lots of purple and lots of glitter
Pairing: Â Darcy Lewis/Steve Rogers
For: Â @bloomsoftly
Prompt: Â #25. Â Fall Festival
Darcy plopped down on the stool in front of him and when Steve turned, he almost laughed aloud. Â "Aren't you a little old for this?" Â
She shrugged. Â "You're never too old for face painting, Rogers. Â Now, glitz me up good, I wanna be a fairy." Â
When she'd gotten him to volunteer for this job, he'd been a little wary, but all of these inner city kids were really having a blast at the fall festival Tony had set up. Â And apparently getting one's face painted by Captain America was super cool and really fun. Â
Even if most of it involved having to be still, which as far as Steve could recall, wasn't something kids generally liked. Â
He'd been ready to close up shop, most of the kids were on their way home and the clean up crews were starting. Â
But when Darcy appeared in front of him, setting her Stark tablet and headset on the table beside him, he wanted to stay there for as long as she was. Â And painting her face like a fairy certainly fulfilled that desire.
He wasn't really prepared for how intimate something as innocuous as face painting could be. Â There was a lot of him having to cradle her face. Â To stroke against her cheek. Â To gaze into her eyes. Â
Okay, so the last part wasn't really necessary, but it still happened. Â A lot. Â
"What kind of fairy are you, Darcy?" he asked, his hand hovering over the different paints. Â
"Whatever kind you think I am, Steve." Â
He wasn't sure if 'beautiful and funny' were fairy types, so he opted for lots of purple and lots of glitter. Â She seemed to like both. Â
