Frowning at his reflection in the mirror, Newt decided yet again that he wasn't allowed to make decisions about his hair again. It seemed like a great idea when he was sitting in the parking lot of the hair salon, but the short cropped hair cut he sported now looked absolutely horrible. Not that the job done was bad, but Newt couldn't help but to despise the look of short hair with his features.
"Gah!" he spat out as he yanked at the ends of his hair. "The things I do in the name of love!" A knock on his front door brought him out of his self-loathing once more. Shuffling over in an attempt to delay the inevitable, Newt slowly answered the door with his head hung low.
"What in the world is all this?" Teresa asked, shock lacing her voice. She reached up and ruffled the blonde locks, an almost disbelieving look on her face. "What brought this on?"
"Tommy didn't like Minho commenting on how much he loved my hair and how he preferred guys with something to hold on to during- well you know," Newt explained, sheepishly. Teresa just shook her head at the pathetic explanation. "I thought it would put his mind a little more at ease. But I've decided anymore decisions like this, I need someone else to make it for me."
"Who's making decisions for you?" Thomas called out from the other side of the door. He trounced his way in with his usual style but abruptly stopped at the sight before him. "Okay, then. I'm going to go find Newt while you get to explain why we intruded in on the wrong apartment, Teresa."
"You don't like it do you?" Newt asked blandly. He gave Thomas a half smile and Thomas' shoulders sagged at the sight. "It's okay, tommy. It'll grow back, eventually."
"I know why you did it and I appreciate you being willing to do this for me. Really, love, I do. But I love you when you are comfortable and you look like you are ready to crack," Thomas soothed. Newt visibly calmed at the words and kissed the corner of Thomas' mouth. Thomas just shrugged his shoulders at Teresa's questioning eyes and plopped down in his usual spot. "I've got a lot of studying to do if I'm going to pass this exam and I'll need all the help I can get. Who is in to help me out?"
