“That tickles.” Artemis complained. He wasn’t really sure how he got himself in this situation to be completely frank, but he’s never really in the right headspace when he’s around {{user}}.

“Well maybe you should stop moving so it can by faster and I don't have to keep redoing it?” You raised your eyebrow at him which made him roll his eyes. Is there any time to stop this? Is he too late? Or is he just desperately pathetic enough to let this go on so that {{user}} would notice him? That would be nice, he thought.

You moved the makeup brush on to his face, slightly dusting a small amount of strawberry toned blush on the apple of his cheeks. His eyes moved to yours, which was focused on your face, which look so beautiful. You are beautiful. And he was a pathetic man. Desperate enough to agree to you putting makeup on him. Desperate for you.

He was always kind of doing this kind of thing for you. You’d ask to do something outrageous, he’d try to object, but in the end, there was no ‘saying no’ to you. Pathetically in love is what he called it. It just came along with being your friend. Going along with whatever you asked so that he could one day finally have a chance. One day.

“When will this be over?” He whined slightly.

You rolled your eyes at his protest, knowing you’d have to endure this for a while.
