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

[alma_karma]

[Alma adds his own blank look to Allen's at the mention of fairy tales, but is quickly distracted by Lavi's next hint. No worries, Allen, Alma's got this one in the bag.]

Yu?

[outsidehistory]

[Refraining from facepalming, instead ruffling out Alma's hair, finished.]

Alma gets the cookie~

And remind me to tell you two stories, sheesh.

[tothelastbreath]

[You go, Alma! Allen rubs at the back of his head, a little put off that it didn't occur to him soon...er...

...]

You're going to cut Kanda's hair?

[It's loaded with a healthy amount of doubt (and an unhealthy amount of interest in the face of it).]

And what's that about stories? [ turning to flash Alma a smile ] Good guess, by the way.

[alma_karma]

[SMIIIILE~ Alma is the best at guessing games. As long as they involve Yu.]

I don't know if Yu would let you.

[outsidehistory]

[Holds out the scissors handle first to Alma.]

He might let you do it, yeah?

[outsidehistory]

[Stories later, Allen.]

[tothelastbreath]

[Watches the proceedings with the sliiiightest quirk of an eyebrow. Oh, so this is the route they're taking, is it.]

Lavi.

[Exasperated but not entirely free of amusement. You're a bad influence on the bitty, mister. Not that Allen's that great a role model with his talk of money and cheating and winning.]

[alma_karma]

[Alma takes the scissors with a baffled little expression.]

... I think he might throw me at a wall.

[ :| ]

:|a Sorry that became a two-parter. Family drama at that time.

[outsidehistory]

Only if you cut the whole ponytail off, yeah? His hair's a bit longer than it was at home, needs at least a trim.

But he won't trust me or Allen with the scissors, yeah?

No worries! <3

[tothelastbreath]

[...Refrains from mentioning how Alma was probably serious about getting thrown at the wall. And Lavi, Allen has to hand it to you for making this sound like an almost respectable venture.]

[ musing aloud, because he's never paid it much thought before Lavi brought it up: ] He has to be sitting on it by now.

[alma_karma]

[Hmm... this is starting to sound like a good idea.]

I guess it could use a trim...

[outsidehistory]

[Lavi is just good like that.]

I'd say cut the whole tail off so we could tell them apart but just a decent trim should help, yeah?

[tothelastbreath]

[Allen could point out it is easier to tell them apart as it is, one Kanda sporting his default hair length while the other lugs around a comet tail of hair.

He could. He doesn't.]

Maybe something a bit more striking than a decent trim. Say, a foot or so more striking.

[alma_karma]

[Alma's eyes go a little wide.]

... Maybe we should ask.

[outsidehistory]

You'll already be asking if you can give him a trim, yeah?

[tothelastbreath]

[...Who knows, maybe this will turn out to be a somewhat respectable venture after all.]

Just don't tell him Lavi had anything to do with it.

[Yes, 'Lavi'. See what he did there.]

[alma_karma]

Why not?

[outsidehistory]

Because Yu likes to chase the "rabbit" around trying to kill him.

[tothelastbreath]

[ simultaneously: ] Because Lavi may not live to see his next haircut, then.

[alma_karma]

... Yu wouldn't kill you.

[outsidehistory]

He'd certainly try.

[tothelastbreath]

[ amicably: ] He would—[ aside to Alma: ]—though you'd think with all the practice Lavi's had, he'd be better at running.

[alma_karma]

[Pfffft!] Of you're not good at running you shouldn't make him mad, Lavi~

[outsidehistory]

Oi, oi! I'm plenty good at running away from him, Yu just has better stamina than me! [Endless amounts of it.]

[tothelastbreath]

It's all the same if he catches you in the end, isn't it?
