"Cosima?" Delphine asked, playing with the woman's dreadlocks.

"Mm?" She hummed, her eyes closed as she lay next to Delphine on the bed.

"May I braid your hair?" She asked and her cheeks turned a little pink.

Cosima opened one eye to stare at her girlfriend, "You want to braid my hair?" She asked in a teasing tone.

"Oui," Delphine replied.

"You do realise that I have dreadlocks right?! It's pretty much as 'braided' as you can get."

"This is true, but I would still like to plait your hair," She said, fiddling with a lock between her fingers.

Cosima raised an eyebrow at her blushing girlfriend, "Well you can try if you like," She said, rolling over onto her other side so that Delphine could get to her hair, "but I don't think it's possible."

Delphine wasn't really interested so much in 'braiding' Cosima's hair, she just liked to look at it and play with it. And that's exactly what she did, she twirled bits of Cosima's hair through her fingers for a few minutes and simply because she'd suggested plaiting it, she decided to try, picking out three locks of hair, hooking them in her fingers and crossing them over in turn to create the pattern of a plait.

Once she got half way down she looked back at her work with a small laugh.

Cosima was quietly enjoying the feel of Delphine playing with her hair and had fallen into a peaceful state which she came forth from at the sound of Delphine.

"Didn't work huh?" Cosima asked.

"Not exactly," Delphine said, looking at the bumpy, oddly shaped plait and she began undoing it, gently pressing a kiss to the back of Cosima's neck.

Cosima sighed softly and turned back around to face Delphine, sliding her arms around the woman's waist and nudging her nose with her own, falling asleep in the peaceful tranquility of being in Delphine's arms.
