Hairstyles & Height Differences
Chapter 1: Curls & Coppertops
Pairing: Trish/Dez, side Austin/Ally

A multi-chapter fic featuring Trez from multiple perspectives. This will still be in third person rather than first, but will give recounts and opinions from other characters about Trish and Dez's relationship. This chapter is from Austin's perspective, next will be Ally, then Lester, and I think I'll do Trish and Dez at the end. The events mentioned aren't really on a chronological timeline, but it will sometimes refer to certain episodes.

Dez and Trish seemed to be fascinated by eachother's hair. It took him a while to notice, because he was Austin and was often oblivious, but he noticed.

He remembered one time when they were at Sonic Boom, up in the practice room one afternoon. He and Ally had been working on a song, while Dez was on the couch complaining.

'I'm so bored! Can't we do something fun? Like bake a cake? Or buy a foreign animal? Or build a fort out of instruments? Or make-'

He was cut off by Ally, 'We're busy, Dez, why can't you do any of those yourself? We really need to finish this song!'

Dez groaned in protest, before Trish entered the room dramatically, dressed in a black skirt that flared out from her waist, held up by leopard print suspenders.

'Ugh, I'm so tired, do you know I've been fired from five jobs already this week? And I just got a new job at the suspender store down the road, can you believe they actually expect me to work?'

'Hey, you didn't do your thing...' Dez said with a frown.

Trish sighed before complying to his request, 'Guess who got a job at the suspender store...?'

Dez grinned and clapped, while Trish smiled tiredly back at him for his childish antics.

She then headed over to the couch, but Dez was still sitting in the middle with arms spread out, taking all the space.

'Move over, Doofus,' Trish said in a threatening tone, causing Dez to quickly shuffle over to one side. She lay down and put her feet on his lap, closing her eyes.

'Hey Trish, we're matching!' Dez grinned, pointing to her suspenders while snapping his own rainbow ones. He winced when they snapped back on his chest, hard. Trish opened one eye, before closing it again and ignoring him.

Austin and Ally watched the pair, silently hoping they'd leave so they could work on their song. A moment of silence allowed them to finally turn back to their song writing.

'How about this?' Ally played a few chords on the piano, but as Austin was about to reply their momentary peace was again broken.

'Stop tickling my feet you whackadoodle! You're so annoying!' Trish shouted at Dez, before turning her body around so now her head was in his lap instead. Dez, in his state of boredom, immediately started playing with her hair.

Trish looked on for a moment, confused, as the redhead twisted strands of her hair in his fingers. He pulled one tight curl out straight, then watched it in amusement as it sprung back to a ringlet.

'Quit it, Dez, you're going to make it go frizzy,' Trish said with a grimace, however her tone of voice wasn't threatening enough to make him stop.

'But it's so pretty... Can I braid it? Please, pretty please?'

Trish agreed, as she was too tired to fight, and was actually quite enjoying the feeling of his hands running through her curls.

Austin and Ally had stopped paying attention to the bickering duo, and instead had been able to finish their song. They hugged in celebration before turning around to the couch, wondering what had made Dez and Trish stop fighting.

They were met with the sight of Trish softly snoring, her head in Dez's lap, while he braided small sections of her hair at a time. He was onto his last section, and tied a hair elastic onto the end of the braid as Austin and Ally watched in disbelief.

Trish seemed to like Dez's hair a lot too, Austin thought back to all the times when she would ruffle the redhead's hair up, just to annoy him.

And whenever she had to list his redeeming features, she would always mention his hair colour.

'Your hair is red... Your name is Dez?'

He smiled up at her and put his hand on her shoulder.

'Thanks, Trish' [1]

There was also that one time he posted a photo on tweeter of the four of them with a fan. The little girl had a big head of red curls, and one person commented that if Dez and Trish had a daughter it would look like her. Because of the hair. [2]

Austin had always wondered why Trish had such a strange reaction when he showed her the comment. Instead of a shower of insults like he expected, she just laughed awkwardly and was pretty quiet for a while after.

Maybe she's hiding something?

Austin had thought about this before, the possibility of Dez and Trish having a relationship someday. He was somewhat scared and confused and excited about it at the same time.

But that's ridiculous, right? Dez and Trish couldn't actually like each other that way, right?

(Wrong. You're still pretty oblivious, aren't you, Austin?)
