The two sat in the bathroom, looking in the mirror, "that's a sweet idea and all. But are you sure you won't miss your hair" Goth asks as he runs his hands through the tight curls. "Don't ask just do it" Palette scrunched his eyes tight as the razor viberated against his head. Feeling a few tugs here and there, and he can feel chuncks hair fall on his shoulders and lap. He can hear the click of the razor turning off, "alright." Palette opens his eyes and stares at his reflection.
And runs his hand across his head. "Cool. Good. This isn't that bad, right?" Goth held back a snort. "Yea. You look like a hairy thumb" he receives a playful smack, and laughter. He got up and cleaned off the chopped locks. He helped Goth clean the bathroom then changed. Goth handed Palette his hat, and gave him a small peck on the cheek. "You're such a good big brother you know that?" Palette flushes at the compliment, and maybe the small kiss, "well I wouldn't be if Lux wasn't the best little sister, heh." He rubs the back of his head a few times, feeling the bristles of hair, "alright I've gotta go." He smiles as the two hug, "see you later!" "Bye" Goth calls back.
The drive is nice, traffic isn't that bad and he was in a better mood that he got a discount on some flowers. He walks into the hospital lobby, smiling at the receptionist, she gave him the room number and he made his way into the children's ward. Waving hello to some of the children passing by. He reaches the room which Lux resided, and knocked. He enters and smiles at the loud gasp, "Palette!" The young girl squeals happily. Palette giggles and walks over, handing her the flowers, which are bigger than her little hands and head.
Lux giggles and looks at them, "they're pretty! Thank you" She hugs the bouquet. Palette sits down next to the bed. "You're very welcome. But that's not all" Lux looks back at the older gentlemen, watching him remove the hat, she makes a small gasp and moves her hand up to feel the tallers head. Palette bends down to help her reach, "where's your hair?" She asks, Palette looks up at her "well I got rid of it!" "But why?" Palette smiles and runs his hand over the half of the little girls head, looking at the caved in side.
He sighed and moved it down, resting it on his little sisters cheek, "how are you feeling?" She leans into the hand. "Ok. My head hurts sometimes but the doctors give me medicine to make it better." Palette smiles, he goes to say something, "oh! Geez hon you scared me!" Palette turns to see Dream, he smiles and chuckles "sorry dad." Dream walks over, "what happened to all of your hair?" "He got rid of it!" Lux answered for him.
Dream looks at his daughter and then back at his son "is that so. It sure would have been nice if he asked first." Palette sheepishly looked away. "Sorry dad.. I just didn't like how Lux felt so out of place, so I wanted her to feel less indifferent." Dream smiles at his son and sighs "well with a reason like that I can't stay mad at you. Besides I suppose it is just hair, it'll grow back... Not to mention you probably needed a haircut soon." Lux blinks before looking up at her dad and holding up the bouquet of flowers "look what Palette gave me!" Dream mocked a shocked gasp and picked them up "aww, we'll these are lovely! Perfect for a little princess!" Lux giggles, and Dream hands back the flowers. "Where's daddy??" Dream looks down, and boops her nose "he's getting you something to eat" she giggled at the gentle feeling of the finger tapping her nose, "oh, that would have been a good idea. Maybe next time I'll bring you strawberries" Palette spoke, Lux turned her attention at her older brother and became excited "strawberries!!" She exclaimed, beaming brightly.
But winced "ow" her hands let go of the flowers and to the bandages on her head. She whimpers, Dream frowns a bit, "Palette would you comfort your sister while I find her doctor? I passed him a second ago so he's not far." "Yea of course!" Dream thanks Palette and walks out. Palette looks at Lux, he sits on the bed and gently hugs Lux and rubs the non bandaged head. Letting his little sister nuzzle into his side. A couple of small whimpers follow her. Palette gently shushes her and hums a small tune.
The doctor walks in and checks up on Lux, while Dream and Palette stand off to the side, "I really appreciate you being here for her" Dream whispers, Palette shrugs and looks at Lux, when they meet eyes he gives her a big smile and a thumbs up which seems to help her morale. "It's nothing, really. I just want her to know she isn't alone..." He whispers back, Dream can feel the melancholy associated with the statement. "Palette I'm sorry if you felt alone-" "let's not talk about it here ok?" Palette looks at Dream, eyes lock for a second before looking away. Dream sighed. He looks up at the door when Cross walks in, holding a small grocery bag in his hand,he walks over to the other two "is she ok? Why is the doctor checking up on her?" Cross looks back at his daughter "her head was hurting again. Im sure it was just how loud she got earlier. Poor baby" Dream leans against Cross' shoulder. Cross eyes Palette for a second, he smiles amd pulls away from Dream, "Hey kid,what happened to your hair" "Cut it." Palette responds and looks away. It's not that he didn't like Cross, but he was a little overwhelmed. Cross seems to get the message and walks back to Dream.
It's night now, Palette is reading to Lux, while she fights sleep. Dream smiles at his son and rubs his back, "you should head on home." Palette sighs and nods, "yea you're probably right." He stands up. Lux looks up at him "you'll be back soon right?" Palette smiles and kisses the top of Lux's head. "You betcha! Wouldn't miss a chance to see you." Lux seems to be happier now that she's gotten to see him. When Palette gets home it's 11:34 PM. He yawns and looks walks into the house, and up to his and Goth's shared room. He knows the other isn't home, most likely caught up in closing shift,so he drops on the bed and falls asleep.
/there. I've been hurting Palette far too much lately. So I had to balance that out with some big brother Palette. Also because this was easier to plan anf write compared to the one I want to write. That and planning for part 6. But have this, maybe one day I'll actually write Afterdeath lol//
