[ 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.
