Inspired by: Honey and Tadashi going to an event that requires formal attire.
"Aaaaand…there! All done!" Honey said, backing up so that Gogo could look at herself in the mirror. "See? All I did was add a bit of a dark plum to the crease of your eyes! It's not too much, right?" she asked hopefully.
Goga gave a so-so look. "Not bad. Good job, Hon."
"Wait, lemme see-" Wasabi's date, Analyssa, cut in. "Oh, wow, it looks great! Could you do my eyeshadow, too?" she asked Honey sweetly.
Honey smiled widely. "Sure thing!" Honey and Gogo had gone to Honey's house to get ready for the Gala. Gogo still wasn't all that excited, but she'd agreed to let Honey do a tiny bit of makeup. They'd let Analyssa join them after they met her and decided that she was definitely going with them in their group.
An hour later, after fighting with Gogo over the curling iron, the girls were ready. Gogo's short hair was curled in a 1920's style, and her knee-length dress was a deep purple color. Analyssa also looked wonderful, her chocolate brown hair twirled and pinned in an elaborate hairdo. Her long, straight dress was a baby pink, and she'd donned a white pashmina that matched her eyeshadow to drape elegantly in her arms.
Honey Lemon, however…
"…" Tadashi stood there at her front door, mouth open but saying no words.
"You look great, Honey Lemon!" Fred exclaimed, looking just a bit silly with his hair gelled back. Wasabi smiled and nodded in agreement.
Honey smiled. "Aww, you guys are too sweet! You should see your dates-"
"Fred and I aren't a date!" Gogo called from inside the house. They all chuckled, except for Tadashi, who was still standing there stock still. Honey waved Fred and Wasabi inside the house to see the girls, and then looked at Tadashi with concern.
She tilted her head to the side. "Tadashi, are you alright?" she asked, tapping his nose.
He snapped out of whatever coma he'd been put in and stuttered (he'd been doing that a lot lately). "U-Uh, yeah! Fine! Just fine!" he said quickly. "I just…you, um…" he swallowed. "You look…lovely," he said, a soft smile forming on his face.
Honey blushed, tucking a curled piece of hair behind her ear. She fiddled with her vintage-inspired, honey gold, floor length dress, suddenly feeling just a tiny bit insecure. She flicked her greens eyes back up to him, cream-and-honey eyeshadow making the green seem greener than usual. "You clean up rather nice, too," she said back, unable to say anything else.
Wasabi popped his head out of the house, noticing how Tadashi and Honey hadn't followed everyone else in. "Are you guys ready to head out soon?"
They nodded and said "Yeah," in synch, making them both blush. Wasabi's eyes looked between the two of them before he went back into the house.
Tadashi held his arm out. "Shall we go inside, then, milady?"
Honey giggled, looping her arm through his. "Absolutely, sir."
