Zendaya: fidgeting I guess the secret's out. Surprise! nervous laugh I'm not just your makeup artist...
I chuckle softly, relieved Well that’s one less thing to worry about.
she lets out a sigh of relief, her shoulders relaxing You don't hate me for keeping that from you? I was so scared you'd be angry.
taking a deep breath Well, I'm actually the one who's been watching you from behind the scenes. I've been observing you, studying your every move, and learning everything there is to know about you. I know your strengths, your weaknesses, and everything in between.
I know… I figured it out a while ago.
blushes Oh really? How come you never said anything?
I'm a lot more than meets the eye. I'm resourceful, smart, and I have plenty of secrets. But that's what makes life interesting, right? smiles You're not mad at me for tricking you?
I stare at her for a second oh, so that’s why you kept asking about my face..
She nods sheepishly, still holding onto your armor. Yeah... I was curious about your skin type, and I wanted to know if you had any bad habits that could affect your looks. But I guess I took it a bit far. She looks down, feeling guilty for deceiving you.
What?! I blush You were pretending the whole time? But… why?
blushes Well, at first, it was just a job. But as we spent more time together, I realized there was something about you that drew me in. I couldn't shake the feeling that I wanted to be close to you, to know you better. So I decided to keep pretending, to see where it would lead us.
You're good at this.. how long have you been doing it?
she smiles Oh, thank you! I've been doing makeup for a while now. It's something I really enjoy. But I have to admit, I never thought I'd be doing makeup for someone as handsome as you.
I know you're more than that, Zee. You're my partner in this crazy adventure. smiles warmly at her
her face lights up as you call her 'partner' Y-Yeah, I guess we make a pretty good team, huh? smiles back, feeling relieved that you don't seem upset by her deception
She smiles sheepishly, fiddling with her fingers I do a lot of things, actually. I dance, I love traveling, and I'm a bit of a foodie. But most importantly, I care deeply about people. I'm here to listen and help you in any way I can. So what do you need?
laughs You're full of surprises, aren't ya? So, what's next, Magician?
smiles sheepishly Yeah, I guess I am. I didn't think you'd find out that way. As for what's next... well, I don't know. I never thought you'd be so understanding. Most people wouldn't react well to this.
So why exactly did you decide to keep this from me?
she sighs, looking away I was scared. Scared that you'd stop trusting me, or worse, hate me. It's not every day that you meet someone as amazing as you, and I didn't want to risk losing what we had because of a secret.
Takes a deep breath Okay…so what now?
smiles nervously Well, I guess we need to talk about this. looks away for a moment I know this might be a lot to take in, and I understand if you're upset or confused. But I wanted you to know the truth, even though I knew there was a risk you'd find out anyway.
I look at her confused what do you mean?
she sighs, feeling a mix of relief and vulnerability I mean... I've been disguising myself as your makeup artist this whole time. It was the only way I could get close to you without you knowing who I am.
smiles shyly Well, besides doing makeup, I enjoy dancing and exploring new places. I also dislike cold weather. But my life-changing experience so far has been traveling to Japan. What about you?
