@Littlefeets

Ahhh the misc we’ve been waiting for

Wow the hype

@Littlefeets

A change of pace was needed in general after not being able to have much choice in it for so long, and to at least lessen people recognizing him as the former prince.

Agreed. A lil hair dye, a lil growing your hair out. No one will ever notice.

@Littlefeets

Just being real is the key. He gets to be himself instead of having to fit in the mold someone else decides is right for him.

And it’s appreciated in Jess’ mind. She loves this man so much more

@Littlefeets

It was supposed to be a joke Jess
Just a teasing comment to laugh about

YES. A teasing comment. SO WHY DID KAI TAKE IT SO SERIOUSLY???

@Littlefeets

Jesssssssss
Once it becomes a challenge, he won’t back down

KAI you’re supposed to be the voice of reason

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

Jess rolled her eyes, tossing her toothbrush into the sink. “Yes, really. Stick to the hair, lumberjack. You’ve already maxed out your hipster points.”

she’s not wrong

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

But of course, he didn’t listen. Because Kai never listened when it came to proving her wrong.

Just as Jess wouldn’t listen if it were the other way around
And he just can’t help it. He can’t back down once she challenges him.

BUT JESS IS ALWAYS RIGHT SO

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

Two weeks later, Jess walked into the kitchen and came face-to-face with it. The betrayal. The audacity. The beard.

it’s just so rude

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

Thick, dark, and perfectly trimmed, like he was auditioning for the cover of Lumberjack Monthly.

and guess what. He’d get the front cover easy too

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

Then he smirked—smirked, the bastard—and said, “You mean this? It’s a beard. You know, like the one you said I couldn’t pull off?”

Jess’s jaw dropped. “You’re joking.”

“Why would I joke about something this …good-looking?” He rubbed a hand along his jaw, tilting his head like he was modeling for her.

He has to taunt her about it

he can’t pull it off

so he needs to stop taunting her

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

“You look like you’re one flannel shirt away from chopping wood in the backyard. And we don’t even have a backyard!

THEY DON’T

THEY LIVE IN A CONDO

GOD DAMN IT KAI

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

Kai chuckled, clearly enjoying himself. “Admit it, Jess. I pull it off.”

“Oh, I’ll admit it when you shave it off,” she snapped back. HE BETTER GET RID OF THAT… THAT THING. SHE WASN’T KIDDING.

If she would just admit it, he would shave it off immediately if that’s what she wants

she’s not admiting it when she’s right

@Littlefeets

It could’ve all been over so much faster if she’d have just said he could pull off the beard, even if she preferred him clean shaven.

Oh shut up

SHUSH

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

“Goodnight, Your Highness.”

Now she’s just trying to push buttons

did it work?

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

She had resolve. AND her resolve was… well… RESOLVED. You know who didn’t have resolve? Him. Totally. That’s what she’d go with.

tell me she’s wrong

it is resolved

@Littlefeets

Regardless if it made him squirm, he can’t back down.

sigh

bet you if she waited a few more days she could convince him

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

The real mystery, however, was why Aria hadn’t already called her dad out for looking like a complete dork with that beard. Priorities, right?

Clearly aria doesn’t have an issue with it like jess does

ARIA IS A BABY she doesn’t know

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

Jess’s jaw dropped. EXCUSE YOU? She almost stood up right there to march into the kitchen and set the record straight,

He only had so many options of what to say

he could have said HE WAS THE PROBLEM

@Littlefeets

Aria would’ve eventually questioned too much there anyway. Perhaps that’ll push off anymore questions

at least kai has to respond and not jess

@Littlefeets

Now if she would just say it, this whole standoff would be all over

NO BECAUSE THAT’S CONCEIDING

@Littlefeets

When all he really wanted was to brush it off and stop the interaction with her, but he had to

He didn’t have to do anything

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

Fck you Kai. STOP SMILING LIKE THAT.

STOP IT

it’s so mean

HIS KID IS THERE

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

Kai turned to face her, his smirk returning. “You know, you could’ve just admitted I looked good a week ago and saved us all the trouble.”

“You could’ve just listened to me in the first place,” she shot back, though her voice had softened slightly.

When really, he probably wanted to shave the entire time, but wasn’t going to just for the sake of proving his point. He just needed her to admit defeat.

asshat
