Kabru x Gender Neutral Reader
Putting makeup on your boyfriend Kabru
It was a sunny day, the street smelled of bread and meat coming from the vendors that took up space along the road. You and Kabru were doing your biweekly shopping trip to get groceries and toiletries when one vendor caught your eye. It had a huge supply of handmade makeup products created from a variety of beetles, plants, and monsters alike. Your eyes lit up and you pulled on Kabru’s sleeve to stop him from walking any further.
“Look babe!” You said as you pointed towards a specific shade of dark red lipstick.
“Now wouldn’t that look gorgeous on you…?” Kabru chuckled out, secretly hoping that you would buy it. While you were going to buy it, you had other intentions.
“On me? I was hoping you would wear it…” you looked up at him with puppy dog eyes, praying that he wouldn’t refuse.
“Me?? Oh uh… well maybe… if you really want that…” he cupped his neck and looked away shyly, hiding his deep red blush from your prying eyes.
Before he could change his mind you quickly snatched up the lipstick and went to the till where you spotted an eyeliner that you also quickly grabbed and handed to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was an eccentric old man, gleaming at the both of you. “That’ll be one silver coin from the happy couple!”
You dug in your pocket and fetched a silver coin, handing it to the shopkeeper and praying he wouldn’t pry further on who was going to be wearing the makeup.
The shopkeeper took the coin and handed you a small bag with the makeup inside and sent you both on your way. You sighed in relief as you and Kabru both left the shop with tonight’s activities in your hand.
You walk into your house with Kabru trailing close behind. You both had been living together for a few months now and it’s started to feel natural taking up the same space as the other. You throw the makeup bag onto the counter for later, creating a slight thud that startled Kabru for a second.
You go about the rest of the day making dinner, eating it together, and then cleaning up around the house a little bit when you come across the bag from earlier once again.
You gasped, almost forgetting about your purchase and quickly grabbed the bag.
“Oh Kabru~” you walk into the bedroom where he’s currently sweeping the floor and he looks up at you, his face suddenly going red.
“O-oh yeah… do you uh still want to do that” you could see the small gleam of curious excitement behind his eyes but you won’t embarrass him any further.
“Let’s do it!! Get on the bed! Crisscross!” You yell at him excitedly. He quickly obeys and sits politely on the bed with his hands on his knees stiffly, eyes wide and ready.
You get on the bed on your knees and scoot closer to him until your legs are touching.
“Have you ever done this before?” You asked him.
“I should ask the same thing to you.” He said nervously, chuckling.
“You have nothing to worry about my love.”
You hold his jaw still with one hand while the other guides the lipstick towards his plush mouth.
He slightly parts his lips instinctively, he’s definitely done this before but you won’t pry any further… today at least.
The red lipstick makes it first smear again his dark skin, complimenting his natural lip colour beautifully.
You follow the shape of his cupid's bow, like two mountains and a valley in between. You have to hold back your sudden need to kiss him, that can wait until later.
After you’ve finished outlining his upper lip, you fill it in, you pull back and take a look at your boyfriend. The colour compliments the slight pink hue in the middle of his bottom lip, maybe a pink or brown lipstick will be on their next shopping list.
You remember you still have another lip to do when you notice him looking at you confused. You jump a bit and lean back in, your faces are so close, why does this feel more intimate than a kiss?
You start drawing on his lower lip, carefully covering it. Wishing that instead of the lipstick on his lips, it was your own flesh. Your hand slips from its shaking and how sweaty you’ve gotten, smudging the lipstick at the corner.
“Oh shit sorry” you lick your finger and start to clean up the smudge when Kabru wraps his hand around your wrist,
“Don’t worry about it, won’t it get messed up later anyways?” He says flirtatiously.
You cover your face with your hands as you turn beet red but he grabs your wrists one again, pulling your hands down from your face and kisses you lightly on the mouth.
As you both part, you stare back at him with love in your eyes, knowing that there is no doubt red lipstick over your lips now too.
He leans in for another kiss but you stop him,
“Uh-uh you’re not done yet playboy” You say, referring to the eyeliner that’s still in the bag.
You grab the eyeliner and look at Kabru for a second, thinking. A lightbulb appears above your head as you gasp and quickly go into you and Kabru’s shared bathroom.
You come back with a headband for washing your face, it was fluffy, soft, and had the motif of looking like a walking mushroom. You push his curly black hair out of his face using the headband, he cutely closes his eyes as you adjust it. Once your hands move away he peaks out with one eye “am I good?”
“The goodest” you reply, not even knowing if that’s a word but he smiles at you all the same.
You grab the eyeliner and get back to work now that his hair is out of his face. The eyeliner was a stick that smudged quite well.
“I’m gonna give you a Smokey eye type look” you declared.
“Okay…” Kabru said softly, intent on not moving an inch while you held an object near his eye. You chuckled at his cute stiffness.
You draw around his eye with the pitch blackness of the eyeliner, careful to not smudge it just yet. His warm brown skin gave off the telling heat of a blush as you held his face still with a hand resting against his cheek.
As you finish drawing on the eyeliner you bring your finger up to his eye, smudging the liner outwards. His nose scrunches cutely up as you push around his eye.
As you finally finish with his makeup look you pull back to get the full view of his beauty. He’s absolutely glowing. As the sun sets, rays of gold cascade across his golden skin, only making him look more ethereal. As you continue to stare he looks away nervously, snapping you out of your trance.
But all you can muster up is “Wow, you are so gorgeous.”
“Paint a picture won’t ya?” He says abashedly.
“You are my muse.” You reply, and although it may sound like a joke, you mean it from the bottom of your heart.
He smiles widely at you, grabbing your face and bringing you in for another kiss. You feel the wetness of the lipstick as it no doubt smudges across your lips, but you never pull away, wanting to stay in this moment forever.
