Holly getting Hair today (gone tomorrow XD sorry I'm terrible). In this Yuri is 24, JJ is 28
Yuri's never really thought about his hair all that much. He's never cared about it one way or the other, he's just let it grow and let it do it's own thing, only getting it cut at Lilia's insistence. He likes people playing with it, no doubt about that, and he does rather enjoy it when JJ gives it the occasional harsh tug when things get steamy (not that he'd tell JJ but the moans and gasps speak for themselves).
The braids that Lilia puts it into for competitions are very pretty but whenever he tries to do it himself he always ends up in a right mess. The angle is all wrong and after a while it just ends up looking like he's let a five year old braid his hair and today is no different.
He's been struggling with his hair for the best part of ten minutes before he throws his brush down and groans angrily. He hears a chuckle from the doorway and turns to glare at JJ.
"You okay?" JJ asks.
"Hair's pissing me off," Yuri grumbles and turns back to the mirror.
"Want a hand?"
"If you want," Yuri shrugs pretending not to care but having JJ run his fingers through his hair will make him feel so much calmer.
JJ pushes himself off the door-frame and crosses the room to him. He picks up Yuri's brush and begins running it through the knots Yuri's tied it into.
"What were you trying to do?" JJ asks.
"Braid it," Yuri mumbles.
JJ just chuckles as he puts down the brush, his fingers beginning to massage Yuri's scalp. It's so comforting that Yuri may just start purring.
"Hey, I know," Yuri says finally, "grab the clippers, give me an undercut like yours."
JJ laughs. "I'm not doing that."
"Why not?"
"Because I like your hair the way it is."
"Oh..."
"Besides," JJ says after a pause, "if I give you an undercut we'll look the same."
"Eww."
JJ snorts with soft laughter. "Thought you'd say that." He picks up a hair tie and secures Yuri's hair. "All done."
Yuri turns his head so he can see the intricate braid flowing into a small ponytail, like one of his old routines. He turns to JJ, narrowing his eyes at him.
"Since when do you know how to braid hair?" he asks.
"I have a younger sister," JJ replies, shrugging. Yuri turns to look at his hair again. He'll have to ask JJ to teach him how to do that sometime.
