This is just going to be a randomly updated companion to my story of Furry Ears and Fluffy Tails. Most of these won't have any particular order but, if one fits into a cretin timeline, I'll let you know.
Rating/warning may go up, we'll see.
I don't own One Piece. Just my characters and ideas.
Izo didn't know what to expect when Melisandra came to drag him down the hallway to her room. Really, that was a common state of being where Meli was concerned. Although if he did try to make a list, the sight that met his eyes when Melisandra opened her door wouldn't have been in the first one hundred, maybe more.
Melisandra had set out a few of his favorite kimonos, along with Meli's dresses. She had also brought most of Izo's makeup collection and the nail polish as well. Combs, brushes, and hair products covered her desk. In other words, everything you need to give yourself a beauty treatment was here.
The only thing that didn't add up was, why was Melisandra doing this. She wasn't one for getting dressed up, Izo had a hard time getting Meli into a dress. Never had she allowed him to apply makeup or do her hair. Just what was going on here?!
Melisandra knew that Izo would be lost, confused even, when he saw what she had done to her room. But, she had good reason to do this for Izo so, Meli told him. "Because you've been sad lately." As if that explained everything. It wasn't even dropping Izo a hint.
Though, Izo berated himself for letting anyone get an idea that he was unhappy about something, especially Meli. Still, it was hard to keep from wanting what or rather who Izo wanted. He was still uncertain about where he stood, afraid to find out if he could obtain more then wishes and yet, miserable where he stood, alone.
Izo tilted his head on one side, asking. "What does that have to do with all this?" Izu spread his arms, taking in all of the things that Melisandra had set up. Melisandra wrinkled her brow, to her, it was obvious but, she told him anyway. "Because you've been sad. I want to make you happy." Ah, typical Melisandra logic, he should have realized.
Izo smiled, he couldn't help himself. He may or may not ever have Thatch but, he would always have family. Izo picked up a brush, saying. "Thank you Meli, that was very sweet of you. Shall we get started."
Melisandra smiled, her plan had worked. She hated seeing any of her family upset. They spent most of the morning and part of the afternoon with Izo doing their hair, makeup, and so on.
Izo went full out on his geisha look, red lipstick, white face powder, eyeliner, lip liner, shimmering gray eyeshadow, hair up with flower clips, and red nail polish. To top it off, he chose his favorite dark blue kimono with silver trim and flowers adorning it.
If Izo looked the perfect geisha then, Melisandra looked like an exotic princess. Her hair had been brushed and treated until it shone, a few intricate braids and white ribbons were added. Izo went with a shimmering powder, to bring out her natural stripes and spots. Meli also had pink lipstick, eyeliner, silver eyeshadow, gold nail polish and just a hint of blush. To finish the look, Meli had on her orange spaghetti-string dress with the red flare.
They made quite the sight as the pair made their way to the deck. Everyone whose path they crossed, stopped what they were doing to watch them go by. One particular pair of eyes lingered on the fine form of the taller one.
