Order 66 | The Bad Batch | Hunter

Chapter Twenty One- Haircut

Kiv sat in the cockpit of the Marauder, her head thrown back in exhaustion.

Her new armor was sprawled across the ship, pieces here and there from her haphazardly pulling them off.

She groaned, pulling her hair up with her hands.

"I don't know how you boys wear that stuff," she groaned.

Hunter glanced at her. "Well, you get used to it."

"But its so... claustrophobic, and my hair gets stuck."

"There's a solution for that," Hunter offered.

"I think I should just not have to wear it," Kiv said matter-of-factly.

"You know thats not a good idea," Hunter explained. "You are too much at risk without it. I'm not losing you again."

Kiv looked softly at Hunter. Then she let her hands fall, her hair billowing around her face.

"Can we at least do something about this?"

They were in the bathroom again. The tiny, one person sized, Marauder bathroom.

Kiv was sitting in front of Hunter on the edge of the bathtub, her hair being gently pulled on by his hands.

He had already cut most of the hair off in a very messy fashion, leaving different lengths across the entirety of her head. Kiv said she didn't care. Said that whatever worked, worked. But Hunter felt bad. He wanted her to like the hair that Hunter had given her.

So he focused a little bit more, becoming more comfortable by the second until eventually his left hand was holding her head still by the neck.

"You done back there?" Kiv said, leaning her head back.

Hunter looked down at her, smiling lightly.

"Just one more second," he said, pushing her head forward.

"I feel like you should be done by now," Kiv continued.

"I'm trying my best," he said.

"Hunter, it really doesn't matter," Kiv complained.

"It does to me," Hunter finished.

After a few minutes of silence, Kiv finally had enough. She pulled away from Hunter, standing in front of the mirror. She froze. It looked... amazing.

"Hunter..." she muttered.

Hunter fidgeted nervously. "What?"

Kiv began to play around with her newly shortened hair.

"It's perfect," Kiv said, turning to Hunter with a smile.

Hunter's face seemed to light up.

"You really think so?" He asked.

Kiv nodded sweetly. "Of course."
