Tom Braiding Your Hair

"your hair is so lovely," he mumbled into your head, his hand tugging on the ends. "hm," you mumbled. you and tom had decided to just lounge around all day. tom had to beg you to come over - you had promised yourself to rearrange your room and paint it, tom promised to help you but then his laziness took over and it was so infectious, you caught it too. you went over to tom's apartment to try to drag him over but his bed and his arms looked so inviting. "aren't you warm with it down?" you shrugged your shoulders snuggling into him more. "i'm okay." tom smiled and leaned in to kiss you lightly on the forehead. and then it was silent.

"can i braid it?" you looked up at him, confused. "huh?" "can i braid it?" he repeated himself, then shook his head before correcting himself, "i mean - can i try to braid it?" you laughed a little, pretending to contemplate it. you looked at his begging eyes and his prominent pout. "of course you can, baby," he smiled at your as he promoted you to sit up so he can make his way behind you, having you sit in between his legs. "do you know how to?" "hm?" you laughed tom, "do you know how to braid hair?" tom looked at the mess of your hair and his features set in a frown. he mumbled a 'just a sec' and dug into his pocket for his phone. he quickly searched youtube and tried to find an easy enough tutorial on how to braid hair. he watched the video and he was a little confused. he decided to play the video again but stop it in parts so he followed the steps correctly.

step 1: divide hair into three parts. his fingers combed through your hair, trying to evenly separate it into three different parts.

step 2 looked a little harder. he reminded it about three times, until he decided he knew enough. he locked his phone and sat looking at your hair. 'over, under, over, under,' that's all you heard falling out of his mouth the next couple of minutes. finally, tom pulled his fingers away from your hair, a broad smile on his face. "done!" you laughed, getting up to look into the bathroom. you lifted your camera and turned around so you could see the back. you suppressed your laugh as you looked at the mess tom had made. tom made his way into the bathroom and smiled at you - a large smile at that. "how'd i do?" you looked at his excited face and couldn't bare to be the bearer of bad news. you smiled and soothed your hair down with one hand.

"it's perfect, tommy."
