i've always loved you - eremika au

purple.

eren's pov:

bleach smells bad. like really bad. especially when it's on your head. and oh god does it fucking itch. mikasa said i couldn't scratch it though. i'm starting to regret every decision i made in the past two hours...

"eren we should do something crazy." mikasa turned over on the bed suddenly to face me.

"crazy could be fun.. what kind of crazy?" i asked her.

"i don't know just something ya know. it's summer and i've done nothing impulsive." she sighed heavily.

"well i have really no idea mikasa. we could i don't know go skinny dipping?" i suggested. i mean i guess that's crazy and it sounds like a good time to me.

"no been there done that." she said as she sat up biting her lip.

i could tell she was concentrating really hard when suddenly a mischievous grin flashed across her face. i can't wait to hear this one.

"remember on the last day of school when you said i'd look better with shorter hair?" she asked.

"i do and i was just being a jerk. you'll look beautiful no matter how long your hair is. hair's just hair." i told her.

"i'm really glad you say that eren.. you should cut my hair."

"what?" i asked in disbelief.

"and-" she began to say.

"and? there's an and?" how much crazier could she get?

"let me finish. we should dye a strip of our hair matching colors." she suggested with hopeful eyes.

"ummm i'm not sure about that part." no way was i going to dye my hair.

"but hair's just hair right?" she crossed her arms.

"yes but i just i don't know.. what color anyways?" i asked. god damn it. was she really about to have me dying my hair for her. i guess i really do love her.

"purple." she stated.

"purple? why purple?"

"cuz it's my favorite color."

"fair enough. i mean i guess we can do it. how long does this stuff last?"

"i mean it depends. you can get semi permanent and it'll fade out but our hair is dark." she said nervously. what was she not telling me?

"okay so what?"

"which means we have to bleach the parts we want dyed." she winced waiting for my reaction.

"but bleach is permanent?" i asked.

"yeah. i mean we can always dye it brown if you don't like it."

"okay fine. i'm not doing my whole head though."

"that's okay we can do the front two facing framing pieces." she touched my hair trying to map out where we would bleach and dye it.

and that's exactly what we're doing. right now i'm letting the bleach sit on my hair. i probably have about five minutes left but it itches.

i convinced mikasa to let me rinse it out early. i walked over to the tub and turned the water on. i stuck my head under the running water and rinsed out the bleach.

"okay now we have to blow dry it." she said as she plugged in the blow dryer and i dried my hair with a towel.

i sat on the counter and she turned the dryer on. it was warm. i rested my hands on her hips as she blew me. no not blew me but.. i laughed out loud.
