Prompt: (AusHun) The couple grooming each other. Bonus points if they obsess over each other's hair with envy and adoration. Double bonus points if they're bathing together, too~

Elisabeta ran her hands though Roderich's soft, light hair. She loved the feel of it. Too bad she would have to get it wet soon. It had taken her a long time to get him to have a bath with her but this was worth it. She continued to run her fingertips over his scalp. Once in a while, he would left out a soft purr when she touched him somewhere he particularly liked it. She loved his smooth dark-brown hair. She could run her hands through it like this forever.
"Hunny, didn't you want to wash my hair?" he chuckled after a while. She knew he didn't really mind what she was doing. After all, she did this once in a while to soothe him when he was stressed.
She took the shower head and turned the water on. She held her hand under it to wait for the right temperature. When she thought it was okay, she let some of the water rinse down her beloved's back. "Is the temperature fine like this?" she whispered, stroking his shoulders.
He nodded. From what she could tell, he was too relaxed to answer. She let out a soft chuckle. He was just so cute like this. She waited for him to tilt his head back before she started to soak his hair. She watched the water run down his spine. She couldn't help but kiss the back of his neck.
After a while, she turned off the water again to get the shampoo. She rubbed some of it between her hands before she massaged it into his hair. She took her time with it, moving her fingers over his scalp longer than necessary. She continued like this until the foam started to vanish. It just felt too good to have her fingers in his hair. She should really do this more often. She just wished she had hair this soft and easy to comb.

After the bath, Roderich gently dried her hair. First, he took a towel to predry her hair. He rubbed the tips between the towel first, before he slowly started to move up to her head. He took his time to ruffle through her drying hair and stroke her head a bit more than necessary.
He loved playing with her long locks. He liked the way it lightened up when he dried it in his fingers. The little gleams of copper and bronze that made up the light brown of her hair never failed to astonish him. And the way her locks went back in shape when you pulled them gently was almost like a miracle to someone whose easy-care hair stayed straight no matter what.
When he felt like he had done enough with the towel he took a hairbrush. He liked brushing through her long locks. When he did so, the locks straightened a bit so the brush left gentle waves behind.
He carefully brushed all her hair before he took the hairdryer. He knew it would have taken him a long time if he had done so earlier but for the last bits it was alright. Elisabeta herself usually just air-dried her hair and afterwards complained that she looked like a mop. Roderich never told her so but he thought she looked even more adorable like that.
When he was done drying and had brushed her hair one more time, she turned around to smile at him. He smiled back before briefly kissing her lips. After a moment of fondly staring at her, he took a barrette from the bathroom cabinet – his favorite which resembled two chicory blossoms – and carefully used It to pin half her bangs to the side.
Kissing her on the forehead, he whispered: "Thank you for growing out your hair for me." Amongst so many other things, he loved her for that.
