night souls and day hearts (girl x enby)

chap 10 new activity, old comfort

Amelia awoke at 7am not feeling well rested. She got up and took off yesterday's clothes and replaced them with a huge pastle yellow hoodie that fell down to her mid thighs. She sat down at her desk and opened her laptop, and opened the a streaming service website, she saw that a new season of an anime that she liked had been released. At seeing this, she decided that today was going to be a binge watching and chill day.

She ran downstairs and into the kitchen, she opened a cabinet and took out 3 boxes of poki. Being in the kitchen remind her of last night's subpar dinner. She ran back upstairs and placed the poki boxes on her desk and grabbed the half eaten cucumber that lay on her night stand. She brought it back down to the kitchen and threw it away.

Once she was comfortably sitting in her bed with a poki stick in hand and looking at her laptop which was propped up on her legs, she pressed play. It did not take long for her to get lost in the story completely.

About 1 hour later she was distracted by the sound of a text notification. She glanced at her illuminated phone screen and saw that it was a message from Robin,
Robin:
"Hey wyd?"

She picked up her phone and eagerly replied.

Amelia:
"Nothing, just chilling in my room, u?"

Robin:
"Same, wyd today?"

Amelia:
"Nothing, why?"

Robin:
"Wanna maybe hang out?

Amelia
"Yes!, when, where?"

Robin:
"Idk u chose"

Amelia threw her phone onto her bed and ran out of her room and down the stairs and into the kitchen where her mother was sitting.

"Hey mom, is it on if a friend comes over?", asked Amelia quickly and a little louder than she intended.

"Sure, um, what friend?", answered her mom calmly.

"Umm, do you remember Robin, the kid who walked me home a while ago", answered Amelia in a pleading tone.

"Oh, well ofcourse, just dont break anything", answered her mom cheryl.

Amelia ran upstairs as fast as she could and picked up her phone from her bed. She saw that Robin was still online, she began typing frantically.

Amelia:
" you can come over to my house, we can watch a movie or something"

Robin:
"Ok. When?"

Amelia:
"Now if u want"

Robin:
"Ok I'll be there in like 20min"

Amelia saw Robin go offline. She saw suddenly struck by the fact that her room wasnt exactly clean, she threw her phone onto her bed yet again and scrambled to put away the school books that sat in a pile on her table. Then she turned to her laundry basket, she didnt have the energy to actually do her laundry si she picked up one of her blankets and threw it over the pile so dirty clothes that were overflowing from the basket. She stepped onto her bed and looked out over her bed and assessed what could be done.

She looked down and realized that her bed was unmade and that it was the thing that made her room look messy.
She jumped down and arranged her many pillows and blakets.

She looked at the half eaten box of poki on her desk and the 2 unopened ones. She contemplated doing something about them but realized that the two of them would probably want snacks if they watched a movie so she left them on her desk.

She then realized that she didnt want to be wearing just a big hoodie. She bolted to her closet but stopped in front of her mirror. She actually looked really cute, she decided that what it was missing was thigh high socks. She calmly dug around her socks untill she found a pair of black thigh thighs and decided that they would work.

She sat down on her bed and pulled on the socks, it took a bit of effort to get them all the way up, her thighs were not exactly slim.

She got up and looked at herself in the mirror again, she posed a bit. Her reflection filled her with some confidence and she spun around one to expres her happiness.

She dug around her brain for anything else she could do. Her mind landed on makeup. She grabbed her makeup bag and sat down in front of her mirror and began doing a winged liner, the wing was on the bigger side but not extreme.
She brushed a bit of blush onto her cheeks and nose. She was thinking about what else she could do with the makeup when the door bell rang.

She bolted out of her room and down the stairs at a speed that almost made her crash into the front door. She stopped herself before the impact. Amelia opened the door and saw Robin standing there, they were wearing a slightly oversized hoodie, the same skinny jeans that they usually wore and their doc martens.

Amelia stepped back to let them in, they stepped in awkwardly and began untying their shoes.

"Good morning, you must be Robin", stated Amelia's mom from the door way to the kitchen.

The two teens looked up.

"Yes ma'am", answer Robin in an official and unusually respectful tone.

"You can just call me mrs. Mctarish. Have fun you too", said Amelia's mom while walking back into the kitchen.

Robin kicked of their shoes. Amelia grabbed their wrist and pulled them upstairs and into her room. She closed the door and then saw her makeup bad that still sat on the floor in front of the mirror. She walked over to the mirror and picked up the bag to put it away.

"What's that?", asked robin.

Amelia stopped her motion.

"Its my makeup bag", answer Amelia.

Robin glanced at the bag, then her face and then the bag again.

"What? Do you want me to do your makeup or something?", asked Amelia with a smirk.

"No, I was just thinking that you are really good at doing your makeup. Besides it wouldn't look good on me", mumbled Robin, just loud enough to br clearly understood.

"Its a matter of practice and it would totally look good on you", replied Amelia kindly.

"I always see those really cool eyeliner looks on the internet and stuff", said Robin. The way they said it made it clear that it was more a request than a statement.

"If you show me a picture I can probably do it for you", answered Amelia, accepting the request.

Robin pulled out their phone and started scrolling through something. They eventually turned the screen to Amelia. She saw that it was showing a picture of eyeliner with a big wing and a spike going down from the eye.

Amelia sat down on the bed and began digging in the bag for her eyeliner.

"Yup, I can do that for you", said Amelia as she pulled ot the eyeliner and grabbed Robin's chin.

They blushed furiously at the sudden contact and closeness that followed.
Amelia leaned in to get a good view.

"Close your eyes", said Amelia, focused on how she was going to achieve the results Robin wanted.

Robin closed their eyes and Amelia began. She planned out where the wings would end. She took in Robin's face and noticed their breathing. She painted on the wings and moved to the lid, making sure the line was crisp and straight. She did the same to the other eye and leaned back a bit while the black color dried. She took in their face again and now with the eyeliner.

Amelia felt her face flush. They looked beautiful. She saw the black color go matt.

"Open your eyes", said Amelia.

Robin obeyed. Amelia started into their gorgeous blue eyes for a moment. Then she snapped out of it and began on the line under the eye. She was acutely aware of Robin watching her as she first drew the spikes and the a crisp line just under their bottom lashes.

She continued to observe every detail of their face as the color dried. Robin was watching her too. Her cheeks turned a bit redder under her blush at their gaze.

Amelia began moving her head back slowly. Robin's follow, keeping the same distance.
