What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction
"Do not touch!" Aunt May said as she wacked Pete's hand with a wooden spoon.
"Oooww!" he cried as he nursed his hand in his chest. 'That hurt!"
"Then don't touch the mashed potatoes." She simply said as she turned to the oven to check the chicken.
Their kitchen was a slightly scattered mess with various dishes. He had cleaned the dining room and it was set up rather very nicely and in the corner of the living room was a small but warm and cheerful Christmas tree, very brightly decorated like the room. Pete could tell Aunt May was excited to have people over. She had gone all out basically making a ten course meal. She thought it would be nice having a bigger than usual holiday for Pete. She was also curious of the new friends that Pete had and what he did with them.
Pete set up the fireplace with wood for later and looked out the window. It showed his snow covered neighborhood with children running outside, playing. He couldn't help but smile. He had snuck out earlier that morning to deal with Toad. He apparently was only stealing expensive jewelry to give to someone for Christmas. Spidey had merely webbed him up and told him if he hurried he would have time to hang a stocking in his new prison cell.
"Oh Pete look!" Aunt May cried.
He went back to the kitchen where she stood in front of the TV in the living room. She was pointing at the screen. 'Isn't that your friend Danny? I think I saw Harry pass by."
Pete looked curiously. It was a news cast rerunning the holiday charity ball that had happened the night before. A bunch of rich swanky people were obviously there as well as CEO's for the black tie event. The reporter was some perky blond. "And that was Nick Cannon and Mariah for you. Over there we just saw Norman Osborn with his son Harry. We have sighted many other artist here including Beyonce with Jay-Z, Shakira, JLo, Justin Bieber, Adele and also some hero's. Of course none other than Tony Stark our Invincible Iron Man along with fellow Avengers Dr. Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne."
The shot showed Tony grinning widely and winking at cameras as they took pictures with him and a small pixie looking lady who was in the arm of a dashing brown haired man who seemed rather bored.
Sam glanced at the TV as he passed the hall. There were others in the living room laughing and talking, buzzing with excitement. His aunts were in the kitchen and the kids playing. Some of the older ones helped or were watching the news.
"Don't you go to school with Harry Osborn?" his cousin Tess stopped him and asked.
He nodded. "Yeah, him and Danny."
She looked surprise. "Danny? As in Rand?"
He nodded. 'Yeah, we're friends."
"No way! Care to introduce me?' she smiled and gave him a playful nudge.
He laughed a little. "No, you'll scare them. Either way Danny is kinda taken."
"Aw man. So wow, really friends huh?"
'Yeah, where do you think I'm going?" he chuckled.
She seemed to notice for the first time the backpack he had slanged over his shoulder plus a duffle bag most likely for presents. Her face fell a little. "So you really won't be with us? I mean c'mon it's all of us together, Greg will be here in a few!"
"A family?" he raised an eyebrow.
She nodded earnestly. He may have reconsidered but he had already told the others. He gave a glance at the other cousins and aunts and uncles but he didn't really feel it. 'Na, I don't think so. Tell Greg hi."
'C'mon!" she practically whined.
He winced hoping his mom hadn't heard her. He knew if he saw her he would crumble and she would make a scene. She seemed to doubt him not being there and had said nothing more on their previous argument.
"No I, uh oh look, there's Danny!" he pointed to the screen of the TV as the news played. They turned to watch and once he knew she was fully distracted he slipped out to the snowy street.
"Also we have just seen the mysterious Daniel Rand, teen CEO of Rand Corp!" the reporter on TV smiled and the camera turned. 'And apparently he seems to be friends with rival's son Harry Osborn." It showed Danny and Harry talking and laughing with cups in their hands. They looked just like they were in school except for the fact that they were in tux. "Now this is a strange occurrence. But then again as they say this isn't about the rivalry or friendship but for the children.' She continued on till they went to a live shot.
Always, the next day after the ball most of the people go to the charity locations and personally give gifts and the checks. They were in front of a snowy hospital with children outside. These children were sick with different and various diseases but now were happy and playing in the snow. They had shiny bikes, toys, clothing, school supplies and other items. "Here in Children's Dreams Hospital we saw Mr. Hammer with both Daniel Rand and Tony Stark!" the shot showed Hammer smiling plastically to the cameras with his arms over Tony's and Danny's shoulders. Tony had a face that showed he was obviously uncomfortable but Danny kept a charming smile. Then it went back to the reporter. "Hammer made a very generous donation and express to the press he wished to do collaborate with both CEO's though they have made no comments yet. But with all that beside the children are out here having a blast with their families and the stars."
The camera panned to the side. Tony was sitting with some boys by some bikes showing and helping them construct. Danny was in a snowball fight with some of the younger children and seemed to be getting pulverized. The camera zoomed on him as he laughed.
"Look at that folks! Isn't that a sight to see? CEO sweetheart Danny Rand, and ladies!" she winked."I heard he's available! There will be more to come and maybe we'll see more of him this coming year!"
Ava rolled her eyes at the reporter. Mostly these people saw only the face and body and never deeper. She had walked in to her room from a personal training session and had turned the TV on in her room. She stood from her bed but looked at the screen as it showed Danny. His face was flushed from the cold but his eyes had a happy twinkle and currently looked a deep blue with green flecks. He was smiling as he got tackled by three kids and they began throwing snow. He gently broke from them and started running as they chased him.
She found herself grinning. He could be such a kid. But she loved that smile, how he showed those excited sparks. It excited her. She shook her head as if to clear it and grabbed her towel. After showering she was contemplating what to wear. She settled on a dark olive green dress that looked nice but also casual. She heard voice outside that confirmed that Sam had arrived.
She tried to curl her hair but gave up and settles on straightening it and putting half of it in a slightly messy bun. She picked out some warm boots to wear but wouldn't dress till she was done. She looked at her bathroom counter that had her mortal enemy. Make up.
She tried to put on the eyeliner but only ended poking her eye. She tried the blush but she looked like she was sun burn. She tried the lipstick but thought she looked like a clown. And the liquid eyeliner came out way to thick. She sighed as she wiped it off. There was a knock on her door.
"Come in." she called as she tossed on an overgrown t-shirt that went mid thigh. At least something to cover up with.
Danny walked in and froze slightly. 'Sorry are you getting ready?"
"Oh hey your back. And yeah but it's fine." She walked over and grinned. "Still very fashionable from last night I see." She teased.
He was in a very nice, and expensive suit. He slightly flushed. "Oh, yeah. Actually I was gonna ask . . . when I walked out Sam asked if I was ready and I said yeah. Then he started laughing. Am I over dressed?" His eyes looked at her like a pair of crystals.
She couldn't help but laugh a little. 'Yeah a little."
He frowned then held his arms wide. "Help?"
"Well for starters we're going to Pete's place so yeah. First loose the jacket." She said as she unbuttoned it and took it off. "This.' She took off the vest underneath. "Next untuck the shirt." She reached then realized what she had been doing. She blushed and took a step back. "Well, uh, you can, do that." He had a slight smirk as he untucked his blue button up that already had the top two buttons undone. "Okay now loose the slacks for some nice jeans and some semi nice sneakers and you're good.' She smiled.
"Are you going to help with that to?" he tried to keep a straight face but it broke into a crooked grin. The one that made her head spin.
Instead she gave his arm a light smack. "You've been hanging out with Sam too much.'
He laughed with her. After awhile he was looking intently at her face. "What's that?" he reached for her face and wiped the corner of her eye with his thumb.
'Oh, eyeliner." She shrugged trying to ignore the fact the area he touched suddenly felt flamed, like he had seared a path..
He looked at her quizzically.
"I was trying to put on make-up. Trying being the operative word."
He sighed and shook his head. "Why do girls insist on wearing make-up?"
She frowned turning to the mirror. "Well we care about our appearances. I mean some of us don't exactly like our face or do but want to make it look better. Like pimples or zits or your eye's aren't big enough or maybe you want redder lips. Some of us want fuller eyelashes. Others want a nice toned color. You do it to make yourself look more how you want."
"Which is beauty?"
She nodded a little slowly.
"Okay, I agree some but let me rephrase. Why would a girl who already has nice wide eyes, a good even skin that's a perfect tone and fine full eyelashes want to change herself more when she's just fine as she is?"
She blinked in surprise and turned back to him. "Huh?"
His face had a small kind smile but his eyes serious. "Ava. You look perfectly fine. You don't need to change your eyes or skin or whatever. You look beautiful just how you are. I don't see how you can even doubt that, everyone sees it. You don't need make-up" he pushed a lock of her hair behind her ear and touched the side of her face. "You look beautiful just how you are."
Ava was blushing deeply feeling put on the spot but flattered. She glanced up at him than back to the floor. "Thanks Danny."
His breath caught in his throat when she glanced up at him from under her eyelashes. It sent a pulse through him and he realized how close he had gotten to her. He could smell he exotic fragrance and realized his hand hadn't moved. He swallowed and took it back. "You're welcome. And, uh, thanks for the advice."
She grinned. "No problem."
He stood there for a moment absolutely torn. From two choices. Instead he quickly put his nose in her hair and gave her a quick peck on her forehead and before she could blink, he walked out her door.
