Edit: May 16: I've decided to change the name of this fic from "Full Deck" to "The Wings of Life" as I found out there's already a similar fic about Ren/Makoto one-shots out there called "A Deck of Cards" and while this was a coincidence, I don't want this to be seen as plagiarism since the titles and concept of the fics are similar so I decided to make the change
"Do you think I should grow out my hair?"
"What? God no"
Oh no, shoot it down faster...
"Why?" She asked, pacing around the dusty attic where he lived, a finger twiddling the back of her hair
"I like your hair" Was his simple response as he looked up from the book he was reading "I don't know why'd you want to change it"
"Well..." She hummed as she began approaching the bed he was sat down on "I just thought a change might not be so bad"
And then she creaked her head to him and asked the question that would unload the can of worms
"What about you?"
"What about me?"
"Well..." She sighed as she reached over and placed her hand on the black shaggy mop he called his hair "You could do with a trim"
The black abyss that was his hair had completely consumed her hand, it was tangled in there like a fly in a spider-web. Her solution was to slowly glide her hand to the back of his head to gently ease it out, in the process pulling his hair back, electing a slight grimace from him as his hair was yanked back, exposing his forehead
Now see here, it was perfectly okay to find a certain part of your partner attractive, maybe their muscles, sculpted jaw, the shape of their nose, or their butt, that was his favorite part of her after all...
But for Makoto Niijima, her weakness was Ren Amamiya's forehead
There was just something about being able to see his eyebrows and how the light bounced off his skin that just made him so goddamn gorgeous
"Maybe you should slick it back..."
"I like my hair" He sighed, easing his Queen's hand out of his hair
"That makes one of us" She groaned, planting her behind on the mattress
"Look..." Ren grunted as he placed the book down, and leaned over to her, looking directly into her deep crimson eyes "Don't hate me for saying this, buuuut..."
One sharp inhale later...
"I've only just recently realized how much you look like your sister and quite frankly if you grew your hair out, you'd look just like her and that'd be weird"
...
"Oh god you're right that would be weird..."She whispered in horror
"Thank you" Ren nodded, returning to his position "Besides..."
"Besides?"
"I like short haired girls..." He said with a sly smile
...
"So if I had long hair, we wouldn't be dating, is that what you're saying?"
"For gods sak-THAT'S NOT-"
A sudden tackle from her interrupted his sentence, she made sure to take advantage of his shock and pin his wrists down
"You really need to learn to take a joke, Joker" She smirked before moving to claim his lips, a few breathless seconds later; ""Although I still wouldn't mind seeing you try slicking back your hair for a change"
"Oh, I don't think so Queen" Ren chuckled "I can't be bought with a simple ki-"
"You know...when we were walking through Shinjuku the other day" She interrupted as she traced his belly button through his shirt with her finger "We passed by that...adult store?"
Oh my god
"I noticed you peeking at that little number in the window every time we passed by..."
OH MY GOD
"Well they have an online store" She hummed with a smile "Aaannnd..."
"Not...the High-Cut Armor!" Ren gasped
"I was going to bust it out on your birthday" She smirked "But maybe if you do this one little thing for me, I'd be feeling...generous"
...
"I'll get some gel" He declared as he leapt off the bed, practically throwing Makoto off him
"Get wax, it holds better"
"Will do!" Was his parting word as he dashed down the stairs
As he vanished, Makoto let out a hefty sigh and pulled out her phone
Guess she had to buy that perverted get-up now...
