Fourth Floor Boy's Bathroom, Monday Evening

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

With a towel over one shoulder, Hannibal had disappeared into the bathroom about an hour ago. The hot shower had taken up most of that time but now he was out, clad in only his jeans, and standing in front of one of the mirrors, doing what guys do when their in the bathroom.

Checking themselves out, of course. It was a time honored secret tradition amongst men. They might not act it but they all wanted to look good. Had to look good out of clothes to really think you look good in them. Or something.

For Hannibal, that mostly meant deciding if he needed a shave or not. He'd decided no and then moved on to wondering if he needed a haircut. The wet hair didn't really help that decision since it wasn't doing its normal 'stick up where it pleases' schtick that he'd gotten so used to.

"Maybe I could just do it myself," he said to no one, ruffling his hair and not realizing how bad an idea that truly would be.

[Open to boys (and boys from other floors are so welcome)...and girls! Like any of the boys care if the girls wanna sneak in! This was partly due to me wanting rocksthescarf to make a post where Chuck shaved his chest hair (I used her favorite icon in honor of that) and wanting to see how many shirtless icons I could get in one place. Mondays do things to my brain.]

Jack pulled at a lock of his hair, which was, by this point, a couple of inches long. "Well, I cut it in November...my mom had what was left shaved off after, though."

"And it's March now so...you grow hair fast," Hannibal observed. "That or you're wearing a freaking excellent wig."

"Hair grows half an inch a month," he said with a shrug. Jill had looked that up in her initial panic over what Jack had done, so Jack knew it, too. "So it's two inches long, so what?"

"So what nothing, man, it's good hair," Hannibal said, holding up a hand. "I was complimenting, not insulting. I fear my hair would grow back purple or something if I cut it myself. It'd be just my luck."

"Yeah, isn't this island supposed to be weird or something?" Jack asked. "I haven't seen much evidence of it myself, but that's what people keep telling Jill."

"Really freaking weird," Hannibal said, nodding. "We had shit tossing birds invade a few weeks ago."

[iamnotallgirl]

"Really? I wish I hadn't missed that," Jack griped. "I always miss the cool stuff."

"And that was just one of the many," Hannibal said. "I ended up a girl once. Boobs and everything."

[iamnotallgirl]

Jack did not look impressed. "So?"

Then he realized that was a major screw-up. "I--I mean, dude, that's totally weird."

"For it being my first time with a rack, yeah, it was weird," Hannibal said, not focusing on Jack's first reaction for too long. Maybe girly bits were easier for him to adjust to. "We were all tiny a few weekends go."

[iamnotallgirl]

Kind of the reverse, actually. "Jill didn't mention that, but she's pretty oblivious. Maybe she thought all the kids were visiting or whatever."

"It missed some people so yeah, I can see that happening," he said. "You really haven't seen any of the weird stuff? Man, you need to tell your sister to let you see the good stuff."

[iamnotallgirl]

"She's pretty oblivious. Self-centered, you know. And I'm not around much. Even now, she wouldn't let me see anything but the inside of her room if she could help it."

"Well, you've added the bathroom and a bunch of other guys to that list," Hannibal pointed out. "Looks like you picked a good day to show up and need a shower even if she did leave you mango smelling shampoo."

[iamnotallgirl]

Jack grinned. "Take that, Jill."
