For Nadie- because she wanted to see Hisagi doing his hair
Hisagi (with Yumichika, Yachiru, Ikkaku, Kira Renji, and Matsumoto)
Highlights
Shuuhei sat in front of a mirror. He was not a particularly vain man, and he did not bother much about his face or the scars that laced it, but there was something vital to him about his hair. He couldn't explain it, despite all the people who had asked- it was just something he liked to perfect.
What he didn't like, was people interrupting him whilst he did it.
"Waaahh! You look so beautiful, Lieutenant!"
The door was slammed in Yumichika's face as the fifth seat caught sight of him with his damp hair in tendrils down his face, fresh out of the shower.
He had only just restored his cool when a large weight barrelled into his back as Yachiru threw herself at what she had mistakenly assumed to be a new fabric monster for her to 'play' with- unfortunately, since that monster was Hisagi towelling the water out of his hair, it hurt.
A lot.
As did his pride when, three minutes later, Ikkaku barged in, trying to find his Lieutenant, who he was supposed to be watching, catching Shuuhei with a hairdryer.
"Ha! Fuckin' girl!"
"You're jealous, ass, that I can grow some and you can't."
He shoved Ikkaku out before the spluttering man could protest, and sat down in front of his mirror to try and finish his morning practise in peace.
Several minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and before he went to open it he made sure that all incriminating evidence was hidden away from sight. In the hallway, Kira looked flustered, carrying a large folder. He was, it transpired, looking for Renji, who needed to counter-sign a rather weighty report on a hollow attack that had involved squads of shinigami from both divisions.
Unfortunately, as Kira explained this, he caught sight of a tube of product that made the hair silky-smooth that Shuuhei had overlooked, tucked just in sight behind a chair. Kira made a grab for it.
"Oh, Matsumoto gave me some of this. Does it work?"
Shuuhei blinked. Not too bad.
Unfortunately, that was the moment that Renji decided to appear, having followed directions to where Kira had last been spotted. His sentiment rather mirrored Ikkaku, but Hisagi did not even have the jealousy excuse. Renji has a nice head of hair.
When Matsumoto arrived behind them, looking for Yachiru, (who, he could tell by the screams and bangs, was still in his division headquarters) who was late for a SWA meeting, he had had enough.
She stared at him thoughtfully, head on one side.
"You know, you might look nice with some highlights."
Hisagi, in a final fit of pique, threw his brush at the mirror.
The long crack that distorted the view of his unfinished hair did not make him feel any better, at all.
