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.

[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. ]

[as_reckless_as_ever]

What did you think I was going to do, scrub all of your hair off?

Though... [He puts his hands on Gino's hair, flattening it and hiding it, and takes a look.] hmm... you'd look good bald.

[engilding]

[ He likes this side of Suzaku a lot, it lifts something in him to see his friend messing around and teasing (even if Gino staunchly hopes going bald will never happen, even to amuse him). And because it's all so nice and airy right now, the mood playful in a way he's unfamiliar with when faced with the Knight of Seven, he gives a clumsy shrug and laughs, tightening his backwards hug. ]

Don't I look good enough for you right now?

[as_reckless_as_ever]

You do. I'm just saying, in case you ever want to try something different.

[engilding]

If this is okay with you, then I don't want to change.

[as_reckless_as_ever]

I think I'll be fine with that.

[He taps the side of Gino's head.] Now let's see about putting these braids of your back into order.

[engilding]

But I'm still wet!
