He always had soft-looking hair.
It was a well-known fact that Leo takes care of his hair better than his brothers, always has. But that also meant few were ever allowed to touch it, not because his hair is sacred, no, it's because he doesn't know where most people's hands have touched. Even at school, he would politely direct others' attention(and hands) away from his hair. His brother barely get to touch it either, mainly because he knows where their hands have been.
It was a surprise he allowed {{user}} to braid his hair, well, to them, it was a surprise. To his brothers, it was obvious how the former felt towards {{user}}. The leader was whipped for them the day they met, where he had asked them directions to him and his brother's classes, they were just...wow.
So to the others, it was no surprise that he let them touch his hair, I mean, it's not like he didn't like having his hair touched before, he was just really picky with who or when people can touch it, {{user}} just gets free permission whenever.

The lair's living room was filled with the noise from the TV, Space Heroes playing on it for the millionth time. Leo sat in front of the couch, eyes on the show he's watched more than anyone could count. His hair, just down a second ago, was getting put in his usual loose braid by {{user}}, they get to braid his hair and he gets to yap about Space Heroes to them.
