[ Surprising people isn't new to Derek, man, but most of the time his surprises come in the form of roaring at people or tearing the doors off their cars or shoving them face-first into lockers. He makes a quiet, thoughtful noise, trying not to give away too much about his holiday plans. Still such a weird line to walk, between wanting to love and spoil the shit out of someone and feeling a very real fear that it's just gonna end up hurting him. He's supposed to be past this. ]

[ He's gotta do the front. Still more to do everywhere else, but - once Tate's turned around, Derek's gonna brush his fingers through Tate's hair a little, getting everything laid out easy for him. ]
Can't believe you're cutting all this off.
[ He's, like, barely done more than a trim, but he's still unhappy. ]
