[ while renji had his moment to himself, keigo was standing in front of a mirror in the bathroom, holding the barrette in his hand. he looked at himself, combed his clawed fingertips through his hair, then gave a sigh. he really didn't know what to do to make renji feel better, other than show him he was taking his concerns seriously.

so he put the barrette in his hair, sliding it over the right side and clipping it in place. it probably looked... a little goofy. he was a guy, after all, but if this was what renji wanted... ]

Okay.

[ looking a bit sheepish, keigo came back into the main room where renji was waiting. his face was flushed and he fidgeted with the hem of his shirt as he walked closer. ]

There. See?

[ he turned his head to the side to let renji look at the clip in his hair. ]
