If I Rebooted Tin Man

Chapter 4: MC: Hair Day

Ambrose used to brush young DG's hair for her. When he sees less-young DG struggling to pull a brush through her hair after several days without an opportunity to, Glitch begins to do it for her without thinking.

Glitch isn't sure why he knows how to do this, considering the tangled and dreaded mess that is his hair. DG isn't sure why she's so comfortable with him doing this, considering he's an objectively strange guy that she's only known for a relatively short amount of time. Neither of them really care.

("Glitch do Raw next?" Raw asks, gesturing to his own mane, and that is how they end up spending the rest of the day playing around with styling hair — they even manage to make Glitch's messy dreads a bit neater!)

(Cain barely has any hair and doesn't have the first clue how you style it. That's okay, though, he's happy to just watch the rest of them playing around and having fun)

(His heart starts to hurt, but he's had years to mourn. Today, he's just going to enjoy the moment and let himself imagine how Adora would've laughed at the sight of their fun)

(He's never going to stop missing his family. But maybe he can love this ridiculous group of wannabe resistance fighters he's found himself with too)
