"Ow! Mahiru that hurts!" Hiyoko whined, nails digging into the palm of her hands. Mahiru shook her head, a frown plastered visibly on her face.
"Hiyoko, when was the last time you brushed your hair?" The red head asked, yanking the brush out of the others hair as gently as possible. Hiyoko still winced at the movement.
"Er- I don't know.." The girl admitted shyly, a light pink dusting her cheeks. "But it's not my fault! I've just been to busy with dance!"
"That isn't an excuse to not take care of yourself." Mahiru chided, placing a hand on the top of the blondes head. "I'm going to wash your hair."
Hiyoko whined as Mahiru dragged her over to the shower room. "Mahiru~!"
Mahiru ignored her cries, closing the door as she made her way to the shower. She turned it on, making sure it wasn't too hot or too cold. She turned back around, chuckling at Hiyoko.
Her arms were crossed and she was pouting. Her face was the color of a tomato and her hair was everywhere due to the prior attempts at brushing it. She did not look happy.
"Hiyoko, showering is not going to kill you."
Hiyoko rolled her eyes, but she uncrossed her arms. "Fine, but only if we can watch a movie tonight."
Mahiru smiled. "Of course-"
"I want to pick it as well."
"You can pick it."
Hiyoko sighed, making her way over to the shower. She looked away from Mahiru, taking off her sweatshirt.
"I- I can go grab a bathing suit or something if you'd like-"
"It's fine, Mahiru." Hiyoko smiled, stepping into the shower. She giggled, melting into the water as she listened to Mahiru splutter.
Hiyoko wrapped her arms around her stomach, closing her eyes as she indulged herself in the water. She smiled as she felt hand run through her hair.
"You better not get soap in my eyes, Mahiru!" She warned. Mahiru giggled, hands resting on her girlfriends shoulders.
"Don't open your eyes, and you won't have to worry about that." She grabbed the shampoo, opening it as a waft over vanilla filled the small area.
She squirted a small amount onto her palm, rubbing her hands together before placing them on Hiyoko's head. She ran her fingers through the girls hair, listening as Hiyoko hummed.
It was silent for a while, the only sound being the water. Mahiru washed the conditioner out, smiling at the smooth way her fingers ran through her hair.
"Hey Mahiru?" Hiyoko's voice was quiet, which was unusual. Mahiru hummed as Hiyoko turned around. Her eyes widened, hands flying up to hold the blondes face in her hands.
"Why are you crying?" She asked, thumb rubbing away the tears. Hiyoko sniffled, letting out a huff of air.
"I just-" she started. "I love you, Mahiru."
Mahiru sighed, shaking her head as she smiled. "I love you too."
