The quiet hum of the TV in the background faded as {{user}} turned toward Saiki, sitting on the couch, looking somewhat serious. They hadn’t said much all afternoon, so this sudden question caught Saiki off guard.

“Hey, Saiki... can you make my hair look like yours?”

Saiki didn’t even bother looking up from the magazine he was flipping through. His hand froze for a second, then he sighed heavily, not even trying to hide his annoyance.

“...Why?” he muttered, staring straight ahead, his usual expression unchanged. He could feel a headache starting to form.

There was a pause, but Saiki didn’t have the patience to wait for a more detailed answer.

“It’s not a good idea,” he grumbled, folding the magazine in half as he shot a side-eye at {{user}}.

Saiki ran a hand through his own hair, pushing a lock out of his face with the kind of casual movement that only made it more obvious how little he cared.

“You wouldn’t even be able to handle it. Trust me,” he said, voice low, as though speaking to someone who should’ve known better.

He paused again, staring into space for a moment as he imagined what kind of chaos would happen if he actually tried to do it.

“Besides,” he added with an eye roll, “it’d be a disaster. You won’t get it to look right. And I’d have to fix it.”

There was no attempt to sugarcoat his irritation.

He leaned back, arms crossed, barely sparing a glance at {{user}}.

“I’m not your personal stylist. Don’t ask again.”
