"Shouldn't you be asleep?" Chanyeol asked, leaning against the headboard of Lacey's bed.
"I was asleep for most of the whole day, so no. Besides, I'm busy." Lacey muttered, her attention on solely on one thing.
"Busy doing what?" Chanyeol asked, watching the busy red head curiously. She looked to be painting on her nails, but he didn't know why. There was a strong scent that filled his nostrils and made him scrunch up his nose at the toxic smell.
"Painting my nails, duh," she answered, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I got tired of baby blue, I want to try purple, and then use matte on it."
Chanyeol's facial expression showed that he didn't understand a single thing she said. "Oh?" He got off of her headboard and crawled closer to her. Her long nails were colored with a purple dye. He rose a brow and asked her, "Is this what humans do all the time?"
She shrugged mindlessly, "Some girls do, some boys do too."
"But why?"
"Because it makes our nails look nice. Some people even put designs, rhinestones, that kind of lot to make our nails looks even prettier. There are people hired to this for other's too." She explained.
"Are you hired to do this?" He asked.
"No, I just do this because I want to. I want to be a fashion designer. In case you haven't noticed, I like fashion." She jabbed her chin towards her impressively sized wardrobe.
"Wait, is that like a seamstress?"
Lacey paused and thought about it for a while. "I guess so."
Then he asked her the weirdest thing.
"Can you paint my nails too, Lacey?"
Lacey froze in mid-brushstroke and looked up at him in amazement. Never had any of her male friends or boyfriends asked her something like this, they never even asked on fashion advice (which they really should have, they had really bad taste) so it was astounding that a six-foot Phoenix would ask her something like this.
Then again, he isn't even from my world... A large grin appeared on her face. "What color?" She asked giddily.
Chanyeol smiled happily at her, when people were happy, it made him happy. He said, "Red? Orange? Yellow? I'm not sure, something fire-y, I guess? Because, you know, I'm a Phoenix and all."
She bobbed her head, her red hair flying everywhere. "Yes, of course! I'll do your nails right after I'm done with mine!"
"Sorry, you're going have to keep blowing. I'd buy a nail dryer, but it didn't seem of much use to me." Lacey said, blowing air onto Chanyeol's now perfect nails. She wasn't able to paint them right away, they were in terrible condition and were really crooked that Lacey had to fix it immediately. Then she painted them.
Chanyeol grinned widely, admiring his fierce looking nails. As the two of them blew puffs of air to dry nail polish, Lacey heard muffled noises from outside her room. She looked to the giant worriedly.
"Do you hear that?" She asked in a hushed voice.
Chanyeol craned his neck to the side, his ear sticking up in the air as he tried to catch whatever she was hearing. When he heard the exhausted grunts from outside he waved a hand at her, "Oh that's just Xiumin working out and eating your food."
"What?"
He blinked at her hardened tone.
"Um," he said nervously. "I said it was Xiumin... He's been out in the hallway working out and eating... your food…" should I not have said that? Chanyeol, you really are an idiot!
Lacey's mouth dropped. She gaped in disbelief, "Wait, are you serious? He's outside in the hallways exercising and eating MY food?"
Chanyeol cursed his idiocy. Yup I made yet another mistake. He straightened up and started to apologize for the millionth time, "I'm sorry for not telling you. I thought it was a normal thing that you allowed. I just walked out of the bathroom, saw him lifting himself, he said 'hey' to me, and I just thought—"
"—No, no, it's fine." Lacey said, lying straight through her teeth.
She faked a long, tired sigh as she ran a hand through her hair. "My eyes feel really tired right now, Chanyeol. I'm going to sleep now, alright? You should too." She advised.
Chanyeol nodded his head wildly, jumping off of
