[ He grins on back, and honestly? He's absolutely excited to spar against Keith. They haven't really been able to, here or back home. If it weren't for the fact that he wants to just take it easy all day, he'd definitely propose they go out and spar.

And... ah. Shiro raises his hand and brushes the hair away from his face. He can't help but admire how... beautiful Keith is. It takes his breath away. He could get lose in those violet eyes and not want to find his way out.

His hands rest at Keith's hips. ]

With a view like this? Not at all.

[He smiles, it lights up his face all the way to the eyes. He sits just looks down at Shiro. His Shiro. He’s gorgeous and that is just a bonus to the kindness and mutual love and appreciation between them. His pale hair makes him look his real age, adding an ethereal otherworldly quality to him.

He runs his fingers through it. Every detail, every change settles into his mind. He traces the strong jaw to his neck and down, fingers tracing the familiar and finding it new again. ] Good. I’m not tired.

Don’t plan to move either. [He raises on eyebrow and his smile turns a little sly.] You can enjoy the view all you want.

[ If it were anyone but Keith, he might be embarrassed by how closely he's being studied. Instead, his eyes slide shut for a moment. He lets Keith touch him, and as he does, he makes quiet, pleased little noises.

He cranes his neck, to allow Keith to touch him more. His eyes open lazily, and he watches him through half-lidded eyes. He's not tired--far from it--he's just...

Relaxed. ]

Watch my beautiful boyfriend as he enjoys touching me? I can't complain about that.

[He ducks his head but there’s no missing the blush on his face. He still gets floored when Shiro says things like that. He can’t hide from Shiro and the look on his boyfriend’s face is something he won’t trade anything for. He looks relaxed.

And he is about to help with that. He sets his hands on his shoulders and kneads the muscle there. He has training in this skill. Galra are social more so than they probably want to admit. Helping each other after a mission is a given. He works the muscle with his fingers, humming contentedly to himself.]

I do enjoy it. If you turn over I can work out the tension in your back.

[ Oh. Shiro isn't quite expecting that, but when Keith's fingers sink into tight muscle, he lets out a low groan. He closes his eyes. ]

That would be incredible.

[ He isn't moving quite yet--it feels too good. ]

[He slips off of Shiro to give him room to roll over. Keith notes how the left side is tenser than the right. It makes sense. He pays special attention to it.]

Your left side is a mess. Makes sense...how long did it take us to fly home?

[ He lets out a low groan, but as Keith works at the muscles, he relaxes a bit. ]

A few months. It was rough on all of us.

... Allura said we got stranded in space for a bit? [He takes a second to appreciate the noise Shiro made. It’s a heavenly noise. Keith hums to himself, content in the universe as he works the back of Shiro’s shoulders.]

Your left side is a mess. Makes sense you went months with using the left the most.
