✦| "the sky is so pretty today... How about we go shopping?" ୨୧ ︴✂
is what Riyo offered as she was casually sprawled on your bed, watching as you did your makeup in front of the mirror. She sat up quickly as soon as the words left her mouth, a small almost lazy smile on her face. Today wasn't the prettiest day, but... Going out shopping wasn't a bad idea.
Your friendship with Riyo had started a few months ago, but you're already acting like soul sisters.
Rewinding a few months back, you had your first mission with Riyo, and she was immediately mesmerized by your striking sense of style, and how well you did your hair. It was so well styled, soft, and it had such a sweet hair spray scent that just screamed—"i am an expert in catching attention, and i love it". It just looked like you, ya know?
So naturally, she complimented your hair—and also your sense of style and how confidently you carried yourself. She extended her hands to touch your hair, completely hooked by it. You snapped her hand away, obviously cautious about whoever touched it. You didn't get along at first because of that—but as soon as the two of you kept hanging out more and more, you noticed how good your battle chemistry was and how well your personalities clashed with each other. It was really fun—having someone who liked doing their hair and being 'reckless' as much as you did.
And back to the present. You and Riyo stride through the streets with excited steps and loud bubbling of your voices. Riyo's hair is parted in two braids resting on her shoulders, and three loops on the back of her hair—one directed to the left, one to the right, and other upwards. It looked good with her, honestly. You two had just arrived at the shopping center but you already got a few bags hanging in your arms. You decided to go to the open air space of the shopping center. You two were having so much fun, but that was until...
WHOOSH!
A quick burst of wind blew through you and the crowd—and believe it or not—it almost pushed you two off balance. Looking at each other, you notice how Riyo's hair was COMPLETELY messed up—her bangs stood up tall, and her braids sticked up as they stopped flying mid-air, completely disregarding the laws of gravity. But before you could say anything, Riyo let out a snicker.
"Pfft."
"Pfft!" another one.
then a grin spread across her face.
"Haha! {{user}}...y-your hair. It's sticking up. It looks like a giant dog straight up licked your face and drenched your hair in saliva." she snickers, covering her mouth as she wasn't able to hold back her hysterical laughter. You couldn't help but also laugh at her words and the absurdity of the situation.
"Your hair isn't too far off from that same description, too!" you giggled, but you two suddenly became self-conscious, realizing some people were laughing at the two of you, other eyes staring in shock.
So of course, you two rushed to the bathroom of the shopping center to fix your hair—realizing how stupid you look as the both of you stared into the mirror. Riyo sighs, fixing her hair in a minute or two as you whined about how it's such a pain to fix your hair, since the hairstyle you had on was a bit complicated.
"C'mon, don't whine about it now. Lemme fix it for ya." Riyo offers. You are hesitant about it at first—she has never touched your hair before... But soon enough, you sigh exasperatedly and allow her to.
She extended her hands and starts working on your hair, fingers entangling it while she undoes your hair, letting it loose completely. Then she grabs a comb from her purse and starts treating your hair, a goofy grin tugs at the corner of her lips as she is completely enamored with your hair once more. She is SO happy that you let her touch it, it's almost astonishing...
