Just The Way You Are
By Bruno Mars
A France One Shot
Oh her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like their shining. Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying. Shes so beautiful and I tell her everyday.
I let out a long sigh as I watched her take notes. The way her blonde curls fell into those emerald eyes, even if they were hidden behind glasses, made my heart melt. She looked up from her notebook and wrinkled her nose as she caught me staring at her. I waved to her "Bonjour Annabel~ Why do you always look so serious? If you only lightened up then your eyes could outshine any star in the night sky." I said leaning over the desk so I was closer to her.
She frowned at me and blew a stray curl out of her eyes. "I am serious Francis because there is work to be done. Just because you choose not to do said work does not mean that everyone has the same mind set as you. Thank god to because if they did this world would be in a very sad shape indeed." Annabel said in a posh tone before kicking my chair, which I had leaned on two legs to get closer to her, and sent me flying face first onto the floor.
I let out a small whine and I crawled underneath the table grabbing onto her legs and resting my head on her lap. "But mon cheire you always over work yourself! Why don't you lighten up and have some fun for once? I could take you to see a movie then over to my place for some nice wine and a home made meal, it would be a lovely evening." I said happily looking up at her with my best puppy dog eyes.
She sighed before standing up and letting my head hit the floor with a heavy 'thunk'. "Francis I know you mean well but I just … I cant do that okay. I have so much work to do if I want to keep this scholarship and stay in school. Your a great friend you really are but it is going to take more then you telling me I am beautiful, which is just flattery and I know it, if I want to get ahead in life. Good day Francis." Annabel said sadly before turning on her heeling and rushing out of the library with her books clutched to her chest.
"But I really do think you are beautiful my love ..." I sigh before picking myself up and slinking off to join my room mates for another night of drinking away my sorrows.
Yeah I know, I know when I compliment her she wont believe me. And its so, its so sad to think she don't see what I see. But every time she asks me 'do I look okay' Ill say …When I see your face there's not a thing that I would change cause your amazing just the way you are
"How in the world did I let you guys talk me into this." Annabel muttered as she adjusted her bow in front of the mirror for the millionth time. I felt so tempted to tell her that she didn't need to be so worried but she wouldn't believe me. She never did. "I mean me going out partying? I am nerd girl not party girl. Oh I cant do this, I am sorry just tell Gil and Toni I am sorry but..." she went on nervously and only stopped when I pulled her into a tight hug. Really she got so worked up over everything, it was cute but she stressed out to much.
"Relax my pretty one, you work so hard you deserve some time for yourself. Here I even got you a little present." I said trying not to blush as I pulled the black box out of my back pocket. She stared at it curiously until I opened it and revealed a sapphire and silver necklace, that perfectly matched her silver halter top and dark skinny jeans. Her eyes grew wide and I knew she was about to argue but before she could I placed it around her neck and turned her to look in the mirror. She looked absolutely stunning and it amazed me that she couldn't see how breathtakingly beautiful she really was.
"Oh Francis this is so beautiful. I have never actually had real jewelery before." she blushed turning her head this way and that watching the light glimmer on the gemstones. After a few minutes of looking at her self she spun around to face with a smile on her face. "So how do I look?" she asked doing a spin so I could see her from each angle. "Do I look okay or do you think I am to dressed up for a collage party?" she asked nervously playing with the necklace that was resting right above her cleavage.
I took her hands in mine and kissed them once, causing a small blush to paint her cheeks. "Annabel you are amazing just being you, now stop worrying and hurry up or else Gilbert will leave without us." I laughed and dragged her behind me as I pulled her down the stairs after me to my two partners in crime, along with some more of our friends, who were waiting for us in the common room.
And when you smile the whole world stops and stares for awhile, cause girl your amazing just the way you are
After a lot of protest dragging I finally emerged from the hallway to see Antonio trying to pull on Romano's curl, Ludwig explaining to Felli why he could not bring the cat, and Gilbert teasing a very angry Elizabeta as she was trying to adjust her boyfriends, Roderich, unruly hair. They all stopped though as soon as I walked into the room with Annabel. She was soon pulled aside by Elizabeta who was gushing over her new necklace and Felli who kept wanting to see if it was really her.
The scene warmed my heart as I watched Annabel smile sweetly at our friends as they gave her numerous compliments. "So is tonight going to be the night or what dude? Because I am not throwing this awesome party for us if you wimp out on me man." Gilbert said as he took his spot beside me, referring to the fact that my friends had made it their goal of tonight to get me and Annabel together. "Seriously you have become obsessed with her, you need to hit that and get on with your life." he said jerking his head in her direction.
"Ah Gilbert my fine amigo you do not understand, while your only goal in life is to hit and ditch as many girls as possible, our little Francis here as fallen under a love spell for our dear little Annabel." Antonio mused waving his arms out dramatically before pulling us both in for a forced hug. "Love is a beautiful thing though I myself enjoy the younger ones fu sososo." he laughed ruffling our hair before releasing us. "Seriously good like tonight though amigo that chica over there is something special." he added on a more serious note before walking over to join the crowd around Annabel.
I nodded and watched her for a few more seconds before going over to join my friends, hoping that whatever may happen tonight she would never change.
Her lips, her lips, id kiss them all day if she'd let me. Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think its so sexy. Shes so beautiful and I tell her everyday
I watched with a fluttering heart as her laps sang along with the music and her hips swung in rhythm to the tune next to mine. She was actually having fun and it was because of me, that very thought alone was turning me into a pile of mush (or what Arthur would cal food honhonhon~). "So it seems someone is coming out of the books and enjoying themselves." I teased as I gave her a small spin out before pulling her back to me.
She let out a small laugh before blushing, she hated her laugh but I found it a major turn on, "I guess I should thank you Francy Pants." she giggled and I smiled, sure I hated the nick name but she only used it when she in an extremely good mood so I let it slip. "So thank you for helping me come out of my shell a little bit, this is actually fun!" she cried just before the song stopped and we all applauded Alfred and his band. "Whew dancing wears me out, feel like buying me a drink?" she asked with a small smile.
I returned the smile and laid my arm over her shoulders as I guided her towards the bar. "Anything for the most beautiful girl in the room. And of course that is always going to be you Annabel." I said trying to sound sincere but only causing her to laugh some more at how corny it sounded. I couldn't help but laugh myself, what could I say that sexy laugh of hers was contagious. She ordered herself a soda and I did the same, not my usual party drink but I wanted to be sober for her tonight, before I took us over to small booth that was empty of any drunk party guest.
We sat in a comfortable silence for a bit and I watched as she sipped on her drink, watching the other guests with her steady green gaze, a happy light dancing in her eyes. "You know you Annabel you may think all I do is flatter you but … I really do think you are beautiful." I said leaning in close to her to make sure she could hear me. "The most beautiful girl I have had the pleasure to meet actually." I added in a seductive purr as I inched myself closer to her.
You know, you know, you know id never ask you to change. If perfects what your searching for then just stay the same. So don't even bother asking if you look okay because you know I'll say when I see you face, there's not a thing that I would change cause girl your amazing just the way you are.
I expected her to melt into me at this point but instead she laughed pushing me away gently. "Right, just because I got all dolled up? Stop playing me for a fool Francis I know that I am just some poor pathetic little book worm … your sweet for watching out for me but I am no where near perfect enough to be in the range of girl you date." Annabel said a bit sadly as she looked down at the table and stirred the straw that was in her drink.
I felt crushed, how could someone as wonderful as her really think so lowly of themselves? I placed my hand underneath her chin and forced her to look at me, I was tired of her hating herself. "Annabel you are beautiful because you are smart, kind, caring, loving, and pretty all at the same time. I have always dated girls based on looks alone but you, you are perfect the way you are. You didn't need any of these fancy clothes to make you beautiful you just had to be you because honestly I wouldn't change a thing about you." I said making her eyes meet mine for the first time in a long time.
Her eyes grew wide at my statement but before I knew it she had flung her arms around me and was hugging me close to her. I was caught off guard but wasted no time as I pulled her close to me, stroking her hair and muttering sweet nothing's in her ear. She finally pulled away and gave me a small smile "So do you really think I am beautiful?" she asked quietly turning a light shade of pink.
I laughed and cuffed her head in my hands gently "Your simply amazing." I replied before kissing her softly, allowing her to kiss back before I but more force and passion behind it. Soon I had one hand firmly around her waist and the other tangled in her long blonde curls. We finally pulled away and she gave a small smile a blush still dancing across her cheeks. "Like I said you are beautiful just the way you are." I whispered to her I placed a small kiss on her nose.
And when you smile the whole world stop and stares for a while cause girl your amazing just the way you are~
No sooner had I pulled away from kissing her nose did I notice the music had stopped and we both turned to see all out our friends grinning at us, a few of them snapping pictures. "Aw look at the happy couple. Probably off to go make some little smartie pants babies kesesese" Gilbert laughed as he came up to and snapped a picture. "Have to admit Francis you picked a hottie here." he added with a wink towards Annabel.
She started to turn a dangerous shade of red and she hid her face in my shoulder muttering something about wanting to go home. I laughed a little but picked her up and walked through the crowd of people glad to oblige my princess, and hope when she meant home she meant my apartment honhonhon~
A/N: Its funny how France can be both perverted and sweet at the same time XD so I picked this song for him because I could see him actually falling for a girl and saying all these things but she would never believe him because well … because hes him. Hope you enjoyed the story and continue to read my pretty little readers because next up will be our favorite fattie America3
