"You done already?",Izana frowned, already clothed and waiting in the doorway. He usually planned at least two hours in advance: One for Ran to get out of bed and one for him to get ready in the bathroom. The bathroom the two had shared since a year now, was full of hair products. Izana had his side on the left and Ran had his in the right (Which obviously was Izana's idea, he loved to have everything in order. Which was why on his side, everything had a circled place while Ran decided to randomly throw everything in his)
They owned dozens of shampoos, hair straighteners, curling irons, brushes and Ran's hair coloring. Izana did his hair twice a week, every time his hair got too wet, it went back to his original structure and curled from it self. He didn't like the waves, they were fine when he stayed at home with Rannie, but not when going out
"I ain't doing my hair today",Ran still yawned, taking one of the loose strands from his head,"Also, it's hella icy outside and I'll only catch a cold if I ain't covering my ears",He waited a second for Izana to answer as the other one just stared
"You think it's ugly, huh?"
"What?",The other one asked,"Don't you fucking dare doubt my opinion about you. No, it's just...",He got a step closer, placing his guitar bag down, leaning it on the next wall. He was much more gentle with things after staring therapy and moving in with Rannie
Izana took one of Rans strands between his fingers, twirling them around his tan fingerstips,"Did you know I feel in love with you over these?",He looked back up at him
"That's a story to tell, huh?"
"You remember the party we went to? The night before we hooked up?",Ran nodded curiously, all of this taking way to long for his inpatient mind,"I got the courage to ask you out because you wore your hair down that night. Wouldn't have happened if you didn't. And every time you wear them down I think back to that day"
"Well if that's the case",Ran grinned playfully, the way he always did, sneaky hands finding Izana's waist a little too quick. It was a kind of reflex, whenever he stood close enough for him to touch, he did,"Why don't we recall that night in another way?"
"You know I would love to...",Izana stated,"But I'll be late for practice. And since I'll be playing on Friday and it already is Thursday - Mind you, Baby, it's not Wednesday - I really need to be on time today"
"I have an idea",Ran spoke up. Izana raised his eyebrows - Stated sentence was either paradies or a death sentence,"I'll be wearing my hair down. Maybe I'll do it more often - As long as you don't eat me alive - but I'll be doing it one week, until next Wednes-"
"Baby, it's still Thursday. You did really lose some sleep tonight, huh?",Izana lovingly caressed the taller ones cheeks
"Oh I barely did. I only slept nine hours! Anyways, what I wanted to say... I'll be wearing mine down and you'll be playing your show with wavy hair tomorrow",Ran's hands wandered afar from Izana's waist all the way up to his white hair,"What do you think?"
"I look like a sheep if I don't straighten them. We've talked about this before"
"I do think it looks hot on you. You also wore yours wavy when we hooked up!"
"You were too drunk to hold your drink, spilled it all over me and Kaku helped me get it out if the clothes. My hair got wet and they suddenly had the urge to do what every they wanted..."
"Would you do it for me?",Ran asked again, raising his own eyebrows in the process,"You know I love them so much..."
"Okay, you know what?",Izana spoke, letting Ran's touch go, grabbing his guitar bag and waiting in the door,"We'll be taking a bath together when I get home. And then we'll have a look at my hair and if they don't look like ramen noodles, we'll give it a try. But we have to go now",So Izana took his boyfriend's hand, got him out of the apartment and locked the door
Their ways parted at school, as Ran had to do his sport lessons and Izana would be practicing his guitar playing
Izana hadn't stopped thinking about Ran wearing his head down. How the wind would blow them, soft purple eyes having such a stark contrast to the brown hair. He never wore them down because he got easily annoyed from having them in his face all the time, but he looked so pretty wearing them down
Ran liked to compare Izana's hair with the waves of the ocean. He likes seeing them wavy. Not only because of he looked - He looked so beautiful like this - but because he knew that he was the only person being able to see him like that. No other person was so close to him, that he'd actually chose to not do them
He felt comfortable around him. And that mattered so much for Ran.
