"Hold still," Atsushi chides, a teasing lilt to his tone as his brows furrow playfully down at Izuru snugly seated in the barber's chair, flaxen tendrils sandwiched between his index and middle finger as scissors cut across the ends of her hair. "Otherwise it's going to turn out crooked."

"Sorry," Izuru chuckled, her aqua hues sparkling with an underlining of mirth. "I'm just excited, Akkun. I'm your first real client." Her chuckles melted into an onslaught of giggles as his hands cradled her cheeks, lips peppering her face with tiny kisses. "Akkun!"

"You're too cute..." Atsushi mumbled out against her cheek, warm breath tickling her earlobe as he pulled back ever so slightly, scissors dropping to the floor as his palms cupped her face in their grasp, violet eyes softened down at her; full of love and admiration. "I love you." He all but breathed out as his lips claimed hers. Pliant and warm underneath his mouth as his tongue sought refuge between her lips.

The front door chimed, causing Atsushi to break the kiss, his face burning crimson as he cleared his throat, tongue brushing away the saliva that clung to them. "B-Be with you in a moment..!" Feeling a hand wind around his wrist, he stopped and turned his attention back to Izuru who only smiled.

"I love you."
