before I fall into the yarn bin...

lavandarlizard2I thought it might be good to post some fic. O.O Wow. What a concept. >_>
One project went over well, so now I must bound into another. ^___^ And I have found a wonderful source for foofy novelty yarn at not much money. Yay! ^.o
So, a bit more of The Haircut bit. Maybe something else tomorrow? O_O;; We'll see...
“Duo? Open your eyes,” coaxed the familiar smooth voice of his Wyvern. “Take a look, my angel.”
Oh. He must have been half asleep. He opened his eyes, blinking in the light, and peered at his reflection, noting vaguely the two males standing behind him with eager expressions. Nothing looked any different. How…? Oh, wait. His bangs were… shorter. Neater. Styled. Kinda… poufy. Wow. He could see his eyes beneath them without tossing them out of his way. Double-wow.
He stared at himself in amazement. The only change was to the length of his bangs. The only *visible* change. As if in response to his scattered thoughts, Stani spun the chair and put a small mirror into his hand.
“You see,” he pronounced, more to Heero than to Duo. “It is a sleeker, more modern look. Better suited to this modern life.”
~ Away with that old life… Welcome to your new one… ~
I really do have a new life… I have a new Clan... A real home… A… a future, not just a past.
The auburn fall of hair now ended at the bottom of the chair back. Trimmed straight across, looking fresh and crisp, the ends were already curving into a soft wave.
He looked up at Heero. “It feels… light,” he breathed. “Like it could go floating up… Is it good?” he asked anxiously. “It’s not too short?”
Heero leaned down to kiss his cheek. “It is not too short,” he murmured. “It is just right. You will shock everyone on Monday morning. Wufei will have a fit,” he smirked.
Looking into the mirrors once again, Duo smiled. “He sure will. Ten to one he blames you.”
“Of course!”
“Does it meet with your approval?” asked Stani, not looking particularly worried.
“Yes…” said Duo slowly. “Yes, it does. It’ll take me a while to get used to it, but it’s great. I’m glad I did this…” And he truly was glad.
“Excellent!” Stani took the mirror and spun the chair again. “I’ll just dust you off; nothing more annoying than those tiny little bits of hair.” A wand appeared and Duo was engulfed in a brief whirlwind. “Would you like to braid it now? You’ll find that you will not sit on it when it is braided, but you may when it is loose,” explained the stylist.
“Perfect. I will braid it, I think. It’s breezy out.” He did so quickly, then shook his head experimentally. “It feels so light! Thank you!”
“Ah, no! Thank you for allowing me this honor.” The hair Wizard swept a deep theatrical bow and then shooed them from the salon. “You must buy your beautiful Chosen lunch, Heero! Stani insists!”
The door closed behind them, finding them standing on the sidewalk. “Wow. He doesn’t waste time, does he?” said Duo after a few seconds.
“Never has,” Heero replied with a smile.
“Wait! Where’s the hair? Didn’t you get the hair?”
“Of course, I did.” Heero produced a bundle of silk from his other space. “Here it is.”
Duo gave a sigh of relief. He’d taken a huge step in getting so much hair cut off all at once, but he wasn’t yet ready to let it go entirely. “Damn… That’s a lot.” He hefted the bundle. “I’ve been carrying this around on my head… No wonder I feel so light!” He grinned as he handed the bundle back to the Wyvern. “I want Chinese food for lunch!”
“You got it, baby,” Heero purred, clasping his hand.

Date: 2008-12-24 03:17 am (UTC)After much hand wringing, my grandfather took us to the salon and I got a pixie cut. Ever see Tinker Bell in the animated version of Peter Pan? That's a pixie cut. When I get a haircut I get a HAIRCUT! lol
Never regretted it.
Glad Duo is happy with it.

Date: 2008-12-24 03:54 am (UTC)For a while in the 80s I had my hair down to my waist, before starting to chop. It eventually ended up as a buzz cut. ^___^ The Bro refered to it as 'dyke do #23'. It a little bit longer than that now, but not by much. ^__~

Date: 2008-12-24 03:37 am (UTC)I wonder if he has a 'soothing' talent as well as the whirlwind, to help Duo relax while the dread cutting was going on?
Have fun with your project. A closeout place called Tuesday Morning had yarn - and it sucked me in a couple weeks ago : schloop! Ravelry is an evil enabler...

Date: 2008-12-24 10:32 am (UTC)Duo is a yarn nut, why not turn all that hair into yarn and make something from it? A braclet for Heero or something like that.

Date: 2008-12-29 02:18 am (UTC)'Short' is a relative term here... It still reaches below his waist. ^____^

Date: 2008-12-29 04:35 pm (UTC)Well short for him I should say. Now when it's braided he won't sit on the damn thing. xD
