Open don't wanna tiptoe

[Hinata Edogawa]

It's barely been a week since Hinata had changed her hair and she had to admit that she wasn't sure how she felt about it. She'd just decided to make the bold choice to change her hair in the last week of break and had shown up at the dinner table one night, her dark hair gone replaced with platinum blonde hair with very subtle pink streaks. No one really commented on it much except for her mum saying a quick I like your hair, hun. Even she wasn't quite used to the hair yet which was why for the first day after being back in Hogwarts, she tied her hair back in a high ponytail with only a few strands to frame her face. She knew no one was really looking, but the radical change she's made to her appearance was already making her conscious. Add to that was that she was headed for the Gryffindor table instead of her own house table, while trying to keep her head high. Her heart was pounding, Merlin she was so nervous. It wasn't like she was headed off to the gallows. She just wanted to check up on her brother after she made the mistake of not doing so with the triplets and Sayuri. She didn't want to make that mistake again with Lewis, which was why she made a beeline for him at his own house table and then sat down right beside him before she completely lost her nerve. "Did you settle in fine last night?"​

 

[Lewis Edogawa]

Lewis had enjoyed getting to know his roommates, and one of them had a spider which was actually kind of cool. He’d been a little shocked at first, but he didn’t dislike spiders, he’d mostly been surprised they were allowed to bring one to school. He wished he was allowed a pet, but kaachan said no pets, so he wasn’t allowed to bring one. He would have thought the fact touchan was around should have allowed it, but apparently kaachan didn’t trust touchan to make sure he looked after it properly. So now he was at school completely petless. He sighed as he tried to scoop some of the eggs into his mouth. These western metal cutleries were strange and tasted weird and he didn’t like it, he was going to have to send a letter to kaachan to send him his wooden chopsticks because this was ridiculous. He looked up with a mouth full of scrambled eggs when his sister sat beside him. “Mē, omēmām!”* he called, his face stuffed full so it all sounded rather slurred. “Yeah, maa maa. One boy had a spider - chō cool!”**

*Hey sis (but like slurred coz he has food in his mouth)
**so-so, super cool​

"Swallow your food, Lew-chan," Hina said with a sigh and a small amused shake of her head before her hand reached over to brush some of his hair aside and well, just brush it in general with his fingers to tame it into some semblance of not a bird's nest. Did he even brush his hair this morning before coming down? She somehow doubted it. She was willing to bed he'd just rolled out of bed, put on his school robes and marched down for breakfast. Was he even wearing his school uniform? "Did he now? Make sure you don't agitate the kid's spider so it doesn't bite you," she reminded him just as she pulled her hand back. "Have you gotten your schedule yet?"​

Lewis scrunched up his shoulders like a hedgehog as his sister fussed with his hair - he’d thought getting away from Kaachan would save him, but apparently that was the part of her that his big sister got. He was going to have to write her about this, because this was just rude. “I did brush it,” he told her, trying to save face. Well, he sort of brushed it. “With my fingers… maybe.” He didn’t pull away, but he looked like he might melt into his eggs to escape her older-sister grooming ritual. He was still chewing, he added with a full mouth of food, “Mmmff… shiranai yo, it was fine.” He took a moment to swallow the eggs and then shrugged, because clearly his sister thought he was stupid or something. “I’m not gonna agitate the spider, jeez. Ore, baka janai yo.”

When she asked about the schedule he dropped the fork and reached into his robes, the parchment he produced had clearly seen better days despite him only getting it that morning. “Un, I got it, first class is uhn… Defence, sensei isn’t listed, that’s kowai, ne?” he wondered why there would be no professor listed, he supposed he would find out soon though. “Hea, chō kakkoii jan!” He added, looking at her hair.

shiranai yo - I don't know
Ore, baka janai yo - im not stupid you know
that's kowai ne - that's scary isn't it?
Hea, chō kakkoii jan! - your hair is super cool!​
