Self care (Jeremy Dooley x Reader)
Aka Jeremy learns about skincare.
No warnings, all fluff and facemasks.
"What's this do?" Jeremy asks, holding up a small jar of one of your face masks. You take it off him and put it back with the others.
"It's a pink clay mask, makes my face look all nice. Stop messing with my potions." You tease, knowing full well he will not take you seriously when your face is covered in a charcoal mask.
"Do you really need all these? I mean-" He starts.
"If you are about to tell me I'm pretty with or without them, I will throw something at you."
"Alright, I will shut my mouth"
"They make me feel good okay?" You admit sheepishly. He breaks out in an adoring grin before leaning forward to kiss the side of your head, careful to avoid the face mask.
"Can I try one?" He asks after a moments pause. He grabs the charcoal one he watches you put on earlier and goes to open it.
"Woah, Woah, Woah. That's expensive and I don't want you wasting it by getting most of it in your beard, let me put it on"
He sits very still as you apply it to his face. He complains that it's cold which earns him a playful slap to the chest. He's watching you the whole time and it takes all your willpower not to kiss him right there. You sit back and admire your work.
"What now?" He questions. His hands raises up to touch his face but is swiftly caught by your own.
"You leave it alone and let it dry for 15ish minutes"
Exactly 8 minutes later Jeremy interrupted your reading with a loud, bored sigh. You glance at him practically lying on the floor, resisting the urge to laugh at him.
"Has it been 15 minutes yet?"
"Not quite. About 7 more" You answer and another groan erupts from him.
"Has time stopped moving? It feel like it's been an hour!" He whines. You chuckle and close your book, placing it to the side.
"Watch one of those Achievement hunter compilations you like, they're around 10 minutes right?" You suggest
"Phones dead" He mutters. You roll your eyes before getting up to wash your own mask off.
"Write a song or something, you've got 5 minutes" You shrug with a grin, walking past him to the bathroom. He jumps up and hovers at the door, watching you.
"First question, do you actually think I could write a song in 5 minutes? Second question, why do you get to wash yours off now and I'm stuck in purgatory for the next 100 years?"
"Answer 1, no. Answer 2, I put mine on first and don't be dramatic" You laughed while drying off your face and inspecting your skin in the mirror. Your happy with the results.
"It looks exactly the same"
"Which is absolutely beautiful" He recovers quickly. You smile and beckon him over to the mirror so he can see the hardened mask on him, you quickly snap a picture to send to Michael.
"Aw man I'm never gonna hear the end of that" He whines.
Later that week, on Off Topic, the picture came up. After a few minutes of Jeremy defending himself, Gavin asked if he thought it worked.
"Don't tell Y/N, but my face felt so nice and soft afterwards." Jeremy replied, rubbing his face. Michael texted you with 5 seconds.
Needless to say, Jeremy did a facemask with you at least once a week from then on.
