Really, you're acting as if you're attending the funeral of your hair.
[Jake moves so that he's in front of his friend and starts fixing it up. If anything, he's doing a fairly decent job until Dirk can get a mirror and be all "professional" on it.]
[Really, there's nothing he can do except trust that Jake's doing an okay job. And watch his face as he fixes it. Really, it's a good thing he's wearing his sunglasses, and that Jake's attention is on his hair. Otherwise this would be pretty awkward.]
[The moment Jake's gone, Dirk flops down on the bed and stares at the ceiling for a while. Emotions are hard. Liking Jake is hard. Everything is hard, and no one understands.]

Fine. I guess you can't do any worse.

[Yeah, Jake is pretty focused on this hair business. He sits back when he's got it at least straightened somewhat out to Dirk's normal style.]
There! That should hold until you can do it yourself.

Being a teenager with a crush is hard, okay.
He almost goes to touch his hair, but thinks better of it.]
You tryin' to compare me to Shakespeare, English? Sorry to say the only way I'm like the play is my sick mastery of language.
Thanks.
[Action]
[And Jake needs to stop being clueless about these situations he gets them into.]
Anytime.
[Action]
I'm flattered.
[Action]
I should head out to train. See you at dinner?
