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.]

	[Squeezes him tight, ducking his head to nose into his hair, smiling a little, if pained. He knows. He knows so much more than you know. He nuzzles into his hair with a soft sigh.] It's hardly being "stuck" with you when you're the best thing in my life, Keith. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Wh--] Shiro... [God you can't say that. It's gonna kill him. He shakes, hugging him tightly too, pressing into him. He truly does not even dream the extent of what he means.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Rubs his back, gently, before tightening his hold on him in turn. All the clinging.] It's okay. [He can feel him trembling and, of course, all he wants to do is reassure him, to keep him close like this and never let him go-- for him to understand. Keith...] It's okay. I've got you.

[Shakes his head, though far from letting go or drawing back or anything. He's fine. Really. It's--]

[It can't be him. Keith thinks he knows this. It's what he keeps telling himself and the thought that pushes in first now. It can't really be him, but when it's Shiro saying it...]

I know. I- You got me too. [Well. That's the important thing here.] Doesn't matter what.

	[He lets out an agreeing hum, quietly, and holds him close. He knows these types of discussions aren't easy for him-- knows it's hard for Keith to believe it all. But that's okay; he can believe it for the both of them, until Keith can see it for himself.] I know, Keith. [He never doubts that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2018-12-19 04:53 pm UTC (link)
	Good. [That you know it. Good that it's the truth. He says quietly, braver than he feels, but trusting him for what he can't be certain of. He's still going to be in Shiro's life, even years later, he's important to him, and that's what matters above all else.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Goes back to playing with his hair, brushing his fingers through it slowly, carefully, letting his touch linger.] Yeah, it is. [Very good. u_u he loves you, dummy.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2018-12-19 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	Mmm. [He's a baby dummy. His head is kind of tucked away part into the crook of Shiro's neck by now, though tipping back towards his hand at the touch just so.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2018-12-19 05:48 pm UTC (link)
	[Smiles a little, nosing into his hair with a small sigh, nuzzling absently and cuddling up to him. Hay bb, he's got you.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2018-12-19 06:04 pm UTC (link)
	[You really do, huh? Cuddles are nice - the closeness just on the verge of overwhelming even for them, but also not something he wants to stop or question, comfortable when all is said. It's good. He sighs too and curls up against him, Shiro's presence steady and comforting.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2018-12-19 06:08 pm UTC (link)
	[He seems perfectly content to stay like that, too, just holding him to him and brushing his fingers through his hair, not seeming to mind at all how close Keith is. In fact, if anything, once Keith seems to settle, he relaxes in turn, sighing in response to Keith's own sigh.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2018-12-19 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	[He's definitely aware of it when Shiro relaxes further, his own eyes not quite closed but lowered and drifting over what he can see of him like this, one hand kind of straying from around his neck to his shoulder, pressing his palm lightly through the fabric of the sweater that rolled down again, just to rest there.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2018-12-19 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	[Takes a deep breath, not quite arching into the touch but seeming relaxed by it. His hand in his hair shifts again from the gentle, absent petting to more purposeful, resuming that circling motion with his thumb, just for the sake of touching him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It's like that breath Shiro takes completely rolls over him, in a way that leaves Keith winded in turn, close to holding his breath altogether for a moment, until it finally becomes a stunted exhale -- and a small sound that's definitely too embarrassing to let himself think about. The press of his thumb, the fingers in his hair are far more distracting anyway. He focuses his gaze somewhere toward Shiro's shoulder, to where his own hand landed, and presses a little more too, curls his fingers over his shoulder as if to hold onto to him.]

	[He makes a soft sound in turn, still sensitive enough to any form of touch, especially Keith's. It's nothing more than a little sigh, really, but he relaxes beneath Keith's touch all the same, the movement of his own hand not pausing for a moment.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2018-12-23 07:05 am UTC (link)
	[He can't really explain it to himself, but something feels like relief the more Shiro relaxes, wanting that for him, distantly attuned to the thought that contact seems to help in that, so that slowly his hand moves across the line of his shoulder, something both absent and deliberate about the touch.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2018-12-23 07:08 am UTC (link)
	[And the more Keith does that, the more he does seem to relax beneath him-- breathing out a soft, pleased sound as he plays with his hair, just as deliberate and seemingly absentminded. Just touching him to keep touching him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2018-12-23 07:17 am UTC (link)
	[Eventually he can't quite help but close his eyes, maybe just feeling satisfied enough and relaxing more too right along with him, matching his pace even when he's not thinking about it much. He's not full on the edge of letting himself drift off this way, but it's certainly a close thing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2018-12-23 07:19 am UTC (link)
	[He's definitely halfway to drifting, the movement of his hand through his hair slowing more and more until he's just resting his hand there, cupping the back of his head, his breathing deepening and evening out.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He keeps his eyes closed and finds himself focused on listening to the way his breathing evens out, again letting the depth of the breaths he takes roll through him, hanging on just so he can hear it and feel it fully. He gives small, but encouraging presses from his fingertips where he touches Shiro even through all the fabric. It's comfortable, warmer just from staying tucked against him like this than anything else could be, and maybe he's just being stubborn in the end to let himself stay awake even a moment longer if it would make the feeling of this last.]

[He drops off into a shallow sleep-- he's never going to be a deep sleeper, even if relaxed now-- and after a moment shifts just enough to pull Keith in closer, murmuring something like his name without realizing he's doing so. The hand touching his hair drops, settling at his back and staying there, holding him pressed to him. Even if Keith wanted to get away, he couldn't.]

[He doesn't miss the way that murmur sounds at all, even if for a moment he wonders if he's mishearing, but before he has a chance to overthink that, the gentle shift of being pulled in closer to Shiro, of his hand settled at his back, leaves him totally breathless again, a little gutted in a way he can't say he minds. It's even kind of normal for how Shiro makes him feel. His face ends up tucked more at Shiro's neck, feeling the rise and fall of his chest right against his own and even though his heart thunders, it's easy to settle into it, to hold Shiro while he sleeps once he knows he's dropped off, skimming more and more in that direction himself until sleep wins out in the end for Keith too.]

	[He's used to holding Keith close as they sleep, and so it's instinctual when, as Keith settles against him, he cuddles up to him-- responding to having him there with him, as always, his arm curled around him and nuzzling sleepily into his hair. He sleeps for a little while, but is also quick to stir with any change in breathing or shift between them.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It's almost too easy to fall asleep entirely once he ends up like that, maybe more so thanks to the cuddles, the comfort of it that pulls and soothes him into a deeper sleep, even as Shiro might stir when Keith eventually makes comfortable snoring noises and shifts on him just for that closeness - seeking him out always, whether conscious of it or not.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[When he's aware of himself enough to hear Keith, his heart twists up a little in his chest. asdlasd; tiniest baby, he loves you so intensely. He doesn't dare move, not wanting to disturb him, and with some effort manages to grab a blanket off the end of the couch to drape it over Keith, keeping him cuddled up close but making sure he's comfortable and warm. BABY... ♥]
