[ that seems like a weird thing for mafuyu to request, but okay! ]
But you know, I think he'd be your friend anyway~? Or I think it's hard to imagine not wanting to be your friend, haha. But we can get you another wig! The same style and color, or will Natchan get a haircut?
[ "Low-sugar" and "diet" are words that have no place next to ice cream omg is that what it is? It might as well be frozen skim milk in that case. The face Mafuyu pulls is with these thoughts in mind, but she'd make the same face for the Doubt that people are tripping over themselves to become her friend— it takes a very special person to stick around, and for so many years as Hinata has. Part of that might be Stockholm syndrome? Who knows. ]
Nah, it can't be too different, or he wouldn't believe it's still Natsuo. Maybe a long wig? I could try actually looking like a girl.
[ he should have brought a camera to take a picture of her face when she said that... ]
Hm? You look like a girl already, you know? Mafu's features are cute. [ thanks, hinata. ] But if you got a long wig, I could braid your hair or put in cute hairclips, so that could be fun!
[ The last time somebody called her cute, she wanted to punch him in the face; coming from Hinata, though, it's not as patronizing, and she huffs a little at the thought of braids. She can braid her own hair but only sort of. I can also get a good regain off braiding hair; her canon is surprisingly SOL sometimes. ]
How come you're good at braiding hair? You practice on your sister?
I never have time to clip my hair back and stuff, and rubber bands hurt!
[ Like actual rubber. bands. They're terrible and aren't meant to be used for tying hair. Also things you shouldn't do with hair: grab a bunch of it like Mafuyu does now, and sort of... tries to twist it into a bun? Except it's more a dead knot than a bun and she will never get it out. ]
Can't see anything you're doing either, like this... Short hair's a lot easier, you don't have to worry about anything!
[ he doens't bother asking her if she has a comb, he just gestures for her to turn and pulls out one of his own (pink) to try to work that knot out oh my god... ]
There are definitely styles that are good for on the go even with your hair length!
[ Why does he carry a comb/if Mafuyu carried a comb, it would get snapped by the end of the day. She drops her hands and lets Hinata do his thing, though, thinking she can just cut it off if need be. ]
I can only pull back an inch or two into a ponytail, you know? Maybe if I shave my head bald? Think that'd look cool, or like... baldy...
[ That thing people say to make fun of others but never really made sense when people aren't bald, idk ]
[ BECAUSE HE LIKES TO HAVE NEAT HAIR. he's being pretty gentle as he untangles it. ]
I don't think you need to do that! Ah, even at this length we can do little braids? like...hm, if I just french braid it back a little, it can be half back. Out of your way but still down~
[ Oh, cute... Maybe one day I'll regain her delinquent long blond hair and Hinata can do a lot more with it. With just this much, though, Mafuyu looks super pleased. ]
Really? Then same with me! Turn around and I'll do yours when you're done!
[ Why does nobody ever say no to Mafuyu... Either they don't know, or they're too scared to say no, or they're Hinata who isn't either of these things but lets her do her stuff anyways ig ]
Hmm. I got some hair ties, but I don't own a lot of hair clips...
[ Her mom might have some? Maybe she'll go dig around the bathroom to see if there's any in the drawers, but in the meantime, she can pull Hinata's hair back into a messy ponytail, combing his hair back with her hands instead of a comb and missing strands of hair at his nape. ]
[ The paperclips she has are the weak colorful plastic ones that she chains and clips onto the hairband, and then loops it around his head to the other side. Tada! Now they match. ]
[ Selfie time with his phone!! Two free hands means double V-signs from her. After all that was [DEATH'S LAMENT], having both hands free is a blessing. ]
[ PLEASE NEVER LET THEM HANDCUFF THEMSELVES TOGETHER EVER AGAIN anyway hinata does peace signs and after taking it will text mafuyu the picture and also set it as his wallpaper ]
She goes ahead and sets it as her wallpaper too, previously a blurry motion shot of the back end of her cat while she was trying to escape. She'd taken that picture two afternoons ago and changes her wallpaper that often too, so, well. Hinata can stay until the next selfie. ]
[ I want to say debatable but Baren and Bucky are probably smart enough not to come withing ten feet of them and handcuffs again ]
Of course! If something's fun, then I want to do it! If something's not, then I won't do it, and I'll find something else! Isn't that how it is with everyone?

Mm, okay! [ hinata no...and yet once he's done - and he's fast! - he will obediently turn around. ] Although I'm normally fine with just hair clips~

Haha! So, a wig and a cake...those are doable! Mafuyu, you get really happy about fun stuff, don't you?
