Lipstick Lovers - Steddie fic

Steve tries on lipstick, gives Eddie a card, and Eddie loves Steve

word count: 2k, no tw, pure fluff

***

Steve was feeling pretty today. His features seem soft. He can’t see the hard lines across his forehead in the reflection staring back at him. His reflection offering him a softened glow instead. His face had a similar tone to when he worked at Scoops Ahoy.

He used to try more then. He used to poof his hair, getting it to be to the exact softness and height he loved. His sailor hat fitting snugly on top of his head, without taking away from his best feature: his hair. He used to dab on some lip gloss for good measure, loving how his lips shined from it a bit more, and seeing how people’s eyes seemed to lower when watching him talk. He used to feel pretty a lot then.

Not that he doesn’t anymore, but it’s less now. With the scars lining his torso, their jagged edges getting in the way of the smooth, delicate skin. The lines across his neck interfering with his soft features makes it harder for him to feel as attractive.

He knows Eddie disagrees. His loving, doting boyfriend Eddie, who’s leaning against the doorframe staring at him with a gentle look.

“Whatcha looking at Stevie boy?” Eddie pads over to him, and cards his fingers through Steve’s hair to move it out of his face.

Steve looks down at Eddie with a soft smile, “Just thinking, Eds.”

“Well don’t think your pretty head too much, big boy. I don’t want any headaches coming on so early.”

Steve had a warm feeling wash over him, the thought that Eddie cares about him so much to worry about his frequent headaches coursing through his mind. Steve cups Eddie’s face and dips down to capture his lips in a lingering kiss. Eddie opens his mouth to let Steve in, and leans in closer. Steve feels Eddie flush against him and-

The phone’s ringing.

A little annoyed, Steve pulls away slowly, breathing out against Eddie’s lips, “I guess I should get that.”

Eddie stares back at him and pushes him away gently. “Don’t worry, Stevie, I’ll check on it. It’s most likely one of the knuckleheads anyway.”

Steve grins at him. “Probably. They can’t leave us alone for even a few hours.”

Eddie laughed softly until the shrill of the phone distracts him again.

Eddie walks out of the room, and Steve hears him rush down the stairs. When he hears Eddie’s voice again, he pops out of his room to watch Eddie with the phone to his ear, from the top of the stairs.

Eddie looks up at him, and mouths ‘Dustin’. Steve opens his mouth into an ‘ah’ sound and bobs his head. Steve slowly walks back to his room taking in the sound of Eddie’s laugh as long as he can.

Steve walks into his room and over to the mirror where he stares back at his reflection. His eyes roam his face until he stops and stares at his lips. He used to love putting on lip gloss, and wonders what it would look like if they had a little tint to them. Wonders how he would look if he made them redder, plumper. If he would feel completely pretty again.

While Eddie’s distracted with talking to Dustin (which could take a while, especially if they get into their dnd spiels) Steve sneaks down the hallway toward his parents room.

Steve opens the door to his parents bathroom and shuffles through a bag of makeup his mom left behind after leaving for their latest trip. Noticing she doesn’t have lipgloss, he wonders if lipstick will have a similar effect. After looking through some of the shades of lipstick she had, he lifts one out that is bright red, hopefully matching with his skin tone. He grips the lipstick in his hand and hurries back to his room.

After closing the door and sitting at the edge of his bed toward the mirror, he pops the lipstick cap off, and holds the lipstick up. His palms start to sweat a little as he stares back at his reflection with wide eyes. He’s a little nervous since he’d never done this before, and he doesn’t want to do a bad job applying or have it smear across his face.

He takes a deep breath and presses the lipstick to his lips. He glides the color over his lips in what he hopes is full coverage. Once he deems his lips fully covered, he smackes his lips together like he’d seen some of the girls in the commercials do. And oh.

He looks pretty. Really pretty. Or at least he feels that way. The shade of lipstick matches his skin tone in just the right way to make his lips pop. They are vibrant and big. They actually stand out and have the illusion of looking plumper. He feels sexy. The red color making him have an air of confidence and feeling better than he had in months. He thinks Eddie might agree.

He wants to show Eddie how good he looks because he’s sure Eddie will like it too. He noticed whenever Eddie’s eyes drifted to his lips after applying lipgloss, how Eddie couldn’t seem to look away from his mouth. It always made Steve feel hot, lighting him up inside. He felt confident and wanted under Eddie’s burning gaze. Steve wanted to pay back the favor and give Eddie a little something for being an amazing boyfriend.

He grabs his polaroid off his desk that Jonathan had gifted him, and places it on his bookshelf. He angles the camera to hopefully capture his lips and face. He takes a couple pictures until he finds the one framing his face and capturing his full lips with half lidded eyes. He then brings the picture to his lips, and presses them against the white border. He pulls the polaroid away and sees the bright red imprint left behind. He wants to see his imprint more, and he wants to do it for Eddie. There is just something so hot and romantic about gifting something with his lips on it to his lover.

Steve pulls some paper out of his desk drawer, and folds it into a card. He goes back to his mirror and applies his lipstick once again. He brings the card to his lips, and presses them a couple times to the outside and inside flaps. He’s sure Eddie is going to love this.

He writes a little note inside next to one of his bright red lip imprints, and draws little hearts around, careful not to overlap them. He slips the polaroid inside the card, and brings out a spare envelope. He writes Eddie’s name on it with the best handwriting he can muster. He wants this to be neat and cute for Eddie. Now he just has to wait to give it to him.

Steve feels buzzing under his skin. He cant’t wait to see Eddie’s reaction, and if it will mean anything to Eddie. He hopes Eddie finds it hot, or at least thinks he’s attractive with the lipstick on. He doesn’t think Eddie will not like it since Eddie loves him, and therefore his lips since they’re apart of him. He doesn’t think anything will change that.

Steve paces around his room wondering if he actually looked pretty or if he maybe put too much lipstick on. He stops next to the mirror and checks his teeth. He had seen Robin do that a couple times after putting on lipstick in his car. If it wasn’t on his teeth then maybe it wasn’t too much. He doesn’t have any more time to second guess himself though since the door bursts open with Eddie bounding inside his room.

Steve jumps, and places a hand on his heart as he was not expecting such a startling entrance, but Eddie looks to be excited about something since he was opening his mouth, ready to start rambling Steve was sure. Once Eddie looks his way though, he stops abruptly.

He’s just staring at Steve and Steve is starting to get nervous. Maybe the lipstick didn’t look as good as he thought, or maybe Eddie didn’t like it on Steve.

Eddie’s mouth is still open, and Steve shuffles his feet on the floor. He looks away from Eddie since he still hasn’t said anything.

“Sorry, uh, I’m just gonna go take this off.” Steve drops his gaze to the ground, and he feels sort of like crying. He thought he looked really good with the lipstick on, but apparently Eddie doesn’t think so like he thought he might. He starts to move past Eddie to reach the door when he feels warm hands curving around his shoulders. Eddie turns him to be facing him, and Eddie brings his hands up under Steve’s chin.

“Steve, don’t take it off.” Eddie commands softly. Steve looks at the way Eddie’s eyes get darker, drinking in Steve’s face. Eddie is staring at Steve’s lips in a way that is making him shudder.

“You look so hot, Stevie. Can I kiss you with your lipstick on?” Eddie ran his thumb under Steve’s bottom lip making Steve flush.

Steve doesn’t answer, but instead pulls Eddie into a kiss. At first he just presses his lips to Eddie’s, but Eddie kisses him deeper, hungrier. He opens his mouth and lets Eddie explore more with his tongue. His teeth nips Eddie’s lips gently. Eddie’s hands are tangled in Steve’s hair, and Steve’s hands are flexing against Eddie’s waist.

Steve pulls back to breathe and opens his eyes to the hottest sight he had ever seen. Eddie has red tint smeared across his lips and to the edge of his cheeks. He looks as flushed as Steve felt, and is gazing at him with a craving look in his eyes.

Steve has never felt so desired in his life. He was starting to think the lipstick was the best idea he’s ever had.

Steve squeezed Eddie’s waist and gasped, “Hold on! I have something for you.”

Steve pulls away to grab the card he made while Eddie groans from the loss.

Steve looks down at Eddie, shyly handing him the card with a gentle smile.

Eddie looks at the envelope confused but with a slow smile coming across his face at his neatly written name. Eddie rips the envelope open as fast as he can, and pulls the card out with a flourish. Eddie looks at it with mild confusion but is gentle opening it. Steve’s heart begins beating faster waiting for his reaction.

Eddie glances up at Steve’s lips and back down to the lipstick imprints covering the card. His eyes snap to the picture Steve put in there when it flutters to the ground, and Eddie picks it up to inspect it.

“I thought you might like it.” Steve gives Eddie a crooked smile, fidgeting uncertainly. Steve can feel his blush getting deeper.

Eddie is looking at him with a dazed expression, and holds the card against his chest.

“Stevie boy, I love it. This is the hottest thing someone has ever given me. I’m going to keep this next to my bed so I can have your lips close to me at all times.”

Steve spreads his lips into a wide grin and giggles at Eddie’s words.

“I think I’m gonna put this in my wallet too. I want your lips to come everywhere with me.” Eddie winks at him while waving around the picture.

Steve flushes, the thought of Eddie taking his picture to put in his wallet making him feel cherished. Eddie continues to surprise him with how much he truly cares for Steve, and Steve never wants Eddie to feel like he’s anything less to him either.

Steve grins brightly at Eddie and steps closer to him, “I love you Eddie.”

Eddie’s gaze softens while he pulls Steve in by his hips, “I love you too Steve.” The glimmer in his eyes deepening the longer he stares at Steve’s lips, “You look damn hot in lipstick too.”

Eddie leans in as Steve sighs happily into his mouth. He loves how accepting Eddie is of him, and he’s going to wear lipstick so much more often if this is how Eddie reacts to him. He can’t deny how seeing the remnants of his lipstick on Eddie’s lips makes his stomach flutter and fill with desire. He’ll never doubt to wear lipstick again.
