Lapidot (SIN) Dump

MUSE + mini rant

None of the bells set off in her head, still very dull from work earlier, but Peridot finally comprehended what Lapis was asking.

"You're asking me to be...nude and you're going to put that on a canvas?"

"Nude like the Venus de Milo!" Lapis exclaims, "I'm glad you're cool with this, really you're saving my ass with this one."

Peridot held her hands out in protest, "I-I don't think that would be appropriate, I mean can't I just wear a tank and some shorts and leave the rest to your imagination.

"Peridot I wouldn't have asked if I knew you couldn't handle this. Honestly this could be really special, don't you want me to express how magnificent you are through my artistic vision."

"I guess that would be cool, I'm still a little unsure."

"No one is going to see it if that's what you're hung up on; only you me and my professor, that's three females and an easy A."

"It's not that."

"Peridot please express what's making you uncomfortable and I promise I'll see to making this more passive for you.

Peridot wonders that herself, she knows she could trust Lapis with this project and wandering eyes on her painted body. It's just...

"No one has ever gotten to see...me like that."

"At all?" Lapis asked, Peridot shook her head, too embarrassed to say the word no.

Lapis throws her arm around Peridot, "well that's okay, just think nothing of it, it'll be like a physical at a doctors office except I'm only observing!"

Peridot still wasn't sure until Lapis began to beg.

"Listen I know I've never told you this, but you've got to believe me when I'm saying you're hot." That perked Peridot's attention, unfolding a blush over her cheeks. No one had ever complimented her in that fashion, "please Peridot, for me."

After the day Peridot had, if that's all it took to put this ordeal to bed and out of the way then so be it.

"Fine I will do it, but let me take a shower first."

Lapis threw her arms hugging Peridot jolting her back and forth, until she caught the stench of her work clothes. "Yeah that shower sounds like a good idea."

"Don't push it."

-

After 15 minutes in the women's shower, Peridot returns to her room with her hair in a towel wrap and a robe.

Lapis in her paint stained smock greets her, "whenever you're ready, Peridot."

A blush formed throughout her body before she even activated her blow dryer and while she's maintaining her hair to model, Lapis' words never left her mind.

She called me hot. Well she would've said anything to get me out of my clothes. But still it feels nice to know.

Peridot smiles in the mirror, with one final check in the mirror she musters enough courage to actually go through with this.

"Just sit on that stool, don't worry it's padded."

Peridot took her seat with her hands squeezing the knot of her robe's sash. Lapis turned on her tripod klieg light she borrowed from the art studio, which made Peridot squint at first until Lapis found an acceptable tint. Then she picked up the television remote and flipped to the Science Fiction channel, Peridot's favorite.

"This might take awhile, I'd figure you wouldn't want to be bored."

Bored? I'm letting you paint me nude, I literally can't even get my nerves to rest right now.
