ย ย ย ย ย โ ย โโโย ย i kno azamuku was in the big ask but now im in my emotions and iโm genuinely curious as to how youโll write it PLEASE azamuku :weh:
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Heโs been biting his tongue, both figuratively and literally, for quite a while now. Heโs not sure how obvious it is how dedicated heโd become to avoiding making eye contact with the boy sitting before him for the past hour or so, but he hopes it can be masked as intense concentration as he works on the final touches for his makeup. Itโs not as if heโd ever been the talkative type to begin with, butย โฆย thereโs a stark different with him when it comes to being silent and feeling bashful. Itโs just that few can tell the difference. Not that his frustration is entirely washed away by those feelings. Getting fake eyelashes onto Muku had proven the most difficult part of this process since heโd been cast for this role : he blinked too much and got fidgety when he got too close to his eyes, butย โฆย if anything, it gave him an excuse to examine him when they were this close to one-another. Without being put under scrutiny for it, anyways.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย He really doesnโt want to get distracted by his own thoughts, but as he works between eyelash glue and a barely willing participant to get the first set of lashes on, he canโt help taking a moment to pause and look over the features of the boyย โฆย or, well, his boyfriend, he supposes. Yukiโs handiwork with the costumes was on point as always, butย โฆย he tries to ignore the heat rising in his face, taking in a breath before moving forward, afraid Muku would notice his pause and ruin his work by opening his eyes.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Like clockwork, he hears a quiet whine of disapproval as he finally manages to get the second set of lashes to lay finely along his eye. He lets out a sigh of his own, silently making it known that if he ruins themย again, heโs going to throw a fit. Or at least as much of one as someone like him is willing. That seems to work, at least, because the only remnants of his pout when he opens his eyes and looks up at him again is the frown he has on his lips. Sakisaka has always been dedicated to his craft, itโs not as if heโs surprised he wouldnโt actually put up a fight, butโฆ Azami freezes when he sees his face all the same, setting his jaw at the rush of butterflies that rush through his chest. Jesus, heโs beautiful.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย โย โฆย itโs not that bad,โย he murmurs, his voice nothing short of choked out from him. If his expression, for what little it was, didnโt give away that he was flustered, that sure did. Absently, he raises a finger to thumb at his nose, hoping to whateverโs out there that his cheeks arenโt actually pink, but judging by the somewhat hopeful gaze heโs met with, heโs almost certain his thoughts are onย โฆย full display. Pressing his lips together, he clears his throat and trips over himself as he moves to grab the hair extension resting beside his makeup station. Heโs never been so glad to step behind a person in his life, although they can still see each other by looking into the mirror. He avoids this problem by not doing that.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย โYouย โฆย make a good princess.โย His voice is still quiet as he starts working with his hair, hopeful he canโt feel his fingers shaking. Not that his voice isnโt.ย ย โMaybe you donโt want to hear that.โย Heโs always going on about being prince-like. Not that heโd ever say it aloud without combusting, but he doesnโt really think Muku has many limits in that area. Heโs never met someone so close to being out of a fairytaleย in his life. In the back of his mind, he knows even Sakyo would tease him for believing as much about someone.ย ย โBut youโฆโย His voice trails off, hands stilling with the extensions only half braided in. He stares down at them, where his hair meets the fake braid and he feels his confidence collapsing in on itself.ย ย โYouโre pretty, Muku.โ
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Heโs already inwardly kicking himself. Maybe he shouldโve said handsome or ethereal orย โย it doesnโt really matter now, right?ย He dares a glance up at the mirror and when he sees him staring back he starts to tense. Before he can say anything, Mukuโs hand reaches up behind him and loops around his neck, pulling him forward so that heโs leaning over him from behind the seat. Itโs a bit awkward, until he feels the other boyโs lips press against his nose. Every part of his body goes rigid, with him jerking himself away so quickly that he completely forgetsย about the extensions in hand.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย โWhโ-whโ!!โย His entire face feels like itโs on fireย when he catches himself from tumbling backwards entirely, just barely managing to regain his balance. Muku is already facing him turned awkwardly in the chair, fighting against Yukiโs lavish dress and his unfinished hair styling to clasp his hands together and apologize profusely, but even stillย thereโs an air of confidence there that hadnโt alwaysย been there before. Heโs not sorry at all!ย Azami keeps opening and closing his mouth, trying and failing miserablyย to find something to say, but instead halfhearted, humiliating noises are all that comes out of his mouth. Heโs not sure how long it stays like that, with Muku fighting between apologies and soft laughter while he attempts to find some form of competence, but it isย quite a while.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย โLe-โฆโย Azamiโs eyes tear up a bit : itโs made perfectly clear by his expression that heโs not upset, but he is embarrassed.ย ย โLewd!! Thatโs inappropriate!!โย With his voice humiliatingly higher than normal, he storms forward and rests his hands on Mukuโs shoulders, forcing him to sit forward once more so that he can hastily finish working on his extensions. Let him out of here!! Let him out!!ย ย โY-you canโt just stealโฆโย He finishes his work, although itโs certainly not his best, and steps back. For a moment, he glances up and sees that the boy in question seems to have become genuinely concerned, though. Maybe he is too reactiveโฆ Reaching a hand up to clutch against his chest, trying to remain oblivious to the fast beating of his own heart, he glances to the side, shyly.ย ย โS-sorry,โย he manages, his voice cracking.ย ย โIโm just embarrassed.โย That, at leastย โฆย seems to get him a fond smile in return.
