Chapter Text
1.
Evan watched as his mother struggled to put make-up on his sister, Elizabeth. The young woman had never been allowed to wear cosmetics before, so after some begging and pleading and an eventual yes, she wasn't able to contain herself.
Multiple brands laid on the small vanity, all different vibrant colors and shapes. They all looked appealing to Elizabeth, and to Evan as well.
" Aaand.. done! " Mrs. Afton exclaimed, closing the tube of lipstick she'd just used on her daughter. Elizabeth squealed and looked at herself in the mirror at multiple angles, all of them looking fun and gorgeous. " I look so, so pretty! Don't I, Evan?? ", Elizabeth asked, Evan nodding his head in agreement, making Elizabeth more hyped up than she'd been.
She'd gotten off the chair Mrs. Afton placed her on to do her make-up, running to the door. " I'm going to show Daddy and Mikey! ", were the last words she'd said as he instantly ran out of the room after standing on her tippy-toes to open the door. Mrs. Afton shouted for her to not smear her make-up everywhere, and sighed as she realized Elizabeth most likely didn't hear.
Then, just as she'd began to put everything away, a tiny voice peeped up.
" Mommy? "
Mrs. Afton turned to her right and met her eyes with Evan's big, bright blue eyes. She smiled warmly, " Yes, honey? ". Evan doubted asking his question for a quick second, before looking away out of embarrassment. " C-can I wear make-up too? ", was the quiet response Mrs. Afton got, shocking her. " Evan, sweetie, make-up is only for girls! ", she tried to explain, not wanting to upset her son.
" Oh.. okay. ", Evan responded with a pout, his eyes shaking as they threatened to pour out tears. Just knowing that those eyes were staring at her with sadness made Mrs. Afton's heart throb with guilt, pushing her to slowly change her decision of words.
She then sighed. " Well, I guess a little blush won't hurt? ". That made Evan perk up in the same excitement his sister had, his ecstatic movement making him want to thank his mom in more than 1000 ways possible. He ran up to his mom and hugged her tight. " Thank you, thank you, thank you! ", he kept repeating over and over again, Mrs. Afton already feeling exhausted again from his joy. " Okay, Evan! Now hurry and take a seat on the chair. ", she then said, Evan already letting go from her brace to hurry so he can get his make-up done.
Then, what turned into only applying blush eventually went to applying a full face of make-up.
