open 🌸 early evening, everywhere
[With temperatures slowly dropping and days turning into night at earlier and earlier hours, it's probably not a surprise when more signs of winter start to manifest in the coming days, not quite fully there but close. Traces of ice that aren't quite snow, chilly winds, and overcast days. Definitely a shift from the sunny opportunities of magical dates and the like.

With all that, of course, there's the need for those warmer clothes to keep the cold at bay, and likewise an increase chance of finding them among the shops and bazaar. Thicker, warmer coats to put on, mittens and hats, supplies to help with the ice, or maybe you're just looking to restock on hot-cocoa for home. Today certainly seems like one of those days for it.

It's not so bad that braving the outside is out of the question, either, of course - if you like this sort of weather, it might even make for a nice walk, with the right attire and maybe a hand to hold to keep warm. For those that might prefer staying in, huddling up instead... it's a perfect excuse too.]

	[He's laughing, unreasonably amused by his reactions and his laughter in turn. He does eventually take pity on him, though, if only so he can reach out and curl his arm around him and haul him back up on the couch before he falls off entirely.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He's like 1000% pouting as soon as he stops, though it smooths over quite a bit with Shiro's arm around him pulling him up, the indignant huff soft. Hmph.] Not funny... [Ur so rude.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He moves almost half wrangling himself in the hold of his arm but it's mostly so he can angle another light elbow jab at him.] Maybe just sometimes. [>_>] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Damn it, you're cute and pretty and he doesn't know how to handle it. He lets him elbow him and lets out a quiet 'oof' in response, then tightens his hold on him and flops backward, dragging him with him so they're both sprawled out on the couch, Keith half on top of him. Cuddle time, or something. This is what bros being bros do.]

Only sometimes? That's not very nice.

	[It's not the first time they've flopped around as bros do for Keith either, of course, but still for a moment takes him off guard almost, before he settles on him, relaxing against him somewhat even as he wrinkles his nose.] We already know I'm not that nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2018-12-17 08:05 am UTC (link)
	[All the bro cuddles for them. Hums thoughtfully, keeping his arm curled around him but shifting his hand up to play with his hair absently.] You're nice to me. Usually. [Much more than you like to pretend, he knows.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2018-12-17 08:08 am UTC (link)
	[... H- Hm. Looks up at him a little bit, then drops his head carefully on his shoulder as he hides a small smile and kinda shrugs.] I guess, yeah. [♥ You're kinda a special case.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Smiles at him when he glances up and shifts a little beneath him so he'll be more comfortable lying against him, his movements slow and lazy as he plays with his hair, curling and uncurling his fingers.] Lucky me. [He knows he's special.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Breathes a small sigh, almost an "oh", the more Shiro's fingers run through his hair, shifting to settle less tentatively too, more comfortable. It's... so nice, but it's also making his stupid heart beat a million miles a minute. But. He's fine. It's chill.]

[The breath turns into a little laugh after a moment.] Ha, yep... real lucky. [He's pretty convinced that's just his line here.]

	[Hums out, smiling to himself as Keith shifts and settles, wishing he could wrap his other arm around him and keep him there. But, well. Alas. He tugs gently, playfully, on his hair all the same, smiling down at him.] Hey, I mean it. [He's not just saying it.] I'm really lucky. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Can't imagine why really, but it's a thought that, however much it always lingers with him, he doesn't want to put on Shiro, doesn't want to shove at the nice things he says too hard, the way he's always tried to with everything else in the past. It's an odd feeling. He's not always good at it.]

[So instead he's just quiet a few moments, resting on him, the smile lingering in his tone a little.] ... Yeah?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2018-12-17 08:34 am UTC (link)
	Yes. [He says it easily, without hesitation, but his tone soft. He knows this isn't easy for Keith, knows that it's still something he struggles with. But it's no less felt on his part. His hand in Keith's hair shifts, pressing closer so he can rub slow circles with his thumb over his scalp.] My life is better for having met you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2018-12-17 08:39 am UTC (link)
	[He's not sure what he really expected, both on the front of contact and the way he says these words but... either way it leaves him kind of gutted for air a little bit, going still a moment before it turns into a small tremble.] Oh. [Oh, 'kay ;_; ♥] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[B- baby... his reaction to these sorts of things are always going to make his heart squeeze a little, if only because. damn it, people should have been telling you that since the beginning.]

Yeah, Keith. [Tucks a piece of his hair behind his ear again, his touch lingering, then shifting to knead the back of his neck, his touch light.] And I'm always going to believe that.

[The touch this time makes him close his eyes, a shaky breath drawn out by it, hitched softly. Light as it is, he has to try not to tremble more, bites back a sound. He's not so much surprised this time as a little overwhelmed, all the different emotions that he can't control in either direction making conflict curl around inside him.]

[...........]

I don't get it. I should be the one saying that. [It eventually comes out as a small grumble, trying to seem casual or not a big deal, and not like he wants to fight about it. If he's ever verbalized this, at most it was with Shiro in the long nights when they'd hang out together past lights out, whenever things got quieter enough that they'd admit things no one else has ever heard them say. And maybe it's like that now, for Keith, a quiet admission in a space that's both familiar and entirely unknown.]

My life wasn't exactly much of anything before. ["I wasn't" is the feeling he keeps inside even still.]

[It's things like this that break his heart, of course-- it did back then, too, but now it's so much worse, somehow compounded in his chest as he looks at him, quiet as he speaks and not wanting to interrupt even as he wants to banish that way of thinking forever.]

[...] [He strokes his hand through his hair and down over his neck and back, soothing, but also keeping him close-- protectively, even against these thoughts.]

I know it hasn't been easy for you, Keith. But look at you. You're still trying. You haven't given up. [His hand returns to his hair, gently stroking for a moment before cupping his head and guiding him up to look at him, smiling at him.]

You can say you're better for having met me, too, but that doesn't change the fact that you've done more for me than you'll ever know. And I'm always going to be grateful for that, that we got to meet.

[Likely the most blatantly he's said it-- before, he might have cushioned it with humor or the like, but he's nothing but earnest now as he looks at him, his expression fond even as he understands that, likely, he's overwhelming the poor guy far too much. But he means it.]

You're so important to me.

[Despite everything, when Shiro guides his face up, Keith doesn't resist it, so the first thing he probably sees are his eyes looking up at him so much wider, not quite tearful but almost like that, brimming with feeling instead. Even more so at the way he's looking at him, smiling at him. It's so much.]

Shiro...

[He doesn't know what to say. It's one thing to be aware he matters to someone, to know Shiro cares about him, but it's still not something he's ever been used to hearing or believing fully yet.]
