You pull on a blue off the shoulder, sleeveless dress. It starts as seafoam blue but it graduates to navy, there were slits up both sides of the skirt. Red texts that he needs to get some dress clothing and asks if you're decent. You reply yes as you sit on his bed with your back to the door.

You start doing eyeshadow as he comes in and grabs his clothing before going back out

You start doing eyeshadow as he comes in and grabs his clothing before going back out. You braid your hair and put on soft pink lipstick. The last touches were a seafoam blue butterfly mask that ties on, small blue heels and a gold hair comb that has pearls. You text Red that you're finished getting ready and he comes into the room.
"Let's see how ya clean up sweetheart." You turn to look at him and his face flushes red. You look down in embarrassment.
'I-I know that I look ridiculous…." you say softly.
"N-no sweetheart. Ya look amazing. Let's start this. Go stand over there while I set up the camera." You do as he said. "Okay, let's start. This is going ta be annoyin." He says before he starts the camera he starts speaking in Spanish. "He jests at scars that never felt a wound." You walk into the view of the camera before taking your mask off.
"But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love! O, that she knew she were! She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that? Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars, as daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night. See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand! O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!" Damn, when he wants to be Red can be quite the charmer.
"Ay me!" You say.
"She speaks:
O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art
As glorious to this night, being o'er my head
As is a winged messenger of heaven
Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds
And sails upon the bosom of the air."
"O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet." You speak out and look troubled as you pace around. Red moves closer to you. His next words are spoken softer.
"Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?"
"'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself."
"I take thee at thy word:
Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized;
Henceforth I never will be Romeo." Red spoke up with these and you look shocked and stumble back a few steps.
"What man art thou that thus bescreen'd in night
So stumblest on my counsel?"
"By a name
I know not how to tell thee who I am:
My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself,
Because it is an enemy to thee;
Had I it written, I would tear the word."
"My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words
Of that tongue's utterance, yet I know the sound:
Art thou not Romeo and a Montague?" Your face looks completely skeptical. 
"Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike." He walks over and takes your hands in his.
"How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?
The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,
And the place death, considering who thou art,
If any of my kinsmen find thee here."
"With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls;
For stony limits cannot hold love out,
And what love can do that dares love attempt;
Therefore thy kinsmen are no let to me."
"If they do see thee, they will murder thee." Your voice was panicked and your eyes water.
"Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye
Than twenty of their swords: look thou but sweet,
And I am proof against their enmity."
"I would not for the world they saw thee here."
"I have night's cloak to hide me from their sight;
And but thou love me, let them find me here:
My life were better ended by their hate,
Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love."
"By whose direction found'st thou out this place?"
"By love, who first did prompt me to inquire;
He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes.
I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far
As that vast shore wash'd with the farthest sea,
I would adventure for such merchandise."
"Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face,
Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek
For that which thou hast heard me speak to-night
Fain would I dwell on form, fain, fain deny
What I have spoke: but farewell compliment!
Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say 'Ay,'
And I will take thy word: yet if thou swear'st,
Thou mayst prove false; at lovers' perjuries
Then say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo,
If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully:
Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won,
I'll frown and be perverse an say thee nay,
So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world.
In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond,
And therefore thou mayst think my 'havior light:
But trust me, gentleman, I'll prove more true
Than those that have more cunning to be strange.
I should have been more strange, I must confess,
But that thou overheard'st, ere I was ware,
My true love's passion: therefore pardon me,
And not impute this yielding to light love,
Which the dark night hath so discovered."
"Lady, by yonder blessed moon I swear
That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops--"
"O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circled orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable."
"What shall I swear by?" Red looks at you with a serious look on his face.
"Do not swear at all;
Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self,
Which is the god of my idolatry,
And I'll believe thee."
"If my heart's dear love--"
"Well, do not swear: although I joy in thee,
I have no joy of this contract to-night:
It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden;
Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be
Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night!
This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath,
May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.
Good night, good night! as sweet repose and rest
Come to thy heart as that within my breast!"
"O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?"
"What satisfaction canst thou have to-night?"
"But to be frank, and give it thee again.
And yet I wish but for the thing I have:
My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite." You look over your shoulder as if someone had called you. "I hear some noise within; dear love, adieu!
Anon, good nurse! Sweet Montague, be true.
Stay but a little, I will come again." You hurry off camera.
"O blessed, blessed night! I am afeard.
Being in night, all this is but a dream,
Too flattering-sweet to be substantial." You come back and and take Red's hands in yours.
"Three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed.
If that thy bent of love be honourable,
Thy purpose marriage, send me word to-morrow,
By one that I'll procure to come to thee,
Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite;
And all my fortunes at thy foot I'll lay
And follow thee my lord throughout the world." You look back again as if you were called again. "I come, anon.--But if thou mean'st not well,
I do beseech thee--" you look back again and back to Red. Your eyes showed pure adoration. "By and by, I come:--
To cease thy suit, and leave me to my grief:
To-morrow will I send."
"So thrive my soul--" you start to lean into him and the door to his room burst open. 
"SANS WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?!" Edge yells loudly and you jump and hide behind Red. You weren't scared but you didn't want Edge to see your scars. "WHY IS SHE HERE?" his eye sockets narrow. 
"J-just a school project. A-and don't ya know how ta knock?" Red starts to sweat as Edge walks towards you two. You pull your arms closer to you but Edge grabs one of your wrists and pulls you from behind his brother. You cry out on pain from your ribs being yanked roughly. Your feet stumble to keep up with your body. You trip and are only being held up by your wrist. Edge looks down at you right before you close your eyes tightly. Suddenly red light hits your eyelids. "Papyrus.  Let. Her. Go." Red says before you're pulled up higher and set on your feet. You feel the hold on your wrist loosens a great deal and you look at Edge. He's looking at your arm and frowning. You pull your hand out of his grip. You start to tear up.
"YOU'VE HAD THOSE SCARS FOR A LONG TIME NOW, HAVEN'T YOU?" You back op from him and your breathing starts to speed up. You feel Red put his hand on your shoulder. 
"GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" He yells at his brother. Edge looks shocked for a moment then scowls. He looks at you again and tears start to run down your face. He scoffs and turns to leave. 
"YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT HUMAN. I MAY HAVE BEEN WRONG ABOUT YOU." he walks out of the room and Red hugs you.
"Hey sweetheart. Its okay." You hug him back and sob.
"H-he s-s-saw……" you crush harder and Red leads you to sit on the bed while cuddling you.
"It's okay. He basically apologized to you." You shake your head and he rubs your back.
After a little bit you calm down. You fix your makeup and you finish your scene. You smile at Red slightly and his face is bright red. "Send me the footage. I'll fix it and stuff." You say. "Now let me get changed again. It wont be as long this time." He nods and leaves. You pull the dress I'll and pull your pants on. Suddenly you hear shouting from outside the room you grab your t-shirt and start pulling it on as the door opens. You look to see Edge standing there and Red trying to pull him out. The both see you and notice that you hadn't put your shirt on fully. You all blush deeply and you turn your back to them and pull your shirt on fully then grab your new hoodie. You leave your hood up and start gathering your stuff and put it in your bag. You hurry out of the door,  down the stairs and out of the house. You run until you get home and slam your door. You lean on it and pant hard.
"(Y/N), you okay?" Clover comes down the stairs to see you sliding down the door to sit and catch your breath better.
"P-peachy…"
