Chapter 5: Haircut
Atemu did not like the sight in front of him. He liked it even less than the sight of Mahado and Isis kissing passionately in front of his bedroom first thing in the morning, and that was hard to top.
However, Mana with a knife talking about a haircut was much worse. Especially considering Mana's experience with haircutting and knives in the first place: none.
"Come on, you know you need a haircut! It's so long and spiky! Plus, I wanna try!" Mana pleaded, trying to reach the boy's hair.
"Mana, you can not cut my hair," Atemu said, trying to be gentle. He didn't want to hurt the girl's feelings, but he didn't want to risk having his head cut open either.
"Please?" Mana pulled out the puppy-dog eyes. The very same ones that made Atemu feel like he was kicking a whole bunch of baby animals when he refused. Then, if he said no, she'd pull the guilt trip and say that he didn't trust her. Then again, if he said yes, he'd likely have a shaved head, or a horrendous haircut.
Hmm... a bad haircut, or Mana ignoring him for weeks?
"Fine," Atemu sighed, sitting down for the girl, who cheered happily and chattered as she went about her work.
"Yay! Hey, did you hear about the baker? Apparently his daughter ran off! Not true of course, I just saw his daughter this morning!" Mana giggled and Atemu flinched to see some of his hair fall off of his head.
"Aren't you just spreading gossip now?" Atemu asked, forgetting that he didn't want to distract her, especially with half of his hair cut.
"Huh? No!" Mana protested for her innocence. She hated gossiping. "Just telling you stuff, so that nothing surprises you later!"
"I see..." Atemu heard voices heading their way and sighed. Just what he needed, people to watch while Mana cut his hair. However...
"That's Mahado! I have to go, he'll kill me if he finds out I'm not studying! Oh, and I forgot to do the prank today! I'll see you later!" Mana gasped and ran off before Atemu could remind her that she hadn't finished his hair yet.
"Mana..." Atemu sighed, shaking his head. Now he had to find someone to help him out. Or find Mana when she wasn't hiding from her master.
Mahado walked into the courtyard, leading Isis, not even noticing Atemu there. Once they started to kiss, Atemu snuck away. He might as well tell Mana her lessons were most likely canceled for the day. Mahado hadn't looked like he was leaving the courtyard anytime soon.
And maybe he could get her to finish the haircut too...
