Work Text:
X wanted to learn how to do makeup, but the friends he knew didn't know how to and the last one they could think of was his most recent friend, Two. They knocked on their room door and waited as he heard footsteps towards the door. When the door opened, it revealed the smiling green integer.
"Hello X!" they said with their usual grin.
"Hi Two!" the small variable replied. "Can I ask you something?" Two nodded and widened their door, inviting they inside.
"Is something bothering you, bud?" Two asked. X shook his head.
"No no," they said. "I wanted to ask if you could do my makeup?" he saw the other's eyes light when they said that.
"Of course!" they replied with excitement in their voice. "Let me just get my makeup bag and you can sit on my bed if you like!"
While Two went over the desk in the corner of the room, X made himself comfortable on Two's bed. X took a mental note to themself how soft their bed was and how the sun was perfectly angled to the spot on the bed he was sitting on. They could sit there forever. Two joined him on the bed with their makeup bag in hand.
"Okay so, where should we start?" Two pondered, looking at the other's face.
"How about we just do something light for now? Like maybe start around my eyes?" X suggested. The integer nodded and snapped the open the bag.
"Eyeliner or mascara?" they asked X. The yellow variable shrugged, not really knowing the difference. "How about we go for eyeliner?" suggested Two. X nodded and Two got to work.
As they added the eyeliner, the number and variable began chatting about recent shenanigans going around the hotel and whatnot. Two was glad to be hanging out with X like this. With both of their busy schedules and a certain blue number who isn't too fond of them, it was difficult to set a time to spend together. They placed the finishing touches on X's left eye and moved back a bit to see their work. He looked... nice with eyeliner on. Yeah, nice. There was totally no funny feeling in their chest.
"Looking good!" Two finally said, getting out of their thoughts.
"Really?" X asked with a happy tone. Dear math, was he cute.
"Definitely," Two replied. "Is there anything else you want to try?" X thought for a moment.
"Maybe... lipstick?" they finally said.
"Sure thing!" Two rummaged through the makeup bag again, pulling out a lipstick set. They skimmed through the various colors before choosing a glittery orange-yellow color.
"I think this one will suit you." they asked for X's hand, who was a little confused but still complied. Two popped open the cap to the lipstick and smeared a small amount on his hand. They smiled to themself when they saw that the color perfectly matched their yellow friend.
"What do you think?" they asked.
"I like it!" X answered. The integer nodded and started to carefully apply the lipstick on X. Once they finished, they asked him to rubbed his lips together and X did as so. His mini makeover was complete. Two couldn't help but linger their gaze on X longer than needed, making them blush a little.
"Two?" X gently shook Two's shoulder. "You're staring..." Two face flushed a bit more, feeling embarrassed.
"Are you okay? Your face looks warm."
"Never better, bud!" Two perked up. "Umm... do you want to see how you look?" X nodded and Two took him over to their vanity mirror. They smiled when they saw the expression on X's face.
"I look so pretty!" he piped in excitement and Two couldn't help but chuckle.
"Really glad you like it, X!"
"Thank you Two!" X gave them a hug which Two reciprocated. When the two parted X skipped his way to the door, saying he was going to show Four, thanked Two again and was gone.
Two went over to their bed to clean up and tried to contemplate what the heck just happened. They couldn't recall feeling like that to ANYONE before. At least they thought so. They never really paid attention to romantic stuff like that, but there was something about this time that was... different.
Two respected and admired X but now things that used to be not a big deal, stood out to Two a lot more. Like the way X smiles, the way he has this ability to be loved by everyone, his unmatched support and sweetness. Two couldn't figure out how they really about X but they knew it was definitely more than platonic. Maybe they could talk to Gaty about this later.
