#But being bullied for being thin is nowhere comparable to systemic fatphobia

I don't know who needs to hear this but with all due respect, can skinny folks please stop hijacking the conversations about fatphobia?
It's not the same and it will never be the same.

bokuto body shaming you
kotaro bokuto x reader
angst, fluff! happy ending, drabble
before you continue to read, please be aware of the following:
tw: eating disorder, eating, food, fatphobia, insecurity, bullying, and uh using the bathroom. LOL. i wrote this at 2 am because i couldn’t sleep. bear with me.
japan’s (and most of asia’s) beauty standards consists of a girl being size 00. obviously it is highly unfair and fatphobic. however, asian girls grow up to these same standards. therefore, when y/n is hurt over the fact that they called her fat, she gets offended. this is fiction and please remember your body is beautiful no matter what size!
now that you have read the precautions, enjoy!
Tumblr media
today was super stressful, you missed breakfast because of work, clients took up your lunch time by feuding with their now divorced husbands, and you obviously couldn’t eat in the courtroom. you controlled the rumbles of you stomach and couldn’t wait to unlock your burgundy door. as you got home from work, bokuto was already on the couch.
“hey babe” he nonchalantly said.
“hi bubby”
as you walked over to the fridge, it was empty. you cried in agony.
“oooooh sorry i ate all of the leftovers”
your current state, was hangry. it was a clash of words to represent your current emotion. you snuck two middle fingers behind his head.
“i saw that,” he said while still looking at his game footage.
not having food in your system for longer than a day really upset you. so much so, you busted in tears out of frustration.
“literally all the places are closed at this hour, when i get home all i wanted was to ingest something, but you ate it all!” you sobbed.
“y/n, you’re blowing this out of proportion,”
“but i’m not! work has been so hard on me that i didn’t even have the opportunity to eat.”
“surely you had some sort of break, are you sure you’re not starving yourself again?” he laughed to himself.
your face was in shock.
Tumblr media
in high school, you had an eating disorder. you hated the way you looked compared to the thin girls in your class. do you know how hard it is to be a size 4 in japan? thus, led to many insecurities being built up. while not eating, you also exercised quite frequently. and with no nutrients in you, your stomach salvaged itself. soon enough, you were on your road to being a size 2. however, one day you pushed yourself really hard. the girls in class A were talking about your rolls when you sit down. just the thought of that morning made you run faster. until you started to get light headed and pass out.
as you woke up, you were on a bench with a really attractive man at the end of it. you realized that your legs were on top of his lap. quickly, you sat upright, only to feel dizzy again.
“here take this,” the handsome man offered water.
you downed the whole thing, with water dripping out of your mouth. you then took your sleeve and wiped your mouth. for a good five seconds you were calm... until you realized how unladylike you were being. you looked over at the man and he was laughing. like, full on laughing.
“what’s so funny?”
“n-nothing it’s j-just the girls around here do the opposite of what you just did,” he barely spoke, not being able to contain his laughter.
“fine then i guess it’s time to tell you that i’m a dude”
the mans face went straight.
“god, i’m obviously kidding... what’s your name?”
“bokuto, yours?”
“y/n”
you both shook hands.
“now tell me y/n, as an athlete i know the main reasons of someone passing out like that.”
“are you anemic?” he asked.
you shook your head. then his face softened. oh, maybe he is smart.
out of nowhere, you started to tear up.
“are you okay?”
why do people ask that? when they ask that i cry even more.
he was a stranger, so you might aswell vent to him.
“it’s just been so hard keeping up with this body. you know how many times i just wanted to eat? like a fuck ton of food? but i literally couldn’t. i was hungry, yet when i looked at a fry it reminded me of my bullies. it fucking sucks.” you finally sobbed out. you were holding it in for so long, if felt kind of free to let it out. you looked over at bokuto, and he just listened intently. like he actually cared about your well-being.
“if i may, could i help you with that?” he got up the bench and lent out a hand.
Tumblr media
and the rest was history. so when you heard those words out of bokuto’s mouth you instantly cried even more.
“obviously i’m not fucking starving myself.” you sharply stated.
“yeah no trust me y/n it’s pretty obvious that you’re not.”
the room was silent. did he just imply that i was fat?
“wait y/n-”
“have fun sleeping on the fucking couch” you slammed your shared bedroom door.
while it was closed, you immediately took off all your clothing. as you were just in your underwear, you grabbed your stomach. the fact that you could grab a handful of it, made you insecure again. like you were in high school. after a minute, you physically couldn’t look at yourself anymore. once your head hit the pillow you drifted off to sleep. having sleep for dinner feels oddly familiar.
when you slammed your door, bokuto had guilt written all over his face. he didn’t even understand why he said that. was he uncomfortable of how good his life was? and if that was the case, why did he have to jeopardize it this way? he finally realized that the life he had yesterday ago was pure happiness. he respected your wishes into sleeping on the couch that night. but, the next day he was going to make it all up to you.
as the sun just started to shine, he woke purposefully woke up early. hitting the farmers market to buy new ingredients for breakfast. his thoughts consisted of “y/n will like this” and “y/n loves these.” then, when he got home, he started cooking. whilst flipping the pancakes, he made sure to add extra love to it. he stacked the cakes with fresh berries on top, and a dazzle of “syrup goodness,” he likes to say.
as he knocks on the door and turns the knob, you weren’t there. his heart immediately dropped. he put down your breakfast on the dresser and his knees fell. crying for you. praying that you would come back.
his loud sniffles bothered you while you were shitting.
you yelled from the connected bathroom of your master, “BABE WHY ARE YOU CRYING”
silence.
you hear loud pattering running up to the bathroom and the door slammed open.
he quickly ran over to you and wrapped his arms around your head, “Y/N, MY DEAR Y/N, YOU’RE STILL HERE! MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED I AM SO SORRY THAT I SAID THAT I DIDNT MEAN IT, EVEN IF YOU WERE TO GET BIG THERE’D BE MORE TO LOVE AND YOU’D BE SQUIS-”
“okay that’s enough i get it.” you frowned.
“bo, this would be more romantic... if i currently wasn’t taking a shit, could you let go of me?”
“no.” he said, with the same face used when you guys met and told him you were a dude.
after you finished your business, you hopped in the shower, and so did he. never in your life have you seen someone so excited to shampoo your hair. while the conditioner soaked, you turned around facing him.
“so, i’m really okay the way i am?” you faintly whispered.
he shut you up with a passionate kiss. clearly annoyed that you would say that. first it was on your lips, slowly down your nape, then to your stomach.
you blushed at the fact that he skipped your boobs. or so you thought. out of nowhere he grips your right one with force and says “hey if i feed you enough, could i possibly make these bigger?” he smirked.
you rolled your eyes and got out. you could hear bokuto solemnly whining in the background. you truly loved this man. with all your heart.
