Not my best, pretty fluffy.
(Everyone say thank you to @datsgayyy , because this is not a ship I’d usually write about.)
Toni sat at the vanity as Shelby focused on her face. The blonde was working on her eyes and making the brunette flustered. Toni felt utterly stupid sitting down, eyes and mouth open, but she would do almost anything for the blonde. Seeing her smile had become few and far inbetween since the Southern Queen moved for college. Even after the stint in the wilderness and losing her mind, Shelby had still maintained her GPA. Toni had never seen Shelby in her pageant wear, almost expecting the blonde to put it on for her, but instead she suggested that Toni try it on. Exclaiming that she would be “The most beautiful thing on this side of the Mississippi.” Her mind might have been lost, but she never lost her corniness or want for ice breakers. Toni seeing her smile could not say yes fast enough, running to the vanity, and jumping in the chair.
“You’re making me into a pageant Queen babe?” Toni straightened out the dress that Shelby had helped her put on. A yellow number that almost made her look like Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Toni hated the feel of the fabric, but remained still as Shelby remained focused on doing her face.
Shelby was focusing on her eyes, almost losing herself in them. She knew that Toni would look beautiful, but was still in shock, her voice catching her throat as she tried to speak.
“Yes, a little bit. Doing this feels like a sin, because you would be the prettiest thing in the pageant.”
Shelby lifted Toni’s chin that fell down as she was speaking and stole a kiss, knowing she wouldn’t get any as soon as she gave Toni a bold lip. Reminding herself to do a lip liner and blend it into the bold lip, knowing that would look great on Toni. Actually Shelby couldn’t focus well at all, with Toni trying to get a look in the mirror.
“You, aye, if you don’t sit still…actually fuck it. Now you can’t move Missy.” Shelby straddled Toni’s lap. Toni grabbed at her waist pulling her in closer, a flustered look coming across both of their faces.
“Babe, are you trying to do my makeup or ruin it?” Toni asked, looking towards their bed which was looking more and more welcoming.
Shelby scooted closer, biting her lip at Toni’s words, and continued to do mascara on her bottom eyelids.
“You would love for me to toss you on that bed, wouldn’t you? Actually don’t answer that right now.” Shelby had just finished Toni’s eyes and grabbed the lip liner, focusing on her lips. “Oh, how I wish I would’ve kissed you again before doing this.” Shelby whispered, but Toni heard, giving her a kiss on her lips and two more for each cheek.
“Your wish is my command ma’am.” Toni tried her best at a Southern accent, it not coming out exactly correct.
Shelby chuckled, knowing that no matter how much time they’ve been together she would never get the Southern drawl, even with the practice sessions she has sneakily tried with Dot. It reminded Shelby that she should call the girls, just a little check in, since doing ice breakers over the phone are not the most fun.
A few minutes passed as Shelby finished up the makeup. The world seemed to go on a full pause. Toni was enamored by the blonde, diligently working in her lap, holding her up so she wouldn’t fall even as the fabric of the dress made Shelby slide off.
Shelby finished the makeup with a smile, slowly sliding off of Toni, to the other girls’ dismay. Shelby gave the brunette a quick kiss on the forehead.
“Aren’t you a prize for sore eyes.” Shelby responded looking up and down at Toni, while licking her lips. “I don’t think I would’ve made it through the pageant circuit if i saw you looking up at me like this.” Shelby grabbed Toni by the chin, going in for a kiss, but quickly backing up. “Sorry, I got to let you see yourself first, before I ruin the makeup.”
Shelby stepped out of the way and let Toni see herself in the mirror. The brunette’s jaw dropping at the sight.
“Shit babe, I look hot. Take a pic for the groupchat, I have a feeling Martie is going to love this. Actually Martie will, Fatin and Rach might give me a little hell for it. Oh, oh, reminder, we have a double date with Fatin and Leah for next week. Remember to put it on your calendar.”
Toni is still for a second while Shelby takes the picture. One of them with Shelby hugging the brunette with one arm and kissing her on the cheek, while the brunette is smiling at the vanity’s mirror.
“It’s already in my phone and on the calendar, but thanks for the extra reminder.” Shelby kisses Toni on the neck, then the collar bone, then the shoulder, and slowly goes down, slipping the brunette out of the dress.
Toni’s voice gets caught in her throat from her partner’s moves, not really able to say anything much.
“Fuck, babe, if I knew that seeing me in one of your old dresses would get you like this, oh fuck, I would’ve been slid one on.” Toni groans out.
Shelby doesn’t give a verbal reply, too busy putting her mouth to other uses. Until the phone rings, messages coming in from the group and a FaceTime call from Martha. Shelby hikes up the dress, pulling Toni’s garments to the side as the brunette has to keep a straight face for her best friend.
