Good idea. I don't want to think about anything bad happening.

[no dying allowed, basically.]

[immobileyes]

It's okay! We made it home in time and I only sneezed once, so that's still fine!

[ Neither of them will die today!! ]

[coexistent]

Right... hopefully you won't anymore after drying off, too.

[cold prevention systems are go...]

[immobileyes]

Yeah... thanks for helping me, Roxas.

[ She's got a little too much hair. And some of it is moving independently when he touches it. ]

[coexistent]

It's fine... it would take a lot longer if you did it by yourself anyway.

[there is probably a time when her hair having a mind of its own would've freaked him out a little, but it just makes him approach things a little more gently instead now.]

[immobileyes]

[ sorry her hair gets snakey sometimes-- but she's grateful that Roxas is used enough to it to accept it. Or at least not comment on it, and it'll calm down soon enough. ]

It hurts if I cut it, so it's just easier to grow it out... [ But then she ends up like this. ]

[coexistent]

It's fine... I think it fits you anyway like this.

[it's kind of weird to try and picture her with short hair anyway.]

[immobileyes]

... Thanks. My mother had long hair, too. I really wanted to look as pretty as her when I was little.

[ Well. Shion had been gorgeous, though. And graceful. ]

[coexistent]

Well... even if you had short hair, I think you'd be pretty.

[because she's just pretty in general, duh.] But long hair definitely... I dunno, it feels more like you.

[immobileyes]

[ There he goes again, saying things so sweet and unexpected that Mary can't really fend off a blush. Luckily, the towel ought to hide most of it. ]

I-I, um-- [ But the stammer probably gives her away, yep. ] Thank you-- I really do like it like this too.

[coexistent]

That's what's most important right?

[since it's her hair and all. he's starting to get used to her stammering and blushing for reasons he doesn't understand. it's just... the way she is lately? okay.]

[immobileyes]

Yeah! But it makes me happy to hear you like it too.

[ This she can say normally?? ]

[coexistent]

...Really?

[w-why though...]

[immobileyes]

[ shh Roxas just roll with it. ]

Really. Maybe because what you think means a lot to me?

[ Which has been that way even before her feelings had evolved. ]

[coexistent]

Oh... [he can feel his ears getting a bit hot when he hears her say that, though the truth is that he's really not sure why that is.

huh.

strange.]

Well... as long as you're happy... then it's a good thing, right?

[immobileyes]

Yeah!

[ And then they had to dry her hair for like an hour. ]
