Zoro!Mingi
inspired by the live action one piece netflix recently did...
I've never watched the anime and I know absolutely nothing about the lore, I'm literally just going based off my obsession with mackenyu and mingi so please bear with me
thinking about Mingi as Zoro...
hear me out
pink haired, buzzcut Ming??
just green instead
iconic if I do say so
anyway
you live a simple life on a little, fairly unknown island in the East Blue
of course, you're well aware of pirates, it's impossible to live here and NOT have any exposure to them
or their drama
but nonetheless, you stay out of it
you wake up in the morning in your humble little home and go to and from work at the bar
which isn't even really a bar
more like a hang out spot for people who happen to pass by
at most, the bar has like, 10 customers, but even then, they never get too rowdy
it's a simple life, but you're grateful for the peace and quiet
and the stability
so when you wake up one fine morning, you really don't expect anything to be different today
after all, you've lived here for years, and as mundane as it sounds, every day has been the same, day in and day out
you do your morning routine, splashing some water on your face and making yourself a simple breakfast, some lightly toasted bread with butter
and a small glass of milk
you were craving some coffee, but your stash was running a little low and you were not in the mood to go to the market anytime soon to stock up
so, after getting ready and eating your breakfast, you grab your small satchel and leave the house, heading to work
you wave hello to your boss and your other coworker as you walk in, being greeted back enthusiastically by the latter
after putting on your frayed apron and tying your hair up, you walk back out and began helping your coworker wipe down some of the tables
it was a quiet day, only two lone patrons in the entire building
eventually, your boss had disappeared to some unknown area
(probably to flirt with the owner from the store next door, but that's none of your business)
you had sent your coworker on her break, despite her insistence on staying to help you out
"Unless a band of pirates or the marines show up requesting an absurd amount of liquor, I think I'll be just fine managing the two people here" you said
taking a glance at the older man who was passed out on the table with multiple bottles of beer surrounding him, you continued
"and I don't think he'll be much of a problem anyways"
sighing, your coworker relented and thanked you, taking off her apron and disappearing into the back
the sound of the wooden beads that acted as a curtain clinking together brought you out of your thoughts
"welcome in!" you called out, bending down to grab the rag you had dropped before standing back up
the first thing you noticed about the man was just how big he was
he was tall and incredibly well-proportioned
his shoulders were wide and you could easily see the muscles in his arms thanks to the almost-too-small shirt he wore
wrapped around his tiny waist was a black cloth, and hanging from there were sheaths that carried not one, but three swords
quirking a brow, you allowed your gaze to creep up the man's body and towards his face
his hair was cut short, but it was also incredibly green
he had three earrings hanging from his left ear that swayed with every shift of the man's head
the man's face was beautiful, in a somewhat terrifying way
he had plump lips and a strong, straight nose
he had high cheekbones that could probably cut through glass and his eyes were perhaps the most beautiful, yet most intimidating things you had ever seen in your life
you watched as his eyes carefully scanned the room before spotting your figure
slowly, the man made his way to the corner of the bar and pulled out the seat before sitting down
he let out a loud sigh through his nose and looked over at you
"Three beers please"
his voice was so deep, deeper than the ocean surrounding your little island
"Coming right up" you turned around, grateful for an excuse to do something so you wouldn't get caught ogling
quickly grabbing three bottles from the cooler, you popped them open before placing them in front of the man
you sent him a small smile "Let me know if I can get you anything else"
he nodded in thanks before grabbing the first bottle and tossing it back
turning back around, you busied yourself with wiping down the back of the counter, sending occasional glances towards the green-haired man
a few minutes passed of you sneaking glances towards the man before you were startled by the loud sounds of yelling
looking up, you noticed a group of men, pirates, who had entered the bar
they were loud and rowdy, everything a pirate typically was, and you internally sighed
here we go
the pirates walked up to the counter and obnoxiously sat themselves down, ignoring the loud scraping of the chairs from how aggressively they had pulled them out
one of the men eyed you standing there and beckoned you over with a wave of his hand
grimacing, you placed a fake smile on your face and walked over
"what can I help y'all with?"
you could feel the eyes of the pirates moving up and down your body and resisted the urge to shiver
"get us the hardest liquor you have, in bulk, sweet thing"
you internally rolled your eyes, sending the man a curt nod
"coming right up"
-
an hour had passed since the green-haired man and the group of pirates had walked in
your coworker had since come back from her break, and, feeling bad for the poor girl's terrified looks toward the pirates, offered to take care of them while she attended to any of the other patrons
that unfortunately included the man with the swords who had first caught your eye, but you shrugged it off
he seemed to keep to himself, so you figured you could still admire him from afar
meanwhile, the group of pirates you had offered to take care of were slowly testing your patience
ignoring the copious amounts of alcohol they were consuming (you're pretty sure they were about to drink your work dry), they had become increasingly disruptive
the majority of the group were all incredibly drunk, shouting and yelling at anyone who supposedly looked at them wrong and breaking glasses and chairs, practically anything they touched
they had even begun to shout at you whenever they wanted more alcohol
while, to a certain extent, you were used to this, it doesn't mean it didn't get on your nerves
"GIRL!" a loud shout sounded out throughout the room
you sighed, turning around
"get us more alcohol now!" one of the men slurred
he could barely sit up straight and was leaning most of his body weight onto the passed out man next to him
"I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid I can't give you anymore," you sent him a strained smile
the man's face dropped and a scowl appeared on his face
"what do you mean? You bitch, you're probably keeping it from us!"
his face turned red in anger and he slammed his hand onto the counter
you barely flinched, staring the man down
"Sorry sir, but you and your crew are being too disruptive so I'm not allowed to give you any more drinks today"
turning around, you were about to begin washing some of the other cups when the feeling of something flying past your ear stopped you
something shattered on the wall right next to your head
the gasp of your coworker seemed to echo throughout the otherwise quiet bar
freezing, you glanced down at the floor only to see the remains of a glass cup
"If you don't want that cup to be aimed at your head, you'll bring us more drinks," the man shouted
you turned around angrily
"get out of my bar," you looked at the man in his eyes
he let out a sarcastic laugh
"I'm not listening to some stupid little girl," he snarled
"I'm not going to tell you again, get out of my bar or I have no problem making sure you and your crew will never be allowed to dock at this island ever again"
Can I actually do that? No. But he doesn't need to know that, you thought, secretly praying he wouldn't realize you were bluffing
the man snarled and within a split second, he was lunging across the counter with his arms outreached, attempting to grab you by the throat
you flinched, throwing your arms up in an attempt to protect yourself as much as physically possible from the angry pirate
but hands never came
opening your eyes, you blinked down at the floor before carefully looking up past your forearms
you saw the pirate who had lunged at you frozen with one leg on top of the counter and two hands outstretched
his eyes were wide and they looked downwards
following his eyesight, you couldn't help but gape at the long blade that was being held mere centimeters away from the man's throat
you followed the blade up its hilt and up the arm that was holding it only to find at the end, the green-haired man
he wasn't even looking at the pirate, sitting almost casually at the counter with his other arm preoccupied holding his beer
throwing the last remaining liquid down his throat, the man wiped his mouth before throwing a sideways glance at the pirate whom he still held his blade against his throat
"I think the lady asked you to get out of her bar."
the man's voice was even deeper, if possible
almost as if his voice broke whatever trance the entire bar seemed to be in, all hell broke loose the second those words left the green-haired man's mouth
the other pirates all but growled, immediately yanking out their own swords and charging towards the man
who still sat completely unfazed
"hey!-"
before you could even say anything, the green-haired man was up and had one of his swords drawn
almost as if he was fighting against children, the man was able to completely knock out every single pirate who had charged at him within seconds
you stood behind the counter, staring at him in awe
he didn't even look like he was sweating
the man stood with his sword drawn and pointed at the pirate who had initially lunged at you, head faced downwards
slowly, he looked up and cocked a brow at the pirate
"your move"
the pirate scowled and, grabbing his hat from where it lay on the bar, walked out of the room yelling profanities
and leaving his passed out crew behind
gaping, you watched as the man gracefully sheathed his sword and slowly sat back down in his original seat
you stared at him for a few seconds before grabbing something from beside you and walking over to where the man sat
you placed another beer on the counter and slowly slid it toward him
he glanced at the beer and then up at you
"A thank you," you started, "for stopping that man from trying to kill me."
the man nodded and wordlessly grabbed the bottle, taking a long sip
" I hate pirates like that," he spoke lowly
you nodded
"part of the job unfortunately," you shrugged
the man hummed
it was silent for a few seconds
"what's your name?" you asked curiously
the man glanced up at you through his eyelashes
bringing the beer to his mouth, he spoke over the rim of the bottle
"Mingi."
you nodded
"Mingi.." you tested the name on your tongue
"Well, Mingi, thank you again for helping me. If you ever need anything, I owe you one," you swore, holding out your pinky
the man, Mingi, looked down at your finger before looking back at you with a questioning look
"pinky promises can't be broken," you explained
it was silent for a moment as Mingi stared at your hand
you were about to pull your hand back, feeling embarrassed that you were using a childish action to make a promise
even if you wholeheartedly believed in it
but then
another pinky linked with yours
looking up, you saw Mingi already staring at you, a small smirk resting on his face
"I'll hold you to that, doll."

Idea, Darling wants to cut her hair short so badly, but Angelique forbids it and punishes her for even mentioning trimming her hair. Fed up with this Darling shaves her head one year in a fit of exhaustion and rage. Daring and Dexter go home for the holidays early just to ensure their parents don't flip and Darling dreads making it home. When she does get home Daring's Bald and Dexter dyed his hair bright green. All three of them are in trouble but its less so because all three of them did it and Darling is so happy having a short cut. Once it reaches a length she enjoys (more like jaw length), Dexter helps trim it and they claim her hair takes forever to grow back.
YES. YES YES YES TO ALL OF THIS.
i imagine that dexter has some experience with hair dyeing because of raven (and also piercing because raven can’t paint her nails AND pierce her nose) so he volunteers to help dye/cut her hair. daring also has some experience with dyeing hair because rosabella and briar don’t have natural hot pink and red highlights.
when they all come home, angelique is very excited to take pictures of her matching children (i imagine amgelique to be a lot like amity’s mom from the owl house). so you can imagine the sheer anger that she felt from seeing darling with jaw length pastel blue hair, daring with a buzzcut (BECAUSE THOSE HAIRCUTS ARE SO HOT AND I WILL STAND BY THAT) and dexter with bright green hair. dashing has to hold her back yet again from murdering her children. at dinner, she asks them which one of their delinquent friends convinced them to ‘do it’. she assumes it’s raven because “she’s always attracted trouble”, and that’s when darling tells her it was her idea. she was sick of being part of a matched set and that she had to be a perfect princess all the time. daring tells angelique that him and dexter did it out of support for darling because fuck angelique for thinking they all have special roles they have to fit into. dashing somehow calms her down and she doesn’t do anything else besides a few comments here and there.

Character Design (Pt. 1)
The Main Family
I want to preface this by saying I already wrote a post about the designs in this AU, but it was vague, uncertain, and most importantly, deleted by a tumblr glitch after a couple of days. This is an updated version of that. I also won’t put at many pictures; I’ll try to just name episodes and/or condense photos into a collage for a single character.
Anyways, this post is about changes to the design of the main family. Anything not addressed will remain the same. These will also only cover standard, present, everyday designs. Special clothes and flashback designs will be addressed as they come up.
Marge
Marge’s physical changes might be the least drastic. Her hair, still blue, will be one “head” smaller. By this I am referring to her pages in “The Simpsons Handbook: Secret Tips From The Pros.” Marge’s hair is broken into three sections: around her head, one head size above, and another head size above. Let’s level that down to only one “head” above. She’s not hiding rabbit ears anymore, we can do this. As for her outfit, I had a little trouble in deliberation, but I’ve decided on it mostly being the same, except her green dress has a sleeveless turtleneck on top like her orange peplum dress. This is mainly due to her job as a cashier now; her apron would look weird over a tube dress and I wanted her to have the same outfit at work (like how Homer wears a tie over his normal shirt at work). She has two bracelets like her early design (from her sisters) and still has her necklace. I considered maybe adding the flowers from her early design to her dress. After all, she has an art streak not just in painting but in sewing (think of her cute modifications to her pink Chanel outfit) and adding her own pattern onto the dress to “spice things up a bit” would be such a Marge thing. Still, I didn’t want to made her design too busy, and I also didn’t think flowers were super Marge. She’s more into classic looks and solid colors, I think.
Tumblr media
Homer
Anyways, Homer’s shirt is pink now! I outlined a ton of reasons for my Homer outfit decision in the original post, but I’ll make it brief. It’s mostly that pink was a strong color in the early stages of the show, that Homer isn’t as aggressive in this AU, and that we know pink with blue (his jeans) is a good color combo on him from his outfit in Stark Raving Dad, his prom outfit, and his suit at Lisa’s wedding. Speaking of Lisa’s Wedding, his bodily appearance will closer resembling that of that episode. It’s only a five year timeskip so he won’t be too different (no eye wrinkles for example), but he’ll be more top heavy, his shoulders and neck getting larger to even out his pear shaped beer belly we have now. His hair will be deteriorating too, instead of a zig-zag on the sides, it’s just individual strands.
Tumblr media
Maggie
The children will change the most, as obviously they are growing up. They’ll get taller and their hair will change too to better distinguish them. Maggie’s got fairly consistent hair in her future appearances: longer and parted with three spikes in front and 4-5 in back, depending on the episode. Her hair isn’t that long yet at 5, but it’s certainly parted already. Her face, to help distinguish her from Lisa, has a mouth more like (younger) Homer’s, with the curved upper lip.
So, I have something I’ve added as part of Maggie’s character which I’m only mentioning on this post because it helps inform her design. I am autistic and, although I know there’s a running gag in future episodes that she’s apparently talks a lot, here Maggie is nonverbal autistic. Anyways, I’m bringing this up because of my #1 favorite in-show future Maggie design choice: her pacifier necklace. You wanna know why? Stim jewelry. Now, Maggie has a necklace like Lisa or Marge, but hers only has one bead, and she sucks or chews on it sometimes to stim. Next, what do to about the onesie? I’d like to keep it something comfortable, maybe very loose, because that gag of Maggie constantly dripping over her own clothes can be kinda funny (so long as it doesn’t seriously hurt her, I never liked that trend of just tagging on characters for no reason) A blue sweater (looking like the top half of her onesie) and some bootcut jeans that are too long for her legs is essentially what I wore at that age, why can’t she do the same? All that matters is that she’s comfy.
Tumblr media
Lisa
Okay, we gotta talk about Lisa’s dress. A middle school girl in a strapless dress? Has the world gone mad? Yes it has, but in the American public school system, that’s not gonna fly. So what do we do, put straps on her dress or give her a whole new outfit? After a lot of consideration, I decided on a skirt the same color as her dress (blood orange, or is it “fucking red”?) with the spiky bottom too, with a lavender polo. Why lavender? Well, Bart’s imagination in “O, Brother, Where Bart Thou?” gives us a good look at that color combo (complete with white neck accessory) on someone with the almost exact same features as Lisa. We also see Lisa’s dress with straps, which looks okay for adult Lisa, but there’s too much cleavage for what I’d consider putting on a thirteen year old.
In addition to getting taller, like all of the Simpsons children, Lisa’s hair is changing, but it’s nothing we haven’t seen before. In a all her future appearances (much like Maggie, likely to help differentiate since they’re almost identical when grown), her hair is always styled one way: pushed back and down. But specifically I’m going to draw her hair design from, you guessed it, Lisa’s Wedding! What can I say, it’s just a good episode for character design... mostly. But I love the way her hair starts to curl in that episode. If we take the curl as coming from Marge, it’d make sense if she grew to look more like her parents.
Tumblr media
Bart
Alright, Bartman! Bartholomew is probably getting the most change, hence why I put him last. After all, he’s changed a lot in the show too (the color of his shirt from blue to... again, is it orange or red?) and his future appearances arguably vary the most. His hair is interesting, because although the design I’ve settled on for it matched fairly close to his 15-year-old self in Barthood, it’s actually based off of the music video for Deep Deep Trouble. He got his head shaved as punishment, and since I saw it I HCed that this happens whenever Bart gets in big trouble, so his hair is constantly a buzzcut because it’s always just growing out. As he matures a bit and doesn’t get caught as often, he can grow his hair out more. As for height... although most of his aged up appearances have him keep that pear shape to look like Homer, I figure since he has a bit more of an active lifestyle, he would shed some baby fat. I particularly liked his lanky look in that one “2006-2013 Family Portrait” couch gag, where he just kinda... stretches. It makes him look like he took after Marge some, which I like.
Clothes are fun. Bart has always been a rebel, and a very creative kid, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he started expressing himself in his clothes more. His lucky red cap and his earring from Simpson tide would almost certainly appear more, but in terms of his clothes, a simple orange shirt won’t cut it anymore. The bright orange might be too close to homer’s salmon pink or Lisa’s warm red, I’m altering the shade to be more brick. The shirt itself will be a floral button up (the pattern being his classic orange and OG blue as an homage) inspired by his clothes in Homer’s Phobia, Bart to The Future (where he also has an earring), and this post by @springfieldblues, which I love.
Tumblr media
That’s it for part one! Part two will focus on the nature of how character design will function in this AU as a whole, as well as changes to more minor characters.

The Pink Team
This has been a long time coming. this has taken up more time than I thought it would, but it’s done on time. David belongs to @caraaah from their comic Lisowski. Here he’s joined by my characters the Castillo sibling Kiki and Noi.
When sophomore year rolled around David just wished it would past as soon as the last, but the world seemed against him. It was impossible to miss them when he walked onto the school campus, they’re tall, the girl is. about as tall as him and the boy even taller. But that wasn’t the thing that made them stand out, it was their hair. Bright pink. Long silvery pink hair that stopped past the waist on the boy and short hot pink almost red hair on the girl. I looked nice on them, not sure how many people could pull of pink hair like that.
That would have been the end of his worries, there were just two teens who liked attention, which meant less attention that could be direct towards him. That was until about a week or two into the school year. He had learned their names by that point. Kiki and Noi Castillo, a senior and junior respectively, the only times he saw them was in the halls and during lunch. They seemed to be well like; he had spied Noi flirting with both girls and guys alike, and no one dared cross Kiki.
It was lunch when it happened. He had been sitting alone at his table near the corner of the cafeteria minding his business and shutting out the outside world. He hadn’t even registered the other guy sitting down across from him, not until a slim hand reached over and slid is tray a bit away. And there was Noi Castillo seated across from him, a bright smile decorating his face. He looked back down at his tray of food hoping that if he ignored Noi’s presents he would go away.
No such luck. He had learned fairly quickly that Noi wasn’t easily deterred. Noi continued to sit at his table for a days trying to elicit a conversation out of him. He also learned that Noi had no concept of what the words ‘Personal space’ ment, after the pink haired teen hand wrapped an arm around his shoulder.
Soon Kiki had begun to join her brother at his table. Kiki’s not as bubbly as her brother, quite the opposite. Despite her bright pink hair she looked down right dangerous, that nasty scar she sported under her eye was doing her no favors either. Pink was suppose to be a bright fun color right? Not on Kiki it wasn’t. She didn’t talk much when they ate lunch together but when she did he picked up the slight spanish accent she had.
Slowly he began to open but a little to Noi and Kiki; it wasn’t much really but it was enough for Noi to work with. It was also apparently enough for Noi to drag him to one of his little friend get togethers. Something he was apprehensive about but Noi constantly assured him it wasn’t many people.
And it wasn’t. It was a friday when they hopped into Kiki’s truck and drove to her home. There was only one person there when they arrived, a tower of a person, Scul. That has to me a made up name or a weird nickname, who names their child Scul.
Scul had to be a foot taller than him, it was slightly uneasy to be around him, yet astonishing. Maybe this is how shorter people felt around him. He had thought he was being inconspicuous when looking at Scul, his darker skin decorated with patches of lighter skin, and even a few parched of his hair is white.
“He has vitiligo.” He couldn’t help but jump, turning to find Kiki leaning over the back of the couch next to him. He knew that, it just he’s never seen in real life, he’s seen it in pictured and what not but to actually see a person with it was different.
It was only them three until about five rolled around, they had been talking - mainly Kiki, and Noi, sometimes Scul - and during that time he learned that Scul was very strange. He had only known the guy for a few hours and he was already calling him by a nickname, Blue eyes. Never once had Scul used his given name. That and he only talked with spoken to but only if you said his name? It was all very weird. He got to ask about Scul’s bridge piercing, only for Noi to answer after Scul just stared at him for a while. Apparently he didn't ask his question right. Weird.
When the rest of Noi’s friends came along, they had been in the middle of a movie, something that Kiki insisted they watch, a movie she’s watched a ton of times, if Noi was correct. He realized that when the rest of them came along he was among the shortest, only two other people being shorter than him out of the entire group of six.
He couldn’t remember all of their names. There was the redhead who was way to into the tattoo on Kiki’s back, the quiet guy with purple hair who seemed just as uncomfortable to be here as him, the guy with silver-blue hair who seemed to be Noi’s boyfriend - with how touchy Noi was with him it was hard to tell, and the only other girl besides Kiki looked like she could bench press him despite her small size.
Thankfully they didn’t seem to mind him being there, invading in their time together, Noi had told him they didn’t get to do this often. Besides their initial introductions, they didn’t seem to mind his presents there. Noi’s friends we’re a lively bunch - thankfully not as lively as Noi. Lucky for him, he had a spot to the calmest guy in the group, the guy with the silver blue hair. But that did mean Noi came his way alot.
Most of the night was past by playing songs that were way too explicit way too loud, Noi dancing on the coffee table only to be yelled at by Kiki to get down, and little games, like truth or dare.
They had rules that that all respected, never pushed boundaries when it came to the truths being asked, dares couldn’t cause bodily harm, you couldn’t pick the same thing three times in a row, and if yo refused to answer the truth or do the dare that they had to get a punishment. And it was those last two rules that landed him where he was.
He had used up his two truths, He wasn’t picked much, thankfully and it was easy to lie when he didn’t want to answer the truth, truthful, no one there knew him and wouldn’t be able to tell. When he did lie though he saw Noi quirk an eyebrow.
When it was his turn again he had to pick dare, those were the rules, plus he would always refuse to say no and take the punishment; they didn’t seem all that bad. The big guy had to wear one of Kiki’s dresses, he barely fit in it, Kiki had a mustache drawn on her, the quiet purple one had to go outside and yell penis as loud as possible, the silver blue haired guy couldn't eat anymore of the candies he carried with him, and Noi had to put his hair into twin pigtails. At that point it felt like they were taking the ‘punishments' than the actual dares.
The redhead was the one who dared him, wide smile and laughing at Kiki who had thrown on a pair of sunglasses to complete her new look, honestly she had pulled it off. The redhead studied him, green eyes twinkling with mischief, making his shift in his seat.
The world around him seemed to slow as he processed what his dare was. He wasn’t going to do it, anyway but it still caught him off guard. ‘Pole dance with an invisible pole’  yeah that wasn’t going to happen. So he shook his head no. And everyone ‘oh-ed’ Noi was snickering behind his hand and Kiki and sat it straighter.
“Ravi what’s his punishment.” The girl had her hands on his shoulder shaking him a little as she bounced in her seat.
“Let me think.” The redhead, Ravi, studied him once more and the room around them fell into silence. What was happening, they never got this excited over the punishments before.
“I got it,” Everyone held their breaths including himself “You have to join the pink team.” The girls hands fell from his shoulder as she threw herself back with a pout. Join the pink team what did that even mean, what was happening?
“First time players who gets a punishment have to do something to there hair.” Ravi said, tipping his head to the side and flipping his hair over to the otherside, the hair was much shorter than the other side “I had to get a half shave, Ruth,” He pointed to the girl next to him “Got a buzzcut, Killian,” the quiet purple haired teen “Got his ponytail cut, and Krome,” the guy next to him “Had to dye his hair baby blue.”
Kiki leaned forward and peered at him from over her sunglasses “I’m not going to be dying your hair tonight, I don’t have the right color pink for you. Also welcome to the team.”
The game continued on as if nothing had happened, as if they didn’t give him the punishment of dying his hair pink. He would end up like Kiki and Noi, and pink beacon amought the crowd. Would he even be able to pull it off like they do.
It was around nine-ten o’clock when Kiki as if he was read to go home, he had been ready to leave when they had decided to dye his hair pink, but politely nodded anyway. Kiki had informed him that everyone else was spending the night and from then on things would get a little hectic.
The ride was quiet, she hadn’t turned the radio on and so he mulled on the thought of having pink hair. Kiki had said she doesn't have the right kind of pink so it wouldn’t be pink like hers, and that was fine. Her hair color was way to intense for him. Would it be like Noi’s, that light silvery pink?
A hand was placed on his shoulder, sudden and heavy, almost like a mitt, causing him to jump. They had stopped at a light and Kiki was looking over at him. “Calm down, your over thinking things.” She squeezed his shoulder “There's nothing be be scared of, if the attention your worried about, trust me, after a day or two things will be back to normal.” She looked back to the road just as the light turned green “Next friday we’ll take you to choose what shade of pink works best, so you have a whole week to relax.”
More like a whole week to worry, a day or two of unwanted attention was a day or two too many. He slumped in his seat, he wish this year would be over faster.
For the next week he avoided both Noi and Kiki; It wasn’t hard they stood out about above the rest of the teens like a pink beacons. Avoiding the lunch room and taking different routes to get to his classes, anytime he saw a head of pink hair he was turning to go the other way.
Turns out it wasn’t as easy as he thought to hid form Noi. By the time friday rolled around he hadn’t been seen with or interacted with Noi at all. And hoped to keep it that way for a while longer if not for the rest of the year.
He had quickly put his book in his locker at the end of the day in hopes of avoiding Noi. He hadn’t seen Kiki at all today and Noi was easily trackable. Turning around he jumped back, back slamming against the lockers as he came face to chin with the very person he was trying to avoid.
“Are you ready for today.”
“Guess I don’t really have a choice, do it.” He mutter under his breath as Noi wrapped an arm around his shoulder and lead him towards the exit.
“You really don’t.” Noi laughed. Creepy.
Like Noi had said Kiki was out waiting for them in the parking lot of the school. “Took you two long enough. Come on I got baby Winter and Daw with me, told grandma I’ll have them over there by five so we have to make this quick.” Kiki said through the open passenger window.
“You have Baby WInter and Little David with you.”
“Please do not call him Little David, especially in front of David.”
The coin baby kind through him through a loop, there was a baby in the car or two or one and a child. This day just keeps getting better and better. Noi opened the back door to the truth and sure enough there was a small child and a car seat, although he couldn’t see it from where he was standing he knew it was there.
He froze as he watch Noi interact with Daw and Baby Winter as they called it.
“David you want to sit shotgun?”
The sound of Kiki’s voice snapped him out of whatever daze he had enter. Sit shotgun with the very person who was in charge of changing his life or sit in the back with two kids. He’ll take shotgun.
“Yeah sure.” As he opened the door to the passenger seat he slid his backpack off and rested it between his feet.
“That’s fine with me, I get to spend more time with the kids.” Noi pulled the rest of his body into the back of the truck and closed the door. Once everyone was buckled in Kiki began to pull out of the parking lot.
The drive to the mall was filled with Noi’s chatter to the other two in the back, and the low murmurs of the music Kiki was playing from her phone. He focused more more on the songs being played than the thoughts of his impending doom. That and keeping his breathing constant.
“Dude calm down your in good hands.” Noi reached up to pat him on the shoulder. “Kiki’s been doing her own hair since she was ten.”
“Really?”
Kiki didn't spare him a glance as she turned a corner. “Yup, from cutting, bleaching, dying. It's all been me. Along with the help of youtube and experimentation.”
“Sissy’s gonna dye my hair for my birthday.” It was the first time he looked in the rearview the child sitting between Noi and the car seat had a head a curly mousy brown hair, side side of it cut short to the scalp, and almost the same reddish hazel eyes as Kiki, a large smile on his face.
“Not your whole head thought, only a small part of it.”
He watched as the kid, Daw, nodded.
“Kiki’ll find what shade of pink looks best on you.” He looked back to Noi who was leaning over Daw so they could look at each other in the rear view mirror. “There's a lot that goes into getting the right hair color.” He quirked a brow.
“Really, tell’em Kiki.”
“Most people throw caution to the wind when they first start dying their hair, and sometimes it works and sometimes it don't. You need to find a color or a shade that fits you. Something that will turn heads but not garner to much attention.”
Any attention was too much attention really.
“Changing your hair color is just another way of expressing yourself, same as with tattoos or piercing. If you had to chance to choose, what color would you dye your.”
He never really thought of dying his hair, cutting his hair was about as far as he thought he’d go. Any unnatural colors felt like they grabbed too much attention.
“Maybe something darker, black probably.”
“That was my first color. Mainly because I was you and my natural hair is already really dark, and dad didn't want me bleaching my hair. But it was also a very bad point in my life.”
“David what would you say Kiki and I hair color said about us.”
“I don't really know.”
“Just try, there's no wrong answer.”
Goodness it felt like he was back in school. “Kiki's danger, yet girly? And Noi’s cold joy? I don't know.” He shrugged and slouched in his seat just wishing for this conversation to be over.
“I like cold joy. But you know what we say when you stick to natural colors when dying hair?”
“What?”
“We say your boring. Come on David take a little risk, step outside your boundaries, live a little.”
“The color will only last two to three weeks depending on how often you was it. So it's not like it's permanent.” That's to long of a time to be having pink hair, and what about when it washed out? Would he just have blond hair until his natural hair grew out.
“We're here.” Announced Kiki as the pulled into the parking lot of the mall. This wasn't the mall he normally went to this one far larger, with more people.
Kiki parked at the back of the lot where barely anyone parked, her excuse was that they had perfectly fine legs to walk with.
And it wasn't until they got out of the truck did he realize he had forgotten about the baby in the back seat, he had been so caught up in hair color that he had forgotten.
He watched Kiki unbuckle the child from it's seat, rest him on her hip, open the back of the truck and pull down a stroller, all with one had, all the while the kid was yanking on her hair.
“Noi open the stroller for me please.” She sat the child down on the still opened flatbed of the truck before slipping off an elastic from her wrist and trying her hair up. “Now you can't grab it.” She poked and teased at the child causing him to giggle.
“Stroller is ready.” She put the child in the stroller and Noi grabbed ahold of the other child’s hand.
“Alright let’s make this quick.” And they were off towards his doom.
He hadn’t realized he was lagging behind until Noi slowed to match his pace, he was no longer sending the kids hand, they hand run up to Kiki and was now holding the back of her dress.
“Still a bit nervous?”
“A little.”
“Dying your hair can’t be as nerve wracking as cutting,” Noi ruffled what hair he has “Takes confidence, Or you just didn’t give a fuck.” He said smoothing down his hair.
“The latter mostly.”
“Then just apply that here. Your in good hands trust me.”
“Will you two hurry up, we don’t have all day!”
“Coming,” He leaned in closer “Lets go before she really gets upset.” Noi pulled him along.
The mall wasn't as packed as he thought it would be on a friday afternoon after school. He expected the place to be packed, with teens wandering around. There’s a decent amount of traffic around them but not enough to bump shoulders with people as they followed along behind Kiki. The sound of her heels clicking against the tile echoing around them like no one else was there.
Why was Kiki in heels, she's almost as tall as he is, and he thought tall girls didn't want to be taller than they already were. With the heels she's about her brothers height making him look small in comparison with the two. Don't her feet hurt?
He continued to ponder about Kiki's choice in shoes, just trying to keep his mind off of what was getting ready to happen; that is until they reached the store.
“Noi take the kids.”
“What I don't get to come in?” Noi still took his arm down from his shoulders and walked over to Kiki.
“To do what breath down David's neck, not going to happen. Just sit over there and wait, we won't be long.”
With a grumble Noi began to cart away “That’s what all women say.”
“Excuse me?”
“Nothing.”
With a roll of hre eyes and a shake of her head Kiki looked back to him “Come on David.” She waved him along into the store.
The store, as expected from something at the mall, was quite large. Rows upon rows of beauty supplies, bright fluorescent lights reflecting off the white tiled floor. Too bright, way to bright.
Kiki gently placed a hand on his back, it wasn't really her hand, just her fingertips lightly on his back, guiding him towards the hair dye section. He felt out of place, they looked out of place. Kiki especially, with her business woman mom look But she moved confident and she guided him to the right aisle.
The aisle is like a rainbow, all kinds of colors in all kinds of shades. It’s like a gradient as she leads him down the aisle to the pink section. He never knew there could be so many shade of a single color for hair dye, as they made their way down he spied that every little white bottle sported its own unique name for the color, there was a blue called Blizzard.
“Here we are.” Kiki announced to no one in particular as she came to a stop, her hand dropped from his back leaving cold spots where her fingers had been. She picked up a bottle and held it up next to his head.
“We want a pink that doesn’t clash to much with the colors you already have.” She returned the bottle to the shelf before looking for another.
“Colors I already have?” She found another pink she deemed worthy and held it up to him.
“Skin, eyes, and hair. Luckily for you all three of those work out for you, because pink looks good with all three of those colors. It’s now just about finding the right shade.” The bottle in her hand went back on the shelf and she was on to the next one.
Pale skin, blue eyes and dark brown hair, he guessed pink worked with all three. He was leaving this entirely up to Kikim she seemed to know what she was doing. If she applied that same method to herself than things should turn out well, tan, skin, and reddish hazel eyes, he wasn’t sure what her natural hair color was or if he would ever find out.
Kiki picked up several more bottle of pink hair dye, holded them up to him before putting it back. Did everyone go through this when picking out hair dye or was that just Kiki. Seemed like only something she does honestly, with her attention to detail.
She picked up another bottle and held it up to him, and a triumphant smile graced her face. “This is -” Open mouthed she froze, the hand with the bottle in it slowly lowering.
He quirked a brow at her, “Something wrong?”
She shook her head, before another kind of smile showed on her face. “It’s nothing, can you go wait with Noi really quick while I get this.” She had a hand on his shoulder turning him around and pushing him towards the entrance of the store. She said it like it was a request but she really gave him no choice.
Noi was sitting out on the benched, the curly haired kid at his side and the baby was in his lap, fat little fingers gripping his pink hair as Noi made baby noise at it. He looked up as he approached.
“She kicked you out already,” He looked down at his wrist like there was a watch there “It’s been less than five minutes.
He took a seat next to the curly haired kid, making sure there was some space between them.
“Well it us and the kids,” He turned the baby on his lap “Say hi to David, Winter.” He pried on of the baby’s hand from his hair making him wave towards him.
He tried not to grimace at that “She said she was heading to check out.”
“Oh,” He reached for the stroller, pulling it closer getting ready to put the baby back. “Do you know what color your getting.”
“Pink.”
Noi laughed as he buckled the baby back in the stoller, still prying grabby little hand from his hair. “What pink specifically.”
“I didn’t get to see.”
Looking back to the store entrance Kiki was making her way out, a little black bag in her hand. “Alright, time to drop the kids off.”
Kiki wouldn’t let neither him or Noi see what else was in the bag. The thought of what else could be in the bag nagged at him. When they pulled up to their grandmother’s house she even took the bag with her as she got the kids out of the truck and lead them to the front door, just so Noi couldn’t pry. Honestly he would had looked to.
Back at her place she lead him to the bathroom that’s attached to her own room.  He tried not to look at her living space, it felt weird enough just passing through her room. The lights in the bathroom are bright, almost as bright as the ones from the store and above the sinks is a mirror that spans the size of the wall.
“You might want to change into this. Don’t worry it’s clean.”
He looked back at Kiki and down at the shirt she’s holding out for him, he takes it and she closes the door. All around the collar of the shirt are stains of pinks, purples and blues. He slipped off his own shirt and put the stanined one on. He was drowning in the shirt, it made him look smaller than he really was.
“Are you ready.” It was Noi’s voice from the other side of the door.
“As I’ll ever be.” The door opened and both Kiki and Noi stepped in, the little black bag still hanging from her wrist. It was a large bathroom so they didn’t have to worry about space.
Kiki slid over a cushioned stool from the corner and motioned for him to sit, which he did. Noi reached under the counter for a little bowl, a brush, some vaseline, some gloves, and the hair bleach, placing on the counter before taking a seat on the edge of the tub.
“Okay so here the thing.” Kiki leaned against the counter “I couldn’t bring myself to throw you in the deep end and make all of you hair pink.”
He almost seemed to deflated with relief at the notion, that he wouldn't be getting a head of pink hair.
“But that doesn’t mean your off the chain.” She reached into the bag a pulled out the hair dye, the label reading ‘Neon’. Now he was really glad she wasn’t do all of his hair, He would look ridiculous walking around with bright Neon Pink hair. Bu she said she wasn’t throwing him off the deep end.
“Neon seems like the deeped of deep ends Kiki.” Noi popped up behind him voicing his thoughts.
“Well if you waited a little you would see that that's not all I have.” She pulled out another bottle this one reading ‘Rose Gold’
“Gonna do a two toned kind look.”
“That’s what I’m going for.” She pushed off the counter and moved to stand behind him looking at him through the reflection of the mirror. She took the pointed end of the brush to part the front of his hair and held it up.
“Ok, David, here’s the plan. I wasn’t to leave you roots alone, have most of it be a rose gold that fades into the neon pink, alright.” As she said what she was going to do she showed where the color would start and end. And with a nod she began her work.
The bleaching took about an hour, and it was Noi who washed the chemicals out of his hair in the sink. The fade from brown to blonde was a gradual one but there was still about a half an inch of untouched hair. He looked so different with the blond, it was almost like he was looking at a different person.
“And now for the fun part.”
Kiki turned the stool around so he was no longer facing the mirror wanting to keep the reveal as surprise.
Both Kiki and Noi worked gently and effectively like a well oiled machine. Noi was practically bouncing with excitable energy as they waited for the hair dye to set. While they waited Noi decided to dance around in Kiki’s room to burn off of excess energy while kiki took his spot on the edge of the tube, smile at something on her phone.
As soon as Noi began to was the dye from his hair he was already saying how good it looked, it was making him more nervous. Noi stood behind him as he dried his hair styling it back in the usual style he wears it.
“Kiki this had to be your best work. He makes me what to redye my hair with some ombre.”
“You had a pink ombre before so shut up.”
She moved Noi out of the way as she slowly she turned the stool around. He held his breath, not really read for the reveal but it was coming, even if he wasn’t ready.
He let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. It wasn’t bad, he actually managed to pull it off. If you looked at him head on you wouldn’t even really see the pink from from the side he could see the bright pink tips of his hair.
“What do you think?”
“I like it.” Pink or rose gold wouldn’t have been two colors he would have ever chosen for himself if he was to dye his hair but someone else what handing it, and they did a good jod.
“Welcome to the pink team… kinda.”
Sorry for any grammatical errors and what not. Didn’t really feel like editing much after tackling this beast. Admittedly as hard as this was to write it was fun, but I did have to cut some scenes for time.
