☆ the rough days feel a little better with you

ignis scientia x ftm reader [he / him]

sypnosis: [name] has been going through dysphoria, he doesn't like the way he looks - he doesn't feel 'man enough.' luckily, ignis is there to save the day. (can be viewed as romantic or platonic)

the lowercase is intentional !

the dysphoria was hard today. it was getting to a point where it was too much to cope with. you felt a pain surging throughout your whole body.

you didn't feel like a real man. you felt like you were a little girl playing dress up. you felt as if you were pretending, that you were doing this to fit in. that's what your dysphoria was telling you. it was making you feel like shit.

you couldn't get out of bed. all you could do was stay curled up in a ball, whilst you cried on the bed. you wished someone could come help you. that someone would come comfort you and reassure you. that someone would make all of your worries wash away.

suddenly, you were pulled out by your thoughts due to your phone ringing. it was ignis calling. a small smile crept on your face as you quickly wiped away your tears.

"hello?" you answered, your voice a little croaky from crying. "[name], i'm glad you picked up." ignis spoke. on the other side of the line, ignis heard how your voice sounded. he already assumed the worse, that you were having a bad day.

"are you alright?" he asked, his voice already soothing your worries and easing your pain. "no.. can you please come over?" you started to tear up and sniffle again. you couldn't bear this pain any longer. ignis nodded to himself, even if you wouldn't be able to see it. "of course, i'll be right over." ignis responded, feeling pained once he heard your sniffles. he wanted to make sure you were alright.

ignis rushed over to your place. he unlocked the door with the key you provided him many months ago. he heard your crying so he cautiously made his way up to your room.

ignis' face dropped immediately once he saw your state. dishevelled hair, bloodshot and teary eyes. he walked over and kneeled by your side, taking one of your hands in his gently stroking it. "it's alright, [name]. i'm here now." ignis spoke softly. "what's a handsome man like you doing so upset?" he knew what was wrong, but he wanted to reassure you by calling you a man - your true identity.

you didn't reply to him, you continued sniffling and crying as he stroked your hand. "you're a really handsome man, i hope you know that [name]. i think you're best looking man i've ever seen." ignis smiled slightly, even if there was sadness in his eyes. he hated seeing you like this. he wanted to be the one to make sure you were alright.

your eyes glimmer as you hear his words, you tilt your head at him smile slightly. "ignis.." you whisper out, not knowing how to finish your sentence. he hushed you, not wanting you to pain yourself any further. "what if i cook you something to eat?" he hummed with a smile. ignis' speciality was cooking, and he knew you loved his cooking. he knew it made you feel better.

your eyes go wide once you hear the words he utters. you immediately nod. "yes.. yes please.." you speak with a hoarse voice. ignis smiles and ruffles your hair. "of course, i'll make my favourite man his favourite dish." you pull him in closer and breathe in his scent. "thank you, iggy.." you whisper.

even though ignis didn't say much, you still felt better. his reassurances of your identity, him holding your hand, him offering to cook you food and even just ignis in general made you feel better. you were glad he was there.

he lead you to the kitchen and started to cook you some food with the ingredients you had available. you still felt a little dysphoric, but ignis helped. even if it was a little bit.

soon enough, your place was flooded with the scent of ignis' cooking. it smelt so good, like always. you started to smile a little more. you were so happy you had someone like ignis in your life.

ignis then plated the food for you, snapping you out of your trance. "enjoy. i hope it's to your liking." he hummed, taking a seat next to you. you immediately start eating, engulfing the food in no time.

you looked at ignis, feeling better from the food he cooked. "thank you, iggy. the rough days always feel a little better with you.." you whisper.
