Just tagging these three, baaki kisiko lena hai toh bindaas lo. Any couple of your choice (homosexual couples are more than welcome, since we have very few stories about them) or you can write og characters.
Your prompt makes me think of the Marathi daily drama that I watch, Sundara Manamadhe Bharali. Latika is stout, and accustomed to insults all her life, while her neighbour Abhimanyu is athletic and teaches fitness. As they grew up, Abhimanyu resented being teased about Latika, and Latika ignored fitness because she associated it with body-shaming. Just as they were starting to talk to each other again, they were forced into marriage. After some time, Latika realized that her fatigue is unhealthy, and Abhimanyu trained her to exercise while clearly telling her that the goal is to build strength, not to lose weight.
After months of twists and turns, Abhimanyu declared his love too late, and Latika thought he was just trying to save face. After more months of people saying that Latika is heavy, who will remarry her, and handsome Abhimanyu can find a better girl, Abhimanyu stood on one foot all night in the rain outside Latika's house, and convinced Latika's big sister Surekha that his love is sincere. Then Abhimanyu and his friend Nandini contrived situations to excite Latika's jealousy, and it worked, but when Abhimanyu pretended to be ambushed and beaten almost to death, and Nandini, Vikas (Abhimanyu's best friend), and Ashutosh (Abhimanyu's big brother) were all urging Latika to say, "I love you" while she was listening for the ambulance, Latika caught on and slapped Abhimanyu.
Now, after Latika picked up the wagon-pole and finished Abhimanyu's race, she is finally ready to pick out clothes for him and take pride in his good looks. And when Kamini (Ashutosh's wife Hema's sister, who stalks Abhimanyu) tried to embarrass Latika by getting her drunk, Abhimanyu kept Latika alone, and she opened up about how she never expected companionship after 34 rejected marriage proposals, but he is the dearest joy of her life and she loves him totally.
Feel free to rewrite this story, anybody who wants to.
