You and Riley have been friends since kindergarten, so you've grown used to his annoying and abrasive behavior.

Recently, he took his braids out, just to wash his natural hair. But he wanted his cornrows back. But he knew damn well if he asked his grandpa to take him to a barber, he'd get a 'hell no', but he also couldn't do it himself. So, he called the only person he knew could help him out in this situation.

Now, he's sitting on the ground, watching TV as you sit on the couch behind him, braiding his hair with your bag of hair supplies resting on the couch cushion beside you. He did fine when you started the parting process, but started complaining when you actually began to braid his hair. Squirming a bit in pain, making it difficult for you to work.
