Omg I absolutely love your work!!!!! It makes my entire day 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Can I ask for HC of the fellers getting their facial hair shaved/trimmed by the reader?
ahhhh thank you anon <3 luv u
Arthur
Arthur’s confused. He doesn’t understand why the hell you’d want to shave his stubble, creasing his brow as he tries to figure out what the catch is. He’s cautious, mainly because no one usually does things this kind for him but he agrees, sitting down cautiously as you get ready.
He pretends like this is a chore to him, huffing and telling you not to give him any weird looking goatees or mustaches but once you start, he goes quiet and closes his eyes.
You wonder if he’s somehow fallen asleep but he’s sitting upright so you know he’s still awake. Arthur relishes in your tender touches, feeling your hands gently move his head when needed. Arthur considers himself to be very vulnerable like this and yet he feels so safe. You have such a strange effect on Arthur, he knows this is completely out of his comfort zone but with you, Arthur automatically relaxes. The effect you have on him truly baffles Arthur.
Charles
Charles has a simple reaction. He thinks about it for a few seconds before shrugging and saying ”Sure, why not”. He trusts you to shave him and Charles knows that if anything, you’d be helping him by giving him some tips when it comes to shaving.
He doesn’t have much facial hair anyways, maybe a 5 o’clock shadow depending on when you ask so Charles knows there’s very little you can do to completely mess this up. If you need him to hold the razor or badger (not the animal, apparently that’s the name of the fancy brush for shaving foam) while you inspect how well you’ve done and if you’ve missed any areas, Charles has no problem to do so, willing to help in anyway he can.
He never asks you straight out to help him shave, knowing you have better things to do but whenever you offer, he greatly appreciates the gesture and won’t ever refuse you. Of course if you ever need help with anything, Charles offers to aid you out since you’ve done such a kind gesture for him. Whether you need some assistance planning a con or with your chores around camp, Charles is always there to help.
Dutch
Dutch likes to keep up appearances and his specific appearance means a lot. He’s the face of the gang so if he goes around with an uneven mustache thanks to your barber skills, he’s not only embarrassing himself but also the gang.
Or at least that’s what he tells you every time you bring up trimming his mustache. He’s verrrrrry hesitant to let you shave his facial hair or go anywhere near his mustache but one evening after spending the day celebrating a successful heist (and having a few drinks), Dutch decides he might as well let you have a go at shaving some of his stubble.
Dutch is very precise with what he wants, holding up a pocket mirror the entire time to see exactly what you do. Once you’re done, he thoroughly inspects your work before saying he supposes you did an alright job.
Micah
What kind of joke is this? Why would Micah let you clean up his facial hair? It takes about 5 tries until Micah allows you to go anywhere near his mustache and beard, presuming this is some malicious ploy the others put you up to and that you’ll shave off his mustache entirely.
But the more you talk to him about it and explain how you just want to clean up the edges of his mustache and maybe trim it a little so it’s not covering his upper lip, Micah starts to warm to the idea. He watches you like a hawk while you do it though, not completely trusting you and wanting to make sure you keep to your word.
He doesn’t enjoy you trimming his mustache while you do it, way too paranoid to let down his guard but once he’s thoroughly inspected your work afterwards, he’s happy with it, even offering to get you a drink. Even though he was hesitant at the beginning, Micah expects you to do this for him on a weekly basis now, pestering you once his mustache starts to grow again.
John
After the wolf attack, John’s been very hesitant to shave, scared he might do more injury to his scars. For the first few weeks, John would only shave when necessary and it often took him much longer than usual, delicately trying to avoid his cuts.
He’s unsure when you offer to shave his stubble, warning you about how careful you need to be and how it might be too much trouble. But if you’re certain you want to do it then John sits as still as he can and leaves you go for it.
John’s pleasantly surprised at how attentive you are, going slow and making sure not to miss any stubble. He knew you’d do your best but he’s amazed at how effortlessly you do it. John’s very bashful afterwards, running his hand along his smooth jawline as he thanks you.
Javier
This is literally heaven for Javier. Although he rarely feels pampered, it’s something he loves. It actually makes Javier feel a little giddy, he’s not normally the centre of attention, usually playing a background role in heists or too busy playing the guitar to be the prime focus during any of the gang’s parties.
He instantly accepts your offer to help him shave, telling you all about how he usually shaves before asking if you have any suggestions or tips for him. Javier is very open to any ideas you have, taking on any advice you have when it comes to trying out different styles of facial hair.
He can’t stop smiling afterwards, convinced his facial hair looks better than usual because you’re the one who helped him clean it up. If you ever want to do it again, Javier will let you, even offering to pay you for your assistance (but if you won’t take cash, he’ll happily buy you a drink to show his gratitude)
Bill
Bill can’t remember the last time he’s shaved. He just lets his beard grow, not putting much care or thought into how it looks. When you approach him and offer to clean it up a bit, Bill’s taken aback. He didn’t think people took much notice of how his beard looks nor did he think there was much anyone could do to help it look better.
He’s actually self-conscious since you’ve asked to trim his beard, not realising how badly it needed some care until you mentioned it. No one’s ever done this for him before so Bill isn’t sure how to act while you get to work on his beard. He tries to make some small talk, asking if he can help in any way but eventually he sits quietly and basks in the feeling.
He doesn’t compliment your work or speak much about this afterwards, mainly because Bill gets too flustered to say anything else other than “thanks”. He may not directly ask you to trim his beard again but he will mutter complaints about it getting too long, hoping you’ll get the hint and offer your services again.
Sean
Sean needs help shaving to be honest. There have been times he’s missed patches of stubble and didn’t bother re-shaving. He says it ‘adds character’ to his face but the gang knows it’s out of laziness. So Sean is extremely lucky to have you offer to help him shave.
He isn’t the easiest person to shave, unable to keep still and constantly asking what’s taking you so long (even though you’ve only been doing it for 2 minutes). Yeah, he can be a handful sometimes but he’s a lot better once you’ve finished.
Afterwards, Sean feels like a million dollars. He can’t stop touching his cheeks and chin, convinced his skin has never felt so smooth. For the rest of the day, Sean continues to praise you and boast about how amazing his skin feels. Honestly, he’s walking on cloud 9 for the rest of the day, completely smitten with you.
Hosea
Hosea likes shaving his face whenever a 5 o'clock shadow starts to appear. He finds it therapeutic, taking his time as he methodically spreads lotion across the lower part of his face. Shaving is something Hosea doesn’t have to think about when he does it so normally he goes on autopilot mode and takes the time to destress.
When you ask to help him shave, Hosea is hesitant purely because he sees this as his time for some soothing self-indulgence and he knows that no matter how much he trusts you, he won’t fall into the same zen space if someone else is shaving his face. Hosea tries to prolong the inevitable, promising to let you do it some other time but eventually, he sighs and sits down, patiently waiting for you to start.
Hosea hates to say it but you surprised him at how good you were at it. Well, he always knew you were capable of shaving his face, the real part that surprised him was that he was still able to fall into his meditative space. If anything, Hosea found it more comforting than normal, feeling immediately at ease as you talked him through it, softly describing each step of the process so he knows you have some idea of what you’re doing.
Trelawny
It is extremely rare to see Trelawny’s facial hair grown out or not precisely styled to his liking. In fact, there’s only one time you’ve seen him with more than just his mustache and that’s when he got held captive by some bounty hunters.
Trelawny was dishevelled, mildly injured and his facial hair had grown out. After the whole bounty hunter fiasco, Josiah was feeling down and in need of some sympathy so when you offered to trim his mustache and shave his 5 o’clock shadow, he accepted without a moment of hesitation.
Even though Josiah’s feeling down, he still manages to crack a few jokes while you shave his stubble, starting to let down his guard and relax into your slight touch. This may be a small gesture but it means a lot to him and he’ll definitely be surprising you with some small gifts to show you just how much your help meant to him.
Kieran
Kieran doesn’t put too much effort into shaving. He tries his best to keep his facial hair trimmed neatly but that’s hard to do when you have a small, cracked mirror and you’re using a dull razor.
Kieran can’t remember the last time he’s been to a barber so this is completely out of his norm. To be honest, leaving you trim his facial hair makes Kieran notice how sloppily he usual does it, not realising it’s possible to be so gentle while shaving.
He’s very quiet while you trim his beard, too busy relishing in the sensation to spark up conversation. This is the most relaxed Kieran’s been in a longggg time and although he won’t ever ask you to trim his beard, (he doesn’t want to sound bossy or act as if you have to) if you ever offer to do it again he’ll be very happy to accept.
Lenny
Lenny likes the little bit of facial hair he has. He thinks it makes him look more attractive and he takes pride in his facial hair, trying his best to maintain it on a near daily basis. Lenny wouldn't consider himself to be vain but he definitely likes keeping things neat, often cleaning up any stubble.
When you offer to shave his stubble for him, Lenny's surprised by the suggestion but he actually really likes the idea. He's a tiny bit nervous just because no one this close to him has ever shaved him before but he trusts you and has faith you’ll do a good job..
Lenny finds it very relaxing. He doesn't understand how it's so relaxing when you do it but whenever he shaves his facial hair, it's just boring and nowhere near as calming. He could definitely get used to this, appreciating how much effort you put into it and honestly if you kept doing it for another few minutes, he may have drifted off to sleep.
Okay, time for peer review. What should I do with my hair? (yes I know I should already have made a decision and I said I would cut it a while ago but I have anxiety so hush)
Leave it the way it is (Waist length and so thick I can’t hold all of it in one hand)
Shave one side (My right)
Shave both sides and the back (So it still leaves a bunch of hair and I can in theory flip hair over either side and stuff)
If anyone wants I will reblog with the pro con lists I made
YES CASS!! That feeling is like pure content, I had a bath last night and took time like shaving and shit but then as soon as I got in bed I couldn't stop like moving my legs 😂😂
right!?!?! idk the first time i shaved and i did that it felt so weird but also nice and now its the only thing i look forward to when shaving my legs lololol
