Ponytail
"Fucking son of a bitch!" I heard Mello's dulcet tones say accompanied by loud bangings and crashing sounds from the small bathroom we had in our apartment. I shook my head smiling slightly as I concentrated on the game in my hand.
Mello had always been a loud verbose person. I mean, it comes with the territory. He's a trigger happy badass mafia boss wearing leather who has a complex for being in first place. It kinda comes with the territory. But I was used to it. I didn't even flinch when he raised his voice. Which was basically all the time. He lost his voice once. Now that scared the shit out of me. But normally he was only this loud in the bathroom in the morning….
Wait. Lazily my eyes focused on the digital clock balanced precariously on some empty pizza boxes. Seven thirty AM…. Well it wasn't like I had stayed up all night gaming before. I shrugged barely perturbed by my obliviousness.
"GOD DAMNIT!"
Oh right. Mello. Screaming in the bathroom. This was normal. Mello spent an abnormal amount of time in the bathroom in the morning. Mainly because he blow-dried his hair and then straightened it. But I don't judge. I just spent nine hours straight playing Pokemon. And that was without adding the difference in our addictions. Chocolate versus cigarettes. Now who was most likely gonna end up dead from lung cancer? Me!
"Shit!"
I heard the clattering of what I assumed was either the hair dryer or straightener. Probably the straightener if I interpreted Mello's hiss of pain right.
"Fuck it all!"
More loud noises accompanied by under the breath cursing. I grinned knowing what was coming next.
I was not disappointed. Mello came storming out of the bathroom, scowling of course, with his blonde hair pulled back at the nape of his neck into what could only be described as a ponytail. But the icing on the cake was that he had used clips to hold back the strands that were too short to make it in the ponytail.
He glared at me, daring me to say anything. I didn't disappoint.
"Nice ponytail, Mells."
"Shut the fuck up, Matt."

I'd like to thank Miss Bright for reminding me how good Mello looked in a ponytail as well as Jayne Foyer for coming up with the last two lines.
