Drabble Challenge: Urban Myth
"Whoosh! There you are, sir!" Axel, in hairdresser mode, twirled Marluxia's chair around to face a mirror when he was done with his "work."
"AHHHHHH!" Marluxia shrieked, "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?" His eyes started tearing up.
"Whaaat? You said you wanted a hair cut! So, I, uhh….chopped off….a much-needed centimeter or two." Axel help his hand up in defense.
"A centimeter or two? MUCH-NEEDED? HOW ABOUT CUTTING OFF NINE INCHES WHEN I ONLY ASKED FOR A SHORT TRIM TO TAKE CARE OF SPLIT ENDS? HUHHHH?" Marluxia jumped up from his chair and threw off the fabric draping that had been placed on him to keep from getting hair on his organization cloak.
"Yeah, well…" Axel's glare turned intense and fiery, "HOW BOUT I BURN THE REST OFF?" Fire appeared around Axel, who was holding his chakrams up around him.
"Eh, no thank you. I'LL JUST GET YOU BACK, YOU, YOU…SPIKY-HAIRED WILLIWASH PUNK!" In an instant, a flurry of rose petals surrounded Marluxia. The two force fields were about to collide, when…
"Ahem. No fighting in my castle, children!" Xemnas's voice rang throughout the vicinity via the intercom.
"Darn cameras…." Marluxia sneered.
"Geez, Marluxia, how mnay days straight now have you been eating bread crusts?" Demyx exclaimed.
Marluxia held his finger up, motioning for Demyx to wait until he was done chomping for an answer. "10 days." Marluxia sniffled, those terrifying memories returning to him.
"AHHH! MARMAR!" Demyx pulled a wrapped cheeseburger out of his cloak and thrust it in Marluxia's face. "EAT THIS OR YOU'LL DIE FROM MALNUTRITION!"
Marluxia was tempted, but replied dramatically, "NO. Just give this diet ten more days. My hair needs to grow back as quickly as possible, and bread-crusts are the only things that will speed the process!"
Demyx burst out laughing, then proceeded to "roll on the floor laughing," pounding the ground. "Marluxia—you…sniff…know that's just an urban myth, right?" he yelped, catching his breath and wiping a tear from his eye.
"Huff!" Marluxia huffed, "I don't believe you! It works!" With that, he marched out of the room with the same amount of dignity as always, just less hair…
"Demyx, Demyx!" Marluxia skipped up to his strange blonde faux-hawk/mullet-possessing buddy.
"Yes, Marly?"
"The bread crusts really worked! My hair grew a whole two more inches in only twenty days! Pow! Would ya look at THAT?"
Demyx stared at Marluxia's hair and replied, "THAT'S AWESOME," but in reality, he could barely notice a difference, and would never be able to understand girl talk…
Axel had to stifle his chuckles as he strolled by whistling happily, pretending not to notice Marluxia's glares. He made sure to stuff the package of Rogaine he had snuck into the kitchen's supply of bread flour just a bit deeper into his pocket.
