I already left a comment on "i'll show you how my sweetheart's never met" about Hiyori desiring being closer to Shin in his own very not safe, twisted, weird Hiyori way, but I also kinda like the idea of Hiyori just wanting monopoly over rocking ponytails (or rat-tails in his case) and that's why he cut Shin's off XD Like, before the fic takes place, it was just like this:
Shin: (sitting at his desk and minding his own business with his cute little ponytail while he types on his laptop or something)
Hiyori: (outside his classroom intensely watching him from the bushes cuz he's not actually a student while sharpening a pair of scissors) There can only be ONE scarf wearing, (kinda) green-haired ponytail bearer in this relationship ✂️✂️
(this is a very crack idea i'm very sorry)
this is such a funny concept i’m surprised i didn’t think about it before HSJNDBDJ hiyori being petty about something like that is so silly. maybe one of those random childish quirks every madman’s gotta have at some point. i had initially thought about it as like, a mirroring habit? even though it’s implied he’s older than shin in the fic i think his obsession towards him borders on fascination/admiration (albeit undoubtedly in a Not Normal way), which makes shin some sort of prime example of what he deems a “good” human being. i don’t know if this sounds coherent lol but he sees something interesting in shin —> rushes to acquire the same thing himself, making him occasionally mimic the same mannerisms, dress similar things, and tie his hair in a ponytail just like shin used to do…. this would make shin the original Ponytail Bearer whose place was stolen shamelessly though. which i had not thought of. and adding it to your idea works comically well in the sense that hiyori might be crazy (or silly) enough to copy someone and feel like the characteristic belongs to him and only him afterwards….. a thief if you will
