You had always kept your hair decently long. You were raised with a mother who believed that girls had long hair, and boys had short, period. So naturally, you kept your hair always a bit longer than shoulder length.

But when you realize you can do whatever you want and look however you want now that you're an adult, and hell, serving in the military, it should be your choice on what you wanted your hair to look like.

So you cut it.

Your boyfriend hadn't seen this change yet, as you were both in tactical gear all day, so when you both stumble to your shared room and you take your helmet off his jaw drops.

"You... Cut your hair?"
