Soren bit his lip, staring at the mirror. He tossed his hair one way, then the other, staring at his part contemplatively. He combed it down in front of his face and pinched it around the level of his eyebrows, and pulled the rest out of the way of his eyes, imagining how he might look with bangs.
He thought it’d be cute.
He’d had this hairstyle for months, now, and didn’t want to get boring with his appearance. Of course, he knew his owner preferred long hair, all the specialized products and the frequency that they ran their fingers through it were more than evident. But bangs could be charming, and he really liked Ren’s bangs. Maybe they could be matching! The idea warmed Soren.
He combed through his hair real quick, splitting the part again, and left his bedroom. He scratched at his birthmark as he went down the stairs, and looked for Ren. They were in the living room, their laptop sitting open to the side, linked up to the tv where that one youtuber they liked was showing off disciplinary measures with their box boy. Soren didn’t care much for the Host, but they were a good reminder that he should be grateful for Ren.
“Hello angel,” Ren said distractedly, lifting their arm, and Soren plopped down on the couch, snuggling in against their side. He closed his eyes and felt them pet at his hair, silently pleased. He’d bring up the idea of a haircut later, when Ren was done. He wouldn’t interrupt them or take away from what they were doing. He was a good pet.
