exactly fall asleep right away. Roman pretended to snore and waited for Remy to finally get into bed before he could be resting assured. Once he had his lovely datemate under his arms could Roman begin to dream. He dreamed of making Remy the most loved, the happiest, and the most confident human in the world. That's what they deserve.


What did Remy dream of? Wonderful question loyal reader who didn't mind waiting the entire day to get this oneshot. Remy dreamed of waking up the next day in Roman's arms and receiving adoring kisses before Roman leaves to take a shower and Remy spends five more mi utes getting some more rest. Then they would skip the shower for now and make breakfast, listening to Roman sing merrily about whatever Disney movie he thought of in his slumbers and their next day would begin.


What a wonderful thing life is.


1100 Words


Love yourself. You deserve every good thing the truth happens to you. Why would it happen to you if you didn't deserve it in the first place? You are allowed to be grateful and happy. You are also allowed to be a little bit selfish. Humans are selfish creatures. All of us are at least a little greedy. Just don't go too much, that's when you become a bad person. But it's absolutely fine to love and be happy about all the fortune you've had. 100% okay.


Internet hugs and blow kisses!
