"Don't you at least want to try? I know it won't make you feel as good, but for me it'd feel just divine..."

"Hair first?" Adrian said weakly. It was beginning to bother him to even look at it.

"If you say so."
He sat and waited patiently for the scissors, fingers twisting in his lap.

After yet another trip to get the appropriate materials, Adrian returned with a pair of scissors in his left hand- he didn't particularly trust the right for such a delicate operation as this.
"Turn around."

He did so so well that his hair swung in a very schoolgirlish manner.

"I'd still advise you to have someone who actually knows what they're doing finish this up properly, but I should be able to get you at least presentable enough to be able to ask for that in the first place."
Adrien's hair had always been pushed back from his face in a way that had more or less disguised its length, Adrian realized. As it was now, the boy's hair ended- well, you could see a little bit of earlobe on one side that was hidden on the other, and the back showed signs that it had never been intended to be as short as it was now. Adrien had apparently just kept having to cut more and more off to try to make it even.
"You may be better served just cutting it short and starting over again," Adrian remarked.

The hurt little defensive noise he made in his throat showed just what he thought of that poorly thought out idea.

"Oh, fine," said Adrian, feigning offense. "It was just an idea."

He turned his head sharply, looking him straight, almost unnervingly, in the eye, with an expression of utmost remorse.
"I'm sorry," he said.

He wanted to grab Adrien by the shoulders and shake him until he stopped doing that.
"No, it was my fault," Adrian muttered.

"Well, I didn't want to hurt your feelings."
It looked like he was getting a particularly agonizing idea, and he looked down at his hands, which fidgeted a moment. Then he looked up at Adrian as though resigned to something terrible and asked, timidly, "Adrian... would you like it to be short?"

He shut his eyes and took a deep breath, slightly ashamed of how irritated this was somehow making him.
"I don't want to make you unhappy."

"I want to make you happy," he said, with overly-specifically even breathing. "So if you want it to be short..."

"...no, Adrien, I don't."

Adrien smiled in relief. Pulling himself up with his hands on Adrian's shoulders, he gave him a gentle kiss and then sat down again, turning around once more.
