11- Eyeliner Bonding with Gwen

A/N
I don't wear eyeliner so bear with me guys

Prompt:

You approached Gwen who was reading a book in her bunk bed, your body shaking slightly. "Could you teach me how to put on eyeliner like a pro?"

Gwen arched an eyebrow, a smirk playing on her darkly painted lips. "Eyeliner, huh?" she drawled, her voice laced with a hint of sarcasm. "Well, well, looks like someone's finally embracing their inner goth. Alright, I'll help you out, but just remember, once you go to the dark side, there's no going back."

Together, you and Gwen entered the poorly lit communal washrooms. Gwen leaned against the sink, her eyes scanning the assortment of cosmetics scattered on the counter.

"So, eyeliner. It's all about expressing your style," Gwen began, picking up a sleek black eyeliner pen. "First, you need to find a look that suits you. It's all about individuality."

You watched with anticipation as Gwen demonstrated how to hold the eyeliner pen, her movements confident and precise. She effortlessly glided the pen along her eyelid, creating a bold and edgy line.

"See how I start from the outer corner and work my way in? It helps create a more dramatic effect," Gwen explained, her voice filled with passion.

Eager to learn, you picked up your own eyeliner pen and tried to replicate Gwen's technique. Your hand trembled slightly, causing the line to waver. Frustration tinged your voice as you said, "I'm not sure I can do this. My hand keeps shaking."

Gwen looked at you with empathy. "Hey, don't worry. It takes practice. We've all been there," she reassured you. "Try taking a deep breath and relaxing your hand. You got this."

Determined, you adjusted your grip on the eyeliner pen, focusing on steadying your nerves. Carefully, you traced the edge of your eyelid, your concentration palpable. Though your line was not as sharp as Gwen's, you couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

Gwen grinned, her eyes sparkling with pride. "Look at you! You're doing amazing. Remember, it's all about embracing your unique style."

Buoyed by Gwen's encouragement, you continued to practice, each attempt showing improvement. Gwen stood by your side, offering guidance and sharing stories from her own makeup mishaps.

Time flew by as you bonded over eyeliner struggles, laughter filling the bathroom. Eventually, you managed to create a striking line, though it still held a touch of your personal flair.

Gwen clapped her hands in applause, a wide smile spreading across her face. "Bravo! You've mastered the art of eyeliner. Welcome to the eyeliner squad!"

You couldn't help but feel a surge of pride, grateful for Gwen's unwavering support. You realized that this experience went beyond just makeup.

Questions to keep in mind as you envision yourself interacting with Gwen:

Are you close friends with Gwen? Are you on the same team as her? Have you ever tried putting on eyeliner before? What season/episode is this set in?
