As the months passed Sniv and (Y/n's) secret relationship blossomed; he gave her bigger, more important courtship gifts and he even brought her fresh kills on a somewhat regular basis so that she could have the freshest meat to eat. (Y/n) appreciated his efforts of courting her the traditional galra way, and as soon as he had a few days off from his duties they would go out on their first date together. As usual they kept up their act of master and pet which seemed to work well, and for a while Sniv didn't hear any more rumors about him and (Y/n). He brought it up with her because she deserved to know what had been going around about them and as expected (Y/n) was upset about it; she had every right to be, they both did, but there wasn't much either of them could do to stop the rumors from being spread by some of the other officers. It was a miracle that Zarkon hadn't heard the rumors, although if he had then Sniv figured he would think the rumors were just idle chatter not worth investigating.

(Y/n) felt completely comfortable around Sniv and she wouldn't mind having a little sensual fun with him, the only problem was that she was too anxious to initiate any kind of sex with him. She'd attempted to try a couple of times, unfortunately every time she tried she got nervous and things were awkward between them for a few hours. When Sniv had half a day off from his duties he decided that it would be the perfect opportunity to take a bubble bath with (Y/n) and after he brought it up with her she agreed; she'd never seen him completely naked before, but he'd already seen her naked the night he bought her, and if she was lucky then things would get steamy between them. (Y/n) acted as normally as she could, yet on the inside she was having a mixture of a celebration and a panic attack. She was about to see her boyfriend in the nude for the first time ever and she wasn't sure what to expect, at least since he'd seen her naked before she wasn't embarrassed about it.

From the first time Sniv laid eyes on (Y/n) he couldn't deny that she looked quite fine despite how different her body was compared to a galra woman's; she had a nice shade of (S/t) and he found himself fascinated by her breasts, although because he respected (Y/n) he couldn't find it in himself to objectify the young woman, but that didn't mean he couldn't admit she had a nice body. When the day of their bath came Sniv used his finest bubble bath mixture in the bath and made sure the water-like liquid was warm enough, then he undressed himself and laid a towel on the floor in front of the tub so he could prevent water from getting all over the floor after they eventually got out of their bath. Sniv was excited to take his first bath with (Y/n), so excited that a hot pressure sat heavy in his loins and lower belly. While he drew the bath (Y/n) stayed in the bedroom for a few minutes whilst completely naked, giving herself a little pep-talk to ease her nerves.

“The bath is ready.” Sniv called out to his girlfriend once he'd deemed the bath high enough, briefly admiring how pretty the undisturbed bubbles looked floating on the surface.

“I'm coming.” (Y/n) answered; she opened the bathroom door once she was ready and walked in, then she promptly closed it so that there wouldn't be any drafts.

Sniv grinned when he saw (Y/n's) bare body, yet he tried his best not to stare at her in fear of making her nervous; even with her imperfections he still thought that she had a nice body. Since she'd never seen her lover naked before (Y/n) faced the door for a few seconds and took a couple of deep breaths, preparing herself not to get a nosebleed when she saw Sniv's nakedness. The bodysuits galra wore were always skin tight and left very little to the imagination, and when she turned around and got a good look at Sniv she felt as though she was burning up from the inside. He had a lean, somewhat thick, yet muscular form and a few battle scars on his arms and chest, but the thick hair surrounding his crotch had caught her attention. (Y/n) snapped herself out of her thoughts and walked towards the bathtub, feeling herself trembling ever so slightly.

“Are you ready?” Sniv asked his girlfriend flirtatiously.

“Uh-huh.” (Y/n) answered with a slight nod, unable to think straight with how sexy her boyfriend looked.

Sniv stood up and carefully picked her up bridal style, then he stepped into the tub and sat down with her in his arms. For a moment he thought that he'd filled the tub up too much until he let go of (Y/n) and she sat directly across from him, the water-like liquid coming up to her upper chest. Beneath the liquid she laid her legs slotted between his in an attempt to make herself as comfortable as possible. The warm bath felt relaxing and she loved the sweet floral scent of the bubble bath, afterwards they would both smell nice. They just sat there in peace for a few minutes, enjoying each other's presence in the peacefully quiet bathroom.

“So, what did you think?” Sniv inquired after a few minutes to break the silence with the intention of making his adorably cute girlfriend a little flustered.

“About what, the bath? It's really nice.” (Y/n) asked Sniv curiously, thinking that he was talking about the bath he'd drawn.

“That too, but I mean about me. Do you find me as physically attractive as I find you?” Sniv answered with a slight pout, hoping that the difference of biology didn't put her off; it was more of an insecurity of his than anything, mainly because he knew exactly how different galra men were from human men.

“I- I- u-um… Y-yeah, I think you're physically attractive.” (Y/n) responded shyly as a blush spread across her cheeks; she wasn't expecting to be asked such a question, especially while they were naked together, but she didn't want Sniv to think that she wasn't physically attracted to him.

Sniv felt his own face heat up and he knew that he undoubtedly had a slight blush of his own, nonetheless knowing that (Y/n) was physically attracted to him put his fear to rest. Their love went further than physical features and they both knew that, but it was important that they were physically attracted to each other. (Y/n) averted her gaze slightly while her boyfriend lowered his ears slightly, both of them feeling a bit awkward around each other. To make their situation at least a little less awkward Sniv had an idea, a really cute idea that (Y/n) wouldn't be able to resist. He delicately scooped up some of the sweet scented bubbles with both of his hands, leaned forward and carefully put them on top of (Y/n's) head, causing her to look at him.

“What was that for?” (Y/n) asked Sniv, unable to resist beaming at him; the gesture was undeniably cute and she loved that her boyfriend was capable of doing something so adorable, she couldn't help but internally die from cuteness overload.

“I did that because you're cute.” Sniv responded with a huge grin, his ears perking back up again.

“Well that's not fair, I think that you should have a bubble hat, too.” (Y/n) pouted cutely, wishing to put some bubbles on her significant other's head just like he'd done with hers.

“Well then, what are you waiting for? Bubble me.” Sniv replied humorously when he bent down and presented the top of his head to her.

(Y/n) had to move so that she could sit on her knees in the bath, then she scooped up some bubbles with both of her hands prior to gently placing them on top of her boyfriend's poofy fur atop his head, although some of the bubbles fell after he sat up straight again. She giggled when she saw a few bubbles slip down the sides of Sniv's face, a few of them popping on their way back down to the water. (Y/n) wanted a kiss while she was so close to her boyfriend; she really meant to put her hand on one of his thighs to help steady herself, but she couldn't find either one of them and accidentally put her hand somewhere else, somewhere that she'd never touched before. Sniv's body went rigid when he felt her hand come into contact with his once partially exposed-
