Pairing: Mary MacDonald/Peter Pettigrew

xXx

What would mummy 'say'

if she saw you like this?

'Peter, do this,'

'Peter, do that.'

'Peter, tell me I look beautiful.'

You know what they say

"It's what's on the inside that counts."

But you don't believe them, really,

do you?

They all say the samething:

"Beauty is only skin-deep."

"Just be yourself"

But you are being yourself.

Your

w. o. n. d. e. r. f. u. l.

perfect

beautiful

self.

[and you must admit:]

Peter's definitely not the handsomest.

SO WHAT

if you have to pick up the slack.

You can do it,

You are beautiful enough for the both of you.

...

Is that why you're with Peter?

Because he tells you how beautiful you are?

No other guy has done that for you.

You don't spend an hour

applying make-up every day for nothing.

Peter understood you

{sometimes, when you didn't understand yourself}

...

so maybe you're shallow.

but all the best people are.

Really?

No. But that's what you tell yourself.

and you content yourself

by telling Peter what to do,

because he knows you.

he can see your heart.

Too bad you can't.

Would you want to?

your's is a cold heart.

too bad it's too late

to change now.
