Pope brushing his S/O’s hair | HCs
Andrew ‘Pope’ Cody x Reader
a/n: this idea popped into my head so here you go, sorry for not posting the last few days btw! im working on more, while battling a new hyperfixation, trying to not let it fully take over my brain lol.
cw: fluff, implied mentally ill reader, reader has brushable/braidable hair, bathing, comfort, none-sexual nudity.
he’d come home early in the morning after being out all night, finding you awake, exhausted look in your eyes and dried tears staining your cheeks, he’d crouch down next to you where you sat on the floor by the bed, pushing your hair from your face, “couldn’t sleep?” he’d ask as you just shook your head too exhausted to speak, “been rough lately huh? i should’ve been here..” he’d speak almost as if to himself, he knew you got bad mental periods, too overwhelmed and exhausted to get yourself out of bed or take a bath for days and on worse moments maybe even weeks.
“i’ll brush it out for you and help you into the bath, yeah?” he’d say, his thumb wiping away a stray tear as you nodded, “alright”.
he’d grab your hairbrush off your nightstand before sitting behind you on the floor, gently starting to brush your hair, starting from the bottom as to not form more knots and tug your scalp.
you’d just sit there hugging you knees close to your chest, feeling the bristles of your hairbrush run through your hair, Pope’s hand following close behind, smoothing out your hair with his palm with every brush stroke.
him softly humming a tune as he took care of you, making sure that you were doing alright and apologizing whenever he tugged your hair by accident, knowing how sensitive your scalp must be by now, after not having been able to brush it yourself for a couple of days.
he’d quietly just brush your hair as if you were a doll, making sure there were no knots left as he ran his fingers through your hair, soft and easy, “that feel nice?” he’d ask softly, you’d only nod again, closing your eyes, enjoying the feeling.
when finished he’d pick out the hairs stuck to the brush and toss them in the bin, while you got up to get ready for your bath, him turning away as you got off your clothes, not wanting to make you uncomfortable by eyeing you down.
when done he’d lead you to the bathroom and get you into the tub, helping you bathe while he just sat by the tub, his thumb gracing over your knee as he talked to you, not letting you fall asleep or let your mind wander off.
when all cleaned up and all the soap rinsed off, he’d hold your hand as you got out of the bathtub, making sure you didn’t slip as he wrapped you up in a towel, drying your hair before giving it another quick brush down.
once no longer dripping wet, he’d braid your hair into two braids before leading you to your bed, getting all nice and cozy, his arms wrapped around you as you laid together, “never feel scared to tell me that you need help, you know i’ll always be there when you need me” he’d mumble into your damp hair, “promise?” you’d ask quietly, never moving your eyes away from his chest, “i promise”.
