kaz brekker playing with your hair
request: I love your Kaz headcanons!! Can you do one with him playing with fem!reader's hair and her playing with his without realizing? And the crows see him doing something fancy with her hair for a job and seeing that they care about each other? Sorry if this is too specific!! Thank you!
a/n: this is so fucking sweet and i can totally see this as a very intimate thing for kaz,,, pls so fucking cute
warnings: none lots of fluff
the first time kaz played with your hair, you almost gasped out of shock
you were sat on the floor between his legs with a book in your lap
he was sitting on the edge of his bed, scribbling something into his notebook
the two of you were close but not exactly touching
his gloves were off, since it was just the two of you in his bedroom
suddenly you felt a little tug at your hair and you slightly moved your head
you could see kaz twisting the strand in his fingers like he did with cards during a magic trick
he was still focused entirely on whatever he was writing
you narrowed your eyes slightly but went back to reading
you were acutely aware of his fingers playing with your hair and making their way up to your scalp
when he ended up massaging your scalp softly your breath hitched in your throat
his touch was so soft and gentle
so unlike the kaz everyone else saw
you suddenly felt sleepy and at peace
your eyes started fluttering
that night you had ended up falling asleep on the floor
your cheek pressed into kaz’s leg
you slowly began to realize that kaz wasn’t even aware of what he was doing
playing with your hair was something he did completely mindlessly
he didn’t realize how much of an affect it had on you
since he had played with your hair a couple of times, you wanted to mention it
but you knew the second you did you might break the spell
and it would be two steps backwards
but one night the two of you sat on the floor, your legs crossed, facing each other
you were talking about something or other that had to do with the crow club
again, you two were close but not touching
then as he talked kaz moved his hand up and started playing with the hair that had fallen in front of you face
he didn’t stop his train of thought, just continued the conversation as if nothing
you couldn’t help it you had to say something because you were about to swoon at his sweetness
“kaz do you realize what you’re doing” you had interrupted him
he stopped talking and tilted his head to the side
“what am i doing y/n?”
you rolled your eyes and pointed at his hand, with your hair still between his fingers
he followed your gesture and his narrowed his eyes, pulling his hand away hesitantly
you let out a sad sigh
“you’ve done it a couple of times without realizing i think” you mumbled, looking down at the floor
then his hands were back in your hair, with more confidence now
you grinned at him
“don't look at me like that, you have nice hair” he stated as an excuse.
and then the rest was history
now, the two of you couldn’t be in the same room alone together without kaz’s hands finding themselves tangled in your hair
sometimes he wasn’t paying attention and he would knot up your hair
then he’d sit with you, undoing them gently
you were sat between his legs once again
and he started attempting a little braid
after a couple of failed attempts, you walked him through it
soon, kaz became a master of braiding hair
first they were little ones
and then he branched out into different types
asking you to ignore your work so that he could practice on your hair
he said it was his favourite
the crows started noticing you new hairstyles
your too perfect braids
and buns with little delicate details
they knew you couldn't have been the one to do them
one time, you were in a common room of the slat with nina and jesper
and kaz walked in without looking to see who was in the room, paying attention to something in his hand
“hey y/n i have this new hairstyle i want to-”
he looked up then to see jesper and nina’s amused faces
and your face covered in an embarrassed blush
nina turned to you with a little smirk
“so you’ve got your own stylist now?”
jesper joined in, “yeah y/n i was starting to think you were taking cosmetology classes on your days off.”
you only rolled your eyes and stayed silent, not sure how kaz would want to play this
he recovered quickly and surprised you by walking behind where you were sitting
“i’m going to try this new style in y/n’s hair and if either of you have anything to say if i won’t hesitate to sew your mouth shut with a bobby pin”
he threatened them and then started pulling your hair into a fancy new style that would keep your hair out of your face for complicated jobs
jesper and nina just laughed and kept watching as he worked
after a few minutes, the two of them called matthias, inej, and wylan into the room
and there you all sat, watching kaz’s trial and error with this new style
by the end, you looked ready to murder a man without your hair ever faltering
all of the crows had stopped with their witty remarks and instead were in awe at kaz’s hidden talent
he maybe even looked a little embarrassed at the attention
“it’s just like a magic trick or pickpocketing” he insisted.
you grinned and took a few pieces of his hair
his tensed and then realized
“i think its your turn for a makeover kaz”
he only chuckled and kissed your palm
“over my dead body angel”
