Notes: Snagged this meme from FIC, shall be posting it in my fiction journal later.

1) The first time Ryuuji ever experimented with make-up was when he was five years old. He'd snuck into the quiet room (the one with sheets all over everything that the servants talk about behind their hands when they speak of his mother) and pulled out all the drawers. Hair-clips had tumbled around him, sticks of eyeliner and jars of blush so old that it was caked. He thought of his father and smeared it over his face until he looked like a beautiful child-clown, delicate bone structure and garish red lips.

2) The second time was when he acted in a production of Midsummer Night's Dream. He was Puck, impish follower of King Oberon, declaiming his lines with perfect inflections and flawless timing. The audience adored him, and he adored their adoration.

3) While he was taking his penultimate bow, he decided to be an actor. And a scriptwriter, because nobody had written anything good enough to suit him yet. He'd make a play the world would remember; he'd put words into their mouths long after his own corpse had decomposed.
