An assortment of powders, colors, and instruments la scattered out on the bathroom sink. Thomas and Newt looked at all the stuff with a curious eye while watching Brenda pick up different objects and use them with practiced ease. She watched their varying expressions in the mirror while she made up her face.

"You guys look like you want to try," she quipped as she brought her eyelash curler up to her eyes. Thomas squirmed as she worked the cruel looking thing but Newt leaned in curiously. "You could look drop dead beautiful if you would let me have a few minutes with you, Newt."

"Are you implying that he's not drop dead beautiful now?" Thomas objected. He wrapped a possessive arm around Newt's waist while sending a deadly glare to his friend. "He's more beautiful than you since he doesn't need all this crap on his face."

"That's a bit harsh, Tommy," Newt chided. He patted Thomas' arm lightly as he untangled himself from the tight embrace. "It'd be an interesting one-time thing to try." He plopped down on Brenda's chair and spun himself to face her with a grin.

"Oh, God, his will be an interesting adventure for sure," Thomas muttered under his breath. Brenda worked deftly with experienced fingers flying about Newt's face. She layered on the different products while peppering in what this or that was supposed to do. Eyeliner and mascara was carefully applied last and with a final 'ta-da', Brenda moved out of the way so Newt had a full view of himself in the mirror.

"Well, what do you think?" Brenda asked with a smirk. Newt beamed at his appearance while Thomas stared at him with his mouth agape.

"You have to go with me to buy all this stuff. Like, right now," Thomas said. Newt turned around to face him, his smile growing on his face. "I don't know how she managed to do it, but she indeed did wonders on you."

"Told you!" Brenda protested light heartedly. Newt shushed her with a swatting hand. Newt stood a little taller and brought his lips to Thomas' in a slight kiss. Make-up, Thomas thought, may not be the worst thing in the world afer all.
