[ there's an art to getting pants on without having hands. it involves flexibility, dexterity and lying on the bed to make the pants drop down his legs and then pushing into an awkward half back roll to yank the fabric up over his ass and hips with his mouth. extremely elegant stuff, and not exactly a routine keith wants shiro to see. with time and practice, he's gotten this down to less than the predicted fifteen minutes, and saunters out into the living room looking vaguely pleased with himself.
then after asking shiro to open up a window, it's just a simple matter of leaping out of it and opening up his wings to catch a thermal. keith's laughter is clearly audible on the way down as he tells shiro he'll be waiting downstairs. what would have been sensible is if keith had actually bothered to grab his phone before pulling this stunt, but he's left it wedged between the mattress and headboard. if shiro gets stuck at any point between the front door and the entrance to their apartment, he may be relying on neighbors for help. mercifully, it's not too long a wait so the moose antlers can't have been much of a hindrance? he's assuming anyway. the walk to the park is similarly non eventful, though keith occasionally hops into the sky when walking on talons starts getting uncomfortable and avian instincts make him antsy. but there's a lot to be said for being outdoors with a nice sunny sky (and no doorways) that's gotten keith in a better mood after that whole jameson fiasco.
hell, you could even say he's starting to show off a little with some mid air twirls as they head towards a more secluded spot by the emerald park lake. shiro brings up the rear holding two popsicles bought from an ice cream stand near by. as keith settles onto the grass, he grins up happily at shiro. ]
I wonder if I can hold the popsicle stick with my feet. [ an experimental flex of his talons and an even more experimental lean forward before straightening up with a laugh. ] Pretty awkward to watch though. Hope you don't mind holding stuff for me for ... however long this lasts.
