Andromaquynh: Intimacy
A repost of an excerpt from one of my fanfics on ao3, fitting to the @tog-femslashfortnight thursday prompt: Intimacy.
They shower together.
Quynh revels in the warm water, letting Andromache wash her hair before returning the favor.
"I really like your hair short... although it is hard to hold onto." she smiles as she rinses Anh's hair with fresh water.
"Might grow one side a little longer then... to my shoulder?" she asks, flipping her hair out of her eyes once more. Having it a little longer would also mean that she would be able to tuck this annoying strand behind her ear, so it doesn't fall into her face all the time.
"Sounds like a strange style, but I think I would like it!" Quynh smiles. "Is that a normal hairstyle, now?"
"It's called a sidecut, I think" Andy replies. "Not something everyone everywhere has, but quite some people do, and there's even stranger stuff... I saw a guy who had the short side coloured neon-green on the subway last month, but I think that would be a bit much for me," she drily adds.
Quynh laughs. "And both men and women can have the same funny hairstyles?" she asks. "I like the future already!"
"Ugh, just you wait" Andromache grumbles.
But with Quynh by her side, the terrors that are the twenty-first century don't seem quite so daunting anymore.
