alma_karma whenever they get around to kidnapping him in the name of good grooming habits, and maybe

promisedlotus if he's cool with getting a haircut.
When: July 11th
Where: Nesreca apartments
Rating: DANDELIONS AND PUPPIES until Kanda opens his mouth.
Summary: Just a bunch of boys cutting each other's hair, with or without permission. What can go wrong, seriously. Also, action spam format. Aaaaall the action spam.

[Truth is, Allen doesn't really care if his hair gets cut or not.

Truth is, Nesreca has this hideous way of encouraging him not to care very much about most things pertaining to himself.

What he does care about, however, is making good on his verbal promise to Lavi, especially after circumstances have caused him to fall short of keeping the previous one. So when late morning finally rolls around, he splashes some water on his face in an attempt to wash away the fatigue, tries on a smile in a grimy window pane (stretch it, hold it, steady now), and makes his way to room 905 with the pair of surgical scissors they'd found all those weeks ago.]

Lavi? [ Knock knock. ] Are you up?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Makes a face, already anticipating the many things Kanda could say to that. Both Kandas, though he doesn't know of the second's arrival yet.]

Or I could keep my hood on.

[He's not opposed to a proper disguise if he has to interact with Credinta residents for some reason, but until then, he'll settle for keeping his head down and sticking to dark alleyways. Turns back to Lavi, mild surprise stretching his lips into an automatic smile.]

You gave him a bath? [ How... Cute. And domestic. ] And yes, we'd better. It is turning into quite a tangle.

[Fie on them, we're dying their hair after we cut it anyway.]

Or you could do that until it got too hot to keep it on or became rude.

He was covered in mud and was going to get into bed like that. [Pulls out his PDA.] I'll see if I can get him.

It's alright, really. I don't think I'll have a chance to be rude.

[Get in, get whatever they need, get out without ever coming face to face with anyone. That's how Allen's been operating. He used to leave a bit of money behind too, but he doesn't have any left.]

Ah. [ a slight wince, he feels more responsible for Alma than he really ought to these days ] Good thing you caught him, then.

[Nods, indicating Lavi should go ahead.]

Should we take a field trip so you can get it out of your system? [Teasing lightly, knowing about Allen's black side like he does. Not that Lavi ever likes to see it, but some steam has to be let out sometime.]

It was back when Kanda was still...still banged up. [Sending a text message to Alma to come outside for his hair cut.]

[ with a bit of a snort: ] Or I could get it out of my system—[ jabbing him in the arm ]—right here.

[Lavi's next comment sucks all levity out of the atmosphere, though. That single incident has given rise to too many complications, all of which are still raw. Allen's smile dims a little before he manages to prop it back up, and in the end, all he says is a simple:] I'm sure he's glad you helped take care of Alma when he's down.

[Alma comes tup-tupping out of the front door of the apartment building a few minutes later, his black golem in tow as he looks around for his friends.]

[By that time hopefully Lavi has propped a happier smile back up on Allen's face with some silly joke or act. It never does to make the kiddo worry when one of them are in the dumps. He shouldn't have to worry about that, just enjoy life like they didn't get to.

Lavi spots the golem first and then Alma wandering out in front of it.]

Alma! Over here! [Waving frantically with one arm, how can you miss the giant?]

[No worries, Allen excels at keeping his smile in place.]

[ laughing a little at the enthusiastic greeting, before giving voice to what they're probably all thinking: ] You can stop waving now, Lavi. No one can miss you.

[Alma laughs from where he is and scampers right on over, his little golem struggling to keep up.]

You're too tall not to see, Lavi!

[But a real one is also nice!

...Pouting at the both of you as he stops.] Not my fault I'm surrounded by midgets.

[Ruffling Alma's hair.] Ready for a hair cut?

[ T w i t c h. ]

It's unsporting to call young children names, Lavi.

[Pats the broken wall, indicating Alma should take a seat, then starts shaking out the towel they were using.]

[Alma smiles under that hair ruffling, blowing a raspberry a Lavi before scooting over to clamber up onto the wall.]

I'm ready! [He tugs at one of those long pieces by his ears, holding it up in front of his face.]

I'll look like Yu used to if it gets much longer.

Yeah, but Alma knows I don't mean it~ [Sticking his tongue right back out at Alma and laughs lightly.]

We'll get you some stilts and you can be Kanda for Halloween.

[Mutters something about how he can't fathom why anyone would want to be Kanda for whatever occasion, tucking the towel neatly around Alma's shoulders before handing Lavi the scissors. You're the expert here, bro.]

Yu's hair wasn't so long when he was younger. I could almost be him now.

[... Okay, he couldn't really pull it off, but he is shaggy as hell.

Sitting still under that towel like a good boy should. He's had a haircut or two before. He's soooo experienced.]

Not super short, okay?

[Well, Alma kinda did like Kanda a lot? So why wouldn't he?

Lavi takes the scissors, looking Alma's hair over.]

Why don't I just trim up the hair style that's still barely there, yeah?

Then if you want more off, just tell me.

[Bends down to look, hands on his knees.]

I remember what it looks like. [ tracing a vague outline of Alma's old hairstyle with a finger ] If you need help figuring it out, ask me.

[Alma nods before going back to sitting still, ready to begin.]

Okay!

[Lavi nods at the gestured design of Alma's hair.] Bit too long to show that shape. Heh, I'll do my best, yeah?

[Lavi ruffles out his hair before the gentle snip-snip starts and tuffs of hair fall.]

[Takes a seat beside Alma to watch as he idly fiddles with Timcanpy's wings, who is perched on his thigh.]

I'm sure it'll be fine, you did a good enough job with mine. [ leaning into Alma's field of vision so the bitty doesn't have to turn his head to see ] Right?

[Alma flashes Allen a smile.]

Right!

Not like your hair hasn't grown in fifteen different ways since I've met you, Allen. [A light and teasing jab at the ever changing artist's drawing of Allen's hair.]

Alma's should be no problem if it's only been that one style.

[Settles back again, answering Lavi with an easy roll of his shoulders.]

[ musingly, like he's never given the subject much thought before: ] Well― It grows. I can't help it if they trim it differently everytime.

How come you don't just get it cut the same way?

That's a very good question, Alma. I'd like to hear that answer too. [Glances at Allen with a grin, working on the bitty's hair.]
