There, all done! I think it's cute like this! Your hair is too layered to have even pigtails right on the sides, but little ones like this are perfect! What do you think?
Well, you aren't used to putting your hair up, right? Here, take a look.
[Don't mind him taking out his phone and switching to the front camera before handing it off to Yusuke. It's basically a mirror in a pinch, don't question this.]
[ He reaches a hand back to flick one of the ponytails on. Oh, hello front camera and the attractive Shrek-chin look it gives you automatically. How beautiful. ]
Because I am not used to it, it looks a little odd. But charming, nonetheless. What about you? How do you look with pigtails?
[Hey, he's holding it up at a nice angle! Unless Yusuke took it from him and angled it down, because then the double chin is entirely his fault. GOOD JOB.]
Hmm.... They were low in the back like this in my memory, since my hair was shorter. [Which he demonstrates by putting his hands where the pigtails would be.] But I think I have some spare hair ties in my bag, if you want me to match yours. But only because it's you!
Really? Okay, then I'll take your word for it! Do you think your artistic skill extends to this too?
[Give him just a moment to dig through his bag and pull out a few hair ties before sitting back down. They kind of collect when he doesn't empty the pockets out.... Your move, Yusuke.]
How are you so much better at this than me? Even without seeing it, I can already tell! Pinterest worthy for sure.
[Have you ever seen a good boy? Good job, Yusuke, he's actually inclined to take a picture of himself for once after seeing himself in the front camera.... but he doesn't just yet. Not until he can pull Yusuke in the shot, which he's absolutely trying to do.]
I'll have to get better at doing hair.... Maybe I can subject Mao to it, but his hair isn't that long either. Maybe Rise can teach me instead!
[The mental image of Yusuke with a bun is simultaneously hilarious and adorable, though, and he can't help but laugh a bit.]
There has to be a hairstyle out there that'll suit you well. [And he turns the phone around, showing off the picture he deems the best of the group.] You should send it to your boyfriend!
I didn't mean to change your current hairstyle! Just that there's probably a way to put it up, if you really want to. Like how I always do the same two or three styles of ponytails even though there are countless hairstyles to choose from.
[Well, maybe not countless, but.... take his current updo, for example!]
Have you ever thought of clipping your bangs back while working?
The next time I need to buy you a present, I know exactly what to get you.
[Are presents supposed to be surprises? Not anymore.]
Mine always falls in my face when I look down at my canvas or paper, so it's well worth it! Even if you wouldn't wear one in public, it can be useful at home.

Hm. [ He shakes his head, the pigtails swooshing. ] They feel a little strange, if I am honest.

If you sit, I will do my best to make you look as charming as I apparently look.
[ said a little dryly. ] We can say it's practice for the end goal. [ SANJI PIGTAILS. ]

Probably not. [ RIP. ] Let me know if I tug your hair too much, I'm not trying to cause harm.
[ But he'll do his best. And run sooooooothing fingers through Izumi's haaaaaaair. Ahhh. ]
no subject
That's okay, I can't do anything more complicated than this! I already know I'd be bad at braids, or else I'd try them on you.
[Still, he hums softly as Yusuke runs his fingers through his hair. If nothing else, at least it's smooth and silky! Like a girl's.]
You're more gentle than I am.... [Don't mind him closing his eyes.] This feels really nice.
no subject
It seems as though it'll be easier if I remove any knots first. Now, please hold still--
[ And he's twisting that smooth, silky hair of Izumi's up and into adorable pigtails. All together now. Awwwwww. ]
no subject
[Even without seeing it yet, just having his hair twisted up into pigtails already feels cute. Awwwww!]
How does it look? Do we match now?
no subject
[ Hmm. Well, he is an artist. Hold up, if he adds a little twist here, and a little braided part here, then... ]
You look very Pinteresting worthy, if I do say so myself.

Smile! To remember the occasion!
no subject
[ WHAT A GOOD BOY. He lets his hands drop, and -- uh oh, here he goes. He's being dragged into a picture. What is this. Hello?
He does manage to smile and while it looks a tiny bit bewildered, but it's a smile! A proper one! ]
no subject
[Oh no, cute.... Don't mind him taking a few too many pictures (just in case!) before pulling back and trying to select the best one.]
I usually don't like taking pictures of myself, but these turned out pretty well!
no subject
About the bun? [ .... ] I have never considered how my hair would look in a bun. And I know I don't have enough hair for a bun.
[ Oh. Photos. Right. ]
I don't usually take many selfies, so... I will trust your judgement on these.

[ He will do exactly that, about two months later. ]
I like the one I have now. It suits me... and is easy to upkeep. I think those are very important factors.

I see... so it would be both practical and stylish at once, hm?
no subject
I probably have a couple in here. With the way you keep your hair parted, I think it'll look good on you!
[And look at that! Lo and behold, he pulls out a few hair pins. These are definitely Hinata's, but OH WELL.]
Want to give it a try?
no subject
You're quite adamant I should, it seems. [ But he's holding out a hand for the pin. ]
no subject
[At least he's handing the pins over and letting Yusuke do it on his own this time.]
