Prompt: female character has hair envy for a male character
“May I touch it?”
He whips around, looking startled. “We’re on a stakeout.”
“Please?” She bites her lip.
She’s kidding, right? He can’t speak so he just nods instead. She hesitantly reaches out, stroking curls tucked behind his ear. She vibrates slightly and smiles.
“It’s so soft. Women would kill for that, you know. How do you manage it?”
“I-inattention mostly.” Her fingers are burrowed into his hair now, lightly circling the skin beneath. “And dandruff shampoo.”
“A-ha… your secret’s revealed.” She chuckles and pulls her hand back.
He’s suddenly sure that he’d kill to do the same to her.
