Title: Brush


"Lacie, why are you staring at me?" Jack asked as he took off his coat and boots. He had come to visit her at her tower, and she had been staring at him since he walked in. He found it odd because often he was the one staring at her.

She didn't answer him right away though. Instead, she walked over to her vanity and grabbed a hairbrush. He watched her as she went and sat down on the long, red couch. She smiled at him.

"Can I brush your hair?" She asked. Jack looked at her confused. It wasn't an ordinary request, but he expected nothing ordinary from Lacie.

"Um, sure." Jack said as he walked over and sat on the floor in front of her. She grabbed his braid and undid it. Her fingers ran through his golden hair, and it fell around him. Lacie grabbed a piece of it and started brushing.

They sat there in silence for a while as Lacie brushed his hair. Finally Lacie asked, "Can I cut your hair? It looked so neat when I cut it the last time."

Jack hesitated. "Well, I kind of like it this way. It-it reminds me of you." He said as turned his head to face her.

Now it was her turn to look at him with a confused look. Jack noticed and decided to explain. "I haven't cut my hair since you left. Every time I saw how long it had become, it made me want to work harder to see you, to find you."

Lacie stared at him, not knowing what to say. Hearing his story made her feel somewhat guilty. He had been so dedicated to seeing her again, yet she had not thought about him in those eight long years. And now she was going to leave him again. She sighed. Then she grabbed a piece of his hair and said, "Well, you found me, so why don't we cut it?"

"I can't." Jack said. What if he did cut it and then she disappeared?

"Fine, but turn your head, so I can finish brushing it." She said as she grabbed his head and turned it. She then went back to brushing. However, she couldn't stop thinking about what he said. She then put the brush down and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Is everything alright?" Jack asked. He could tell something was wrong, but he wasn't exactly sure what it was.

She pulled him closer to her and bent her head down to whisper in his ear. "Jack, I'm-" She thought about saying she was sorry for not looking for him, but then what good would that do? She was just going to leave him again.

She grabbed his head and bent it back so that he was looking up at her. There was a pained look in her eyes. "Jack, I'm-I'm sorry but…I can't braid your hair back." She said.

He smiled up at her. He knew there was something else she wanted to say, but he also knew not to pry. Instead, he simply replied, "It's okay, Lacie." He raised his head up, grabbed a ribbon out of his pocket, and tied his hair. "I fixed it."

She then smiled back at him, and they both let out a small laugh.
