GENRES: Hurt/ Comfort

WORD COUNT: 697

SUMMARY: You tell Seox you want to buy a mask to hide your face, and he replies with something sincere.

"Say, Seox? If you don't mind me asking, where did you get your mask?" You suddenly ask the Eternal in the middle of your conversation, your fingers tracing the rim of your cup. "Or, if you'd prefer not to answer, do you have any recommendations on where I can get a nice mask for myself?"

Before he decides to answer you, Seox chooses to ask his own question. "Why?"

"Well, because I'm ugly," you tell him without missing a beat. "I don't really like my face, so I wanted to try wearing a mask to hide it." You answer him in a surprisingly even tone. Your expression carries a hint of melancholy, and Seox can see that you aren't lying to him or trying to come up with some kind of excuse.

"...You aren't ugly," he replies after a moment's pause, his voice unwavering.

"Huh?"

"You aren't ugly," Seox repeats himself, his words just as firm as before. He frowns behind his mask. "Why would you say such a thing?"

You casually shrug your shoulders. "Because it's the truth?"

Seox's frown deepens. He tries to think of something to say to try to cheer you up and get your thoughts away from such a negative mindset, but it's difficult. He doesn't know what he should say in these types of situations. These kinds of things are better suited for somebody more cheerful or wise like Seofon or Anre.

"I... don't think there's any reason for you to hide your face," Seox answers slowly, trying to choose his words carefully. "You... have a very pretty face," he continues, sounding extremely awkward and embarrassed.

You shoot him a look of disbelief at his compliment, and the erune sighs heavily. He presses on. "Your face... I'm sure the crew has already grown accustomed to seeing it. They would be saddened if you were to suddenly start hiding it."

"Would they?" You shoot back, sounding doubtful. "I think everybody would be much more relieved i I hid my face from view."

"There are people who like seeing you smile," Seox responds. "They would want to see your face and smile."

"Yeah? Like who?" You ask in a light and airy voice. Your tone of voice suggests that you aren't just doubting his words, but rather that you fully believe your own self-critical remarks to the point that you've normalized them as something similar to a joke.

Seox, however, takes your words seriously and doesn't think of them as a joke. "Me," he answers straightforwardly without an ounce of hesitation or uncertainty.

You falter.

"I like seeing you smile," the Eternal continues when you don't respond. "So... I would like it if you didn't hide your face." He then shakes his head, crossing his arms over his chest as if to hide his embarrassment. "I won't stop you if you insist on getting a mask for yourself, but... your smile is what keeps me going. I just want you to know that."
