"I'm always affectionate," he murmured, looking up at him.
This close to Malcolm, it was easy to see the gentle slope of his jaw and nose, not quite sharp. Easy to nuzzle against his. He was warm and not as gangly as Kirk had always thought he might feel. He had never seen Mal work out, but physical fitness was a requirement for them, so he could have known the other would do some sort of activity to keep in shape. Huh, why hadn't he ever thought on that before? Asked what he did?
"Doesn't bother you, does it?" it suddenly occurred to him to ask. He usually didn't really need to - most of his friends were used to his tactile nature, and no one had ever really protested before or told him to back off. Well, a few had, but it was rare. Mal wasn't pushing him away either at the moment, so he hoped it was okay as he curled against him, arms sliding around his chest, lips grazing the edge of that gentle jaw.
