Ever since having their first time together and Haxus claimed (Y/n) as his mate and she claimed him as hers they felt closer as a couple than before; (Y/n) loved how extra affectionate Haxus was with her and she felt clingier than usual, although it was to be expected after all the bonding they'd been doing. (Y/n) really disliked having to leave her boyfriend in their room every day, she felt incredibly guilty for having to leave him alone since she knew he got super lonely whenever she had to go out and do her duties. Haxus understood that (Y/n) had to continue to be a part of the Voltron team and do her daily duties, but that didn't mean he couldn't miss her until she came back to their room. Every night when they went to bed he couldn't stop hugging her against his body, he was becoming touch starved easier and not having his mate with him was only causing him to have anxiety. Luckily, with the paladins being super busy ever since Lotor gave himself up (Y/n) got to spend more time with Haxus than before, much to their relief.

Obviously they still had to be careful because Coran was still around, although they hadn't been caught yet and since they always kept their guard up there was less of a chance of the others finding out about Haxus. When the paladins were gone on a mission one afternoon and Coran was busy in the observation deck on the comms with them (Y/n) and Haxus decided to sneak to the bathroom so they could take a shower together; they had to behave themselves and not get distracted when they were naked in the shower together, otherwise it would be impossible for her to sneak Haxus back to their room. (Y/n) took a snack to Coran so that he wouldn't leave the observation deck if he got hungry, she didn't want to get caught with Haxus and at the same time she wanted to do something nice for the ancient altean man who was like the uncle she'd never had. As soon as the young woman returned to the room she shared with Haxus so she could get him, they grabbed a couple of towels from the linen closet and headed to the bathroom, making sure the door was locked. Haxus and (Y/n) undressed themselves before getting into the shower; Haxus turned the water on and made sure it wasn't too hot or too cold for him and his significant other.

"It feels like it's been forever since we've been able to do this." (Y/n) said when she stepped into the shower, letting out a sigh of relief when she felt the water-like substance gently pelting down against her skin.

"I couldn't agree more, darling. After we get done in here I want to cuddle with you in bed." Haxus replied, getting into the shower behind (Y/n) and closing the glass door.

"That sounds nice and all, but for now I just want to take a shower with you." (Y/n) responded with a weary tone, just happy to have the opportunity to shower with him; she couldn't help but look at his naked form, admiring how slim yet muscular he looked.

Haxus let out an affectionate purr and knelt down behind her, burying his face in her hair and breathing in her scent, feeling undeniably content while he embraced her from behind. As much as he enjoyed having sex with her he loved the calm moments they had together, being around (Y/n) made him feel like there was peace in the universe for the first time in a very long time. The warm water-like liquid rained down against his back, a relaxing sensation that had him purring like a kitten; Haxus really couldn't wait til the day he and (Y/n) could live in a house of their own, then they could live as civilians either in the countryside or in a peaceful galra colony. (Y/n) just stood there with her eyes closed, enjoying the quiet moment in the shower with him. She blushed when she felt the tip of Haxus' cock poking her back, it was awfully tempting to do something naughty with her lover whilst in the shower but there just wasn't enough time.

"Hey there, you know we can't do that yet." (Y/n) reprimanded, reminding Haxus that they couldn't allow themselves to get distracted, otherwise someone might find them if the paladins came back earlier than expected.

"Don't remind me." Haxus grumbled with a dry tone, unhappy about not being able to have a little fun while they were naked in the shower together.

"Someone has to, otherwise we'll be in here forever. If you want to touch me so badly then I'll let you wash my hair, but let me wash your back first." (Y/n) responded humorously, sassing him a little which caused him to let out a short laugh of pure joy, a sound that she enjoyed hearing.

Haxus loved it when (Y/n) got sassy with him, so he unwrapped his arms from around her midsection and turned around, kneeling down far enough so she could reach all the way up to the back of his head. (Y/n) carefully walked over to the little shelf and grabbed her loofah and the soap she often used, getting the poofy loofah ready so she could wash her lover's back. She put the soap back on the shelf prior to walking over to her boyfriend and getting her loofah wet so she could begin washing his back; (Y/n) never really paid too much attention to Haxus' back, although as she carefully rubbed the loofah up and down his lean back she noticed how many scars he received from past battles. (Y/n) made sure to be gentle as she rubbed the soapy loofah up and down his back, occasionally squatting so she could wash his lower back and the firm arse she loved touching every so often, then she stood up so she could wash the back of his head and neck. He had scars all over his body, but a majority of them were scattered across his back and a few of them looked as though they happened during battles within the past five years or so before she found him.

While she washed his back for him a full body shudder swept through Haxus while a quiet purr rumbled deep within his chest; no one had washed his back in such a long time that just the feeling of the loofah being delicately rubbed up and down along his spine had him feeling more excited and oddly relaxed at the same time. He didn't need to look down to know that his friend had come out of its protective sheath a couple of inches, ready to have a little fun that probably wouldn't happen because he had to be patient. Haxus loved the sensation of (Y/n) washing his back with the soapy loofah, breathing in the floral/fruity scent of the soap she usually used. For a moment his mind went blank, thoroughly enjoying the quiet moment in the shower with his mate, just the two of them without any distractions. He couldn't wait til he got to gently wash her hair, giving him another opportunity to touch her in a new way; Haxus' eyes went wide when he was hugged from behind, his body heating up when he felt a familiar pair of boobs pressed against his back.

"You're so cute when you're purring like that." (Y/n) whispered when she hugged Haxus from behind, pressing her wet body against his; not only did she think he was cute but she also wanted to turn him on a little.

"Only for you, love." Haxus responded, his voice sounding a little deeper than usual because of how relaxed and turned on he felt during that moment.

(Y/n) smiled and pressed a delicate kiss on his right shoulder where there wasn't any soap, then she stood up fully and resumed washing his back for him. She remembered how skinny Haxus was when she found him, he nearly looked like a living skeleton at the time and she was thankful that she found him when she did even though back then she didn't know it would lead to them being in a romantic relationship. With Haxus' nails still trimmed down low (Y/n) wasn't nervous about when he washed her hair, she knew he would be gentle with her when he got to help her get clean. If they got washed and dried quickly enough then she and Haxus could have a little extra cuddle time in their room, (Y/n) just had to make sure things between them didn't get too loud or distract them too much in case someone got worried about her; as far as the paladins and Coran knew she was just taking a shower, the one thing they could never know was that she wasn't alone. However, just because they couldn't have full on sex didn't mean they couldn't mess around a little as long as they were quiet, it wasn't like (Y/n) would prevent them from having a little fun in the safety of their bedroom.

__________

The only sound in the small bedroom were almost too quiet purrs coming from Haxus; after finishing their shower together, drying off and returning to their bedroom all he wanted to do was cuddle with (Y/n). Earlier he and (Y/n) had felt horny whilst showering together, the young woman even touched her lover and he nearly ate her out when they were drying off, but once they were comfortable on their bed all they wanted to do was cuddle. With her lover shirtless and smelling good all (Y/n) could do was bury her face against his chest, her eyes closed so she could rest in his warm embrace amongst their collection of fuzzy blankets. Haxus felt at peace as he cuddled with (Y/n), without anyone to bother them they could spend as much time together as they wanted; he still felt a little excited, of course, but he wasn't going to let the tingling in his loins get in the way of his quality snuggle time with his lovely young mate. He could feel her warm breath against his chest as (Y/n) slowly and softly breathed, loving how relaxed she was in his arms while they laid naked underneath one of the lighter blankets.

"You're awfully affectionate all of a sudden, is there a reason in particular?" (Y/n) quietly asked Haxus with a curious tone, looking up at him through her eyelashes.

"Can't I simply enjoy our time in bed together? You're my mate, I want you to feel loved and cherished." Haxus answered, his gaze meeting hers when he looked down at her with a loving expression.

"Of course you can, I was just curious. I love spending time with you like this, just the two of us without any distractions." (Y/n) responded, letting out a nearly silent sigh as she once again closed her eyes.

Haxus bent his neck forward and buried his nose in (Y/n's) hair, breathing in the scent of the shampoo and conditioner she used along with her natural pheromones, his ears perking up when he smelled how her pheromones had changed a little. He counted the weeks since her last period in his mind and realized that it would soon be making a return; when her period came Haxus would take care of her as much as he could, he would just have to be stealthy if he needed to get anything for her. While he was caught up in his thoughts (Y/n) was lightly caressing his abs; they were very slight, but they were there and she loved touching the flat yet firm area of muscle on him. The way Haxus, as well as all galra, could purr fascinated her; the deep rumbling sound was so unique, it sounded deeper than any cat on Earth could make and she loved how he could lull her to sleep by purring. Life had been so crazy for (Y/n) that she often lost track of what day of the month it was, although it was easy to do when one lived in the vastness of space inside a giant alien castle ship.

"I know that you've probably forgotten what time of the month it is, but I feel that I should warn you about your upcoming monthly condition." Haxus spoke up after a few minutes, deciding to warm his mate that her period would be starting sometime in the next few days.

"What? Already? I guess that explains why I've been having (P/s) lately." (Y/n) replied awkwardly, suddenly realizing why she hadn't been feeling too good on and off within the past few days; she completely forgot that her period would be coming soon because she'd been so busy, she just hoped that the paladins would be alright without her help when it came.

"I'll take care of you when it comes." Haxus whispered comfortingly, he always took care of (Y/n), especially when she was most vulnerable every month.

With the promise of being taken care of (Y/n) felt okay with having her period, plus if it was coming then it meant she wasn't pregnant. It wasn't that she didn't want to have kids with Haxus, but (Y/n) didn't know if he even wanted to have kids with her and there was still the issue of him being in hiding, if she got pregnant then the others would want to know who the father was since Shiro was gay, she viewed Coran as family and everyone else were still technically kids. (Y/n) hoped that she and Haxus could at least discuss having kids someday when they had a home of their own once there was peace throughout the universe. Before she saved him Haxus never had the opportunity to have a mate and he certainly never thought about having kids of his own, it just wasn't something he ever thought about much, so naturally it wasn't on his mind during that moment. (Y/n) and Haxus stayed snuggled up against each other, neither of them wanting to leave their bed until it was absolutely necessary.
