"Thorin braided Bilbo's hair-"
"What if Thorin gave Bilbo a braid-"
WHAT IF THORIN LET BILBO BRAID HIS HAIR
It's literally the highest honor for a dwarf to let someone touch their hair, to trust them so deeply that they invite them in to touch and weave the strands that are so highly important that only lovers, family, and very close friends can touch
Imagine Thorin just going still and melting into the touch because it triggers the part of his brain that goes, "Oh it's grooming time, I'm being groomed,"
Imagine Bilbo weaving little flowers into the braid while they're on their journey, but he has to replace them everytime they wilt, so after they reclaim Erebor, Thorin has little flower beads made from glass and metal for Bilbo to braid into his hair so they'll last
Thorin accidentally earning himself the nickname, "The Blossomed King" by his people because he always has floral charms in his hair nowadays
