Another translation but from a collection of mine.
I do not own Tales of Symphonia , neither I do not own their characters.
Enjoy!
Just a little story of hair
Yuan Ka-Fai had always been proud of himself. Without any bad pride. It is true that Yuan almost succeded in everything he wanted to do. And still without any bad pride, without becoming a Narcissus, he was proud of his apprearance, especially for his hair. Long, smooth and blue and Martel loved to caress. This is why Yuan took care of his hair so well. So that Martel remained present once more in his heart, already full of her memories. And when he would die, she would have the pleausre of caress it once more, as she knew it before.

If Zelos Wilder let his hair long, it was not for coquetry and it was not because he wanted to have more sex-appeal either. Zelos Wilder was a bit lazy for this part of his body. He washed it and took care of it of course but he let it free/ He knew nothing of the art of a ponytail or of a braid. So, when Lloyd asked him if he could help him with his hair, he always answered yes. The fact of knowing nothing about how to dress his hair had an advantage, at least Zelos and Lloyd spent an agreable and a funny moment together.
This is why nowadays, Zelos Wilder still does not know how to dress hir hair up.

When Lloyd was a child, Kratos ofetn brushed his hair. A woman's activity will you say? For Kratos, it was not the case. He loved to brush his little one's hair because each time, Little Lloyd was playing on his knees, telling him which games he played with Mommy or with Noishe. Kept away from his child for fourteen years, the woman of his life dead, the Seraphim terribly missed this ritual, praying when he went to bed « I do not want to see the sun rise tomorrow ».
Soon after their reunion, Lloyd confessed to him that he had a few memories of his childhood but it seems he forgot this moment. One morning, he joined his father, his hair down. The ressemblance was greater. He had two rubber bands for hair and a brush in his hand. Lloyd asked to his father if he could help him with his hair.
' Just like when I was little!' He added
For the first time since he brushed his son's hair, Kratos did not not smiling but crying. How could he wish not to see the sun rise anymore?

As far a he could remember, Mithos Yggdrasill always knew Pronyma with her beautiful green hair tied up.
' It is more convenient for working' She explained once
It was just an excuse for Mithos.
And yet, he dreamt of seeing his beloved pronyma with her hair down. So he made sure he would see it by taking away all of her rubber bands. So, it was a hair down Pronyma he saw the following day. She was more beautiful, if it was possible, more sexy... And Mithos could not help kissing her.
' See? It is excatly why I keep my hair tied up. If I don't, you're jumping on me.'
And apparently, it did not bother her that much.

Since her childhood, Colette Brunel let her blond hair grow up freely. Not for her though. She did not mind having it long or short. It did not matter until a enamored, aged ten, Lloyd said to her one day:
' Your hair is so beautiful! It has the sun's colour! So, even if it is raining, I just have to see it and my day is illuminated!'
Since this day, she let it grow up, becoming monger and longer, so that « the sun » could be greater, so that Lloyd's days could be illuminated throughout his life.
He was grateful. Today, the number of jewels and strips made by Lloyd for Colette is around three hundred and twelve, without counting his others gifts, especially a small human being having their blood and about to be born.

One day, Presea broke her arm by falling off a rheard. And of course, she broke the arme she wrote with. How would she managed to do her ponytails, the ones Alicia taught her to do, the ones she did everyday no matter what? This question bothered her for a long time since she did not want to bother anybody with such trivial things.
The day following her accident, Genis came to see her with a brush and rubber bands.
' I was thinking that yoy might need help for you hair...' He said blushing
She agreed. For two months, « her little knight », like Regal called him, helped her to dress her hair up and for others things.
Since that ecent, when Presea dressed her hair up, it was not only because Alicia taught her how to do ponytails anymore. It was also because Genis loved her. And he was loved by her.
The End ?
