Arcus was muttering to himself as he studied his reflection in the mirror.

“It’s not as bad as it used to be...right? Though I still kinda look like a girl...” He poked at his squishy cheeks.

His face had always been feminine, to the extent that he would often be mistaken for a girl. Since turning thirteen, however, the situation had been improved somewhat by his sharpening features. He was hopeful that this meant people would soon stop calling him “cute,” if nothing else. As long as that “cute” didn’t evolve into “pretty.”

Despite the improvement, there would doubtlessly still be those who mistook him for female at a distance. Perhaps, then, he shouldn’t have grown out his hair. He had thought that doing so might give off a different impression, but all it had really done was make him look even more feminine. Not that he had expected differently, but it was only human to commit to an aesthetic posture guaranteed to fail, just to be sure. There were several examples of masculine men with long hair, after all.

Arcus sighed, wrapping one of his flicked ends around his finger. He thought back to the comments made by those around him when his hair was starting to get longer.

“Have you decided to embrace your softer looks, Master Arcus?”

“No. I’m putting effort into fixing them.”

“I like it! You look great when you’re upping your cuteness, Arcus!”

“That’s not what’s happening, Sue. And let go of my hair.”

“If ya don’t like it, why not just lop it off? ’S no point in sufferin’ it, right?”

“Yeah, I know I should...”

“Life is all about challenges, Arcus. No matter how much disappointment you bear, things will get better so long as you don’t give up.”

“Eido... I’m growing my hair, not going on an epic journey...”

“Isn’t your only option now to grin and bear it, brother? I feel as though any panic now may lead to a choice you will only regret.”

“Yeah, you might be right, Lecia...”

“I quite agree. Why not keep it at that length for the time being? It still has room for growth, and you might find that it settles if only you give it the time to do so.”

“Sorry, Lady Charlotte, I think I’d rather get a buzz cut then deal with it any longer...”

Apparently, that had been the wrong thing to say.

“Ew, Arcus! Don’t!”

“Brother, you mustn’t!”

“I shan’t allow it!”

In his mind, a buzz cut would at least make him look like a boy, but the girls had assured him that it would look awful and that he would be in their bad books if he went through with it. And so, his plan B was shot down. For the time being, he had decided to stick with the long hair, if only to avoid their wrath.

Presently, he was attempting to style it suitably to keep it from looking strange. If that didn’t work, perhaps he really ought to cut it, as Cazzy had suggested.

At least his hair could be easily changed. His physique was another matter.
