Disclaimer: For this prompt and all future ones in 'Idiosyncrasy' I DO NOT OWN The Powerpuff Girls. No money is being made off of this, it is purely for my own entertainment.
Idiosyncrasy -a characteristic, habit, mannerism, or the like, that is peculiar to an individual.
Nothing to say about this prompt, really. I was thinking about what to write, and 'soap' popped into my head...
But I will say that I like Brick with long hair, so yeah, he has long hair.
SOAP
''Hold still; stop fidgeting.''
Brick deemed the command to be unworthy of even a mumbled grumbling under the breath. He shifted, grimacing as some suds began to slip down his forehead. Blossom hurriedly swiped them away before they could reach his eyes and gave an admonishing tug to his hair.
''What did I just say?''
He shifted again -just out of spite, really, than discomfort. This time liquid slid down his neck, ran over his chest, and dropped into the rippling pool below. He scowled, glaring down into the water.
''Eyes closed,'' She warned. He managed to shut his eyes just as a bucket of warm water was dumped on his head. He sputtered as his long reddish-orange hair fell all over his face, following the same path as the water droplet into the water.
She gathered his hair into her arms once again, and he could feel the cold sting of the conditioner as she squirted nearly half the bottle into his thick mane. He leaned back against the tub as she massaged it into his scalp, her ministrations soothing as he relaxed in the warm bathwater and allowed his mind to temporarily shut down.
After a while he felt a delicate hand come over to cover his eyes, and tensed. As water once again slid down his head and over her hand he managed to force himself to relax again.
She ruined it by tossing a towel over his head and rubbing down his scalp roughly.
He grunted in irritation, which earned him a pinch on the cheek.
''Be nice, I did just wash your hair.''
At this he turned around to face her, making sure that the water remained above waste level. ''I didn't ask you to. I was taking a bath.''
She pursed her lips. ''Your hair was getting dirty. It's too long for you to just go a month without washing it.''
He rolled his eyes. ''I don't care.''
She rolled her eyes. ''I do. You're not allowed to have such pretty hair and not take care of it.''
He scowled, turning back around so she could finish toweling off his head. ''I do wash it.''
''No,'' She retorted. ''You submerge it in the water when you take a bath, run your hands through it, and call it clean.''
''I use soap.''
''Soap is meant for the body. You need to use shampoo and conditioner for long hair like yours.'' This was coming from someone else whose hair practically swept the floor, so apparently she would know.
She took the towel off his head, tossing it behind her to be picked up later.
''Can you leave now? I would very much like to finish bathing, mind you.''
His hair was still piled in her arms to keep it from hanging over the edge of the tub and onto the floor. Shrugging to herself, she sat down, draping the damp locks over her lap and pulling out a comb from her back pocket. ''Go ahead,'' She replied offhandedly as she began to de-knot his hair. ''Nobody's stopping you.''
He opened his mouth to retort, then snapped it shut, unsure what to say to that. He finally settled on a snappish, ''You're still in here.''
''And?'' She tugged on a particularly hard knot and he winced. ''I'm back here. I can't see anything.''
''Leave,'' He bit out.
''Your hair is still tangled. If I don't comb it out now it will be that much harder when it's dry.''
''...Get out.'' That came out as more of a whine than a command, they both noted, and Brick sunk lower in the water, his cheeks pink.
They sat in silence for the next few minutes, before Brick sat up with a sigh. Blossom reached up and grabbed a washcloth from the sink, handing it to him. Brick took it, and Blossom knew he was blushing fiercely, because the back of his neck was red.
She giggled at his predicament, and Brick mentally bashed his head into the shower head above.
Hope you enjoyed that. If you did and you want this to continue, you only need to send me a pairing and a prompt. The prompt can be a single word, a list of items, or an entire summary, if you want.
The pairing can be any combination of RrB/PpG. Ex: Reds, Blues, Greens, BrickXButtercup, ButchXBubbles, etc.
