[ shiro's being careful with him, but it still makes keith hiss when shiro pulls off his shirt and then the dressing underneath. a healing pod would've been a better way to handle it, sure, but. the idea of being trapped alone in one with nothing left to do but think? it had rattled keith, and he hadn't actually been able to force himself long enough to climb inside a pod and let it work.
so he's grateful when shiro skips the argument entirely, breathing out a little sigh of relief and tipping his head to one side obediently when the other man picks up the canister of goo. and it's a surprise when the stuff that shiro smoothes over him doesn't even hurt -- if anything, the pain lessens almost immediately, enough for keith to be able to roll his shoulder tentatively without an answering stab of protest. it's... actually a little incredible, and he can't resist the urge to reach up and prod at it gently with his other hand to admire the fact that it's already closed and scarred over.
... more proof that he's a dumbass for not letting shiro help him in the first place.
but that next bit has him quirking an eyebrow, one corner of his mouth threatening to tug up into a little smile. ] ... right, because I totally forgot about the terrible injury that won't let me take my pants off on my own.
