Title: Snip

Disclaimers: Gundam Wing ain't mine, blah blah.

Note: A drabble is a 100 word piece of writing. It's an exercise in discipline to try and keep as close as possible to that limit.

The cold, metal scissors glinted under the harsh, artificial light. Duo held them gingerly with one hand, eyeing them with trepidation. In his other hand, he clutched his beloved braid. It needed to be done, he knew that, but it didn't make it any easier.

Gritting his teeth, he raised his scissors to his hair, and took a deep breath. Before he could have second thoughts, he forced his fingers to move…

Snip.

He watched the fragments of hair float to the floor in morbid fascination, sniffing slightly. Damn split ends, he thought, flicking his braid back over his shoulder.
