[ ah yes. their little skinny dipping adventure. it takes up a good portion of brain real estate in shiro’s head. he can’t say he’s surprised by keith’s approval toward the prospect of seeing some bare skin but it warms shiro anyway. fantastic; go ahead and make shiro’s overheated state worse. the unvoiced joke is promptly forgotten in the wake of seeing keith’s smile turn shy and shiro merely hums, part dreamy, part smitten, as he obediently follows after keith.
halfway to the lake’s edge, he does remember his popsicle and despite the risk of brain freeze, he’s quick to finish off the rest of it. he’ll likely regret it come laundry day, but for now, he stuffs both popsicle sticks in his pocket and then taps into his manna to wet his hands, saturating the drips of syrup, only to clean them completely with a quick wipe at his pants.
shiro slows to a stop beside keith, a good arm’s length between them and he’s just barely begun to scan the landscape of the lake when keith… penguinifies himself. again. shiro can’t help it, he has to laugh. bending down, he helps keith find the hem and then freedom and -- goodness, he really is such a cute little ball of feathers. he runs his palm over that silly, penguin mullet and gently nudges keith toward the water. ]
Have fun. [ and don’t get into too much trouble, is the silent tag-along. with that, he sits himself down and starts working on the buckles of his boots. ] I’ll wait for you here and cool off my toes.
