Prompt 18 - Fake
@jegulus-microfic July 18, Word count 325
Sirius had started his beauty course at the local college and James had pulled the short straw to help him practice. He sat down in the spiny chair and let Sirius get to work. He ended up with a full face of makeup, including fake eyelashes. He checked himself in the mirror. Sirius’s work was beautiful, but he definitely didn’t have the face for it. He was about to say as much when Regulus walked in.
“Excellent timing Reggie. James move, it’s Reggie’s turn.” James was shoved off the chair by an excited Sirius and ended up face-to-face with Regulus.
Regulus sucked his cheeks and pursed his lips as he tried not to laugh. Sirius dragged Regulus to the chair, and he sat perfectly still for Sirius to practice on.
James watched in awe as Sirius enhanced Regulus’s natural beauty. He looked good in makeup.
“So what do you think?” Sirius asked Regulus, holding the mirror up and blocking James’s view of the final look.
“I love the green and silver, is it shimmer?” Regulus asked. James could see the top of his head turning as he admired Sirius’s work.
"Yes it is," Sirius said as he put the mirror down and James got his first glance of Regulus with his finished makeup. His heart skipped a beat.
Regulus looked up at him from underneath his glued-on eyelashes and batted them gently.
“He did a good job, didn’t he?” Regulus said sweetly. James’s mouth went dry, and he couldn’t speak. He nodded his head. Regulus’s lips pulled up at one corner and he stood. As he left, he ran his hand over James’s chest, biting his lower lip seductively.
“Bye,” James told Sirius and chased after his boyfriend.
“No! This was for me to practise, not as a weird foreplay for you!” His words fell on deaf ears as James slammed their bedroom door shut and stared unabashed at the gorgeous man standing before him.
