"Alright, Sparky! I cut everything so we can start picking,” Y/N said while putting down the scissors.
Denki picked up the rat tail comb and began to work through the hair gently. Although they have been together for nine months, he still never got tired of doing this. Taking down their partner's braids. Yes, it was a long process yes, but they would sit on the living room floor, put on a Disney movie, and work through it. They were on their Avenger Series marathon, watching it in timeline order that Denki found on google, making the time pass quicker. Currently, they were in the first Thor film, and they were both experience bi panic again.
“What color do you want to do next?” Denki asked.
“Maybe red and blue mix. I think it would be pretty,” Y/N answered while carefully picking the comb through the braid.
“No yellow for me, baby?” he teased.
“But I did yellow and black last month.”
“You did purple last month. Then green the month before that. You haven’t done yellow this month,” he explained.
“Oh, you’re right, baby. Well, maybe I’ll do yellow this time. Now shush, we’re missing Loki.”
The pair went back to the de-braiding and eye googling until the movie was over and the hair was done. Y/N was putting the strands that didn’t make the plastic bag into for disposal.
“I still don't understand why you can't just reuse the hair.”
“Kami, I already told you that it's too much built-up residue, and it's not worth all the work to clean it.”
“But what if you washed it?”
“I could probably use it and stuff, but it would take too long to dry, and if not all the way dry, it would be hard to use. Just easy to throw it out.”
“But isn't that bad for the planet?”
“Maybe you and all of your wisdom Kami can find a way to reuse braiding hair to help the planet.”
“Maybe a giant washing machine that’s hair safe. So, like it doesn’t clog the washer.”
“Okay, but where would the soap go.”
“In the same slot as regular soap. But it would be shampoo," Denki said as he moved the small container of charms to reuse.

“But wouldn’t that flood the washer with shampoo.”
Denki blinked from the couch while moving to sit cross-legged on the couch in his ‘thinking pose.’
“Okay, that’s a fair point.”
“And then babe, you would need to worry about how to dry it since throwing it in the dryer could be a fire hazard," they said while tying up the garbage bag to be taken out later. "Can you run this out and start prep for dinner while I wash my hair?"
"Sure thing, babe," Denki stood up, went to kiss Y/N before grabbing the trash to take out.
"And when you start don-"
"Sliced chilies for spice. I swear you and Bakubro hate me," Denki said as he stood up to pick up the bags of used hair to toss.
Y/N went to the bathroom to wash their hair out, enjoying the brief moment of silence before Denki returned from outside, washed his hands, and turned on the radio to sing to whatever popular song was on the radio.
