Frillve the Fool

IMAGE 1:

Shoujo manga-style Halbarry yuri fancomic cover, titled Blush. Hal is leaning in to apply blush on Berry’s face, bringing her in closer by the chin. Berry is blushing, eyes wide in awe. Hal’s eyes are on Berry’s cheek to apply the blush, but Berry is focused on Hal.

Appearance-wise, Hal is growing out her hair, wearing stud earrings, a long-sleeved shirt that’s pulled up right below the elbows, and a discrete version of the power ring. Berry has a crewcut, wearing a sweater over a button-down shirt, collar sitting on top of the neckline.

The cover is in pink monochrome against a white background, lighting them up in an ambient glow.

[fancomic in grayscale]

Hal: [grimacing at makeup utensils in her hands] I’m way out of my depth here. (note: learning how to use makeup)

Berry: [leaning over] I wish I could give you advice, but I’ve never worn makeup before.

Hal: [turning towards Berry, incredulous] NEVER? In your entire life?

Berry: [sheepishly] No? I never felt the need to.

Hal: [tilting head, smiling thoughtfully] Hmm… I think you can still help.

Hal: [off-screen] I could use a blank slate to practice on.

Berry: [wide-eyed expression, pink lightning bolt blush] ?

[both kneeling on floor, makeup beside them]

Hal: [isolated panel] Stop moving. [applying mascara onto Berry, annoyed] I don’t want to waste product because you can’t hold still.

Berry: [squeezing eyes shut, gritting teeth] I told you, I’m not used to this kind of thing.

Hal: [putting mascara away] Yeah, well, depending on how this goes, you’re gonna have to.

IMAGE 4:

Hal: [powdering blush applicator] Let’s just do blush. Should be easier.

Berry: [watching application, unassuming] Okay.

Hal: [tucking a finger under Berry’s chin] Now hold still.

Berry: [looking up at Hal in sudden surprise, slightly blushing pink]

Hal: [casual but focused, leaning in to apply blush, bringing Berry in closer by the chin]

Berry: [blush deepening, eyes wide in awe, focused on Hal]

[parallel panels of back-to-back closeups, first Berry, then Hal]

Berry: [blushing hard, pink blooming across her cheeks to her ears, looking back in awe with glowing shines and lightning bolts in her eyes as Hal holds her chin in one hand and the applicator in the other]

Hal: [taken aback, faintly blushing pink, applicator hand breaching the 4th wall of the panel but halting in surprise]

[soft bubble lights background]

IMAGE 6:

Hal: [leaning back on hand, head tilted, soft amused smile] Y’know… I don’t think you need blush after all.

Berry: [subconsciously leaning forward, starry-eyed and still deeply blushing pink] Huh? Why?

[pink bubble lights fading into a darker background]

[bonus page, both looking in mirror]

Berry: [wearing makeup, smiling awkwardly, sweat drop, rubbing back of neck] I think it looks better on you. (note: feels like crossdressing in makeup)
