Adam stared at himself in his armour. Although he doubts it would count as actual armour considering a few vital organs are still exposed to attacks but that doesn't matter. What matters is how tight the under suit was. It wasn't like it was comfortable to move in, honestly it felt like he was wearing a suit similar to the ones back on Earth. But it made him feel weird. He hated the way it clung to his body and he was questioning why he even was a paladin now.
Adam wasn't much of a pilot. He was always in the navigator seat because he knew how to read the stars and figure out where to go from there. But he was never in the pilot seat, he had no real interest in it. Yet somehow, he was now a pilot. And wearing a uniform that made him feel like ripping off his own skin.
"You look good in that." Shiro's words pulled Adam's attention from the mirror. "It makes me a little jealous that others will get to be thrown around by you."
Adam just rolled his eyes as Shiro walked closer, his arms encircling Adam's waist. "How… flattering," Adam said.
Shiro just hummed as he placed a kiss on Adam's cheek. "Can't even pretend that you were into that?" Shiro asked.
Adam couldn't help but cringe slightly as he shook his head. "No but it was a cute attempt at flirting," Adam said, "Weird but still cute."
Shiro let out a displeased huff before nosing at Adam's jaw. Adam tilted his head and Shiro took the opportunity to kiss at Adam's neck. "Take off the chest plate," Shiro said after a few moments.
"It's in the way." Shiro pulled back to pout at Adam. Adam simply gave Shiro a quick kiss before gently pushing him away.
"I can't," Adam said, "I promised the team that I'd do one of those training exercises and I need to wear this."
Although he absolutely hated it but he couldn't back out on his promise. Shiro just hummed as his hands moved to rest on his sides, just above his hips.
"Do you want to?" He asked.
Adam raised a brow, "To do the training exercise? Not really, I don't like surprises but I can push through."
Shiro shook his head, "Not what I meant." Shiro gently pulled at the belt Adam worse, "I was talking about you wearing this."
Adam shrugged. "It's just a new uniform, I'll get used to it." He pressed a kiss to Shiro's cheek while he just made a face.
"Maybe we can do something fun when I'm done?" Adam suggested. Shiro gave a small nod and smile that turned into a pout when Adam pulled away from him and headed for the door, "Great, I'll find you in your room."
With that, he left and went to the training deck. Which was pretty strange to say the least. Coran had them do all sorts of things that was supposed to help them get used to Adam being the paladin of the Black Lion instead of Shiro. He hated it, in fact he found it all to be worst than a surprise. But at least he could take off the armour when he goes to see Shiro after all of this.
Once the training exercises were done, Adam left for Shiro's room immediately. When he got there, he let out a small breath before opening the door as stepping inside. Shiro was sitting in bed and smiled when he saw Adam.
"Hey," Shiro said, "You look amazing."
Adam rolled his eyes as he went to Shiro's closet, searching through the clothes in hopes of finding something unnecessarily loose. "Where are your looser clothes?" Adam asked after a bit.
He couldn't find what he was looking for and it was starting to irritate him. "Probably in the left corner, Coran wouldn't take them back so I just leave them there," Shiro said.
Adam hummed as he immediately pushed the clothes to the right, a small growl escaping him when he still couldn't find the clothes he wanted.
"Hey, relax a bit." Shiro's voice was soft as he placed a hand on Adam's lower back, "They're right here."
Shiro moved a few more clothes and pulled out a pajama set that was clearly too big for him before placing them on the bed, "Want some help taking that off?" Shiro asked.
Adam shook his head as he immediately started to take off the paladin armour. The outer armour was somewhat easy to take off but the under suit was refusing to come off. It was like the under suit wanted to cling to Adam's body and show off every inch of him to the world. It made him want to cry.
Adam let out a small breath as he closed his eyes. His eyes burned and he was close to just giving up entirely.
"Let me help you," Shiro said as his hands went to Adam's shoulders.
Adam just whined, "Just get it off me."
Shiro obeyed and helped Adam get the under suit off. Once it was off Adam went for the pajamas that Shiro set on the bed. Adam quickly dressed himself before sitting down on the edge of Shiro's bed.
"Are… are you ok?" Shiro joined him on the bed, sitting near his pillows with his legs pulled up slightly. "That was quite the freak out."
Adam nodded, "I'm fine, the training exercises were just… a lot."
Shiro just hummed, "Want to lay down?" He asked.
Adam looked at Shiro, who was gently patting the space next to him. Adam moved to lay in the offered space and he felt as Shiro adjusted his position slightly in order to be laying down a bit more but still slightly elevated.
"Is it just the training exercises or is there another thing? Because you seemed bothered by something earlier." Adam turned to look at Shiro.
"I don't like the armour," Adam mumbled, "It's… it's too tight."
Shiro hummed as he nodded. "Maybe we can fix it for you, I know Hunk had some issues with his armour," He said.
Adam nodded as he moved closer to Shiro, resting his head on Shiro's chest. "Thank you," Adam said.
Shiro simply wrapped an arm around Adam as he squeezed him, "Of course, after all, my happiness lies with you."
Adam smiled as he looked at Shiro. "Really?" He asked.
Shiro nodded and Adam moved to kiss Shiro. Shiro let out a pleased hum as he brought a hand to the back of Adam's neck. He let out a small whine when Adam pulled away.
"I love you," Adam said.
Shiro smiled, "I love you too," He said as his hand moved from the back of Adam's neck to cradle his jaw.
Adam melted into Shiro's touch before moving to rest his head on his chest again, his arm wrapping around Shiro's midsection. Shiro moved his arms to wrap around Adam, one hand gently rubbing Adam's side.
"Feeling any better?" Shiro asked. Adam gave a weak shrug.
Adam didn't know how he felt anymore. His skin felt like it was buzzing and he couldn't figure out if he wanted to change into more well-fitted pajamas or stay in the loose ones. Shiro didn't seem to mind though, he just laid with Adam while rubbing his side.
"You're my favorite paladin," Adam said and Shiro let out a snort. "You're my favorite paladin too."
