Imagine your f/o resting their forehead against yours. They close their eyes, taking a deep breath. After a moment of silence, they smile and whisper.
"You mean everything to me, and I appreciate your presence."
Imagine your f/o gently holding your face in their hands, smiling kindly.
"You are so important to me," They begin, exhaling contently. "And I want you to feel loved, because you deserve it."
Imagine your f/o holding you while you cry. They rub your back soothingly, providing you with a feeling of safety and support. They validate and listen to you without judgement, giving you words of encouragement and appreciation. They will always be so proud of you for opening up to them in these ways.
Imagine your f/o being unable to hide their appreciation for you. Whether it be through their actions, their words, or the gaze they hold, it's clear you're so valued by them.
Even if they don't bring it up out loud, they wouldn't have it any other way.
