Marla, though blushing furiously, pretended to tap her nose in thought. "Hmm…. cuddling together under a blanket until we fall asleep?"

“You drive a hard bargain, but I guess I can manage.” Gwen’s face flushed just as bright. She handed Marla her bag of makeup. “Go wild, I trust you.”

“That’s your first mistake,” Marla teased, pulling out a small container of primer.

Gwen watched her, quirking her eyebrow up in amusement. “The real problem will be getting me to sit still for that long.”

“Hey, if you don’t sit still, I get to tease you as much as I want.” Macha wiggled her eyebrows before she burst out laughing. “Just think— you won’t be allowed to kiss me properly until I’ve driven you absolutely insane.”

“I’m already crazy for you though!” Gwen giggled at her own cheesy pickup line.

“Oh, so you don’t want me to kiss you breathless?” Marla has absolutely no idea where all this bravado was coming from, but she was greatly enjoying it. She grinned, finishing up with Gwen’s foundation. “Because that could be arranged.

Gwen’s face turned a deep maroon shade of red. She stared at Marla, wide eyed and unable to speak for a moment.

Flashing uncharacteristically flirty grin, Marla dabbed some highlight onto her fingertips. “I suggest you stay still.”

Gwen forced herself to sit still, holding back the urge to cover her face with her hands.

“There we go…” she murmured to herself, carefully dusting the shimmery rose gold powder over where the tip of Gwen’s nose and cheekbones caught the light.

Gwen remained still and quiet. How did she get so confident all of a sudden? She wondered, marveling at change in Marla’s behavior.

(Ugh I’m sorry at how inconsistent I’m being with Marla…. I’ll fix things I promise
G’morning
How’re you?)

Giving Gwen a bit of shimmery eyeshadow and subtle eyeliner was easy enough, as was applying mascara. It was only when it was time to apply the lipstick that Marla’s sudden confidence faltered.

(Oml dont apologize! It’s super entertaining XD! I’m doing alright! How’re you this afternoon?)

Gwen took advantage of Marla’s hesitation, grinning. “Having trouble, Princess?”

(If you’re sure oof
I literally just woke up
Not great
You?)

Marla had some trouble mustering another uncharacteristically flirtatious grin, so she settled for an enigmatic smile and carefully propped Gwen’s chin up on her finger. “No taking while I’m putting on lipstick..”

(Writing essays again, feels like that’s all I do these days! I’m just hoping my teachers will give me a break at some point)

Gwen wrinkled her nose in playful defiance, but pursed her lips anyways after a moment.

(Oh no, don’t overwork yourself!)

“Thank you.” Marla took her sweet time, her thumb pressed against the corner of Gwen’s lips. When she was finally done, she pulled away, blushing faintly.

Gwen pouted when Marla pulled away, proceeding to smack her lips and make a pop noise. “I feel gorgeous already.”

(I’ll try!)

Marla studied Gwen’s face, quickly tweaking a few things. “I’m all done.. want to see now?”

“Of course I do!” Gwen broke into a smile, eagerly taking out her phone. She peered at herself in her camera. “No, no way. This isn’t me.” She whispered, her jaw dropping. Gwen gently grazed her cheek with her hand in disbelief.

Marla flushed pink, anxiously biting the inside of her cheek. “Is it okay? Do you like it?”

“Do I like it? Marla, I look like I’m about the walk the red carpet!” Gwen exclaimed, grinning widely. “This is— no, you are incredible.”

Marla averted her eyes, extremely flustered about the whole situation. “It is? I am?”

“Absolutely.” Gwen beamed, giving Marla an awed look.

“Would it— would it be narcissistic to say that you look amazing right now?” she asked shyly, wringing her hands in her lap.
