that's honestly really cute!! not Quite the same, but i've also met some of my precious friends through commenting on their fics (either on ao3 or through sending anon asks about them)! and yeah, i get it. i generally don't expect anyone to share my hcs, but sometimes people Do, and when it's something that is really personal to me i'm like... awww<3...... truly means a lot.

oh for sure, i think they would have liked to mess around with their hair in general, ribbons were just the first thing that came to mind. i adore eichi's bow in the new card... AND I AGREE WRT THE SCISSORS THING. i think when they make the choice to 'stop playing around' they do chop off their own hair. and it, once again, ends up looking very messy and keito, once again, offers to fix it for them. small moment of comfort before they decide to leave that part of themself behind entirely...

ALSO sorry to butt in on the conversation, but eichi said something about how 'pain is also a form of pleasure' to leo (in 'the king's horseback ride'). i'm not sure if that's the line you were referring to though, and it is quite possible that they've said something similar to keito as well. just thought i'd mention it

it's nice!! it's just really nice to experience.

yeaaaah there's just not a whole lot to do when youre baby eichi and not really allowed to do much. surely he didn't spend the majority of his childhood in the hospital but i'm sure he spent a lot of it sick with whatever it is that is going around at the time. but yeah thats something thatll leave you restless and fiddling with whatever youve got available so i assume a lot of it was fucking around with their hair as a baby. and yeaaaah i think its at first like a messy haircut and then smth that obviously has to get fixed up. dramatic homemade shitty haircut in a moment of crisis, but your tenshouin eichi age 14.

AND OKAY THANK YOU it makes sense if it was leo, thats probably what i was thinking about i dont think hes said it more than once. its been a while since i went back to read older eichi stories specifically
