Behavioural Feminization 26

Anushka: Can you do his makeup in a way that’s long-lasting, but not too long? I want him to pass as a tomboyish girl, and don’t tell him. If you mess up, you know what’ll happen.

The salon lady nods with a sly smile.

Salon Lady: Of course, Miss. I’ll make sure he looks like a girl even when he dresses as a boy.

 The salon lady continues the makeup session, skillfully applying various products to Aarav’s face. She glances up at Anushka with a knowing grin.

  Salon Lady: Anushka ma’am, what kind of nail polish should I use? I remember you telling me to use the most expensive one, but it’s long-lasting—about 18 days. Should I use a cheaper one?

  Anushka: No, use the most expensive and long-lasting nail polish. I want him to look perfect until the last day of the bet.

  Aarav: Anushka, but that’ll extend the bet for more days.

  Anushka: Ah, someone seems to want a navel ring.

 Aarav flinches, his expression turning resigned.

  Aarav: Fine, fine! There’s no point in arguing, is there? Just do whatever you want to me.

  Anushka: Cute.

 Aarav huffs in irritation, but can’t hide the blush spreading across his cheeks.

  Aarav: I’m not cute...

 Anushka chuckles, amused by Aarav’s attempt to maintain his cool.

  Anushka: You can deny it all you want, but I know the truth. You’re absolutely adorable.

 She ruffles his hair playfully.

  Anushka: And don’t think I didn’t notice your reaction to being called cute. Adorable indeed.

Aarav (blushing deeply): Okay, okay. Enough already. Let's just finish up this makeover and get this over with, alright?

Salon Lady: Can you put your toes on this table?

Aarav (hesitating): Fine...

Salon Lady: begins applying cream and trimming toenails

Anushka: You know, my lady, your nails are going to look very good in crimson.(smirk)

Aarav (rolling his eyes): Great, just what I needed... more girly colours on me.

Anushka: Red isn’t a girly colour, miss.

Aarav (surprised): What... What do you mean it's not a girly colour? I thought it was stereotypically associated with girls.

Anushka: Pink is kind of associated with girls, but I haven't seen red being specifically for them. It’s going to look good on you.

Aarav (blushing): You... You really think it'll look good on me? Red nail polish?

Anushka: Not just that—your saree, lipstick, nails, sandals they are all gonna Match...

Aarav (turning pink): You... You really have every aspect of my look planned out already, huh? Seems like I don't even have a say in any of this.

Anushka: You never had any say in it.

Salon Lady: Arti ma'am, can you put your hands on this table?

Aarav (confused): Ma'am?

Anushka: What else would she say?

Before Aarav could protest Anushka puts her finger on his lips

Anushka: Now Shut up and be a good girl unless you want some dazzling navel ring to show off with your saree.
