[ but he'll annoying flit over to adolphe's side anyway, touching his elbow lightly ]
Here, here, I think there's some bowls for hair washing over there. [ he points over to the type that salons normally have to rinse out dye and things ] We can use that?
But also, Adolphe is curious. Has Yves done that? He doesn't remember anything different even when he put his hair down either. (flashbacks to them stripping their wet shirts to see the reliver tattoo on Hugo's back) ]
[ that was so fucking funny oh hugo your giant tattoo that is so easy to miss ]
I didn't always have the time... but I do like taking care of my hair. I'm a little particular about my appearance [ both for trauma reasons and just for fun ] so it's nice to pamper every now and then, right?
[ with a little shine in his eyes... right, adolphe? :pien: ]
[ he'll make adolphe sit down in the spa chair, but then he'll automatically go to pick up his hand... he is far too comfortable with adolphe, he's at least still in the 'can i touch you' phase with other people
his thumb traces over where adolphe's inevitable sword calluses are ]
In the winter especially, it can crack and ache. It's good to have them for your hands especially if you wash them a lot after yard work or weapon maintenance.
[ He has too many calluses. It's not like Adolphe minds the touch either, because it's Yves and Yves will just be Yves, the boy he ignored for months on end and finally cracked through persistence. ]
[ He'll lie down on this chair? And position himself so that Yves can do it easily. He's definitely not used to someone else doing it for him though... ]
[ Yves doesn't really need the magic touch. Nobody has really done this for him before so he doesn't know the standard. Moreover, it feels nice anyway, so he finds himself relaxing and closing his eyes.
...
He actually falls asleep. It hasn't even been a week and he's already exhausted. ]
yves is amused at this, laughing to himself - but he'll finish up the job diligently! nicely doing adolphe's hair, drying it gently with a towel, snapping in some really cute hair bow accessories while he's still asleep, taking a selfie with unconscious adolphe in the background, taking out the hair accessories before he wakes up, and gently and slowly rising the chair so he can lay down normally and not get a neck ache from the bowl
you know, all the necessary steps
and then he'll go to sit in the nearby spa chair and comb hair oil into his own hair while he waits for adolphe to wake up hehe ]
[ Sometimes he forgets just how long Yves's hair actually is despite having seeing it so many times. Must be because he ties it back a lot. Yeah. Totally. ]
No, I... shouldn't have fallen asleep like that.
[ They're in the middle of doing stuff? And it's rude to Yves?? ]
[ it's not too bad!! yves will pick them out and then just immediately start bringing out small dollops to put on either of adolphe's hands, smoothing them over with a light touch ]
Can you guess which one Monsieur Lucas picked, and which one I did...?
[ hehehe
but adolphe will be able to smell the two different scents on each hand. one smells a little more masc, like a combination of vanilla and rum. the other smells delicate, like honeysuckle and brown sugar ]

yves just laughs at the incoming silence ]
Whoa, so nostalgic!

no subject
[ He has no idea what a spa entails, so he's just like. A bowl? For what? Waterboarding???
His mind is so grim. someone help him ]
Aren't there people who would usually do this for us?
no subject
Probably?
But I think I can still pick it up... The ladies in Coene ended up giving me a lot of beauty tips whenever I helped fulfill their requests.

[ Not for him! Everyone else though? Yeah. ]
I don't know anything about this, so you'll have to lead the way.
[ Mister "my only hobby is sword training and sword maintenance" ]
no subject
[ is that what adolphe said ]
Don't worry, I won't lead you astray! Let's go, let's go.
[ and he'll put his hands on adolphe's shoulders and lovingly steer him toward the hair wash sinks.... ]
no subject
What are we doing first...

[ Give him the spa treatment... make him realize Things, Yves. ]

Wouldn't it get slippery?
[ He said after your tasks, you fool. ]
no subject
Adolphe...
Do you think that lotion never dries?
no subject
[ He's not that dumb!!! Please!!! ]
no subject
They can... but it'd still be fine as long as you put on lotion after you're done with all your tasks. Then it won't get in the way.
[ gives adolphe's hand a little squeeze even without affection week because every week is affection week with yves, and then he just lets go ]
Relax for me, okay? I'm gonna get your hair wet and put some of this nice stuff I found in it.
[ don't let your drowning fear kick in, adolphe ]
no subject
Alright.
[ He'll lie down on this chair? And position himself so that Yves can do it easily. He's definitely not used to someone else doing it for him though... ]
no subject
You can close your eyes, Adolphe. I've gotcha.
[ and his touch is gentle! it's not quite as practiced as an actual hair stylist but he doesn't get water in adolphe's face and that's good enough ]

Yves--
[ Oh. He's right there. Adolphe starts calming down. ]
Sorry. I didn't sleep for too long, did I?
no subject
[ and he pops the 'p' on the word, amused as he finishing up combing out his hair, loose from its ribbon ]
Rest well?
no subject
No, I... shouldn't have fallen asleep like that.
[ They're in the middle of doing stuff? And it's rude to Yves?? ]
... But I got some rest, so I should be good.
no subject
If you're sure. Then let me just get the lotions that Monsieur Lucas and I picked out for you.
[ and only one of them was a gremlin ]
