You hummed, excitedly glancing at the shade of coral orange lip tint that you had stolen bought from a small cosmetic store you had visited when you were in town. The brand was one of your favorites so you were excited to see if it would look good. The packaging was cute, and they even claimed that it would last for six hours without drying your lips. You doubted the claim, but if it made you look cute at least that would count.

Slowly you swiped it on, starting from the center of your lips before fanning outward. Gently patting your ring finger on your lips to smooth it out. When your work was done you took a step back and took a look in the mirror. You smiled, happy to see how the shade matched you fairly well.

"Y/N? Ah, this is where you've been..." Turning around, you smiled to see your lover, leaning against the door frame. Chrollo wearing his signature coat and his hair slicked back, making the tattoo on his forehead even more prominent. "Pakunoda told me that you had returned to base but you didn't even bother to tell me hello~"

"Sorry sorry," you said, playfully apologetic. Leaning in and wrapping your arms around him. "I just got a lil something for myself and got a bit excited to try it..."

Chrollo smiled. Considering how grueling being in the Troupe could be at times, he enjoyed the times when you could be happy. Brushing your cheek he leaned in. "Well, as an apology, could I have a kiss?" His silver eyes deep and alluring as your noses were close enough to touch.

"Wait, Chrollo," You said with reluctance, trying to push him back. As much as having a kiss from him would have been nice, perhaps while your lip product was drying might have not been the best time. "My lips are still-"

"A thief does not wait," He said. And before you could eek out a protest, his lips descended upon yours. All worries washed away, and you leaned forward into the kiss. His lips were just so soft and welcoming. Gently Chrollo leaned you against the counter, trapping you between his arms. Since you couldn't run your hands through his hair, you settled for sliding them down his firm pecs.

No matter how many times you two kissed, it always felt magical. You were left in a dreamy haze as eventually you pulled away from each other.

"Oh shit."

You were immediately snapped out of your love trance by your own words as you saw the results of your kiss.

Chrollo looked at you in confusion. "Is something a matter Y/N?"

You bit your lip. "Chrollo... I told you that my lips didn't dry yet..."

Realization was slow, but when it hit him he glanced in the mirror. Fingers tracing his lips as he observed your shared handiwork. Now you two were matching with coral orange lips.

Now, there were very few things that Chrollo didn't look good in. He was just that naturally handsome. But the vibrant orange lip tint contrasting with his dark outfit and pale complexion was... something.

"This isn't an issue," Chrollo said with his usual calm voice. Reaching for one of your wipes. "I'll just wipe it off."

The first time, and even the second time it didn't register. But when Chrollo tried to swipe at the lip tint for a third time and it still didn't event budge, he began to realize that he had a problem. Slowly he turned to you.

"Y/N.... I have a meeting with the Troupe in ten minutes."

"That's why I told you to wait!" You sighed, going over. Taking another removal product, you tried in vain to remove the orange concoction off his lips. But it just. Wouldn't. BUDGE.

After five minutes of trying, you threw your hands up in defeat. Chrollo maintained his cool on the outside, but you could tell that the man inwardly was baffled. "So this is the power of makeup... how peculiar..."

"Yes it is," you said. Pushing him out the door. "And now you must live with the consequences of mishandling such power. Now go to your meeting, the Troupe awaits your elegance."

Suffice to say, Chrollo tried his best to maintain as if nothing was going on during his meeting. But as he spoke, he could tell by the expressions on the members faces that they were thinking some things.

Bonolenov and Nobunaga were squinting at their leader, trying to figure out what was so... different? Uvogin and Phinks were both trying to hold in their laughs, which proved even more difficult when they happened to make eye contact with each other. They didn't burst out, but their shoulders were shaking more violently. Shalnark really thought Chrollo didn't notice him taking a inconspicuous photo of him with his phone.

And Pakunoda. Oh sweet Pakunoda. After the meeting was finished and Chrollo just wanted to leave the area to try resolve his predicament, she gently said to him. "Perhaps a different shade? I'm sure a red or a deep pink would look nice on you."

Suffice to say, Chrollo would think twice before kissing you when you wore that shade of orange ever again.
