𝄞₊ HUMBLE. - Kendrick ⊹
Later that evening, after putting Ezar and the twins to bed and ensuring Mizu was settled with her favorite book, Megumi and Brina got ready for the gathering.
Brina stood in front of the mirror, struggling with her lashes. Each attempt left her more frustrated than the last. She let out an exasperated sigh, her fingers fumbling with the delicate strip of lashes and the stubborn adhesive.
Megumi watched her from the bathroom doorway, amusement dancing in his eyes. "Need some help?" he offered, stepping closer, his voice soft with affection.
Brina huffed, her eyes narrowing at the lashes as if they were her sworn enemies. "Why are these things so hard to put on?" she muttered, her tone laced with frustration.
Megumi chuckled, a warm sound that made Brina's irritation ease slightly. He gently took the lashes from her, his fingers brushing against hers. "Here, let me try," he said, his voice calm and reassuring.
Brina raised an eyebrow, skeptical but willing to let him try. "You know how to do this?" she asked, curiosity tinged with doubt.
"Just watch," Megumi replied, focusing intently. With surprising precision, he applied the adhesive to the lashes, waited a moment for it to get tacky, and then carefully placed the strip along her eyelid. His hands were steady, his touch gentle but sure.
