Chapter 10!
It's been a while since I've done something with Tiger's Bite, I am still working on updating it so no worries, so this was a welcome little side scenario of Itsuka and Izumi at 21 and still dating as opposed to married like the first side story. Either way, always good fun to write my favorite pair.

Enjoy, more notes at the end!
Style Switch
*Itsuka POV*
"Are you really sure about this?" Itsuka asked again as she stood behind her girlfriend who was sitting in front of her and frowning in annoyance.
"How many times I gotta tell ya?" Izumi griped, leaning her head over the back of her chair and looking up at the orange haired woman.
"Can you really not just go to a hair place?" she tried, still unsure of why she had agreed to this, and the greenette let out a loud sigh.
"We got all tha stuff here ta do it don't we?" Izumi reasoned while giving a swipe of her hand at the laid out items, "It's just a bit of hair!" the green haired woman exclaimed as if it was so simple.
Itsuka could only give an exasperated grumble at how certain the other woman was that it would be fine. Izumi had been getting irritated with one side of her hair and decided on a whim, like much of her decisions, that she'd just get an undercut so here they were. The orange haired woman was the one with the clippers though because Izumi had basically handed them to her and told her to get to it.
"I've never done this before," Itsuka reminded her girlfriend although she knew the other woman wasn't expecting her to be perfect about it.
"Just follow tha instructions," the greenette shrugged, fully trusting her but the orange haired woman knew that might not be the end of it.
"Well," Itsuka breathed, "here I go," she said quietly as she readied herself for this.
She sectioned off the greenette's hair quickly, double checking the upcoming steps, and took the scissors to shorten the part that she'd be taking the clippers to. However, just before she started, Itsuka shared one last look with Izumi.
"Also," Itsuka's girlfriend cut in with a serious look, "if ya fuck this up then I'm cutting yer hair tha same way," the greenette stated matter of factly and Itsuka knew there would be a catch but it didn't stop her from reacting.
"How's that fair?!" the now annoyed orange haired woman huffed, "this is your idea and I'm just helping!" Itsuka told her while jabbing a finger into the side of her head.
"Then just don't fuck it up," Izumi grumbled, doing her best to not react to Itsuka's prodding.
"Yeah thanks," the orange haired woman said sarcastically with a roll of her eyes, "the things I do for you."
"We've been together fer 5 years," Izumi reminded and of course Itsuka realized how well they knew each other and how little their relationship had changed, "ya still surprised?"
"Still annoyed more accurately," the orange haired woman complained with a sigh through gritted teeth.
"Yeah, yeah," Izumi brushed off and Itsuka gave her a last flick on her ear.
"Comfy," she asked her girlfriend while she resumed handling her hair.
"Yup," Izumi breathed quietly, "feels pretty good ta be honest," she admitted and Itsuka gave a short laugh as the greenette leaned into her touch.
"Only the lower left side and some of the back huh?" she asked, poking at the areas to make sure it was what the green haired girl wanted.
"Mmhm," her girlfriend nodded, giggling a little from Itsuka tracing her fingers through her hair, "gotta figure out if I like it or not," she noted and the orange haired woman nodded at the words.
Itsuka had already shortened out the areas that she'd be buzzing and her girlfriend got a goofy grin on her face as she went for the clippers.
"What's got you laughing there?" she poked, already anticipating something silly from the greenette who couldn't keep her smile off her face.
"Just thinkin' about what I'll do if I look real good and ya can't keep yer hands off me," Izumi imagined with a bark of laughter and Itsuka just gave an amused shake of her head.
"I'm the one cutting your hair," she laughed back, "it's not like you'll be surprising me with a sudden style change.
"Yeah but I'll still look a bit different," Izumi grinned cheekily, "it's tha little things Mikan Head."
"Sure, sure," Itsuka hummed, plenty used to the nickname, "now don't move, I don't want to mess up."
The orange haired woman tried not to crack a smile at how hard her girlfriend was trying to stay still but she quickly and neatly shaved away at the shortened part of hair. Itsuka took a few extra minutes to clean it up before setting everything aside and taking a look at her handiwork. She brought her hand up to give the buzzed part a little touch and a tingly sensation ran through her as she prodded at the undercut section. Itsuka hadn't even realized how mesmerized she had been until she heard her girlfriend chuckle.
"Ya done up there?" Izumi snickered in amusement, still sitting patiently while the orange haired woman played with her hair.
"Just a bit more," Itsuka replied, just a bit fascinated by the change, "it feels super nice," she said aloud as she continued to run her hand along the now fuzzy feeling part of hair.
"Ya know I can do tha same," Izumi offered in amusement, "then ya can have as much fun as ya want."
"I can already do that just with your hair," Itsuka reasoned and the greenette rolled her eyes.
"I told ya."
"Hmm?"
"Can't keep yer hands off me."
"You want me to cut more hair?"
"I was kidding!"
Notes and Stuff
This may have just come up because I have really long hair and I gave myself an undercut on one of the sides cause it was bugging me. I also can't stop running my hand against it so I had to put that in too. I could totally see this Izumi getting a small one cause she was annoyed with some of her hair one day or it was too hot or something. Both in Tiger's Bite and Hunt, Izumi just goes for things on a whim and Itsuka usually finds herself along for the ride.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed and look forward to more updates from me!
