Fics like Sit Down (I'll Fix It)

Derek's hair is a disaster. He has known this for a while and has been filing it under things to address later because there have been other things, the smoothies, the plants, the eleven days and the long after of them. There have been other things. He looks at it on a Thursday morning and thinks: I'll just buzz it. Clean start. Efficient. He tells Avery this. Avery says: sit down. Forty-five minutes later Derek is on a kitchen chair with detangling spray in his hair and Avery's hands working through it section by section, from the ends up, slowly and correctly. Every time the comb catches something, every time, without exception, for forty-five minutes, Avery says sorry. Even when Derek says it doesn't hurt. Even when Derek says Avery, you don't have to apologize. Even when Derek says he genuinely cannot feel it. Sorry. Sorry. Is that okay. Sorry. Somewhere in the middle of it Derek realizes he has, at some point he cannot identify, stopped bracing. He doesn't know when it happened. He realizes it only by its absence. He has to close his eyes.
