"Shh, stop fussing, Im just braiding your hair!" M said, weaving Shadow's hair into a french braid. "Well, could you do it without ripping my hair outta my scalp?!" M glared at Shadow, and giggled. Shadow grunted and let M continue with the braid. "Stop moving, I'm almost done!" M exclaimed. Shadow winced as M finished the braid.
"There, you look so pretty now!" "Oh, and I didn't before?" Shadow smirked. M chuckled, and handed him the tiny mirror they had. "Oh damn, I look good!" M nodded as he flopped onto his sleeping bag. "Are you going to sleep already?" Shadow said, still sitting up and admiring their braid. "No, I'm just resting my eyes!" He muttered sleepily. "Hmm, Sureee-" Shadow teased, flopping right next to M.
They faced each other, and just lied there for a few moments, before Shadow broke the silence; "I don't think i thanked you for braiding my hair." "Oh, it's not a problem Shadow, I can do that anytime you need!" They smiled. "How did you learn to braid like this? It's so cool!" Shadow said, scooting closer to M, getting more tired by the second.
"Oh, well, uh- I learned when the Red Kingdom was still- a thing. The Red Leader had long hair, like yours! He would braid it everyday, and I thought it looked cool, so I asked if he could teach me! And he did and-" M felt something lay on his chest. "oh uh-" They looked down to see Shadow curled up in a ball, asleep. M chuckled, and closed his eyes. "Goodnight Shadow."
