I feel like Lux would be the kind of person to "adopt" a super anxious introvert. Don't know how to describe what I'm thinking of other than like the average sorority girl or something looking at a trembling chihuahua of a person and going "New bestie! I'm going to dress you up and bring you places!" And idk I think that's kinda cute
oh gosh they would aka how I got any friends in highschool as an extremely shy introvert when I was younger
can be read as platonic or romantic!

- reader is very shy and anxious -
in my mind this is with a fellow object/dateable so I'll go off of it like that
to start: they didn't even really notice you at first, too busy with their own livestreams and things
it wasn't until you were talking with Phonecia that they even noticed you at all, quietly speaking to her and discussing a new show you were watching
Lux was already on their way over to talk with her - but got entirely distracted on their original purpose, immediately curious and noting your cute face and potential for a major glow up
came over, tutting and going "oh no no this won't do" while lightly pulling at your sleeves here and there that you were previously playing with the hem of "we'll have to get you onto my 17-step makeover plan, stat. then you'll be the second brightest thing in the house!"
Phonecia tried to intervene before Lux grabbed you by the arm and started briskly walking away
you merely waved her off, hoping to gently appease the person who is only now introducing themselves
Lux had heard whispers of you around the house from others, and was putting the pieces together as they were explaining their makeover process
Brought you straight to Barry and Amir, demanding a makeover and self-care day for you both
you couldn't explain why Lux had singled you out to work with, you can only assume it's because they didn't have a pre-established history with you
that and wanting to do a before and after video of legends, according to them
you can't lie though, you did feel a lot better and very attractive once they were done with their makeover
Amir spent a lot of time hyping you up, and Barry was so excited to find colours and styles that you enjoyed while apologizing for Lux being a bit brash
the theme song of all this is popular from wicked
after that, Lux began to keep popping up, insisting you try products that don't work with their skin tone or they have "too good of pores to use"
it was some backhanded compliments but they still said you looked great once they got you camera-ready
started showing up more and more, getting ready while in your presence (insisting it's because you're the only one quiet enough to not bother them but can still use you as a second set of eyes on the look)
then began dragging you around when they decided to grace the house with their presence
Lux is going to the breaker box? so are you! time to get ready!
Lux is gonna do a charity livestream for Mateo's inanimals? so are you!
always makes sure to still acknowledge you when you're out, to a lot of people's surprise
sometimes it manifests as ordering for you without your input, but they insist it's good for you in one way or another
only Lux is allowed to gently bully you, any one else even tried and they are instantly in that person's face and telling them to back off
Curt and Rod were the first victim of this, as they went a little too far with their jokes
Lux was instant to clap back with a "They're worth keeping around, unlike SOME other objects around here"
takes a bit of work to get in a word edge-wise, but when you do Lux listens attentively
if you mention someone's been picking on you? instant call out post and Lux sends their rabid fan base after them to cyber bully them
speaking of - because of your occasional appearances, you've become a fan favourite of the chat
