059: Let Them All Walk Away

[contract_star]

[Hei is at his hut again. He's sitting on the bottom step, leaning tiredly against the railing. By now it's clear that he's been growing his hair out, as it's now down to his chin.]

[There's a single, half-empty bowl of ramen with him as well as a tumblerful of something alcoholic. A basic, composition notebook is open on his lap and he's idly writing something on one of the pages--though you might notice that "Ryotarou" is written in Sharpie on the front. There's also a pair of black and electric-blue Air Trecks propped next to him on the step.]

[Hei yawns and taps his pen against the paper, frowning a little.]

{Diva sees the Air Trecks and pauses, feeling anxious all of the sudden, like on the precipice of the emotion that she had been trying to hide. But she ends up closing her eyes with a smile, taking a seat next to Hei to take a bit of his hair in between her fingers}

I think you're about ready for a haircut, Hei~ This long hair doesn't suit you as well.

[contract_star]

[He chuckles a little.] No, but it helps me hide.

[madamemoiselle]

Hide? Ah, that's right, you are hiding.

{Playfully} Still, if you want long hair, you should trim it a little! Or keep it all back. That looks nice sometimes.

[contract_star]

[He runs his fingers through his hair.] Back? You mean like, tie it?

[madamemoiselle]

Well, not all the way, kind of low.

{lol personal space. Diva reaches behind him, making a small, loose little ponytail with her hand} Kind of like this. It was popular where I was in...Well, "now", I guess.

[contract_star]

Really? Ah...well, I don't know.

[madamemoiselle]

I still think it looks better how it was before.

{She laughs} Still, I never ever had to worry about hiding. Even if I did, I would just change what I look like anyways.

[contract_star]

[Hei is the Lord God King of lurking, so he notices Mu relatively quickly.]

Hi, Mu.

[contract_star]

[He grins.] You're lucky. Sometimes I wish I could just change my appearance like that. It would make things a lot easier.

[Juni will be looking at you in a faintly puzzled way now Hei] Hei, what's with the hair?

[lamb_of_gold]

[Well Mu isn't exactly a friggen ninja.]

Hello, Hei.

[madamemoiselle]

{And on a whim, shota!Diva}

I guess it would. Still, even if you changed what you'd look like, you'd end up missing your old appearance. I always do, at least! At least now it's just whenever I feel like having this one.

['Gasp'! 'Worried'!]

Iya~~ You're finally breaking down, Hei-kun? [Hurries over, and bending a little to look into his face. Then notices the ATs.] Ara ara...

[contract_star]

Huh? What do you mean?

[contract_star]

[Eyebrow raise.] Why exactly would I be breaking down?

[contract_star]

[Lawl.]

How have you been?

[contract_star]

[Blinks a little cause whoa.] I suppose that's true. You might even forget what you looked like.

[lamb_of_gold]

[His tone isn't quite on the money, here.]

I'm alright. You?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Countless things can be the reason, Hei-kun~! [Smiles and points to his hair.] Slovenliness is always the first step~ Does it have anything to do with ATs though~? [Yes, he is just curious.]

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, you'd never forget that. Trust me.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Now have her poking at his hair] It's got longer.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Decided to try a new look?

[anotherharuka.livejournal.com]

[Eh? Oh, it's Hei-san. What's he writing, she wonders?]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Ianto was going to come over and talk to him, but now he's spotted Ryotarou's name he's not sure he wants to. It's a touchy subject, and one he's not sure he wants to talk about right now.]
