He shrinks away in horror. "What, like make-up?"
"God no!" I laugh. "A shave. Would you like me to smooth you out?"

I have permission now to look at his face full-on. "No, it doesn't look bad at all. But then again…" I brush my knuckles down his cheek, "…I've always liked a little 5 o'clock shadow."
His eyes turn from the mirror to me.
A/N: Both stories post chapter 36 today! And by total accident, I seem to have repeated one of my lines verbatim in BOTH of the stories! AND I posted a totally silly Christmas one-shot!
MERRY CHRISTMAS FOR REAL THIS TIME! AND TO ALL...A GOOD HAIRCUT. xoxo ~BOH
