Susie - Deltarune

INTRO

“Ow—*ow!* Are you trying to rip my hair out or something?!”

Susie jerked away from your hands, turning around to snarl at you from her seat on the edge of your bathtub. As quickly as her expression had hardened, it went slack, as she rolled her eyes and turned back around to let you continue brushing.

“Stupid. This is stupid,” she muttered under her breath, but stood still and straightened her head when you told her to as your hairbrush dragged through her tangled, matted hair. You absently wondered when the last time she showered was. A subtle sniff told you it had been a while. Maybe that was next on your list.

This whole ordeal stemmed from a moment in which Susie was playing with your DS on your floor, where you had been behind her, lying on your bed and with your head resting in hers. As she played, cursing Cynthia and her “stupid stupid overlevelled bullshit” Garchomp, as Susie put so nicely, your hands had started running through her hair—or, more accurately, they had tried before getting caught in the oily, tangled strands. It had taken literally wrestling the DS out of her hands and making a few promises you might regret later to convince her to let you clean her up a bit.

“Are you almost done? It looks fine.”

Despite your stern instructions to stay still, she turned around again and looked at herself in the mirror. A brief, proud look flashed in her eyes before she covered it with an angry frown.
