Beautiful Blue Hair
Kira was blow-drying Athrun's hair. The latter sat at the foot of the couch, flipping through a magazine. Kira ran a finger deftly through the wet strands, flipping them sideways and aiming his dryer solemnly at the roots.
Athrun didn't like blow-drying his hair. Or, at least, he didn't like to do it himself. The first time Kira offered to do it, Athrun had shaken his wet head, saying, "No, Kira, I'm fine. I like it like this." But Kira had insisted, grabbing the dryer and brandishing it like a gun until Athrun sat down with a sigh, looking annoyed.
Kira liked to do this. It gave him an excuse to touch Athrun's hair (Athrun didn't like his hair being touched), and he found it relaxing. It was a semi-tradition for the two now, and after a long day, Kira would thumb gently through the beautiful blue hair until it became soft and fluffy. Despite his insistence on drying the other's hair, Kira didn't allow Athrun to touch his own…after all, Athrun might make it messy, and he didn't want that.
"I'm tired," Athrun suddenly announced, flinging his magazine to the ground and standing up. It slid halfway under the couch. Blow dryer still running, Kira blinked in surprise as Athrun abruptly leaned over him, casually bumping lips. "I'm going to bed." Athrun straightened. Kira felt damp hair brush his cheek, and smelled soap.
"Good night," Athrun called, and then he disappeared into the bedroom.
"'Night."
A few moments after Athrun had gone, Kira shut off the blow dryer with an annoyed hiss. It was such a noisy thing.
