[ a brief amused sound escapes him once that penguin weight flops onto his thighs and then he’s smiling through the rest of that amusement, hand coming down to cup the back of his head before sliding down. down to smooth out that mullet, down to pet the length of back and down, finally, to flick at that pointed tail. honestly, shiro has no idea why thieving would be a concern. they rarely have anyone over to begin with and even then, why snatch a rock? he rather likes this playfulness on keith’s part though and so, shiro’s willing to humor the joke. ]
You’re right. Precious stones are extremely valuable. [ he laughs a little, amused at himself for that stellar wordplay. see, of course this doesn’t qualify as one of the precious stones but it is precious in another way. so, shiro makes a show of holding the rock closer to his chest, fingers curling in to mostly hide it. can’t be too sure of other park-goers, you know? maybe that unicorn is still watching them and taking note of shiro’s new treasure.
he smoothes keith’s mullet down again and ends mid-back, giving him some gentle scratches. ]
i keep being suckered back by how cute penguin keith is.
