And you’re not sure whether to scream or kiss him.
"It's not even that bad," he laughs, placing down the shopping bags like it's an ordinary day.
You squeal into your palms, mouth parted so wide you’re sure your soul just escaped through it. "I thought you were just getting the ends cut off?" you muffle.
"I was," he quips, "But then I realized how much of a hassle this whole 'hair' thing is, so..." he does a scissors motion over his head, grinning nervously.
"Satoru," you emphasize, the corners of your mouth curled up in horrified amusement.
He could've at least given you a heads-up.
"No, I do- You just..." you crane your head to the side, blinking at him "-Look different"
"Good different- or bad different?"
You press your hand over your chest, fingers digging into the fabric of your shirt.
You're conflicted. Sad, shocked, angry, yet swooning for him all at once.
He's still unmistakably your Satoru—just more majestic. Like every curve of his jawline has a point to prove. His eyes pop more like this, too, bright and endless, framed by nothing but his smugness.
His gorgeous, soft hair. Gone.
"You really did it," you whisper, almost to yourself
"I didn't say that," you reply, hesitantly approaching him. You thread your fingers through the short fuzz. It's long enough to be pulled— white strands still silky soft.
His snowy lashes flutter in flamboyance. Oh, he looks like trouble.
You cup his chin with both hands and turn his face side to side.
"Good," You say, nodding your head, "Definitely good different."
His grin widens. "See, I knew you'd like it," he purrs, straightening and pulling you by the hips. "Never doubted it for a second"
Right, like he wasn't just sulking at the mere thought of you hating it.
"Is that so?" You tap a finger on the tip of his nose.
He dips his head, plucking you into a gentle kiss. You take the opportunity, trailing your fingers against his scalp. They flow through without resistance, and a sigh bubbles through you from the foreign sensation.
You pull back, dragging a thumb against his dewy lips. It hasn't been long, but you think it's already starting to grow on you.
You tap the side of his head, your smile growing wider. "It's a good thing you're good-looking."
He hums in delight— ego rising faster than you can blink. "Hmm, wanna see good-looking in action?"
