@kindabitch : " stop moving! i'm gonna poke you in the eye if you don't stay still " she sticks out her tongue, attempts of brushing colorful dust upon his eyelid seem to not go as smoothly as she had imagined. still, Maddy's stubborness keeps her from giving up, no matter the exasperation bubbling in her timbre, she keeps her lips pursed, but her tone softens when she speaks again, " you're literally a kid. i promise it's gonna look bomb, but you gotta stay still."
❛ — but it tickles , the brush tickles ! ❜ he squirms in his seat, a laugh punctuating his duly noted complains. luke never once imagined he would be on the receiving end of maddy’s magic makeup brushes, the ones that somehow make her look more JAW - DROPPING than she already is, but he’ll jump at any chance he can get to have her focused on him. the truth is that he’s quite happy from his place wrapped around her finger. he harbors the assumption that she’s used to it ; to having a boy’s easily - breakable heart in her hands, and it would be an honor if she threw his on the ground and shattered it. BUT SHE HAS CHOSEN TO BE GENTLE WITH HIM , to have the kind of fun with him that rouses up genuine butterflies in his chest. every time her wrist brushes against the bridge of his nose, every time her brow furrows in concentration, every time she says his name in some kind of chastising way . . . he’s been infatuated with girls before, but something about this feels deeper.
he’s never wanted anything that was easy to achieve. she, compared to the girls that try to fling their bras slingshot - style at him after gigs, is no exception. but he doesn’t want her because she’s a challenge, because she’s some of conquest ; no, he wrinkles his nose at the thought of treating her like some award he’s destined to win because he’s talented enough, charming enough to do so. luke wants her because of the way her eyes light up when she does something she loves, MAKEUP INCLUDED, because of the way she softens ever - so - slightly when she speaks to him, like they’re disconnected from the rest of the world. moments like this are such a sweet escape.
❛ — are you gonna give me the little gems too ? yo, do you have any blue ones ? ❜ fuck, he thinks, he’s gonna look so hot. luke is not fragile in any way ( his muscles rock hard, same as his masculinity. ). in his opinion, any guy could benefit from a little eyeliner or something. that’s the good shit he plans to keep in his back pocket for a special gig or two. ❛ wait, blue won’t make my eyes pop. i got pretty green eyes, maddy, you gotta highlight them. ❜ big talk from the big kid currently kicking his heels together in an attempt not to bounce backward and mess up her work. the smile on luke’s face only grows wider the more he speaks, almost as if he’s trying to get her to scold him again. anything to hear that voice again. ❛ — we could sit here for hours, y’know, i’m never gonna look hotter than you. but that’s all good, i’m fine with second place. THIS TIME. ❜
