<p>Berry's hair was tied up in a bun at the top of his head to prevent it from falling over his face while Stuart did his makeup. "I still don't understand why I have to wear makeup for today. Care to explain?" Berry's question distracted Stuart, and his focus wavered, resulting in him drawing a weird arch on Berry's eyebrow. He clicked his tongue in frustration as this was not the first time it was happening. It was a miracle that the first one turned out perfect. He had always thought that doing this was easy as Marie made sure to wear makeup every day, but Stuart was just learning the truth and he developed a newfound respect for Marie.</p>

<p>"I told you to stay still," Stuart sighed before taking a wipe and cleaning the weird arch. "Like I said, this is your first gift today, and I am taking my time to do this so you would like it." Stuart explained again as Berry had long forgotten the reason why they were doing this.</p>
