Louis's Chapter

Hair silliness

"This one looks silly on you"

"Eh?! no way!"

"Why don't you try this hair clip here instead?"

It had started off as a lazy afternoon in the Asahina complex. Louis had the day off from styling people's hair, so he was left with nothing to do to occupy his time. The person who would usually provide him with the raw materials he needed, Fuuto, was away on tour. He wouldn't be coming back for another month or so. Everyone else was either at work, at practice or drowning in school work. The only other person around the household was Wataru, his baby brother. Normally, he would be spending the afternoon taking long lazy naps, but he didn't feel tired at all. He had an unusual amount energy today, which was really weird for him since he's usually very sleepy.

Wataru was the one who came up to him and wanted play with him. Naturally, the sleepy hairdresser couldn't say no to a kid like him. For some odd reason, instead of dragging him to his room, Wataru chose to go to Louis's room instead. Wouldn't it have been better if he dragged him into HIS room instead?

"What are you doing" Louis asked as he watched the younger boy bouncing around his room looking for something.

Wataru stopped at where his hair accessories where stored and took out a bunch of ribbons, hair ties and clips. What was that boy planning on doing? Wataru walked over to his brother and began to undo his ponytail for him. He then began to messily braid that section. Taking out a red and white polka dotted ribbon, he tied the ribbon off on the end of that braid. As a professional hair dresser, he was probably crying on the inside about how badly done this braid was done. But since this was his little brother, he couldn't say anything that could hurt his feelings.

Instead, he took a hair tie that had strawberries on it and began to put a french braid into the pink haired boy's hair. After he finished, he tied it off with the strawberry hair tie.

"Now we match." Louis said with a smile as he got a mirror out.

Wataru now couldn't help but feel self conscious as he looked at his reflection in the mirror. Louis's braids were perfect and precise. His were just obscenely messy and sloppy. Louis saw the self consciousness in his face and immediately realized that he had made his little brother sad. So he tried to cheer him up instead.

"It's not bad for your first try, but I can show you how to make it better. Would you like me to show you how?"

Wataru nodded as he plopped down beside Louis. He watched with amazement as Louis's long and slender fingers weaved and (neatly) bundled sections of hair together with ease. Louis was surprisingly very patient and calm, even when Wataru was probably tangling and putting all sorts of knots into his hair. This second braid was still a little messy, but a lot better than the first one. Before long, both brothers were now experimenting with each other's hair. Louis's soft platinum hair was now covered in assorted hair clips, ribbons and braids that would make anyone gawk at him if he went out in public like that. Wataru on the other hand had his hair sticking out in all different directions, being held in place by an assortment of hair ties and scrunchies.

They both couldn't help but laugh at how silly each other looked. And let's face it, they did look ridiculous. There was no denying that when Masaomi came to get them both for dinner. He took one look at them and promptly started laughing uncontrollably. So they both double teamed him and started putting all sorts of things in his hair as well. Ukyo and the rest of the family had nothing to say to them when they came back some time later, their eldest brother now sporting bunny hair clips in his hair. Some things were better left unanswered after all.
