#dutch braid

You started as if you were going to put it into two top knots or something silly, but then got an idea. You brushed his hair out again and took a small bit at the top and started braiding. You pulled the three strands underneath each other instead of over each other, adding more hair as you went. He had just enough that it held together nicely. You were gentle and smiled to yourself as it came together.

Tup could feel something different happening and without a mirror, he was in for a surprise once you were done.

You finished, the braid ending just below his hairline against the nape of his neck and you tied it off.

"All done."

He got up and went to the mirror. His smile broadened when he saw it. You offered a hand mirror so he could see the back and his eyes lit up a little.

"It looks cool," he said. "Thank you!"
