‘….I’m not the only one here with
a stupid haircut, you know….’
“Voila.” The confused-mixed-whatever sexed hair
stylist making his/her finishing move.
“Masterpiece.”
“Do you like it?” She leans over his shoulder,
wiggling her eyes at him in the mirror. “At least
your face is visible now.”
“Hn,” is all either of them get. The fact that the
claws are not out, means….they don’t know.
She pays the bill and walks him out the door….and
minutes later, gasps in horror.
“What’s happening?” A slender finger rises to his
head. “Your hair, its-its….”
“Growing back,” he grins and scratches the newly
grown sideburns. “Healing factor ‘member. Just like
tats, got my hair styled a few times. Good way…”
“…To impress new girlfriends,” she completes with a
smug smoldering smirk, one that sets him on guard.
“What?” He nevertheless asks.
“You know what just admitted to?” She snuggles
around his arm, rubbing her tall, lithe body against
him.
“What?” Again a single word.
“You just admitted that…” she steps around and wraps
her arms around him. “….I am your girlfriend now.”
