'Come on! Let me do it,' Brandon tells you. He tries to grab the hair ties out of your hand. 'I don know if i should trust you,' you reply. You are getting ready to do your hair, french braiding it, so it is out of the way for the next two days or so. It is too hot to have your hair down and youŕe getting tired of ponytails and buns. Brandon is just not convincing enough to let him do it, though. The last time he tried to do your hair it was a simple bun and somehow you spent the next five minutes getting knots our of your hair. You are scared it is going to end up like thata again or worse, since french braiding is a bit more difficult than a simple bun. 'I prepared for this moment. You said last time I should learn how to do your hair so you don't always have to struggle yourself. And now I can and you don't let me...' he whines. It is almost like he has a pout on his face, trying to get you to give the hair ties to him. You roll your eyes at the sight. You make your way over to the couch and sit down, placing everything you're holding down on the table. 'How did you possibly prepare? And do I even want to know the answer?' you ask him, a small smile on your face. You never know what he is going to say. 'Shut up. I just watched some videos about it so I know how to do this!' You furrow your eyebrows and look at him. 'What?' Brandon sits down next to you and repeats what he said. 'Youtube videos?' you ask. Brandon nods his head in agreement. 'You can barely brush your own hair, how am I to believe you know how to french braid my hair, babe?' This time it is Brandons turn to roll his eyes. He can tell he is not as patience as before. He knew you would probably not let him try anything with your hair right away, but this seems a little much. He didn't want to believe you doubt his skills this much. In his opinion, the buns he did the last time didn't even look that bad. (Although they certainly did feel bad for you, along with the hair loss of trying to get the knots out after.)

'Just sit here and let me try!' Brandon tries again. He is already leaning forward towards the table to grab the brush. 'Come on, a little trust here.' You laugh and finally end up nodding your head.  'How do you want me to sit?' you ask him. 'Just sit in front of me on the floor, maybe?' 'Can't even sit comfortably on the couch, rude... Do you want to continue the series we started yesterday? Something to keep my mind off of the pain of getting my hair ripped out my skull,' you say. 'And you say I'm rude, you're even worse. I would never rip your hair out, I'm too sweet to you. And no I can't watch anything, I need to focus on the braids.' You're happy Brandon can't see you roll your eyes and smile. It is honestly quite cute how he is trying to braid your hair, so determined to get it right. 'What is that bottle for?' he asks you pointing to the table. 'Like a spray for my hair, moisturizer thing.' You hold it up to him so he can see what it says. 'Do I use that to now?' he asks you, grabbing the bottle from your hand. 'Yes, just brush it out first, then spray this is and then do braids.' Brandon nods his head. 'OK...' he mumbles. He starts brushing your hair, luckily for you he starts at the bottom this time. It starts off better than the last time at least. The he started brushing your hair from the top and it hurt quite bad. 

'It's all brushed. How much do I spray of this? How does it work?' he asks you. He put the brush down next to him and grabs the bottle. 'You have to like twist the top, otherwise you can't spray anything. Just kind of spray it? I don't know how much to spray, I kind of just do something... Do you want me to do it?' 'No!' Brandon immediately says, 'You need to let me do everything, I need to learn.' You laugh at his dramatic reaction. 'I will just be spraying, nothing bad. You said you wanted to learn how to french braid,' you tell him. 'Yes, well, I need to know what you use on your hair so that I can help you more often. Maybe learn some things to use for my own hair,' he states. 'OK, OK. Just spray it like a few times everywhere,' you tell him, 'That's it.' 

'OK, done. Now the braiding begins.' Brandon just finished parting your hair, trying to get it as straight as possible. One part is sectioned of with a hair tie, so he (hopefully) doesn't mess up the braids. 'Pray for me,' you say, softly, but Brandon heard it. 'Stop! It's not even going to be bad, you can't keep roasting me. I haven't even started.' 'Goodluck then! Don't get me bald, please.' He takes the first few strands and tries his best to remember every step they explained in the video he watched before. It seems to be going surprisingly well, untill a part of the strand slips out of his hand and he curses. 'Damn it, this is way more fucking difficult than they said!' he mutters. 'Told you, should have probably started out with normal braids,' you tell him. Fortunately for you it hasn't been hurting until now, so you can actually watch your series without getting too distracted. You wish you had set up your camera to film, you would have loved to see his focused look as he tries his best. 

'I can do this!' he tells himself before he tries again. He grabs the smallest strands again and starts a new french braid. This time he pays attention to how he is holding the strands, not wanting to mess up again. Partly because he doesn't want to have you laugh at him again. He knows full well he should have found something easier to start with but he heard how you wanted to french braid and he just needed to learn how to do it. The sections he takes are kind of wonky. Some are bigger and then some are smaller, but he is trying. He is halfway done with one side and is proud of himself. 

'Keep tugging so hard and I am going to be bald, Brandon!' you yell at him as he is, once again, pulling way too hard on a strand. 'Thought you liked getting it pulled,' he says. 'Not in this setting, thank you very much,' you tell him and roll your eyes. It has been going well up until now. You know he is just trying to make sure your hair stays in the braid and not fall out, but it hurts a little too much right now. You move a little to sit your back against the couch in a more comfortable position. You didn't think you would be sitting down for this long, and you've only got one side nearly finished. You'll have to get a pillow or something soft to sit on for the next side. 'Stop moving! Your braid is going to be wonky and messed up. It will be your fault if it looks bad, dude,' Brandon whines. 'Can't believe I got called a dude by my boyfriend, rude.' Brandon rolls his eyes and then curses again. having nearly lost another strand, again. He does not want to do all of this again. His fingers hurt from holding your hair all weird, his back from sitting up so straight. He is starting to regret his decision even more when he realises he has to do the other side after this. He lets out a sigh and gets in the last strand of hair.

'They actually look good, I almost can't believe it. Wow,' you tell Brandon. He took some pictures to show you how it looked, also from the back. You have to say, with the amount of cursing and pulling you didn't think it was going to end up looking this good. You turn around and give him a kiss. 'Goodjob, should have you do this more often.' Brandon's eyes widen. 'I don't know if my hands will survive that. I did not realise it was going to feel this bad.' 'I told you beforehand how bad it could be, so, your problem. Can I do this on you to, though?' 'And expose my big ass forehead, no thank you,' Brandon replies. You laugh and shake your head. 

'Can't believe mister 'I don't want a relationship'actually learned how to braid my hair. Unbelievable,' you say. 'Still convinced you used some magic on me or something. That I actually enjoy dating you,' he replies. You hug him and give him a kiss. 'The magic is called healthy communication and trust, baby.' Brandons kisses you again. 'Well, you're the first.' 'Hmm, I am happy to learn with you.'
