aesop with a makeup artist s/o

♡ being an embalmer, he knew all about makeup for corpses. but not so much for the living - that's what interested him, how you two were like two sides of the same coin

♡ he viewed himself as the moon and you as the sun

♡ it wasn't love at first sight, but once his feelings started developing for you, there was no going back

♡ at first he wanted to observe you from afar, until he realized he couldn't stop staring

♡ you were an expert, he even learned some makeup tricks to use while embalming by surveying you during battle

♡ in his room he'd 100% plan out conversations he wanted to have with you.. poor guy just didn't know how to approach you

♡ he'd spend hours pacing around and daydreaming about you

♡ when he chose you as the surrogate during matches, he'd furiously blush as he recreated your features

♡ you were gorgeous, with or without makeup

♡ he'd spend so much time working on you that everyone would tell him to hurry up, but he took this very seriously. he didn't want to make a single error, he needed to capture your essence perfectly

♡ little did he know that you felt the same way

♡ you wanted to learn about embalming and there was even a part of you that wanted to do his makeup for him :p

♡ what brought you two together?

♡ jealousy

♡ aesop saw how well you clicked with the other survivors and didn't like it one bit, that should be him by your side

♡ he was shocked that he made the first move, but he didn't want to miss his chance. not when someone like you wound up in the same manor as him

♡ he approached you after a match together and asked you about makeup, his hands were clammy and he was stuttering but he needed to talk to you

♡ you were a little surprised, so far people only asked "can you do my makeup?" nobody wanted to know why you became a makeup artist or what your favourite part about the profession was

♡ he would let you ramble to him for hours

♡ aesop was an amazing listener

♡ it wasn't only because he struggled with speaking, you could tell he was genuinely curious about fake eyelashes and if they would fall off easily

♡ this lead to you two meeting up after matches over a cup of tea to chat

♡ it took a while for him to open up, but eventually he told you about his mother and jerry

♡ he trusted you

♡ you officially became a couple after you kissed him goodbye and he pulled you into a passionate kiss, it was so sudden as if a dam broke inside of him

♡ he seemed so calm & collected, how was he capable of nearly eating your face off???

♡ he was full of surprises

♡ and he was happy that he could have someone to open up to as well

♡ you were never once creeped out by him, from the very start you wanted to learn more about him and protect him from everything and everyone

♡ the way his features shrivelled up in disgust when you mentioned that you made small talk with clients made your heart swell, everyone in the manor was missing out on him

♡ now onto the coupley things

♡ he looked so handsome when you put him in makeup, and so adorable when you used face paint to turn him into a cartoonish skeleton

♡ his childhood was rough and he had to grow up fast, he couldn't ever explain how important it was to laugh and slow dance with you

♡ he loved teasing you, one of your eyebrow pencils would go missing and you'd hear him trying not to laugh when you asked if he saw it

♡ he'd probably think they were pencils used for writing tbh

♡ aesop's been so professional his whole life that it's unbelievable he'd enjoy playing with anything or anyone, but you guys love having lightsaber duels with brushes and drawing on each other while you sleep

♡ whenever you kissed him you'd leave huge lipstick stains on his face

♡ he'd be so flustered and he'd want to leave it on, but he knows how much he'd be teased

♡ someone like mary or michiko would see him with a huge smooch on his cheek and say "oh, young love" causing him to turn red

♡ he's enamoured with your hair and loves to brush it

♡ you smell perfect to him, from how many beauty products you use

♡ he'd be lying if he said he's never stolen one your shirts to sleep with.. it smelled so clean, so proper, just like you

♡ he's new to relationships so sometimes he does things that are a little strange but it's endearing, to know that he's trying for you

♡ once he licked you and you were like wtf

♡ he's also said you'd look beautiful in a coffin surrounded by yellow roses, but it's okay, that's his way of complimenting you

♡ aesop would never hurt you

♡ he gets jealous easily, he knows you'd never leave or cheat but he can't help comparing himself to the other guys in the manor when you chat with them

♡ he wishes he could be the only one to make you laugh sometimes

♡ when you hang out there's no pressure to speak

♡ you often find yourselves sitting in a comfortable silence, enjoying each other's presence

♡ he's very glad he had the guts to approach you that one day, because he's keeping you always and forever

♡ if anyone gets in between you two, he'll do a nice job of embalming them

♡ and that's a promise.
