I’ve been going absolutely rabid over dad!Roy but I’ve noticed that all ya’ll in this glorious community have been missing out on like some god-tier fluff potential, in the form of Roy taking care of Ed’s hair. Like Ed’s been injured and is in the hospital or smth, and his hair’s all ratty. Roy gently brushing through it??? Roy braiding it?? Roy running his hands through it to make sure he got all the tangles?? Roy even carefully washing it in the sink for him?? Towling it dry?? like hello?????? Ed obviously cares about his hair a lot since he’s grown it so long and kept it that long, and just the concept of him hesitantly allowing Roy to take care of this small but important thing for him?? because no matter how they normally act, deep down Ed does really look up to Roy and wants to be able to trust him with more personal stuff like this??? and Roy being stupidly happy that Ed’s letting him do this, because the kid’s always so prickly and normally adamant that he doesn’t need help??? like I’m losing my mind over this
