#argyle day

For @genderthings Argyle Day | Prompts: baking, hair | T | 420 | The Stoner Trio | Intersex Argyle, Weed, Hanging out (in more ways than one)

The summer is in full swing, the sun mercilessly hitting the walls of the trailer and penetrating them with heat. The oven is running, and a joint is making rounds between the three young men. If the temperature hadn't scared off their friends already, to hide in the porch shadow instead, the smell alone would do it.

Argyle puffs out a plum of smoke before passing the joint to Eddie.

"It's hot as balls in here, man, you mind if I take off my shirt?"

Jonathan shrugs, but seeing as it is the Munson's place, he looks to the host, who just points to his own attire: old gym shorts and a shirt hacked so aggressively it had to be put back together in one place with a safety pin.

"Go for it, man."

"Thanks, bro."

He takes off the bandana holding back his hair and flips off his t-shirt to hang it over one of the nearby chairs. His hair immediately sticks to the clammy skin and he makes a displeased noise.

"You better hide all the scissors before I hack this thing off," he jokes, pulling on the strands. Leaning against the cabinets, he starts braiding one side of his hair, while humming completely out of tune with Eddie's tape that's playing in the background.

Jonathan coughs when it's his turn with the joint.

"Dude," he speaks up, coughs again because his voice comes out quiet and raspy. "Why do you have tits?"

"Hm?" Argyle looks down like he forgot they're there. He probably did. "Oh, I don't know." He shrugs. "I just do. Why don't you?"

Jonathan blinks slowly like he's giving it some serious thought. He touches his chest, like he expects to find something there.

"Is that, like, an option?" he raises his eyebrows. He offers the joint to Argyle, who leans in so he can put it in his mouth without interrupting his braiding.

Eddie hums.

"I mean, there is boob surgery, right? It's definitely an option if you want it to be," he observes, before turning to Argyle. "Did you want it to be?"

"Not really, but I don't mind," he shrugs, talking around the joint. Once he wraps the first braid with a hair-tie, he hands the joint over. "One day I woke up and boom," he adds the exploding hand effect. "Boobs. Doctors say it's hormone imbalance or something. Shouldn't get bigger than this, so..." He shrugs, starting on the second braid.

Eddie puffs, staring off into the distance.

"Puberty, man."

Written for @genderthings Argyle Day wc: 420 prompts ‘hair’ and ‘try before you deny’

Rated T • transmasc Argyle & OCs, Argyle’s excellent customer service, misgendering, marijuana - I think I do need a pineapple and jalapeño pizza now • read on ao3

His hair had always been a point of contention. For other people. Not for him.

He loved his long hair. Of course when he started socially transitioning, he kept his hair straight and long. There were comments, of course, snide looks by barbers and hairdressers when he’d ask for only a trim, just cut off the dead ends please. But Argyle didn’t care.

It was California, and mostly everyone lived and let live, but there would always be those who had to rock the boat.

“Hello? Ma’am? Excuse me, miss.” Argyle ignored the customer at the counter until their voice got louder. “Hey! Excuse me!”

“Oh, hey dude, didn’t know you were ready. I thought you were talking to someone else, since it’s just me and Louis back here. How can I help you today?” Argyle approached the register with a pointed look.

The older gentleman scrunched up his nose momentarily, and he braced himself for some insult or other. Instead, he recited, “We’re having a special tonight on our pineapple and jalapeño pie. And before you say no, I say ‘try before you deny,’ dude.”

Now the customer was even more flustered, and Argyle held back a smirk. “Oh, no, th-that’s quite alright.” The man visibly shuddered before ordering a handful of pizzas with completely normal boring run of the mill toppings and some liters of soda. He momentarily felt sorry for this man’s family and their undeveloped taste buds. Just as he was congratulating himself on deflecting the lecture about his hair or manners, the man spoke up as he took his receipt. “Maybe cut your hair, son, if you don’t want people accidentally calling you a girl.”

“Thank you so much, I had no idea. I’ll think about considering it!”

This stumped the man further, and Argyle laughed loudly after the door shut behind him.

“Another one, huh?” Louis grumbled from behind him, coming around the pizza oven.

“Eh, you’d think it would get old. But maybe one day someone will try our special. Did you sneak anchovies into all of his pizzas?”

“Sure did, dude. And let me know if he says anything next time because I’ll pull out the big guns.”

Argyle laughed, clapping his cook on the shoulder. “I sure will, buddy. How about we, uh, treat ourselves to a break, huh?”

After a few puffs of his Purple Palm Tree Delight he had completely forgotten about the rude customer and helped himself to making his own pineapple and jalapeño pie with extra jalapeños.
