Characters: CLOSED; tothelastbreath and looseleafbook, 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?

Comments

Mikki, it would help if you bookmarked the entry. I'M SORRY GUYS.

[outsidehistory]

[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?]

IT'S ALL GOOD. <3

[tothelastbreath]

[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_karma]

[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!

[outsidehistory]

[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?

[tothelastbreath]

[ 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_karma]

[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.

[outsidehistory]

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.

[tothelastbreath]

[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.]

[alma_karma]

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?

[outsidehistory]

[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.

[tothelastbreath]

[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_karma]

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

Okay!

[outsidehistory]

[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.]

[tothelastbreath]

[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_karma]

[Alma flashes Allen a smile.]

Right!

[outsidehistory]

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.

[tothelastbreath]

[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.

[alma_karma]

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

[outsidehistory]

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.]

1/2

[tothelastbreath]

―Er.

[Because it got bitten off once.

And grew past his waist the next thanks to one of the Science Division's overzealous contributions to mankind.

Because, as is probably clear by now, none of his haircuts are ever quite planned.

But mostly because he doesn't much care as long as no one's nagging him for it, and if it's free.]

2/2

[tothelastbreath]

[ with a somewhat sheepish grin: ] ...It never seemed very important to ask.

[alma_karma]

But don't you have a certain way you like it better? I like mine short with the long bits on the sides...

[outsidehistory]

We'll have to make sure it gets cut the same way, won't we, Alma?

[tothelastbreath]

[He rubs at the back of his head.]

It helps to have my bangs out of my eyes, but I'm not very particular otherwise.

[Turns to check on Lavi's progress.]

[alma_karma]

Yeah.

[Checking out Allen's hair out of the corner of his eye.]

... Maybe you could get something to hold your bangs back.
