From time to time, Perrito wonders if make-up would look good on him, even though he already looks good without it. But he's also curious about how make-up feels. After all, he's a curious pup.
When Puss arrived at Mama Luna's, even at his lowest of low, he'll always put on his eyeliner every morning. Perrito saw him putting his eyeliner on one morning and thought it was a good opportunity to ask him if he can try, but there was always something in the back of Perrito's mind that prevents him from doing so. But, a few months later on their trip to Far Far Away, Perrito sees a window of opportunity to finally ask him.
It was around 5 in the morning when Puss woke up early than everyone on the ship and was getting himself ready for the day. Puss finished cleaning himself and went on his way to a table with a huge make-up kit both he and Kitty shared. He was halfway done with his eyeliner until a familiar voice is heard behind him. He turned around to see none other than the pup sitting behind him.
"Hey Puss"
"Oh morning Perrito, what's up?"
Perrito was a little hesitant to continue what he was going to say, and Puss took notice of that.
"Is there something bothering you, Perrito?"
"No no, it's that- uhm... can you like... put eyeliner on me, or make-up, if you'd like?"
"Oh yeah sure Perrito! Why were you sounding so hesitant at first though?"
"I was scared that you'd think it's silly putting make-up on me considering that I'm... well," He motioned both of his arms towards his own body, the implication rubbing Puss the wrong way.
"That you're a boy? There's nothing wrong with putting on make-up while being a boy Perrito." Puss chuckled a bit after that. Though he is right about what he said.
"I guess you're right, I just thought that it was silly since my family said so." His "family", of course. Puss knew that his family wasn't very kind to him when Perrito mentioned them during those few months, but he didn't expect them to be that bad.
"Oh you don't need them Perrito, you got me and Kitty. Team Friendship remember?"
"Yeah you're right, thanks Puss."
"No worries Perrito. Now, let me finish mine first then I'll put on whatever you like" Perrito smiled and nodded at him, he was very excited that he can finally try make-up on.
When Puss was done with his eyeliner, he lets Perrito sit on the table to make things easier for him. He picks up some tools and gets himself ready to do his make-up.
"Alright Perrito, I'm a bit rusty at this so bare with me. Been a while since I've last given someone make-up.." And for a while it was, the last time he did was a year ago when someone asked him for a favour.
It took them 15 minutes to finish Perrito's make-up. The make-up was fairly mild though since Puss is rusty after all, but Perrito wouldn't probably mind. He took a mirror from the table and hands it over to Perrito.
"Oh. My. God." Perrito softly spoke as he placed his paw to his mouth.
"It's bad I kn-"
"No it looks good Puss! I love it!" Perrito continued to look on all sides of his face, admiring how it looks pretty with the make-up on.
"Thank you so much Puss. I love it a lot" He lurched at the tomcat to hug him. It took Puss by surprise but he's genuinely heart-warmed that Perrito loves it. He hugged him back in reply. "No worries Perrito, any time"
They both hugged for a bit until they separated. That's when they heard a familiar voice of a tuxedo cat behind them. They look back to see Kitty watching them, smirking.
"Hey boys"
"Kitty? How long have you been watching us?"
"When you started putting on Perrito's make-up."
"Oh"
Perrito immediately runs up to Kitty to show her his new make-up. "Hey Kitty! What do you think about my make-up? I love it so much"~
"I must say it looks amazing on you Perrito, Puss did a really good job I'm not gonna lie." The compliment made Perrito chuckle, it does look good on him. "Thank you Kitty!"
"You're welcome, Perrito"
Puss got up from the table and walks up toward them. "I'm going to cook breakfast, what do you two want?"
"I'd like to have pancakes please!" Perrito looks back and wagged his tail.
"I'm probably just going to get coffee" As expected from Kitty, she rarely eats a meal in the morning.
"Righty"
Perrito slowly makes his exit to the rest of the ship. "I'm gonna do something for a bit."
"Alright see ya Perrito" And like that, Perrito walks off. Kitty smirks and slowly leans toward Puss. "You know, you should do make-up on me too from time to time, amor." Puss chuckles back in response. Can he give her make-up without making it look bad? Probably.
"I'll think about it."
They went on with their day later on. Nothing much has happened though. But Perrito did his tasks with his make-up, and he's really proud of it. Puss is also proud of it too, he did a really good job with his make-up. Perrito wore it until the sun went down and it was time for him to go to sleep. He went to take a short shower before heading to sleep, though. He's really sad to see the make-up go down the drain. But thankfully for him, he can ask Puss to give him make-up whenever he likes.
