"You just had to pick the messiest treat here, didn't ya?" Rosetta said, thinking of getting that powdery sugar all over her fingers and wrinkling her nose. She supposed it wasn't actually the messiest treat here. Candy Apples could go south if you weren't careful and ice cream melted fast this time of year. Still...her outfit did not go well with powdered sugar.

"The people will see a well-mannered guy eatin' somethin' sweet while their very pretty friend talks about her life," she said confidently. As if she hadn't pushed the scenarios in her head already.

"If you dust it off enough times...I will take a small bite. Is that better? 'Cause I'm not ruinin' my outfit for nothing or no one. Even though I do adore ya."

"Aw, c'mon 'Setta!" he whined, putting his hands on her shoulders. Terence loved hanging out with Rosetta. Her bubbly attitude was such a breath of fresh air, even if sometimes that bubbly-ness crossed the line into drama, but even then, he knew it was just the way she was, no poison behind it at all.

"I can't eat all of this myself while you sit there. What will the people say?" he pushed his bottom lip out slightly, then broke into another laugh.

"C'mon, a few bites of funnel cake won't hurt you. Live a little!"

"Now Terence, I can see your lil' gears turnin' in your mind, but I am not gonna do it! Nope, nope, nope!" Rosetta crossed her arms over her chest in defiance, staring him down. "I don't care that you got too much of that...greasy...messy....food! I can't have none of that! It'll make me break out and I got too many events comin' up to risk it!" She was being overtly dramatic obviously, but that was just Rosetta. "I can tolerate a snack here and there but some of what ya got is too much! Can I just sit here and be all pretty?"

"Listen, listen," Rosetta chuckled softly, taking one of his hands that wasn't currently holding one of her more expensive products. "You're overthinkin' it, dear. The first rule is there are no real rules. Everyone got their own lil' ways of doin' their makeup. Ya just gotta pick what feels right and makes ya comfortable." Squeezing the hand gently before letting go she quickly ties her hair back so none of it was in her face. "Just start experimentin' and go from there."

"Really? But you're so cool," he frowned, his expression puzzled. He couldn't help but think her friends weren't very good friends if they didn't care about what she cared about... but he guessed his friends didn't care so much about candy, either. It didn't mean they didn't care about him, just because they weren't obsessed too. "I don't even know how half this stuff works. Do you have to use it all? Do you need setting spray? Can you use concealer without foundation?" This was... a little stressful.

rosetta: what do you call every other second of the day james? rosetta: trust me i hardly see you these days rosetta: oh? i'm sure you did, sugar. just be careful! i hope you have a ride home.

jim: i guess jim: i should be giving you space, ro jim: we both know that you shouldn't be talking to me. not after everything i've done. jim: a lot of things. i don't know. jim: sorry, im — i'm at ursula's. got a big check from hook on some shit i found and i spent it incredibly wisely.

"Aw, that's a real sweet thing for you to say," Rosetta said as she placed her makeup kit in front of him. "I enjoy your company plenty, Benjee. I've never really had anyone be this interested in my makeup and hobbies like this before...so I guess I'm bein' a lil' awkward about it." She clapped her hands together nervously. "But! But I'm gonna put all my faith into ya right now. I'm givin' ya full permission to just...look through what I got and use whatever ya want."

He thought it was so sweet that she was willing to be his test subject, knowing full well he didn't have a clue what he was doing. It was endearing. Everything about Rosetta was endearing, though, he shouldn't be surprised. From her kind heart to her laugh to how pretty and talented she was, he just thought she was so... neat. "I don't think so," he replied with a shrug, looking around the room, taking in the sight of her decor. "As long as I have your company, I'm happy!"

@wildcstwinter rosetta: if the shoe fits sugar rosetta: trying is always the first step <3 rosetta: i really can't imagine you doing the wrong thing here rosetta: what does that even mean? what are you scared of doing?

jim: mr. stars and planets, huh? jim: okay, i think i can do that. i can try. jim: i know you are. jim: but im not a tough guy, i can't always trust myself to do the right thing.

[rosettafleur]

Rosetta let out a little giggle before guiding him out of the shop and towards her apartment. "Is that all ya wanna learn? I can teach ya whatever ya want! I can share all my secrets and...and we could practice! I'm totally fine with ya practicin' on my face if ya want to...." She was rambling all the way back to her place and once they were at her place and situated she ran right to her makeup kit. It was her beloved prize, her lovely possession, and she was so glad to share it with Benjee. No one was more deserving. "Okay....Can I get ya a drink first? Or a snack?"

Benjee waited patiently for her, busying himself with looking around at all the pretty flowers while she gathered her things and spoke to her coworkers, not wanting her to rush at all. He had the whole day off, he didn't mind standing around and waiting until she was ready to leave. She was worth waiting for.

When she popped back up again with a smile, the prettiest he'd ever seen, one spread across his own lips to match as he looked at her. "Ready when you are!"

[rosettafleur]

rosetta: well yeah really your mr. stars and planets rosetta: you're fine james rosetta: well..friends hang out. and talk to each other rosetta: i keep telling you that you're not gonna hurt me. i'm a tough girl.

jim: really? jim: i feel like i am. jim: you deserved better. you always did. jim: i need to figure out how to be just friends with you. jim: i don't want to hurt you again

[rosettafleur]

rosetta: that happens to me too sometimes rosetta: especially when i look up at the stars rosetta: you're not fucked up rosetta: and i want to be your friend too <3

jim: i'm sorry i'm trying hard to be better at it jim: sometimes i just think of something and i just want to talk to you jim: it's fucked up i know jim: i'm fucked up jim: of course i want to be your friend jim: i just don't know how to

[rosettafleur]

jim: you're just okay? jim: i'm not good at this whole "no-contact" thing jim: do you think we'll ever be friends?

[rosettafleur]

"of course i knew that!" rosetta said quickly, hand on her heart. "i swear to ya, i am still gonna help ya! i just...have other ways to get the job done. i mean...i'm more of a finishin' touches kind of gal." she was sure she could channel enough magic into her hands to not get any actual dirt on her as she helped. at least she prayed. all she had to do was hope that minseo didn't noticing anything odd. she was sure she already had messed that up a little bit, but it was fine! totally fine! "how about you dig 'em out and i put them in their new homes! how does that sound?"

putting her hands on her hips, minseo eyed rosetta with a raised brow. rosetta was odd, that minseo knew, but given as mona and usagi were her best friends... it wasn't like oddballs were out of minseo's friendship-ballpark. then, sighing, the brunette dropped her hands at her sides; ❛ finnnneeeeee, fine !! i won't make you soil the outfit you wore, ❜ planets help her if she was the reason rosetta ended up with a stain on one of her fashion pieces. ❛ wait, what did you... what did you think i meant when i asked for help with my plants ?? you know we're repotting them today, right ?? putting them into new homes so their roots can grow and not doing floral arrangements... not this time anyways. you knew that, right ?? ❜

Rosetta bit her lip as she looked back and forth between him and the work she probably had to do. No, no, it had to be fine. She was going to work a double tomorrow or come in on a day off. She wasn't even the only one there it was so fine and not even super busy. With her mind finally made up she looked at him and grinned. "Yep! Just leavin' now! I should go get my things..." And explain that a devilishly handsome man has captured all of her attention and thoughts to her co worker.

Easier to explain than she had expected and before she knew it she had her bag and was tripping over her heels getting back to Benjee. By the time she made herself known again she had composed herself, brushing her skirt down with another smile. She really just couldn't stop smiling around him. "Shall we?"

"No! I'm off today!" Benjee had never been happier to not have work. He loved work, he loved his job, his coworkers, the fact that he was paid to surround himself with candy all day long. It was great, but it didn't compare to Rosetta's company. "Are you getting off now, too?"

[rosettafleur]

Rosetta technically wasn't free either, but she was sure her co-workers had it. They weren't even that busy today! It was so fine. Fine enough for her to gather her things and abandon her post for a cute guy. If anything, she was sure no one she worked with was shocked by that. Who could call it bad to get distracted by a smile like that? It was blinding in the best ways!

"You're not goin' to work now are ya? 'Cause I just got all my stuff and--it's so fine if you didn't mean right now.."

"Really? That would be nice!" He shouldn't be surprised, Rosetta was always so nice to him and hyped him up more than anyone. He hadn't even known her that long, but he felt like she had brought sunshine into his life when she came into it, and he was glad he met her that day. Who knew saving a stranger from gum on their shoe could lead to someone that meant so much to him? He found himself grinning wider when she called him sugar. "Anytime! I'm free anytime! Except when I'm not, but then I'm at work."

rosetta did want to help minseo with her plants. she wanted to help create the most beautiful arrangements and help coax the flowers to life. she had many ideas and the vision was clear...she just....forgot she couldn't just use magic to get it done. rosetta honestly didn't know the last time she properly got in the dirt, but she really didn't do it if she didn't have to. she had really hoped that she didn't have to. "i know i sound a lil' crazy!" she said with a hand to her heart. "i just...well, this outfit just wasn't made for the dirt!" none of her outfits were. "i was just gonna...make sure they look cute at the end! throw some pizzaz!"

location: minseo's appartment

❛ oh c'mon, rose, ❜ huffed minseo, walking back into the kitchen with two empty pots tucked neatly under her arms. her kitchen had turned into either a botanist's dream or their worst nightmare; there were bags of soil piled up on the island, tiny shovels, an assortment of watering cans and an inhumane amount of plants that desperately needed to be repotted. setting the new pots down, she turned to her friend and placed her hands on her hips; ❛ you said you wanted to help me with my plants... and that involves putting your hands in dirt. do you really need me to go find my old gardening gloves or.... ?? ❜

[rosettafleur]

"Of course I really like it! You look so good!" She didn't think he could get any hotter and then here he was, just proving her wrong. He always was proving her wrong by what she think she knew about him and she was honestly overjoyed to be wrong over and over again. He just...he was just so good. He gave her butterflies in the best ways and she wished she had the right words to tell him how much he meant to her.

"Of course! Good choice. And y'know what, sugar? The first rule of makeup is that there are no rules. I can show ya how I did my eyes that night though. I can show ya anything ya want!"

"You think so?" Though he thought he'd done just fine, it made him happy to hear so from Rosetta. She was the best at looking good so if she said it was amazing, it must be amazing. "Yeah! I followed a tutorial, though, and it took awhile." In his defense, if he'd ever done any makeup it was ages ago, back when Riley was young and he simply couldn't remember it. "Oh, it was... Revolution, I think?" He had no idea what he was doing so he'd just bought everything the makeup store employee suggested to him on a whim and hoped he could figure it out. "Do you really like it? I know it's a little messy. I tried to remember how your eyeshadow looked at the ball but I think your mask kind of hid it."
