The rosebush by Cristina Gonzalez

[ ✖ ] – Akane had held the brush out to her elder crewmate without much thought, figuring that because he had put his hair down, he was readying to care for it. She recognized the motions because she would do them a lot herself, being the owner of a very long mane of thick hair. She may not be the most feminine woman, but her hair was something that she cared for, perhaps preserving it because it was the few things that helped her appear feminine. “I just… assumed I guess.” It was the best answer she could muster up, feeling surprisingly shy around the commander she has yet to speak much to.

His offer to brush her hair came as a surprise, catching Akane off guard. Eyes widened and lips slightly parted, the redhead was lost for words for a moment before she gathered herself enough to respond, “…I don’t see why not. Thank you.”

Placing down the cup of tea she had been tasked to bring the commander to his quarters, Akane then moved to sit down in a chair that was placed in front of a mirror. “It was windy today so it’s probably tangled. It’s uh… usually better than this.” She felt more nervous than she expected herself to be, and she wondered why until she considered that hardly anyone has touched her hair, let alone got close enough to brush and care for it. Who was the last person to brush her hair for her… her mother when she was a child?

Izo could easily see Akane was hesistant and maybe even a little uncomfortable around him, which he couldn’t blame her for. His temper could be just as bad as Ace’s, and he probably looked a little more intimidating that he actually was, a fault on his side. But now he had the chance to change someone’s view about him, in private where they would be undisturbed.

Grabbing one of his combs, Izo let his fingers run through the fiery strands first, to get a feeling of the thickness and general condition they were in. The result was surprising, much better than he’d thought, as Akane didn’t seem like the type to care much about her hair. But this was even better for what Izo had in mind.

“Don’t worry, your hair is stunning, it’s so long, yet in such a good condition! You really should do more with it, you could wear a different hairstyle each day!” Izo gushed while combing out any knots until the hair was all soft. He already had plans for what to do with it, desiring to braid it, which would definitely be a big change to Akane’s usual style. He really couldn’t just simply comb then when he had the chance to work with gorgeous hair like this.
