Aventurine decided to treat himself today, as per usual. But today was different, usually he would go buy himself expensive luxuries such as a new watch, new sunglasses, new chains to drape himself in or a new cologne in which he already had way too many. But of course in his consumer eyes nothing was ever too much. Especially money.
But recently he had been getting into makeup, not too extravagant but lightweight with a little pop to it. He had been having a taste towards eyeshadows and lip products, he loved how they each had a different texture on the lips. Some were creamy mattes that were bold and spicy, some were glazy in browns, reds and pinks. Some even had glitter in them and it didn't stop there. There was an endless bounty of lip products to choose from. And that's what he loved about them.
He hopped into a makeup shop he had recently been attending to, the staff were lovely with helping him find his foundation shade and eyeshadows. He took a while trying on the lipsticks, he preferred the nude ones compared to the bright reds and pinks but wasn't a big fan of how they dried up his lips. He moved onto the lipglosses in which upon the first glance he instantly fell inlove with them. The first one to peak his interest was a light salmon pink gloss with subtle shimmer in it. Even the packaging was enough to give good first impressions.
It was a spacious cylinder base with the most gorgeous sparkly lid adorned in light pink rhinestones which was instantly captured by the ceiling lights. He opened the gloss tube with a satisfying pop, the lipgloss glazed generously over his peachy lips giving it a juicy pink colour of life. It felt cooling with the sweet taste of grapefruit. The glitter within it gave it a special shimmer along with the shine from the light that reflected off his lips. It was noticeable but not over the top. It was perfect.
When aventurine got home Ratio was already in the living room treating himself to some tea. He looked up to see aventurine looking rather confident.
"I assume you've bought something again?"
Ratio sighed as if this was something not out of the normal. He didn't even look up from his book as he took another sip of his tea.
Aventurine giggled joyously and sits in front of the unfazed purple haired man.
"Does it suit me?" Aventurine asked making the other finally turn up to look at him. His silver glasses chain swayed a little as he did so. He looked at the blonde man with a bit of confusion.
"Does what suit you?"
"My lipgloss."
Ratio adjusted his glasses by the side a little as he furrowed his eyebrows looking down at his lips, that was new- but Ratio definitely loved it on him. But he dared not to admit that straight up. He only let out a nod and hum of approval as he placed down his cup on the saucer with a soft clink.
He took a while looking at his lips, longer than he realised. It topped his lips perfectly, the shade complimented his pale skin, the way the soft pink hit the light showing the subtle glitters within the gloss. It made his lips look...so kissable.
"It's nice." Ratio nodded again before returning to his book again. Aventurine pouted again, he hated it when he ignored him.
"It's nice? That's it?" He asked with his head tilted
"Surely there's something specific you like of this lipgloss. You were looking at my lips for a sure while doctor~" Aventurine teased poking at the others leg which was crossed over.
"Lipglosses are such sticky formulas, they easily wear off unlike lipsticks, and they come in such sheer shades. None of which would seem to please me. I don't like putting anything but soft balms and oils on my lips." He spoke in reply as if he had it all planned in that big brain of his.
Aventurine huffed and crosses his arms
"You're no fun." Aventurine was determined to change his mind.
"Well I'll have you know its not your typical cheap sticky lipgloss. I think It's a very pretty shade on me and would suit many people since its so basic yet noticeable." He leaned in a little with a smirk.
"Your lips and mine aren't that different. I think this shade would suit you wonderfully. It's grapefruit flavoured and feels refreshing on my lips. Why don't you have a little taste?~" The gamblers eyes turned playful and alluring. Ratio looked at him once again at his sudden behaviour change.
"I just said I don't like lipglosses."
"But have you ever tried them? Even once?"
Ratio sighs and gulps down the last of his tea. Unfortunately the blonde man had a point. He didn't say anything else.
"How would you know you don't like them if you've never tried it?" Aventurine continued to push him to his limits and it was working well.
"Come on~ you know you want to try some~ besides, it doesn't hurt to try~" He teased.
Ratio became very flustered at the idea but this weakness could at least support one view of his.
"Well I know for one thing that your lipgloss won't last long."
Aventurine chuckled. "Well its fine because I can always top on more."
Ratio smirked a little, his flustered face wasn't going to do him any justice. There was no use in going against the suggestion.
"Fine..." He sighed and took Aventurine hand yanking him onto his lap. Aventurine wrapped his arms around the others shoulders as he wrapped his arms around Aventurines waist.
"Such a shame your lipgloss is going to be smudged and ruined." Ratio teased before interlocking lips with Aventurine, the bitter tea exchanged with the sweet cooling taste of the grapefruit. Ratio pressed his lips against the others smearing the lipgloss onto his own lips in a messy manner. Ratio didn't dare take his lips off Aventurine. To his surprised no matter how hard he tried, the lipgloss never felt sticky as it smudged and transferred between the desperate two. It even felt pleasing as the coolness of the lipgloss melted into his lips. It was like a bittersweet drug.
Finally once they parted breathing heavily with red faces. The only thing Ratio could comment on was the sweet grapefruit flavour of the gloss. Aventurine was pleased to see the change of opinions from Ratio.
"If you want some, you're always free to ask me for some anytime~" He grinned with his faded lipgloss
