"Ruki, are you sure this is a good idea?" Reita's voice was full of uncertainty as he sat on the edge of the tub.

Ruki only snorted. "Positive. After this, you'll be a changed man. Now," he forcefully pushed Reita's head downwards.

"Really, this should be easier if you just use the stool," he grunted, and that earned him a well-placed smack on the head. "ITTAI YO!"

Reita only sighed as he felt Ruki's plastic-covered fingers thread though his hair, carefully applying the hairdye on his roots. He always wondered why he goes along with his chibi friend's crazy ideas, but Ruki has a way of making the most ridiculous things sound like a grand idea. Ruki was combing the dye down to his tips now, and he could only hope that he doesn't get suspended with his new hair color, or worse: get expelled from the soccer team.

When Ruki had emptied the dye bottle, he covered Reita's hair with a pink shower cap. "Okay, so the box says to leave the dye for a couple of minutes, then we rinse it," he looked at Reita thoughtfully before adding, "Then we cut your hair."

Reita's eyes widen at the thought of Ruki near his hair with a pair of scissors. "Hey, we didn't agree on cutting my hair!" But Ruki only rolled his eyes.

"We agreed on a hair makeover, remember?" Ruki said, taking out a comb and his sharpest scissor. "Don't you worry about it, I know what I'm doing!" Reita could not say he liked the creative glint on Ruki's eyes.

"Fine," he huffed. "If you screw this up, I'm shaving your head." Ruki only waved his threat away and started going on about doing some fringes and maybe faux-hawks.
