vi leaned against the doorframe of your bathroom, arms crossed, watching as you carefully smeared a creamy green mask over your face. the overhead light caught the little sparkles of product on your skin, and she couldn't help the amused smirk tugging at her lips.

"you really take this seriously, huh?" she said, her tone teasing but not unkind.

you glanced at her reflection in the mirror, raising a brow. "of course i do! skincare is self care, vi. you should try it sometime."

she chuckled, stepping closer and peering into the cluttered array of jars and tubes on the countertop. "what even is all this stuff? looks like a chemist's lab in here."

"it's what keeps me glowing," you said with a playful smile, smoothing the last bit of the mask onto your forehead. "and it might help you too, you know."

vi rolled her eyes but leaned against the counter beside you, her smirk never fading. "yeah, i don’t think glowing is my vibe. but you do look cute all green like that. kind of like a leafy vegetable."

"funny," you said, elbowing her gently before turning to face her. "come on, let me do yours."

her smirk vanished. "no way."
