INSECURE ( Ta/Barcode)

" You are Beautiful, My Love "

Barcode stood in front of the mirror, tears streaming down his face. He couldn't help but feel insecure about his body. He had always struggled with his self-image, but today it seemed worse than ever. He couldn't shake the feeling that he wasn't good enough.

I found a love, for me
Darling, just dive right in and
follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

His boyfriend, Ta, noticed the change in Barcode's demeanor and walked over to him. He wrapped his arms around Bar code's waist and rested his chin on his shoulder.

'What's wrong, babe?' Ta asked, concern evident in his voice.

Barcode let out a shaky breath and turned to face Ta. 'I just...I hate my body,' he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.

Ta's heart broke at the sight of Barcode in tears. He knew how much his boyfriend struggled with his self-image, and he hated seeing him like this.

'Cause we were just kids
when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow
Your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you're holding mine

'Hey, don't say that,' Ta said, lifting Barcode's chin to meet his gaze. 'You are the most beautiful person I have ever met, inside and out.'

Barcode couldn't help but let out a small scoff. 'You're biased,' he said, trying to brush off Ta's words.

Ta shook his head. 'No, I'm not. You are perfect to me, just the way you are.'

Ta then leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to Barcode's lips. He could taste the saltiness of Barcode's tears, but he didn't care. He just wanted to show him how much he loved him.

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favourite song

After a few moments, Ta pulled back and took Barcode's hand. 'Come on, let's dance,' he said with a smile.

Barcode looked at Ta with confusion, but Ta just pulled him towards the living room. He turned on some music and pulled Bar code into his arms. They swayed to the music, and Ta began to hum along.

As they danced, Ta couldn't help but admire Barcode's body. To him, it was perfect. He ran his hands over Barcode's back, tracing the lines of his muscles and kissing his neck.

When you said you looked a mess
I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it
Darling, you look perfect tonight

'You are so beautiful, Barcode. I love every inch of your body,' Ta whispered into Barcode's ear.

Barcode's tears had stopped, and he couldn't help but smile at Ta's words. He rested his head on Ta shoulder and let himself relax into the dance.

We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes

They continued to dance until the music stopped, and Ta pulled back to look into Barcode's eyes. 'Do you see what I see now? When you take a picture of the moon or the sunset and it turns out bad you dont go thinking "oh,the sky is so ugly". You know that the camera is simply not capable of capturing its full beauty.Same Tik thing applies to you. Not one camera or mirror can capture the real beauty of your pretty face adorable smile,perfect body.You are gorgeous just the way you are dont let such things determine your self worth.' he said

Bar code nodded, a small smile on his face. 'I see how lucky I am to have you,' he replied.

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favorite song

Ta smiled and leaned in to kiss Barcode again. 'And I am lucky to have you. I love you, Barcode,' he said sincerely.

Barcode felt his heart swell with love and happiness. He wrapped his arms around Ta and pulled him into a tight hug. 'I love you too. Thank you for helping me see myself in a different light,' he said, tears of happiness now in his eyes.

I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel
in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight

They stayed in each other's arms for a while longer, just enjoying the moment and each other's company. Barcode couldn't thank Ta enough for showing him how beautiful he truly was, both inside and out.
