Blue Bloods Drabbles

Hair (No Episode)

Linda sighed as she put her curling iron away. She came out of the bathroom with a sad look on her face. Sadder than she realized, apparently, if Danny's frown upon seeing her said anything.

"What's the matter?"

"I found some grey hairs," she pouted, sitting on the bed next to him.

"So?"

"So? So I'm old!"

"You're not old. Besides, I'm getting grey hair in my beard."

"Men look good grey. Like Cary Grant and Richard Dreyfus. Women look old."

"So when do men look old?"

"When their faces are wrinkled."

"Linda, that's completely arbitrary. Besides, you dye your hair anyways. What's the big deal?"

"I told you; grey hair."

Danny still wasn't getting it. "So?"

Linda sighed, very annoyed. "Old people aren't attractive, Danny."

He blinked a few times, surprised. "You really think I'm going to find you any less attractive because of the color of your hair?"

She looked at him painfully, her bottom lip between her teeth.

"That's insane! Linda- hair isn't going to make a difference. Okay? I loved you when you had hair down to boobs in your junior year of high school. I loved you when you had a panic attack and cut it all off two weeks before the wedding. I loved you when you got that pixie cut, even though it meant I couldn't okay with your hair for a while. I loved you when you went natural in 2003. I've loved you through every single haircut and style and color you've had, okay? Do I like some more than others? Yes, I do. But the love I have for you hasn't changed because of your hair."

"But it has changed?"

"Oh my- I had an entire speech about how the color of your hair doesn't matter and that's what you picked up on? Yes, it's changed. It's changed for the better. It's grown."

"I'm being stupid, I know. I'm sorry."

Danny put a hand on his wife's shoulder. "Yeah, you are. But I get it. It must be hard living with someone this awesome."

Linda scoffed and pushed him, "you wish!"

He swung an arm around her, bring her her back to his chest. "You feel better now?"

Linda shifted some she could see his face, "yeah, thank you... I guess you are pretty awesome."

"Thank you," he said seriously before both of them started giggling. He peppered kisses over her cheeks and nose, finally landing on her lips. "I love you, a lot. And hair is not going to change that."

"I love you more."

"I love you most." He kissed her a few more times.
