*The Princess is doing everything to keep her mind on the mission at the moment. She's always held Shiro in such high esteem as the perfect soldier and leader and now she's seen, yes, he really is the perfect soldier. It's enough to make her blush a bit deeper before shaking her head with a clear of her throat.

Hearing him, Allura gives a sort of shy glance over her shoulder back to him.*

W-Well, your room is closer, isn't it? We can go to yours and maybe I could barrow your sheet, please? *It's a plan at least.

Her eyes idly drift down once he so willingly lets go of his tray and in an instant her eyes snap back up and her head turns back around, nodding with another clearing of her throat, taking a scooting step towards the doors with a bit of nervousness swelling up that makes her hesitate.*

What- What if someone sees us?

[ Focus, willpower, and piloting protocol are all his mind's allowing to keep himself down. Or at least halfway. Using his hand, or anything else, at this point will make matters harder.

Literally. ]

Right now we only have to worry about Coran. He's just started cleaning the engine room, so that gives us at least two hou- vargas.

[ That sure is a heck of a lot of time to force himself to keep his cool. ]

Anyone boards back in early then I'll lock off my door and ask them to bring us a proper set of clothes. For now, sheets will have to do.

[ He has to break away from looking straight ahead and turn to her while leaving the bridge. ]

I want you to know that I'd never think any less of you over this.

[ His body's probably showing the truth in that, but he feels the words are more important in the moment. ]

*Little bouts of nervousness make her idly fiddle with her hair, hiding her eyes behind soft lavender strands. She knows she has to keep a level head and a professional facade up but- it's hard when he looks so damn handsome and acts so sweet despite the situation.

Oh stars, if Coran, of all people, find them then the poor thing may suffer an Altean equivalent of a heart attack.* That- sounds like the best plan we can afford right now.

*Following beside him, when he actually looks at her and she, in turn, looks up at him despite the two of them being very naked, she can't help but give a faint smile. Around him, Allura doesn't feel her modesty is in question. Reaching out, she takes his human hand with hers and squeezes.*

Thank you.

I don't- I could never think any less of you over this, either, Shiro.

[ The universe is unfair, he knows that, but her long hair flows on her so smoothly that his eyes get drawn away a little more every time. Makes him think that if the universe can't break him one way, the it will try another.

Her hand's warm in a castle that has never felt cold until this new problem. Shiro's return squeeze is more gentle than firm. Allura's made of tougher stuff, but right now he feels very protective of her in this state. ]

You're making me regret cutting off my hair. [ He has to break the ice somehow. ] Sorry. It's a total mess.

[ The doors slide open to show probably the neatest and most orderly living quarters aside from hers.

Though he is hesitant to go in. No more open castle with as much as needed. The rooms are nice, but really only made to suit one. ]

Uh, after you.

*It's only her hair that hides the very little left of her modesty, strands occasionally swaying with her steps that cause a little slippage but she holds an arm close to her just in case. Her hand squeezes his again before releasing to continue down the very long hallway.*

Don't be silly, it looks fine. *Scruffy Shiro is certainly something she never thought she would see but- no matter what he's in he seems to always have this alluring air around him.

Neat and orderly; a perfect model of a Black Paladin. She walks in, sliding past him justly and takes rather quick notice to just how close in quarters they are now. Shiro doesn't seem put off by her - nakedness- unsure if she even appeals to humans with those light swirls dancing along her skin, so she reaches up to gently muse the soft tuft of white hair.*

It looks nice however you have it.

[ Their teammate camaraderie should, in this very predicament, be that solid lined boundary he doesn't cross. But it's blurring and him cracking a smile at having his patch of hair fiddled with isn't fixing it. ]

Thanks. After being stranded in space for a while, I'll go for clean all the time if I can.

[ Allura's got his defenses down. He doesn't even know it. Not until his teasing smile softens to a real one and he relaxes enough drop his steadfast gaze.

After a couple of seconds he realizes he's gazing at what her hair doesn't cover, and how it lends to her form instead of taking away from it. She's way too beautiful. He quickly coughs into a metal hand and gestures at the bed. ]

Sheets. Hope you like pale green. I'd put out the black ones if I knew this was going to happen.

*All sorts of lines seem to be crossed but- with him smiling at her like that she doesn't care. She fixes his hair, combing her fingers gently through it to put it back in place as he had it before.*

Can't complain. You certainly clean up well.

*She takes notice of his eyes that seem to be looking down the length of her body and while she should be offended or embarrassed- the way he looks at her makes her actually feel...attractive. Very much so.

The cough breaks her from her own gaze up at him and she turns her head, clearing her throat again while nodding quickly, tucking some of her hair behind her pointed ear.*

Pale green sounds lovely. *She laughs lightly at his little quip.* I guess we'll see if it's my color.

[ Any color is. His deep breath swallows those words, not let them get out. Shiro's by the book, right down to not mixing business and pleasure. Even if he rarely allows himself any of the latter. Seeing her like this puts a new spin on everything for him, and in it's in a good way that has too much of an effect on him. He needs to get used to it so he can be fully back in control of himself again.

He leans against the side of his bunk and folds his arms over his chest. He averts his eyes politely for what little privacy that gives her. His own's already forfeit and, well, she's seen pretty much everything already.

Naked or not, she is a guest in his humble abode. ]

Touch panel for the mirror's over there, next to the dresser.

*Taking his sheet, she idly looks it over like it was precious fabric before she starts tugging her hair over one shoulder before turning her back to him again for whatever little privacy is left. With her hair gone from her back, the light patterns show a little more brighter down her spine with little swirls of pink that soon gets covered with the soft green fabric.

It's still a little loose but hangs and wraps around her in a makeshift dress. Allura tries her best to not see it as the pure fact that she's naked, wrapped in his sheet and in his room with him watching her.

Once a little more secure around her, she turns back to him and shakes her head with a small smile, hair still draped over her bare shoulder and down.* I trust your eyes more than a mirror. How does it look?

[ Her words are from trust, he knows, but Allura probably has no idea she's causing his subtle shifts in focus away from him to backfire. What works on the other paladins is putting him in the hot seat and he's quickly trying to adjust.

Difficult to do when he's met with quite a sight.

Allura's silver hair to one side allows the sheets to play silhouette curtain to the markings glowing about her body. Mute pink lights up enough to accentuate her figure and he can't tear himself away. His chest tightens at catching his breath and holding it hostage; as if forcing him to face the fact that he does indeed find Allura to be stunningly attractive. Even to the most disciplined person this side of the universe. ]

Wow. [ Very wow. He can't help but stand up straight. Anything less and he feels it might seem like he's lying. ] Allura... You, you really are amazing.

*There's a faint laugh and another gentle glow of her birthmarks when he looks at her like that. It's sweet and it's kind and for all she knows, he looks like that to everyone but it's still enough to make her feel special.

Gives a quiet thank you at his compliment, touched at how heartfelt it is. Still, she can't help but be a little playful with him and finds it so...natural. Their duo leadership, similarities in suffering and the weight on their shoulders makes her feel comfortable with him; as a Princess, a Paladin, and as just...herself.*

You may have a little bias though, my black Lion.

*Sad realization sweeps that, no matter how comfortable she may be, they may never have a situation like this again, where one another has absolutely nothing left to hide or that warm feeling of seeing him naked and how attractive he is. She clears her throat and glances away, motioning towards the door.* I um- I should probably leave you to your privacy then. T-Thank you- for helping me and not panicking that we both were- naked.

[ Anyone else and Shiro's sure there'd at least be a few explosions and an accidental injury. If all goes at it should, no one would know the two of them faced a crisis that's more personal than physical. Being compromised isn't something he's used to and seeing her handle the same in her own way is oddly comforting. ]

Maybe, Princess.

[ This time he is lying and he fails to bite back the smirk that says as much.

Every part of him, especially the parts he's caught her lingering on out of the corner of his eye, wants to reach out to stay. The sole time he wants to be selfish and indulge. Test the waters and see if they go any deeper than the shore line he and Allura carefully skirt around.

All he has to do is say "You're welcome." and they kept the status quo, like leaders do. ]

Allura?

[ That's not what's supposed to come out! Decision time?

There's precious little time that not even the speed of thought can make the most of. He'd rather be in battle fighting for his life. At least he knows exactly what to do there. ]

*Had it been anyone else then there may have been much more yelling and possibly a body flying off somewhere from being pitched but as it is- because it IS Shiro, she feels safe, not judged at all, and...attractive.

She's about to turn to fumble with the door but something different catches her ear.

Her name.

She's heard him call her name before but mostly it's 'Princess'. To hear him say her name so casually and warm? It's so new.

Quick to turn, almost eagerly, she glances up at him with wide teal, pink speckled, eyes.* Y-Yes?

[ Time's up. For how fast his heartbeat's sped up his hand sure does feel cold. Only for a moment until he remembers how warm her hand was earlier and the way she squeezed his.

This is right. Not allowing himself much isn't what's unfair, not to him; it's not considering how she feels. Right now there's only vague hints that she may not have even meant to do.

Metal finger curl ever so slightly and his memory locks away the image of the way she's looking at him right now.

In case everything backfires even more and either of them are left hurt. ]

You're safe to go back and I'm glad I could help.

[ He holds out his left hand and looks her in the eye. This window for them is so small and he doesn't want to let it slip. But that needs to be a mutual decision; not just his. ]

I want you to know that I meant what I said when we left the bridge. If you'd like to stay...I think I'd like that too.

[ He's never felt more vulnerable on reaching out this far on a limb. ]

*Mentally, she lightly curses herself with how eager she must have seemed, a little too excited to hear him call out for her like that.

Her eyes flick across his face, attempting to read him but he's done a wonderful job at keeping his emotions a bit hidden. Maybe she's being a silly girl with her silly crush.

There was only a flicker of disappointment, thinking he was dismissing her but her eyes catch the look and the extend of his hand... Without thought, Allura slips her hand in his and oh, how it aches in such a good way. Perhaps they can be selfish with one another just for a night.

Stepping closer to him, her eyes glance back up at him while her hand curves in his, palm to palm with her fingers lacing with his.* I want to stay here...with you.

*A sudden wave of bravery hits and with no reason to feel embarrassed, Allura relaxes her arms and allows the soft green sheet to fall off of her, pooling fabric at her ankles and leaving her bare for his eyes without the obstruction of her hair to hide her, either. Her hand that holds his carefully guides it to the small of her back, setting his palm to her skin with eyes never breaking from his.*

[ Neutral is natural when playing it too close to the chest. Before now Shiro's unsure there's any other way for him to do so.

Piercing his adamant guard, him wanting her to, pauses his breath at the touch. His fingers slowly interlock with hers in time with acknowledging that what they want can actually be. And if he's honest, what they need in a life where personal down time is almost non-existent.

A near silent acceptance of "Okay." has much more to it when he's saying it just enough for her to hear.

Grey eyes find hers as she answers an unspoken question about the pale sheet that's now sliding off her body. His throat almost hurts when he swallows at her touch and feels the warmth she radiates. The permissions that his morality demands are met and Shiro's touch slowly roves around to become familiar.

Everything is new territory that he's not prepared for, but Allura's guiding him as much as he's doing for her.

With how close they are all he can do is take that last step closer. Metal reflects the pink glow as places his other hand on her hip. Shiro has less qualms about any awkwardness as he feels himself press up against her lower abdomen. He can't afford to have them this far in on a night this rare. ]

*She trusts him with everything; he's her Black Paladin and, as far as many are concerned, her second in command. In such a stressful life a little release of tension can only be natural but also, she's wanted such a thing to happen even if she hasn't fully admitted it to herself.

His grey eyes catch hers and there's a soft glow of embarrassment that stains her cheeks. He's looking down at her, so close and intimate, she can't help but let her gaze drop to his lips then back up. That tension seems to be climbing higher and bubbling to a point she's never felt and while she's unsure of just what's going on, she runs on instinct.

That step closer makes her breath hitch in her throat with the mix of warmth from his body and the cool metal of his arm, her fingertips coming up to gently touch his chin and sweep along the sharp curve of his jaw. She just wants to soothe him, touch him and assure him she'll never let anything happen to him again.

Leaning barely in, Allura stops short of their lips touching and instead ghosts the faintest hint of a kiss before her eyes gaze back up at his through dark lashes.*

Are you...sure this is okay? I don't- want to make you uncomfortable.
