"oh..hey Lavender- hheh...uh- how was the practice fight with Regal?.." Raspberry asked, sitting criss-cross on a janky wooden chair that's been in this building since forever, apparently, "oh! It was pretty good, but, I'll talk later since I'm dying in this outfit right now- yknow how it is, Null refusing to fix the AC in the practice room and all.." Lav said before quickly walking off to the changing rooms.
As Lav was cleaning herself up and getting dressed to go back home Rasp knocked on the changing room door.
"Still busy!" Lav nearly-shouted in surprise.
"Sorry..you uh..left your hairbrush in the locker area, so uh, I wanted to give it to you.." Raspberry whispered, almost too quiet to hear through the door.
"Oh! Thanks then Raspbae! Just gimmie a second, okay?" "Oka-HEAUGH-- OW!-- ah- sorry...w-why'd you pull me in here?" Raspberry nervously questioned the confident-appearing Honey-Lavender.
"First off, I need this." She almost yanks the hairbrush out of Raspberry's hand. "Seeecond off, you also need this." she spins the hairbrush through the little handle hole to vaguely clarify what he needed.
"H-huh? Why? My hair isn't that bad?.." He ran a hand through the side of his shoulder-length hair, getting caught on about 2 knots just from that attempt alone.
"I saw you get caught on 2 knots just from that alone."
"It was hair curls.."
"Hair-curls my butthole, I have wavy enough hair to know what's a curl and what's a knot."
"Ow..okay.."
"Great, just sit on the chair and I'll get it de-tangled in almost no-time!"
"Mhm.."
Raspberry sat down and attempted to hum before Lav started brushing since he knew it'd hurt, until, Lav gently selected a chunk of hair to brush and yanked on it with the brush.
"OW!!! WHAT WAS THAT FOOoorrr..." Raspberry shouted in pain. "Big knot found....very big knot found, sorry babe." Lavender responded calmly, trying to calm down and remind Raspberry that she wouldn't hurt him.
She worked through the big knots first, brushing them down with the techniques she learned for her own hair, it seemed to be working well despite the yelps and 'ow's and sucking in air through the teeth from Raspberry, not her fault he never combed his hair. After a while she noticed Raspberry go quiet and start looking down.
"Raspy..I need you to look higher up for the last f-...no..hun are you okay? Is it hurting that bad?" Lav concerningly asked.
"Mhm...y-yeah...sorry..." Raspberry weakly apologized, holding the back of his neck in part shame and part trying to ease the pain.
"No..no it's okay, I get it sweetie..leaving your hair unkempt for so long and trying to fix it in one go..it hurts a lot, especially when it gets past shoulder-length like yours is.
"Thanks...sorry though..."
"It's fine, here, how about you let me pick tomorrow's outfit?"
"But you know I'm bad with fashion..."
"You're notttt...you're just more comfortable with your fashion on yourself, I keep telling you that people always like the outfits you choose for me, sweetie, even when I pretend I picked it out. So just do it for me, okay?"
"Okay...s--"
"Aaaabupupupupupuup. No, no apologizing for nothing." Lavender gives him a kiss on the cheek and a hug to shut him up.
"...Okay....thanks...love you,"
"I love you too Raspbae now lets get onto the outfit choosing!"
