Highlight
So I just recently discovered Ruben (shoutout to tumblr for making me catch feelings for yet another unattainable man🙃) and now I’m hooked lol. This is a quick idea I had and hope you guys like it! I also hope y’all don’t mind me adding another face to the list of people I write for 😂
Pairing: Ruben Loftus-CheekxBlack Reader
⚠️: None💕!
You knew this was a bad idea.
The moment the suggestion came out of his mouth, you were already picturing everything that could, and would probably, go wrong. But with both of you being bored and itching for some sort of new entertainment, here you sat really regretting your most recent life choice.
“Babe calm down, I promise to be careful,” Ruben smiles kissing your cheek.
“I know you will, but please please PLEASE do not dig into the eyeshadows and make them break, that’s all I’m asking. Oh, and that you don’t blind me.”
“Again I promise and if I mess anything up, I’ll replace it,” he laughs.
Looking at all your supplies lying on the table, he rubs his hands together trying to figure out where to begin.
“Need some help?,” you ask with a soft laugh watching him pick up everything and read the labels.
“I got this ok? I’ve seen you do your makeup and watched enough tutorials with you to know what to do. I’m just looking to see what looks familiar.”
“You’ve watched me once and saw like three videos. Now you’re a makeup artist?”
“...I’m a fast learner,” he chuckles slightly angling your face so he can see better. “Ok so first we start with this spray.”
“Mhmm, right.”
“And it says don’t spray it directly so let me just..,” he reads before extending his arm outward to mist your face. “Ok does your face feel wet? It looks wet to me.”
“Yes,” you giggle with one eye open.
“Next is um...foundation?”
“I thought you were the professional?,” you smirk fanning your face to make your primer dry quicker.
“I am, I uh just wanted to see if you were paying attention,” he winks making you roll your eyes.
Looking back and forth between the brushes and sponges, you already know what he’s about to ask. “With that foundation, I use a brush and when you get to concealer that’s when I use the sponge.”
“Right, I was about to go for the brushes.”
“Yea sure you were.”
“I feel like you have no faith in me,” he smirks, arms crossed in front of his chest.
“No, I have faith in you.”
“Then let your man work his magic yeah?,” he smiles leaning in to kiss your lips.
Gently applying your foundation, he takes his time making sure to get all the areas of your face. Lips slightly pursed in concentration like a painter making sure to carefully paint the correct spots of his work. Watching him try to be perfect made you giggle as you mentally awed at how adorable he was.
“What?,” he asks, placing the brush down before looking over your face to make sure he was truly done.
“Nothing, you’re just so cute.”
“I mean, I try,” he responds brushing off his shoulder instantly making you wish you never said anything.
“Aye, watch out for that big head,” you laugh lightly poking his temple and making him chuckle.
After a while longer of Ruben filtering through your various products, he places your lip gloss down and backs away as he gives you a once over. Smiling, he shimmies his shoulders letting out his signature “yeesh!” as he pulls his phone out.
“Babes I did really good! You’re gonna be proud.”
“Ok on a level one to ten, how good?”
“I’d say a 7. I’m telling you, you’ll be impressed!”
Walking to the mirror across the room, Ruben follows close behind holding up his phone to catch your reaction.
“So what do you think? Did your man come through?!”
“Woww you did good babe! I’m proud of you!”
Although it wasn’t perfect and needed some work with the blending and your lashes not being fully secured, he did better than you expected!
“Ok I see you professional makeup artist!,” you smile, pretending to clap your hands giving him his props. “Alright you know what this means right?”
“Umm you want me to do your makeup now..?”
“No, now I get to put makeup on you!”
“Yeahh nah I’m good,” he laughs, moving to end the video, but not without you first grabbing it out of his hand and facing it towards you,
“Hey guys if you think it’s Ruben’s turn to get his makeup done comment on this video saying that.”
“Nope not gonna happen, don’t comment!,” he laughs moving so his phone stays out of reach from your grasping hands.
“Ok then I either do your makeup or cut your hair. Which one?,” you smirk, hands on your hips as he stops as if thinking about which he’d rather do.
“Fine you can do my face, but you gotta catch me!”
Doing his best maniacal laugh, he runs out of the room and following the sound of his bounding footsteps, down the stairs.
“Hey no fair you know I can’t run that fast!,” you call after him, trying your best to catch up to the footballer.
