'S Jim. Leave a message.
[ Baths beat showers, but it was still a lot of fun. Still wet and warm from the shower as he approaches the boyfriend to help himself running his fingers through his hair. ]
Hey. It's growing again.
[ His voice is low to keep any of their critters from hearing. Reaching around him to snag something off the counter ]

[ It's still damp and soft, and a little too long. Jim never bothered to go back and neaten it up after gifting it to the fire place - there'd been too much else going on - so there are ragged spots all around the back where he'd had it in a braid. ]
Bet it looks kinda weird back there.
[ He doesn't sound too concerned about that, though; being petted is distracting. ]

[ Feeling the different lengths and then parting it to press a kiss there. ]
I can try to fix it if you want.
[ Snagging the brush from the counter. Helping himself to running it through his hair. ]
I've been getting a lot of practice in with Zack's hair.

[ Jim's still not sure how you actually tell the difference between Zack's hair when it's cut and when it isn't, but he's not about to voice that when it might mean Zell stops playing with his hair.
He's smart like that. Also a little dazed: ]
Huh?
[ Right, right, haircut. ]
-Right. Yeah, you can try.

[ He likes it when Jim is dazed. For a moment he ponders on just dragging back to the hot water to chase that feeling.
Laughing softly as he bumps his chin against Jim's shoulder. ]
Have scissors?
[ Running the brush through Jim's hair to check it out ]

[ There's no message. Only an attachment.
Then again, it's probably impossible not to catch onto the context the moment he opens it. ]

[ Dazed and smiling dopily over at Zell. ]
In the bag. Want me to go get them?
[ Or they could just stay here. Like this! ]

[ Or they could just stay here. Like this! ]
[ That's an expression he really likes. The bag does seem really far away and Jim is right here. Planting a kiss against his hair as he sighs contently. ]
I'll get them.
[ Not showing any signs of moving though as he continues playing with his hair. ]
Later. [ As in much later. ]
I'll get them.
[ Not showing any signs of moving though as he continues playing with his hair. ]

Later. Good.
[ In a few days would be fine, honestly. ]
You're not gonna make me look funny, are you?
[ In a few days would be fine, honestly. ]
You're not gonna make me look funny, are you?
[ In return Zack gets a video of Jim holding up the certificate and lighting it on fire. ]
[ He wants to murmur about laters and what else they can do, but then Jim brings up looking funny. Snickering as he massages his scalp. ]
Is that even possible?
[ Nuzzling against the back of his ear ]
I mean, we might have hair dye some where still.

[ RUDE AS FUCK.
But that's okay. He'll just send him another digital copy later on.
NOTHING LIKE DATA TO KEEP THE SPIRIT OF YOUR INDUCTION ALIVE, BRO. ]

You could, like, shave one entire side.
[ Actually that might be kind of cool...?]
Or do it all crooked.

[ SUPER GODDAMN RUDE.
Enjoy having it sent back corrected to "anti-fan" club. ]

Isn't it already crooked? [ That's what the point to this was, right?
Giving his hair a tug up as he considers. ]
Shaving it might be nice. [ Scritching along the back of his neck . ]

Yeah, and it looks stupid. So don't make it worse.
[ Not that Zell would, but it's important to get all the facts -
And yep, Zell's playing with his hair again. ]
Might be -
[ Words, what are words? ]
Cold?

Cold?
[ One of the things he will never get tired of is when Jim forgets his words. Going to keep up his ministrations. Keeping his voice low and playful as the conversation continues. ]
You know I wouldn't. [ But for that... ] Maybe we should do it in a room without mirrors.
[ Thinking of the cold thing for a bit. ]
Can always wait until we're home.

[ When the admin sends out the message, he at first doesn't really think about it. And then he hears another notif and looks again. It's repeating. Is she broken?
Then it looks like gibberish. Different languages cover his screen and it's pretty freaky as hell. He heads to where Jim is in the morning to show him. ]
Jim, look at this?
[ He waves his tablet around to show? Is still sleeping? Does Zell need to climb on him because he will. ]

[ Jim is sketching in his book, not paying much attention to the tablet. He hears it go off, but if it's something important one of them will probably tell him about it.
He only looks up when he hears Zell moving around, and there's a question on his lips until absolute gibberish comes out of his boyfriend's mouth. ] ]
Uh.
[ There's a pause. ]
What was that?

You think I trust you that much?
[ Jim absolutely does trust him that much, but it wouldn't be Jim if he didn't tease. ]
I don't want to keep it crooked, c'mon.

[ Okay he has to stare for a moment cause WHERE DID THAT COME FROM. Zell reaches over to cup his face. ]
Can you repeat that, Stars?
Can you repeat that, Stars?
I know you do.
[ He says it without any hesitation. ]
And if you don't...I think I can persuade you, Stars.
[ He hopes he can at least. He presses a kiss against his hair and then lets him go to locate scissors from his stuff. ]

[ Jim's eyebrows are doing the thing Zell likes. ]
Zell?
[ That, at least, should sound familiar - though it's accented a little weirdly. ]
Is the translator broken?
Zell?

Is the translator broken?
[ Eyebrows and another language? Zell shouldn't find this as hot as he does. His cheeks are flushed. ]
I think what was translating everything is broken now...
[ Putting tablet down to grab Jim's hands. Just going to tap morse code against it.
"Can't understand" ]

With my life.
[ That part is dead-serious and immediate, because it's true. The mischievous little twist of Jim's mouth that follows after, though... ]
But not sure if I do with my hair. Convince me.
