Work Text:
You were a tad bit nervous about this.
Somehow you managed to convince Abbacchio to do your makeup and he was even going to let you do his. You expected to be met with an annoying sigh or a negative response, but surprisingly he quietly agreed. After getting your makeup bag as well as couple of brushes, you settled in front of a mirror together, backs turned so that the results would be a surprise. Abbacchio himself didn’t have the same number of products as you did. For the most part he only used lipsticks, eye makeup being less comfortable during fights. His skin was in perfect condition, with a milky and soft complexion that almost made him glow under the right light.
You also didn’t wear much makeup on missions; however, you frequently tried new colours and styles as a hobby and a relaxation. Having never really put makeup on other people, you were nervous to try it out for the first time. Especially with Abbacchio.
Deciding to do just your eyes and lips, Abbacchio was the one to do your makeup first. He looked through your makeup bag for palettes, meticulously sorting through the selection of colours to create the perfect look. He settled on a combination of pink and purple accented with black mascara, eyeliner, and light pink lip gloss. He gently took your chin in one hand and told you to close your eyes. Gently dusting the brush with a pink tint, he started to apply it to the inner side of your eyelid, extending to the other side, and giving a gentle appearance to the start of the look. As he finished with the pink, he switched to purple, going to the corners of your eyes and then blending it with the pink, slowly turning it to a soft gradient. He leaned back to examine his work. Apparently satisfied with it, he took the eyeliner and proceeded to draw a slim line across your eyes to further emphasize the gentleness of your look. As a finishing touch he applied mascara and the lip gloss, his eyes lingering on your lips.
With the look being complete, he told you to turn to the mirror. Looking at your reflection you were amazed to see such elegant and cute makeup. You didn’t expect Abbacchio to choose a combination like this, but the result made you smile nonetheless. You quickly turned to your boyfriend. Not knowing how to contain your emotions you pulled him into a hug kissing his cheek. He stiffed a bit, not used to such expressive gestures coming from you.
“Abba, this is amazing! I love the colours you chose. And the lip gloss! It’s beautiful!” the same lip gloss you were now smearing across your boyfriend’s cheek. Not that he minded.
“Hm. Of course” he said nonchalantly yet put his arm around you. “I suppose it is your turn now. I look forward to seeing what you’ll do.” he added with a slight smirk on his face.
Now you were even more nervous, not wanting to screw things up. You decided on a black, dark purple, and gold trio accompanied by a black lipstick. You started off by gently applying purple eyeshadow across his eyes as a base colour, then blending it out evenly. Then adding a black eyeshadow at the outside corners of his eyes to make the look bolder blending the colours together to create an even transition. After applying the gold on the inner corners of Abbacchio’s eyes, you then finished up with a black mascara further bringing out his pretty eyes. Mirroring your boyfriend’s actions, you took his chin in your hand moving his head a little to apply black lipstick as a final touch. After finishing, you took a step back to look at your work. Abbacchio looked magnificent, purple and black suiting his strong features while the gold added a little bit of spark to his eyes, contrasting his usual gloomy nature. Smiling, you told him that you had finished so he could look in the mirror.
He turned to the mirror, silently looking at his reflection from different sides as you nervously stood behind him. You hoped he would at least like the colours you chose. Waiting anxiously, your eyes jumped back and forth between him and your hands. Finally, he spoke.
“I am impressed. You did a fine job, mia cara,” he stated, you blushing at the nickname.
“Really? Do you like it?” you asked impatiently. He simply nodded.
You let out a sigh of relief. “Ah, I am so glad. I was actually really nervous about you not liking it.”
“Well, I like it.’’ He answered simply, then quietly added, ‘’as well as your other works.’’
‘’Huh? I didn’t hear you, Leone~’’ you naively asked coming closer and teasing him a bit. You had heard the statement and couldn’t be happier knowing that he liked your makeup, but you couldn’t help messing with him a little bit.
‘’I am not repeating myself.’’
He turned his head away from you. You quietly hugged the man, not wanting to further embarrass him. Leone hugged you back, bringing you closer.
‘’I also really like when you wear different lipsticks, makes you even more beautiful,’’ you hummed, emboldened by his sweet attitude. Abbacchio, despite feeling a slight blush on his face, took your chin in his hand, lifting your head to look at him.
“Oh? Is that so?’’ he sweetly purred, smirking at now your blushing face.
‘’…yeah’’ you answered, trying to avoid his gaze due to the intense staring.
‘’What a coincidence. I also love seeing my lipstick on you…’’ he murmured, itching closer to your face.
‘’Leone..’’ is all you could whisper before he brought you closer and kissed you, smearing his black lipstick. You practically melted into his arms at the sign of such rare affection. He took notice of that, smirking into the kiss and pulling one arm through your hair, bringing you as close as it was possible.
Ending the kiss, Abbacchio quickly noted your flushed face, moving to your neck to plant multiple kisses along your clavicle.
‘’You know, I’d like to see a whole palette of lipsticks on you, cara…’’
