Hair
Elliot X GN reader
Elliot decides his spouse needs to take better care when washing their hair, so he takes things into his own hands!
Fluff, a tiny bit suggestive at the end
“We really should trim the ends, too, you know,” Elliot sighed as he guided his partner to sit and lean their head back over the running sink.
They huffed. “I can wash my own hair, y’know.”
“Could’ve fooled me,” Elliot mumbled. “Tell me if the water’s too hot.”
“It’s fine,” they shifted in their seat. “... You really don’t have to do this.”
“I beg to differ,” he said, arranging the shampoo and conditioner he planned to use on the counter. “You work out on the farm all day, sweating and building up dirt and grime. You really should take better care of your hair if you intend to keep it like this. And, frankly,” he took his spouse’s hand and lifted it to his lips, “I’ve grown quite fond of it like this,” he grinned and kissed their knuckles softly.
The farmer’s face flushed, but there was no more argument.
“Alright, here we go,” Elliot smiled as he began rinsing their hair. “Just relax and let me pamper you for a while.”
With a soft exhale, they did just as they were told. They melted instantly as they felt Elliot’s fingers running through their hair, massaging his scalp.
“... Feels nice?” He asked. The farmer hummed softly in confirmation, earning a small chuckle from Elliot. “Good. I’m glad. I’m going to start with the shampoo, alright?”
“Okay,” they nodded the little bit that they could with their head tilted back.
They shivered slightly as they felt the cool of the shampoo contrasting the warm water. Elliot smiled down at them as he worked the shampoo through their hair, making sure not a strand was missed.
“... This is nice,” he said. His partner looked up at him.
“... Yeah…?”
“Yes. Your hair is nice, and…” his voice softened a little. “... I enjoy feeling like *I’m* taking care of *you* for once.”
“What do you mean?” they asked.
Elliot sighed as he began rinsing their hair. “... You spend so much time working. My writing helps, sure, but the farm is our only *consistent* income. You’re the reason we have this roof over our heads and food on our table. I just… I like feeling like I’m contributing in some way.”
The two sat without speaking for a moment, only the sound of running water filling the silence. The farmer finally broke the quiet as Elliot reached for the conditioner.
“You’re *always* taking care of me,” they murmured.
Elliot paused and looked down at them questioningly.
“... You’re the one I get to see every morning when I get up, and every night in bed. You help around the farm, and you’re always here for me. You go out of your way to do all these big, romantic gestures, and you… You make me feel *cared about*,” they said softly. Elliot hesitated before giving a small smile.
“... I’m glad you think so, dearest,” he said, beginning to apply the conditioner. “I want nothing more than to make you feel loved and cared for.”
“Well, you’re really good at that,” their face flushed, and they let their eyes fall shut again. Elliot chuckled.
“Good. You deserve it, love,” he hummed. “So just relax, and let me spoil you.”
His partner smiled softly. After a moment they opened their eyes.
“... Is that… Pomegranate scented?”
“Only the best for my beloved,” he grinned down at them playfully. They laughed softly. “Well, thank you,” they looked up at him. “... Even though I could’ve just taken a shower and washed my hair.”
“I don’t know if I trust how thorough you’ll be on your own,” Elliot smirked. “If you like, though, we can certainly do this in the shower next time…”
