Second update of the day! I got school done early so... :D This was prompted by charismaxoxo!

Mara knocked softly on Jerome's door and quietly called his name. When he didn't answer she poked her head around it and found Jerome standing in front of a mirror, running his fingers through his hair.

"Jerome? Is everything alright?" she asked, stepping in.

"Hey, Mara." He greeted, and then turned to her. "Does my hair look okay?"

"Great, as always," Mara smiled.

"It's longer," He said simply turning back to the mirror.

She looked at him closely. Jerome was right, it was a bit longer. His blonde hair was shaggier and it hung over his ears. Now that it was so long, it didn't stay back when he ran his fingers through the strands; locks of it hung on the side of his face, bordering his light blue eyes.

"You're right; it is longer." Mara stared at him for another before shrugging and taking his hand, dragging him out of the room. "I'll cut it later, after school."

"What," Jerome froze.

"Just a trim; around the ears, in the back," Mara motioned to the places. "Maybe a little in the front…"

"Have you ever cut hair before?" Jerome asked cautiously.

"Of course," she rolled her eyes and continued out of the house. "For Amber, Joy, Patricia—"

"Any guy's hair," he cut in.

"I did Eddie's once,"

"What,"

"Come on," Mara sighed.

"Alright…" Mara circled Jerome, who sat in a chair in front of the mirror, watching his girlfriend warily. "We'll start with the front and work out way back, okay?"

"I trust you with this," Jerome turns to her and gave her a meaningful look.

"I know; now hush and let me cut," she spun him away from the mirror and began her work.

She ran a small black comb through his hair after wetting it slightly and inspected its full length. She trimmed a bit off in the front and Jerome tapped his foot on the floor nervously. Mara rolled her eyes. Couldn't he let her do this and trust that'll look great? She trimmed a bit more off the front. Jerome's fingers thudded against his thighs as she cut around his left ear.

"Would you relax," Mara said softly, kissing his cheek and moving to his right ear.

Jerome just sighed and stopped his foot but his fingers continued their steady rhythm.

Mara continued around him and once she was finished with the back, she turned him around to look in the mirror.

"Hey, you fixed it," Jerome smiled at his reflection, his hair as perfect as always.

"Let me just see if everything's even," Mara stepped in front of him again. She ran her left hand through his hair and played with the hair at the nape of his neck with her right.

"Is it all level?" Jerome asked, looking up at her.

"Mm-hm." She nodded, her hands not leaving his blonde locks.

"Then why—"

"I just like the feeling of your hair between my fingers," she cut him off.

"Same here," he smirked, threading her black hair in between his pale fingers.

She kissed him quickly on the lips and moved behind him. His fingers fell from her hair and she took hers from his. Mara looked at their reflection as she wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her head on her arm next to his head.

"So, what will you do next time you need a haircut?" she asked him.

"Trust you because you did a fantastic job," Jerome replied.

"Good boy," she kissed his cheek and left the room.

Jerome blew out a breath and ran his hand through his hair again.

How'd y'all like it? I thought it was cute. Thanks for promptin' this charisma!
