"Jesus Christ, your skin is so gross!"
Cindy's voice broke through Buggs' very relaxed state of laying his head in his girlfriend' lap, and was further disturbed when her hands grab either side of his face. Through half-lidded eyes, he can see her squint and get real close to his face, inspecting every blackhead and pimple that covered his face.
"You never noticed before?" his voice was a quiet chuckle. Of course he knew his skin was a little gross, but it wasn't exactly the top of his priorities.
"Not particularly…" Cindy's voice trailed off as her face scrunched up in disgust. "God, do you ever wash your face?"
"Like, in the shower," Buggs makes a motion with his shoulders that should be a shrug, but it was hard when he was lying down.
He flinches when Cindy takes a blackhead between her nails and starts to slowly push it out. He swats at her hand before it could be fully extracted.
"Ow! That fuckin' hurt!"
"Oh, don't be such a baby," Cindy rolls her eyes. "I do it to myself all the time, and I've seen videos where they get rid of much bigger blackheads!"
"Now you're being the gross one! I didn't know girls like that typ'a stuff!"
"Girls are, like, the main audience for those pimple popping videos!"
Buggs sighs, his words a grumble.
"Whatever! Still don't mean you can attack my face with your claws!"
Cindy gasps in offense, "they are not claws! They are my very expensive nails."
"Yeah, whatever," Buggs repeats, though he doesn't complain when Cindy cups his face again, her touch gentler this time.
"Let me do a face mask on you," she requests, but in that tone where Buggs knew he couldn't say no. "It's not gonna hurt, but it'll clean you up and stop me from picking at your face."
Buggs huffs beneath his breath, and Cindy could feel the warmth burning at his cheeks.
"That's, like… super gay."
"You like men," she says plainly, "I'm pretty sure you can handle doing a facemask."
Cindy pouts at Buggs, and she continues to pout until he sighs.
"Ugh, fine. Only cause then you're not gonna try 'n stab at my face anymore."
Cindy grins, "thank you! And you're gonna start washing your face regularly!"
"Whatever gets you off my back."
Buggs really did try to sound annoyed, but he was still leaning into Cindy's hands.
