Title: But you look fantastic
Word Count: 305
Notes: Characters are from BBS but I'm pretty sure it's not spoilery. Also I don't think I've written like this before...it's weird..sorry
Look around the corner.
Safe.
Shuffle out into the hall, still safe.
Next corner, proclaimed safe and rounded. Straight shot to your bedroom.
You beeline for it as fast as your old legs will take you, looking like a kidnapper, bundle tucked under your arm and golden eyes shifting around.
Or a kid with a new toy judging by the grin on your face.
Made it to your room. One last look around before you slip inside and shut the door, eagerly scuffing to the bed and laying your prize out.
Ok, one more look over a hunched shoulder, making sure the door is shut.
Liver spotted hands reach out shakily towards the bundle on the bed, eyes narrowing in concentration and anticipation.
Carefully unfold one edge.
Then the next.
One more.
You bounce on the balls of your feet as the corner of your prize is revealed.
A large huff and the anticipation is too much. You tear into it like a child on Christmas.
There it is.
In all its beauty.
You grab at it, hugging it quickly before sliding it onto your head.
The weight is lovely and perfect and you turn around, eyes closed in rapture.
Your eyes open and you stop.
Vanitas…
“………………”
Don’t say anything…..don’tsayitdon’tsayitson’tsay-
“Is that a...pink wig…”
You stand as straight as your old body will let you, tossing the pink, lovely, shiny faux hair over your shoulder and leveling a stare at the young man.
“Not a word…”
Vanitas holds up his hands and turns, shaking his head and closing the bedroom door again.
You stand still another minute or two before your eyes catch your reflection in the mirror.
You turn to it, embarrassment forgotten as you think of how good you look and how well this will go with the others in your collection.
