First Haircut

Luke gives Ashton his first haircut.

Luke: 3

Ashton: 3 and a half

---------------------------------------------------------------

Ashton was at Luke's house today, because his parents had to go to work.

Luke's parents were watching him.

Luke kept sneaking glances at Ashton, who was glumly picking at his broccolli.

Luke knew something was wrong when Ashton shook his head no to Luke's offer of cuddles.

"Ashy?" Luke got off his chair and stood beside Ashton.

"Hm?" Ashton hummed, pushing his food around on his plate with his fork. He didn't look at Luke.

"Is Ashy okay?" Luke asked, peering up at Ashton with big watery eyes.

Ashton sighed and pushed his plate away. "Ashy feel sickish, Lukey."

Luke gasped and grabbed Ashton and pulled him off his chair. He sat on the floor and cuddled Ashton. "Tell Lukey why?" He asked, petting Ashton's hair.

Ashton sniffed and wiped his eyes with his fists. "A-Ashy has to g-get a haircut t-today."

Luke smiled and kissed Ashton's head. "That not bad! Haircuts fun!"

"No!" Ashton wailed, clutching Luke desperately. "Ashy no want a haircut! Ashy lobs his hair how it is! Will look stupid with cut hair!"

"Hmmm..." Luke thought. "What if Lukey gives Ashy haircut? Ashy can tell Lukey how to cut it!"

Ashton sniffed and thought it over. "Well...Ashy does lob his Lukey..."

"So, yas?" Luke asked, excited.

Ashton smiled and nodded.

Luke beamed and jumped up, taking Ashton's hand.

He led the older boy to the basement and sat Ashton down on the floor.

He left and returned with a pair of adult scissors. "Don't tell mommy." He warned as he sat down in front of Ashton.

Ashton stayed still as Luke grabbed a handful of Ashton's curls and raised the scissors to it.

"Just do it!" Ashton had his eyes squeezed shut.

So did Luke.

Snip went the scissors and both boys shot their eyes open and looked down at the floor, where a few strands of wavy brown hair was now.

They stared at it for a long time, until Ashton suddenly let out a loud screech.

Luke fell over backwards in surprise. "Ashy! S'matter?"

"Uneven!" Ashton wailed, kicking his feet. "One side has less hair now!"

"Sh sh." Luke tried to comfort him. "Lukey will cut the other side." And he did.

Ashton watched as his hair fell to the floor in bits and pieces as Luke went to work on his hair.

A few minutes later, Luke stepped back and studied his work. "Done!" 

Ashton toddled over the the mirror and studied his new hair style.

"Ashy like?" Luke asked timidly, trailing behind him.

"Ashy...Ashy...Ashy lob it!" Ashton squealed happily and clapped his hands. "Thank you Lu!"

Luke beamed. "Now Ashon doesn't have to get haircut later!"

"Nope!" Ashton hugged Luke tightly.

"Luke? Ashton?" A voice called. "Mrs. Irwin is here. Come back upstairs!"

Ashton giggled and grabbed Luke's hand, leading him upstairs.

Mrs. Irwin smiled at them as they came into view.

"Ready to go get your haircut, Asht- WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR?!"

Ashton giggled. "Lukey did!" Luke smiled and waved the scissors around.

"I should really apologize." Mrs. Hemmings said, laughing behind her hands. "But I'm not gunna."

"We can get a hat to cover the bald spots." Mrs. Irwin muttered to herself as she stared at her son. "We'll need lots of hats."
