Anon: Can you do an insecurity imagine where y/n thinks they're ugly without makeup?


I hope this is okay xxoo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


It was hard enough to look at yourself in the mirror with no make-up on, but the idea of another person seeing you without it was horrifying.

No matter what, if your were going to a grocery store, bus stop or simply driving, you would always make sure to apply make-up. 


All over the internet, people post photo's of girls saying things about how they wear too much make-up and how there's no point, but what else can you do? How else can you change your looks if you dislike them? In your own eye's, you were more than unattractive... you were ugly. 


You had always lived with this disliking, and had easily hidden your face every day... that is, until now. You now stood in your bathroom after having a shower, now discovering you had forgotten to bring in your make-up. Why couldn't you just go into your room and get it? Because your best friend, who you happened to have strong feelings for, was sat on your bed waiting for you. 


You had been standing there for 10 minutes now, going through any option you could think of. Was there make-up anywhere else in the house? no. Could you call some one? no one. Maybe you could get dan to pass it through the door...


"uh... DAN?" you call out, receiving no reply


"DAN!?" still nothing in reply. He must have earphone in or something... 


If you had brought your phone you could have text or call him, but no. You had left your phone in the bedroom also. 

It was time to face the fact, there was no way to get the make-up down to you, so you would have to go to it. 


Slowly you opened the door, tip-toeing down the hall and peeking into your room. There Dan sat, laptop balanced on his legs as he sat in the oh so charming "browsing position". Well, it's now or never.. You moved quickly through the room, doing all you could to face away from Dan. 


"Took you long enough" he suddenly speaks up, casting you to jump slightly. 


"sorry, I've just got something else to do then I'll be back.." You explain


"What now? I want to show you this funny video, come here" he says. How do you get out of this? 


"In a minute, I just have to-" 


"How about now" Dan cuts you off with a cheeky voice, his arms wrapping around your body and pulling you towards your bed. Normally you would giggle at this behaviour and get butterflies from his arms being around you, however this time you only felt fear. 


As you fell down onto the bed, Dan's body followed so he lay beside you. He stares at your face and you can't help but feel sick to your stomach. He must be disgusted. You don't notice the tear rolling down your cheek until Dan's hand reaches you face to wipe it away with his thumb, panic filling his chocolate eyes. 


"Oh shit, y/n.. what wrong?" he questions, shuffling around so that he is sitting up. He swiftly pulls you over to his lap and holds you tight.


"what's wrong beautiful? please talk to me"  The word beautiful brings more tears to your eyes.


"Don't do that..." you say quietly


"Don't do what?" Dan's voice is filled with both confusion and worry


"Don't lie to me. Don't call me beautiful. I saw the way you looked at me when you noticed i had no make-up on. I'm ugly, i know that Dan so you don't need to lie." Dan's arms tense more and more around you as you speak. The room goes silent, only the sound of deep breaths and beating hearts to be heard. You feel a small drip land on your head, causing you to look up. The view surprises you, Dan's eyes shut with a clear stain of tears on his cheeks.


"Dan -"


"No y/n. You don't understand how hard it is to hear you say that... To hear the most beautiful girl you've ever known call herself ugly. The only one lying is you. You are so gorgeous... every time I see you I get butterflies in my stomach and my heart skips a beat. And the look you saw when i noticed you had no make-up was desire. You have never looked more beautiful than now, glowing in your natural beauty. 

God, you have no idea how much it hurts to hear the girl your in love with call herself such outrageous words."


What was happening? Did your hear him right? Did he just say he was in love with you?


"Dan... You lo-" 


Before you can complete your question, Dan's lips are softly placed on yours. His lips are slightly chapped and yours slightly salty from tears yet this is still the most amazingly perfect moment of your life. He tastes sweet like a berry champagne and the kiss is unexplainable. 

Your lips un-willingly separate as you both need air. Your foreheads rest against each other as Dan holds you closer than ever. 


"I love you too Dan" 


"Please... be my beautiful, kind, amazing girlfriend?"


"I'd love that"
