Chapter 3: Leather jackets and hair dye

Summary:

Knives and Todd are purely friends. I am not implying any weird relationship between them, that's actually disgusting

Chapter Text

Todd felt like a dumbass. He felt like the opposite of a rockstar. What he should be. He felt like Knives Chau, so..he called her. (for advice guys he's not a creep.)
"Knives."
"OHHH MY GOSH ARE YOU TODD INGRAM?! FROM TCAD?! YOU'RE LIKE MY ULTRA FAVORITE BAND OH MY GOD!!!" She fangirled, and Todd could hear some squealing.
"You've gotten your heart broken before right? By that Scott kid?" He asked.
"Um...yeah, I guess. But like, you're Todd Ingram! You're dating my role model!" Knives seemed uncomfortable at the mention of Scott, but she brushed it off quickly to keep the conversation going.
"How do you get over a bad breakup?"
"Oh my goodness am I about to give Todd Ingram a makeover."
"Excuse me?" The vegan yelped.
"Meet me in front of the thrift store." Knives cheered, hanging up the phone.
"Okay what the fuck." Todd facepalmed and sighed.

"Hi Todd!" Knives waved excitedly, clapping her hands.
"Hi, Knives." Todd rubbed the back of his neck.
"So, I have brought you here to give you a makeover." She smiled, gesturing at the store.
"...Okay." The vegan mumbled, pushing open the door.

"So what's the situation in the first place?" She asked, sifting through racks of clothes.
"Envy's a lesbian.." Todd sighed, slumping down onto a couch with a sign that said "do not sit."
"She......is????" Knives was very surprised at this information. (again guys not in a creepy way.)
"mmmmyeah." He closed his eyes, rubbing them with his hands.
"Hm. I think I know what to get you." She answered, pulling some things off of the metal rack.

"A leather jacket? That's not vegan." Todd crossed his arms. Then his realization set in. Envy isn't impressed with his vegan powers anymore. "...who cares anymore. I'll buy it anyway." A few streaks of vegan power released from his body.
"Umm, okay. So, go try this on. I tried to find something that would fit but it might be too small. You're like, way taller than Scott." Knives giggled, brushing a strand of hair out of her face.

Todd changed, feeling miserable, and exited the changing room.
"You look, like, so amazing! I'll pay for you and then I'll take you to the drugstore." Knives exclaimed, hugging Todd. He stood there for a minute, wondering, What the fuck?

Knives paid for the stuff, and dragged Todd along to the drugstore.
"Okay so I think you should stop bleaching your hair. And then get some like, red streaks! That would look, like, totally awesome. Don't you think?" She dug around the shelves for some colors.
"...No more bleaching my hair?" Todd's eyes widened. Envy said he looked cute with his natural hair though...maybe he could get someone else to like it.
"I'll do it." Todd gave in, sighing.

He took the box of dye over to the counter, and paid for it.
"I'll take you home, Knives. Thanks.." He mumbled, patting her on the back.
"Oh of course! TCAD is like me and my friend Tamara's #1 favorite band, you guys are like really good."
"That's..good."
