Keith Kogane x Reader One-Shots

2 - "Don't touch my hair!"

You were bored as hell. Keith was listening to 'My Chemical Romance' with his headphones again, completely disregarding your craving for his attention. Not that you didn't like his oblivious nature - no, you found it cute in most cases. However, it was not one of those cases right now, seeing as you wanted him to notice you.

You watched as he bobbed his head to the music, mouthing the words as he kept his eyes closed. His signature red leather jacket had been tossed onto the floor long ago, leaving him in a black shirt that seemed to fit him almost too perfectly. It was times like this that you hated how charming your boyfriend was. 

"Keiiiiith", you whined, placing your body on top of his, a red tint spreading across his face as a result. 

"What do you want now, sunshine?", he asked, slightly irritated that you'd interrupted his music. After seeing the small pout on your face, however, he couldn't bring himself to be annoyed at such a sweet thing. He pushed a strand of his unruly mullet back, sighing at how much it seemed to get in the way these days. 

At this simple action, you had an idea. Your boyfriend's long, dark mullet hair would be perfect to style, right? A smirk grew on your face as you batted your eyelashes at the 'emo' boy. 

"Hey, Keith?", you hummed, caressing his right cheek, knowing he liked it when you did that. Ever since gaining the scar from fighting Shiro, the male seemed to become slightly insecure about it, but he felt more confident when you touched it gently. your touch made him feel safe and loved. 

"Yes, y/n?", he asked as he held back a smile. You gave him a seemingly innocent smile, continuing to rub his cheek. 

"You know you love me, right?", you asked. He nodded, although he was slightly confused. "And you'd let me do whatever I wanted as long as it isn't dangerous?". Another nod. "Great! So I can braid your hair!", you cheered, smiling brightly. His eyes widened as he tried to cover his hair.

"Oh hell no! You're not touching my mullet. Don't touch my hair!", he protested, but soon changed his tune when he saw your expression; your eyes had become shiny as your lip quivered, giving the impression that you were crying. "Wait, no! Fine. You can braid my hair, just don't cry!"

You smiled in victory, rushing over to the boy you had just effortlessly fooled. "Why thank you, my emo samurai! Now sit down and I'll braid your hair.", you said, bouncing onto the bed and crossing your legs. He obliged, taking a seat at the foot of the bed so that you'd have easier access. 

Keith squirmed and whined as you did his hair,  wishing he had fallen off Kaltenecker at the space mall and been handed over to Zarkon so he wouldn't be enduring this. Clearly, he was having the time of his life. You, on the other hand, were giddy. Pidge never let you play with her hair, so you'd resorted to Keith.

Eventually, though, his squirming began to get more difficult to handle. You could barely finish the braid with how much he was moving, and you had enough. 

"Shh. Stop fussing, dummy. I'm just braiding your hair.", you told him, slapping his hand away as it reached for the back of his head. He released a low groan of defeat, slumping his body down and sitting still. You let out a giggle of triumph before finishing off the braid.

"There, all done! Wanna see it?", you asked. He nodded, passing you his phone so you could take a picture. Grabbing the phone, you went onto Snapchat and took a quick photo before handing it back to him. "Well? Did I do a good job or what?" 

He turned to face you and gave a small smile before ruffling your hair, making you push his hand away as you attempted to fix your hair. He simply sat there, laughing at you until you had finished and when you had, he turned back to look at the picture of his hair. 

"To answer your question; I love it, sunshine.", he said quietly.

"No need to be so shy about it, y'know", you teased, bopping his nose lightly. His face was quick to flush, leaving him a flustered mess as he covered his cheeks with his hands. As he did this, you found yourself laughing at his actions, which only resulted in him blushing harder.

"S-stop it, yn!", he cried from behind his hands, making you quiet down for a bit in an attempt to not annoy him anymore. After a few minutes, he seemed to calm down and he finally spoke up again. "I swear you're too adorable for me, babe. Thank you for braiding my hair, too."

A smile spread across your face as you hugged him, resting your head atop his chest. He tensed at the sudden action but soon relaxed and set his chin on top of your head. "You're comfy.", you mumbled after you had been cuddling for a few moments, already feeling your body relax into his touch. 

"I know I am, sunshine. I know I am.", he muttered and rubbed your back lightly. "So do I get to listen to my music now that you've styled my hair?" At this, you playfully gasped, throwing a hand over your heart. 

"How dare you wound me like this!", you declare, wiping fantom tears from your e/c orbs. Keith rolled his eyes at your behaviour, silently chuckling at your childish antics. "But if you're listening to your music, at least let me cuddle you and we can listen to it together", you finished. 

"Why not", he shrugged, letting you crawl back over to him and then passing you an earbud once you were comfortable. "Happy now?", he asked as he wrapped his arms around your waist, holding you close to him. 

"Very"
