💥 ― a memory you wish you’d forget. ( any muse!! ) // asked by @wieldingfuture , from the memory lane prompts !
There’s a lot of memories he finds himself wishing to forget.. but one that sticks out the most is waking up one morning to find his hair dyed blonde. It’d been a morning like any other, waking up and trudging to the bathroom to give his face a good wash when he noticed it. At first he thought he’d been seeing things wrong, quickly rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and running a hand through his hair - when could this have even happened!?
His breath hitches as he turns away and towards the rooms exit once more, his first thought to return to their bedroom and question Vanessa about the situation - only to find her already standing at the doorway.
“Oh - good morning, Vanessa! You.. wouldn’t happen to have any idea about this, would you? I went to sleep and now I’ve woken up to it like this!! Who could have done this!? Hopefully it isn’t long term, but -” He cuts himself off once he notices a frown carve itself into her face, a look of disappointment staring through him.
“You don’t like it, do you? I wanted it to be a surprise.. so both of us could match. I only did it because I knew you’d love the idea..” ”You mean.. you did this? It’s - Vanessa, as.. as lovely as it looks, I really wish that you’d given me a warning - or, or at least asked before..” A small frost slowly forming around her fingertips makes him reconsider.
A moments hesitance before a smile is forced onto his features, forcing the panic and sick feeling in his stomach down.
”.. I’m sorry. I suppose I’m just not used to such a change - ! But I’m sure I’ll love it once I’m used to it, really - thank you, for this.”
There really was no reason for him to be upset, even if the memory leaves an uneasy pit in his stomach. Afterall, why wouldn’t he want to look how she wanted him to?
