Simba had always had a thing for wearing lipstick; he would show up to rehearsal with colors that varied from nude tones to bright neon colors. Reo supposed that the neon lipstick was purely to get a reaction out of people, him most of all.
So on monday, when Simba walked into their practice room with pretty, bright red lipstick on his lips, nobody was surprised.
As usual, Simba walked up to the person closest to him, which happened to be none other than Reo who was adjusting his microphone stand, swung his arm around the other and pressed a kiss to his cheek.
Reo smiled at the affectionate gesture, and as soon as Simba let go of him he went back to adjusting the microphone stand, which really didn't seem to be cooperating.
Simba then moved onto Noe and Thomas, pressing a kiss to their cheeks as well, before finally getting to his guitar and tuning it for the songs they would be practicing.
While playing the songs together Simba, realized that the lipstick he had put on didn't really leave any visible stains on his boyfriends' cheeks, which was a very big shame in his books.
On tuesday, Lumiere had decided to hang out in the city for the day and Simba had shown up with pretty pink lipstick, which immediately caught Noe's eyes.
Noe bounded right up to Simba, leaving Thomas and Reo to stand on their own, and started to point out how pretty he thought Simba's lipstick was.
"Ahaha~ thank you, Noe! Here," Simba said before leaning down to press a kiss to Noe's lips, effectively leaving behind some of the pink lipstick. It did look a little smudged and out of place, mostly because Noe was a bit smaller than he was, but Simba was happy to know that the lipstick he had picked out for the day stained well; he could definitely mark up his boyfriends this time around, and not to mention: Noe looked really good with the lipstick.
"Now we match!" Simba continued, Noe blinking once, twice, before getting what he was hinting at, which resulted in Noe finally pulling him to the rest of their little group where he greeted both of his other boyfriends with a kiss.
The pink looked a bit bright on Thomas's cheek because it contrasted with the darker color of his hair and the clothes he wore, while the pink fit right in with Reo's aesthetic, needless to say: Simba loved the look of lipstick on all three of his boyfriends.
They had a nice day out, despite the few stares they had gotten.
Really, though, how could those two or three stares do anything but increase Simba's mood, knowing that those few people knew that he was the one who had gotten lipstick on his three companions.
On wednesday they all ended up at Simba's place after rehearsal, which granted Simba some really, really nice opportunities. One of those opportunities was that he could plan out a tiny attack on Reo, and maybe on Thomas as well, but Reo had funnier reactions.
Thomas and Reo were sitting together on Simba's couch, Reo busy on his phone and Thomas resting his eyes, as Simba and Noe sat on the floor. Simba's eyes were focused on perfectly applying the faded blue lipstick to Noe's lips, Noe's eyes occasionally drifting to Simba's lips, which were covered with dark red lipstick.
Noe had worn lipstick before, he had worn all sorts of make-up, but there was still something about having it done by Simba that made his heart race and made him feel all giddy.
It wasn't long before Simba sat back to check his work on Noe's lips and then deemed it good. He held up a mirror, which Noe snatched right out of his hand to look at the lipstick properly.
Of course, Noe was absolutely delighted; the shade matched his hair and eyes perfectly.
Simba took one more second to happily and proudly look at Noe before he pulled him close and whispered something in his ear; that something being a plan he had come up with the day prior, when all of them were out in the city.
It was rather silly and way more of a simple action than an actual plan, but referring to it as a plan was cooler.
As soon as Noe heard about Simba's little plan he agreed to take part, happily indulging Simba's whims.
Simba and Noe both got up on the couch, which made it quite cramped, and pressed a kiss right onto both of Reo's cheeks, effectively leaving a lipstick stain on either one.
It had successfully caused their dear vocalist's face to flare up into a shade of pink, which resembled the shade of his hair.
Reo wanted to react but before he could do so, Thomas had already pressed his lips against the back of Reo's neck. When exactly Thomas had stopped resting his eyes was a mystery to all of them, but Simba and Noe were happy with his assistance in getting a reaction out of their dearest vocalist.
On thursday Simba decided to do Thomas and Reo's make-up as well after rehearsal, simply because he wanted to see them in more visible make-up again.
Neither one of them disagreed with the idea, they didn't have any reason to, and that's how they ended up at Simba's place again. Noe included, since he heard Simba propose the idea and he also really wanted to see Thomas and Reo in make-up again.
After blending in the foundation, putting on some concealer, blending it and adding some eyeshadow, some eyeliner and finally applying the lipstick, Simba proudly looked at his boyfriends.
They both looked stunning, as they always did, but Simba especially loved the way they looked when he got to do their make-up.
The color palette he had chosen for Thomas was based around darker red tones, which both contrasted and complimented his features.
For Reo he picked a lighter color palette with silver shades, he didn't really have any deep reason for it; both he and Noe liked it so that's what he went with, and it looked good on Reo!
Eventually, it got late and they all had to head home, except for Simba, who was already home.
Reo and Thomas walked Noe to the bus stop, kissed him good-bye and then walked off to their shared apartment together.
On friday Reo woke up to Thomas littering a plethora of kisses on his face and neck, which was a bit uncommon but most definitely not unwelcome at all, so he contentedly decided to just let Thomas do his thing, looping his arms around Thomas's neck with the smallest of smiles on his lips.
Being kissed by Thomas was nice, it was really nice, it made Reo go all soft.
After a bit, Thomas told him that he was gonna go and make breakfast, so Reo got up and out of bed, walked to the bathroom to freshen up and turned on the light.
As soon as he turned on the light and looked in the mirror he noticed some faint discoloration on his skin, he leaned closer to the mirror and figured that the discoloration was lipstick.
The color almost matched his skin tone, almost, so he only really saw it when he was really paying attention to it.
He should have expected Thomas to pull something like that, and he would do so in the future, but for the moment he could do not much more than smile fondly as he washed off most of the lipstick off of his face and neck, only leaving a couple marks visible.
He could tell that it was going to be a nice weekend.
