You want to put my 'huge' what where? That's, ah, fine ... I guess. Make sure Suzaku's around to see it, at least, he'll be really impressed.

[ Taking off his gloves, he nimbly unruffles one of his braids, wavy hair spilling over a shoulder. ]

We've got no choice now.

[as_reckless_as_ever]

...

[He'd say something, but he gets the feeling arguing would be futile right now.]

Gino...

We should probably wash your hair while we're at it.

[engilding]

[ Wow, rude!! ]

There's nothing wrong with my hair!

[as_reckless_as_ever]

How often do you take your braids out?

[engilding]

Every time I shower! Does my hair look greasy?

[as_reckless_as_ever]

[Yeeeaaaah he's not gonna answer that question.]

I'll wash it anyway. You're getting full-service hair care!

[And you don't get to argue this Gino, though now Suzy has to find a good place where he can wash your kinda greasy hair.]

[engilding]

[ So not greasy! What is with your eyes, man. Self-consciously re-braiding like lighting, fingers feeling out the back of his neck. ]

Er - okay.

[as_reckless_as_ever]

[Shush, his vision is perfectly fine. And he swats at the hand rebraiding the hair. Those golden locks are Suzaku's to mess around with now; deal with it.

Careful what you wish for, and all of that.

And, look, there's a sink and a chair right there because, fuck it, it just is don't question it.]

This should do. Have a seat, and I'll be right back.

[engilding]

[ Mournfully looking at Suzaku as he wanders off, Gino removes his cloak and tail-coat to sit down dismally on the chair, feeling more than a little sheepish that ... apparently he's having a really bad hair day??? Sob.

Unzipping his shirt a little, he takes out his other braids and inspects them with deepened interest until his stylist returns. ]

[as_reckless_as_ever]

[Suzaku is back in a flash, having gone to pick up some shampoo and conditioner that he pilfered from a certain other Britannian that he knows. So now, not only will Gino's hair smell nice (like flowers), it'll be softer than a kitten's fur.

He gives Gino a bit of a funny look when he returns, though. He didn't think his friend was that self-conscious about his hair.]

Relax, Gino. Your hair is-- is that a split end?

[He peers closer at one of the braids, though he may only be doing that to screw with Gino.]

[engilding]

[ dfghjk!! ]

Suzakuuu! [ Dude, that's just plain mean. WOE. ] Now you're just having far too much fun with this!

[as_reckless_as_ever]

[Suzy laughs, and ruffles Gino's hair playfully. It's okay bro.]

You're the one who keeps saying I need to have more fun.

[engilding]

[ Bububu. Not at his expense! ... Oh, who cares, as long as Suzaku smiles like that ... ]

You don't have to wash it for me, I can do that myself.

[ Suzy isn't his servant or anything, sob. ]

[as_reckless_as_ever]

Just relax, Gino. I got this.

[Let Suzaku be nice, bro.]

[engilding]

[ Sits there obediently, glancing over a shoulder curiously every few seconds. What a wriggler. ]

What are you going to wash it with again, sorry?

[as_reckless_as_ever]

[He's actually a bit amused by Gino's constant fidgeting, but goes ahead and undoes the remain braids (jesus fuck you had more hair than he thought, Gino) and turns on the water.]

Its just shampoo. Relax, I'm not gonna dye your hair or anything.

[But he does give it a nice rinse to begin with, then adds some shampoo (possibly a bit more than what's strictly necessary) and works up a good lather. Enjoy your scalp massage, Gino.]

[engilding]

[ He has All The Hair!!! ]

Oh ...

[ Leaning back, he closes his eyes and enjoys the feeling of hands sinking into his wet hair, arching this way and that until his chin is almost vertical and he might be trying to drown his eyebrows, letting Suzaku cradle the entire weight of his noggin. ]

That's ... good. I'm not surprised you're good with your hands, but this is wonderful.

[as_reckless_as_ever]

It's all in the fingers.

[He keeps this up longer than he likely needs to, since Gino seems to be enjoying it so much. He's like a puppy getting its belly scratched.]

[engilding]

All those buttons ...

[ - in the Lancelot, obviously. But who's focusing? ]

[as_reckless_as_ever]

...?

[Suzy-Q doesn't quite get it, but he's not going to question Gino's logic right now.

However, all good things must come to an end. So after thoroughly washing and conditioning Gino's hair (bro, your hair smells like Lelouch's roses), he gives it a final rinse then starts to towel dry it.]

[engilding]

[ He flails for a moment with what to do with his hands, but then Suzaku is towel-drying his hair and his muffled laughter echoes as he pushes his head closer to where he thinks it'll be best for the other man, nose up like a dog. ]

Do you do this regularly to other people?

[as_reckless_as_ever]

N-no.

[Well, not any more, which was what he was about to say. He's had a lot of odd jobs since he was ten.]

Thankfully, this was never one of my duties as a Knight.

[He continues drying Gino's hair, playfully ruffling it as he does.]

[engilding]

I shouldn't think it was. Hah, I feel special.

[ And he does! Look how happy he is, reaching those long arms behind his head to give Suzaku's waist a hug, head drooping forward as his hair is ruffled. ]

[as_reckless_as_ever]

And to think, a few minutes ago you didn't want your hair washed.

[He puts the towel aside, and smooths out Gino's hair a bit so its not looking like a birds nest.]

[engilding]

I didn't know you'd be this gentle.

[ Tipping his head back, he rests the crown against Suzaku's stomach. Hee. ]
