Shiro watches Lance stir to life with what can only be described as rapt awe, pushing away a lock of hair that he slept funny on behind his ear where it sticks up rebelliously. There’s a splotch of purple right below Lance’s ear, impossible to hide with any piece of clothing unless Lance suddenly decides to wear a scarf around his head.
Last night… totally happened. Last night totally happened after yesterday happened, and Shiro is pretty sure that Lance went through two emotional rebounds in the span of an hour in an attempt to ground himself. It’s not that Shiro thinks Lance regretted it, but… he can worry about it still. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea at the time, but Lance looks soft and content, and Shiro isn’t keen on watching what his expression will settle into when he remembers life outside this bedroom.
“How did you sleep?” he asks softly, careful to not break the quiet peace.
lance could very much preen under this attention, if given the chance. shiro’s expression is all soft and warm and his fingers are gentle and lance loves it. and he hasn’t forgotten what happened last night -- actually he’d probably have to be numb to forget, given the aches and pains. but it’s good. it’s all good, and the stiffness when lance shifts enough to face shiro is the good kind of pull.
❛ really good. ❜ it’s his turn to reach, thumb brushing across shiro’s cheekbone as lance smiles. ❛ it was really good. ❜ all of it. lance means that. needs shiro to know that. that it wasn’t some...spur of the moment stupid choice. that lance wanted it and he loved it and he’s going to keep wanting it. he kind of wants it right now, but he’s not about to say that out loud.
the smell of food finally cuts through the rest of his senses, and lance groans, hand spread out over shiro’s face. ❛ can’t we just pretend life doesn’t have to happen anymore and stay here in a sexy embrace forever? ❜
