Humanised.

Balloon had never been much of a fan of heavy metal, but Nickel absolutely loved it. So when Nickel invited him to a concert, Balloon didn't hesitate to say yes. He'd go anywhere with his boyfriend if it made him happy. Now they were getting ready to leave.
Nickel stepped out of the shower, drying the last few strands of his hair before getting dressed. Once he was ready, Balloon couldn't help but stare.
Wow.
His usually messy grey hair was damp and slightly tousled, giving it a soft shine. He wore the band's black T-shirt, ripped black jeans, black-and-white high-top Converse, black wristbands, and a pair of fingerless gloves. Somehow, he managed to look effortlessly cool.
Balloon smiled to himself. He looks amazing...
There was something about that rough, rebellious style that Balloon found incredibly attractive.
Nickel glanced over at him and immediately burst into a grin.
"...Okay, you look adorable," he laughed. "But you seriously can't wear a red sweater over a white collared shirt to a heavy metal concert."
Balloon looked down at his outfit, cheeks warming. "Oh! Uh... I didn't really think about that."
Nickel walked over and gently took his hands. "Do you own anything... black?"
Balloon scratched the back of his neck with an embarrassed smile. "Black...? Um... maybe not? I don't think I do..."
Nickel snapped his fingers. "Wait—I have an idea, babe."
Before Balloon could ask what he meant, Nickel slipped the red sweater over his head and tossed it onto the bed. He rummaged through his wardrobe for a moment before pulling out a black tie.
"There we go." He looped it neatly around Balloon's collared shirt and adjusted it until it sat just right.
Nickel stepped back to admire his work. "There. You look... ska enough. I love it."
Balloon couldn't help but giggle. "Hehehe... very cool."
Truthfully, he didn't care whether he matched everyone else at the concert. Seeing Nickel so excited was more than enough for him. As long as his boyfriend was smiling, Balloon was happy too. He glanced at himself in the mirror. His salmon-coloured curls were tied back into a small bun, and with the black tie, he actually didn't look too bad.
Still... Compared to Nickel, he looked pretty tame. At least Nickel knew how to help him fit the occasion.
Balloon turned around with a warm smile. "So... excited?"
Nickel's face lit up instantly. "You bet your cute ass I am!" he laughed. "This is gonna be awesome. Thanks for coming with me, Balloon. I know this isn't really your kind of music, but... it means a lot that you're doing this for me."
He leaned forward and kissed Balloon softly. Balloon giggled into the kiss before wrapping his arms around Nickel and lifting him effortlessly off the floor. Nickel laughed, instinctively wrapping his legs around Balloon's waist as they shared another lingering kiss.

Knife finished getting ready for the concert and gave himself one last look in the mirror. He was dressed perfectly for the occasion: a sleeveless black shirt with the sleeves cut off almost like a vest, tight black leather pants, and chunky black boots that gave him a little extra height. His dark grey mullet brushed against his shoulders, and the eyeliner he had carefully applied made his eyes stand out even more. Combined with his eyebrow, nose, and ear piercings, he looked every bit the part of a heavy metal fan.
