#clarks gonna eventually accidentally end up with a few bleached ends from helping bart and be the one to cut his hair

[ants-personal]

I think Clark is amused by the little ways Bart cares about upkeep of his looks. Teasing but generally fond little "why do you do this?"

I also think he would lend a hand, if welcome, in dyeing the streaks and such. And he would only laugh at Bart a little bit during it

NONNie im sorry this took a bit stuffs been rough irl sighs but im here now <3

BUT oh yeah for sure clark finds it its very endearing. Plus its nice to see bart become more comfortable in his own skin and be able to relax letting clark into the small soft moments. Like in the morning bart half asleep while he brushes his teeth somehow its the slowest clarks ever seen him move or how bart takes more time than necessary to make sure his hair is perfect streaks sticking together clark pokes fun and tells him yeah but its cuter like this as he ruffles it and bart gets madish tries pushing clark off or swipes at his hands cause not everyone gets to be a 6ft tall jerk okay some of us have to actually put the work into looking this good motions to himself who has a speck of toothpast in the corner of his mouth and a shirt that is 4x to big and clark just puts his hands up in mock surrender and laughs.

oh also clark tries to help with barts outfit sometimes when hes out hell see something and be like oh bart might like that and usually its a new shirt or little accessories and accents for him and bart never knows how to accept them while also still coming off as super cool and chill cause which is confusing cause clarks always like if you dont like it i can take it back and he just snatches it like NO i mean i like it thanks clark

YEAAAH i love that trope so much cause bart does it himself but after clark walks in to bartz bathroom gymnastics to see if he covered some streaks enough he offers to help and while insisting he can do it he juat first asks clark to at least look and when theres multiple places he missed that clark keeps pointing he gives up and lets clark do it and at first hes tense and nervous and dont mess it up cause your jealous okay and soon bart starts to relax its not exactly like getting pet but its close and soon he finds himself with his eyes close listening to clark hum behind him he even lets clark wash it out at the end gentle hands through his hair and well its not as relaxing towards the end cause bart is practically waterboarded washing the front part and they both are laughing and soon barts sitting with wet hair and shirt and a towel around his neck looking in the mirror clark asks if he did alright and bart chuckles cause for a jock hes actually pretty good with a brush and clark suggest that maybe he should add a few red streaks in his hair as well next time and also a trim as he tugs on a few long strands
