She smiles at his reflection when he wraps his arms around her from behind. Jaskier knows that she’s feeling self-conscious about how she looks, and she appreciates the compliments. He’s not lying.
Midge considers the offered options. “What would that look like?” she asks. “Do you mean you would wrap them around my head?”
He parts her hair in two - nothing exact yet, it's very loose just as an example. He twists each half around his fingers and wraps them around her head.
"--this. Close enough. High ladies in my world often braided their hair in intricate designs. Ciri wears it like this sometimes, too, but her hair is long so it's only one braid."
“Oh,” Midge says, seeing what he means. “Okay, let’s try it. I’ve got some bobby pins in my suitcase.” She gets out the small box of hair pins and puts it on the dresser next to the mirror.
“Most often, the people you see wearing braids these days are kids.” As long as she doesn’t look like a child, Midge is willing to give it a shot.
"Great!" And he means it, he's grinning from ear to ear. Seeing her grab the bobby pins makes him realize something. "Oh, crap, we'll need..."
He searches his suitcase too, only to groan in frustration. Then he tries his satchel and checks his wallet, exclaiming, "Ha! I knew it!" as he pulls out two black hair ties. He puts them down next to the pins on the dresser and takes back the comb.
"Ages for hairstyles." He shakes his head as he starts combing her hair to get rid of any tangles. "I swear humanity can find the most stupid ways to be boring. I noticed men don't wear their hair long here either."
Midge sits down on the bed while Jaskier gathers all the materials, then offers up her head for styling.
“It’s not the style for men here, no,” she replies as he gets to work. “I’m sure you’ve noticed the looks that you get.” Jaskier stands out. Big time. “Should we put your hair in little pig tails?” she asks teasingly.
"Obviously, I get looks because of how handsome and charming I am." He's joking; he knows what she means. "Ironically, I only started wearing my hair like this a few years ago. I needed a makeover. Most of my life I wore it short."
Once her hair is nicely combed, he parts it in half, this time following the hairline to a tee. When he's about to start braiding, she makes her joke and he laughs.
"Well..." Jaskier grabs his wallet again and luckily, he finds a third hair tie. He combs his hair really quickly just to check for tangles before tying it in a pigtail at the base of his head. A few strands still come loose, but it adds to the look. "Like that?" He teases as he sits next to her and starts the first braid, fingers moving quickly - Ciri lets him help her sometimes, so he isn't out of practice.
“I’ve thought about cutting mine short, but I still enjoy curling it,” she says, then smiles when Jaskier pulls his hair back. “That’s a pony tail.” Susie wears her hair like that all the time. “Pig tails are on either side of your head.”
Kind of like what he’s doing now. “You’re fast. You could work at a beauty parlor.”
"I bet you'd pull it off, but agreed, I like your long hair better." An exaggerated gasp. "It's not long enough for a ponytail! This is an insult to all horses!"
Jaskier finishes the first braid and ties it up by removing the hair tie from his own hair, since his effort to look cute was obviously not appreciated! Huff huff! He laughs as he moves to sit on her other side and do the second braid.
"Not a bad idea. So many ladies I can take care of while putting some fun ideas in their beautiful minds. Their husbands would have me fired in a week."
“I dyed it blonde in college,” she continues. “I wouldn’t do that again.”
She’ll put his hair in pigtails later just to show him what she means. For now, she’s eager to get down to the beach with him.
Midge meets his eyes in the mirror. “I better be the only lady you’re ’taking care of’, thank you very much,” she says lightly. “You’d have them all wanting to divorce their husbands and follow their dreams, so, yes, I’m sure they’d get you fired.”
"Blonde!" He exclaims in surprise. "I'm having trouble picturing you as such. What inspired it?"
He knows what she means; he just likes messing with her. He doesn't think he has enough hair for two pigtails. Laughing at her little display of jealousy, he kisses her cheek before moving to get the bobby pins.
"So many divorces and dreams - it sounds like a perfect plan! I could even get a deal with a lawyer for a little commission! We shall open our own business - I'll do their hair, you can do their makeup."
Now they know what to do if their careers don't work out, although he doubts Susie would let them.
Jaskier sits behind Midge, his legs on her sides, and starts working on making the braid crown. He hums a tune while he works, only interrupting himself to say sorry if he accidentally pokes her with the pins.
“Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” Midge replies. “Gentlemen might prefer it, but I did not. I think I look better with my natural hair color.” She’s been complimented on it before, even if it is just brown.
“Perfect. Makeovers before they get divorced, so their husbands will see what they’re missing.”
When Jaskier finishes pinning the braids up, Midge tilts her head so that she can examine her hair on the mirror.
“It looks good,” she says. “Really well done. Another thing you’re useful for.” Midge gives him a soft kiss. “Thank you, my love.”
"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes?" He sounds skeptical. "I don't think I'll like that movie." It sounds like he'll have issues with some dating bullshit. He laughs pretty hard at Midge's idea. "Spite makeovers! I love it."
He gasps dramatically when she calls him useful. "The hair has truly transformed you into a viscountess! You want nothing from me but my cock and my servitude!" It's all teasing, of course. He smiles at the kiss. "You're welcome. You look wonderful. Oh!"
Jaskier rushes back to his satchel to get his camera, which he puts on the dresser with a timer. Then he makes Midge stand up and wraps his arm around her waist, kissing her cheek for the picture.
"This is going to be one of my favorites," he says with a grin. He puts on the hat and the sandals he bought earlier and throws a few things in his satchel before turning to Midge. "Ready to go?" He's practically bouncing.
Midge cracks up when Jaskier says that she’s been transformed into a bossy noblewoman, though she squeals inwardly with delight at being called a viscountess. She does look regal with her hair done like this. “Not at all, my darling viscount, though I do find your cock to be very useful.”
She poses for the picture with him, then gathers what she needs for the beach, including her cover up, hat, sunglasses, and the romance novel she bought at the bookstore. “Ready,” she replies, reaching for his hand.
He puts on his sunglasses as well so they can fully match, then he takes her hand and they finally leave for the elevator.
"So you're planning to read that in public, huh?" he teases as they go down. "What happens when you reach the dirty bits and they make you horny on the beach?"
She smiles slyly at him. “I guess I’ll have to drag you back to the hotel room. The cover of the book is a bit… much though. I’ll have to try to hide it so that nobody is scandalized.”
Midge has seen much worse, and she knows that Jaskier has, but most people in society would find such a book cover to be shocking. She won’t bring it down to the beach when they’re with her parents.
"To the hotel room? Not a nice dark spot behind a big rock?" He snorts at the rest. "Now you're taking the fun out of it!"
Jaskier has, indeed, seen worse. He's also written worse.
It's a short walk to the beach, because of course Leah got a hotel with the perfect location. Jaskier's glee is obvious on his face, and he has to let go of Midge's hand to touch the sand. Once he's confirmed it isn't too hot, he takes off his sandals and sighs contentedly.
"Fuck, it feels good to be back!" he exclaims as he opens his arms and lets the sea breeze caress his face.
“We could just go into the water,” she jokes. They fantasized about that one time. Of course, if they’re making out in the ocean, it might be rather obvious what else they’re doing.
His reaction to the beach is so cute. While he rejoices, she finds a nice place to sit with an umbrella and two lounge chairs. Midge spreads out their towels on the chairs. Then, with a deep breath, she pulls off her cover up, leaving her in a bikini in public for the first time in years.
"We're definitely doing that." Maybe not during the day, but he does want to fuck her in the ocean.
Alright, he must admit that the umbrella and the chairs are nice. He's happy to be back on the beach, but he knows what a pain sand is. As he hangs his satchel on the umbrella's handle, he watches Midge take off her cover-up. There's something bothering her, and he can't tell what - but he knows what he needs to do.
"My gorgeous goddess," he tells her before kissing her cheek. "I'm glad we chose this model, look at the pennants flapping in the wind," he teases while playing with the pennants on her chest. He then leans in a little closer and whispers. "And it seems quite a few people agree with my opinion."
She's definitely gathering looks, so he hopes that helps her with whatever is going through her mind right now.
She laughs when he flicks the pennants on her swimsuit. “I’m a sea-worthy vessel.” His words surprise her though. “Really?”
Midge’s cheeks flush as she tries to look around and determine who might be looking at her. There are two young men sitting not too far away, and both of them seem to be looking in her direction.
Jaskier doesn't reply, he simply steps back and lets her enjoy the attention - she deserves it. He then takes off his shirt and leaves it on his chair before reaching into his satchel for his sunscreen.
"Another fantastic invention," he says while rubbing it on his arms and chest, which starts getting him looks, too. "Would you mind doing my back?"
Hopefully the attention is positive. People are too polite to hit on her when she’s with another man - or to tell her that she looks like a floozy.
“You’ll need to help me too,” Midge says as she rubs the sunscreen on Jaskier’s back. “I don’t mind a little bit of color, but my skin is so pale that it tends to burn.”
The attention is a mix of both - as usual, people are attracted to the sexiness but also have to claim to be offended by it.
"Truth be told, I'm very curious to see how you'd look. Geralt is paler than you, and seeing him burn was hilarious," he replies with obvious amusement. "Worry not, of course I'll help you. I know better than torturing you."
The women watching him are very disappointed by Midge's closeness, and Jaskier chuckles at their expressions. "You've killed their dreams," he says. He isn't a possessive or jealous guy, but Midge is, and he thinks she'll like to know she's scared those women away.
Midge gives him a look. “Otherwise, I’ll have to wear my hat and stay under the umbrella the whole time.” Jaskier doesn’t want that.
“Oh, I didn’t realize,” she says, turning her attention to the other women. It makes sense. Jaskier is a handsome man. “Guess we make a striking couple.”
"But I'd have an excuse to keep you in the tub the whole weekend!" He's kidding. He definitely wants her out and about.
"Of course we do! You never thought about that before?" He takes the sunscreen from her hands and kisses her cheek, so the guys watching her are now disappointed, too. The fact that he starts working on her back definitely doesn't help. "We're both gorgeous, and together we magnify that."
“I don’t think Leah would miss me, but my parents might be upset if I don’t show up for the wedding.”
Midge relaxes into his welcome touch. Any of the other men here don’t stand a chance.
“I seem to recall saying that we were the most fuckable couple in New York?” Midge says unsurely. “Something along those lines. Most fuckable might have been your opinion.”
