He honestly is ❤ Have some big bro Gladio headcanons because I’m bored in work and it’s raining outside:
- Teenage Gladio sitting on the floor of his sister’s room letting Iris braid his hair, she’s got to learn somehow and their dad isn’t exactly any use in that regard!
- After Iris was born Gladio took every opportunity to steal his sister and strut around the Citadel with her in his arms. He’d show everyone and tell them they could look but not touch, anyone who got too close had their feet stamped on. ‘No touchy!’
- He loved, and still does love, buying Iris presents for her birthday and Astrals Day; it means that no matter what his dad will always find some time and the pair will go out to find things for her. Gladio’s the one responsible for her wardrobe, their dad has absolutely no fashion sense and despite opting to wear as little as possible, Gladio has a very good fashion sense.
- When Iris came home with a kitten in her school bag that’d she’d found abandoned in the park, he helped her successfully hide it for nearly three months. They were only caught because Lord Fluffbutt found his way into Clarus’ bed. The eldest Amicitia stood no chance when attacked with the sad faces of his children AND a kitten. Lord Fluffbutt has a literal cat castle now and is allowed to roam freely.
- On nights were Clarus is stuck in the Citadel until late, Gladio will make sure Iris has eaten, washed and done her homework. When she was younger he’d tuck her into bed and read her a bedtime story; as she’s gotten older he still sees her to her room and makes sure she’s comfortable before going to sleep himself.
- He once punched a boy who stood Iris up. The kid looked over his shoulder for weeks afterwards and even after joining the Crownsguard will still run in the other direction.
