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 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)

	[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)

	[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)

	[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)

	[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)

	[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... ♥]

[He doesn't so much fuss or seem to disturbed by the movements and instead just kinda nuzzles in closer, face pressed in. Maybe the noise he makes at first is close to a grumble for a moment, but it turns more settled again soon after, a prolonged sound much like the softness of his snores. It's not a purr. Shut up. He ruins it himself by the occasionally less-than-dignified snort between breaths, but, hey, you know.]

[He might have heard this once or twice while sleeping in their bed, but hearing it from this Keith, too, is enough to make him feel overwhelmed, endeared in a way he can't explain beyond an unyielding love for him. The snorts, too, are enough to make him want to laugh-- but he restrains himself, staying still enough to let Keith sleep, knowing he can always use that rest, and not wanting for him to wake up and feel self-conscious for this.

His hand strokes idly up his back, his movements slow and absent, comforting but hopefully not disturbing that sleep. Rest, baby, he's got you.

Each time Keith nuzzles in closer, at least, he's there to meet him, nosing into his hair with a small smile, just holding him to him.]

[He'll be out for at least a while like that, not the longest nap ever as it was something he got lulled into before he knew it more than sleep from tiredness, but at least for now... the touch is simply a continued comfort, adding to how easy it is to stay asleep in those moment, easy and almost lazy.

There's no particular reason for it when he finally starts to stir again, one of the noises he makes a little more deliberate, questioning, eyes still kinda half closed when he tries to lift his head, not yet aware of himself enough beyond the default question that comes only because he instinctively recognizes the close presence of him still around him.]

Shiro?

He's relaxed enough, even though awake-- he's used to being awake before Keith and waiting for him to wake up, after all, not so much lost in his thoughts as focusing on brushing his fingers along his back, listening to the sounds he makes, feeling the way Keith shifts against him.

It's because he's so relaxed, because this feels so familiar, that he just lets out a content hum in response, his words mindless as he answers:] Mmm... Hey, baby.

[He was out of it enough to at least initially bypass what would have been an inevitable wave of self-consciousness upon waking up, just as Shiro'd worried... and now, before he really has any opportunity to hit that mark, his brain is stuttering to a halt instead, the reaction delayed and slowed down by sleepiness but also obvious in that he can't mask the way he goes very still. His eyes are fully open and wide now.]

[Was it possible for something to get burned into his mind just from hearing Shiro say it? Apparently it is now. Baby--?]

I. [He's pretty sure he tries to ask or say something and it just comes out as a disoriented nonsense sound.]

[His brain catches up with him a moment later, even more so because he, of course, feels Keith tense up and hears that reaction. Oh no.]

Oh-- [oops.]

[He doesn't take it back, though-- could easily just dismiss it as meaning 'buddy' over 'baby', but, well, he's hardly going to lie to him.]

Sorry-- [Sitting up just a bit, trying to get a look at him.] I didn't mean to just drop that on you.

[Not really processing anything straight, he scrambles a little in sitting up too, knows his face is red and hoping that all his messy hair in front of it hides it enough.]

No, uh. It's -- [Kind of wheezes more than speaks, but damn it he tries. Clearly Keith shouldn't have been... whatever it was that he was doing to make Shiro obviously say that by accident, right? Even as he thinks that, the other part of his brain is catching up too, definitely doesn't miss how he doesn't take it back, and it's confusing.]

Sorry? [He says anyway, tries to rub at his eyes, though it mostly ends up as just shoving an entire loose sleeve into his groggy face. He might as well.] Um.

[Sits up a little more, keeping him there, all the same. He flounders a little, unsure what to do or say to reassure him-- doesn't want him to feel this uncertain when he just woke up on top of that.]

Keith...

[He pulls the blanket back up to drape over his shoulders, for something to do, and takes him gently by the wrist when he rubs at his face, rolling that sleeve back down for him. His own hand isn't shaking, but, well, it's an almost thing.]

I-- I'm sorry. I've made you uncomfortable, haven't I?

[Shakes his head, finally lifting his eyes enough to look at Shiro, a touch stubbornly despite his own confusion, and feeling like he should probably back up by now but. Well.]

Shiro. Shut up. I said you don't. [There's a a trace of care to the words, softer despite the blunt shape of them that he can't help, just because it's him. It's never that you could make him uneasy, and maybe that's the whole problem.] Stuff - happens. [Keith, no.]

Sorry I just fell asleep like that.

[He can't help the tiniest smile at those blunt words, buffered with care though they may be. It's such a Keith answer and... well. It's sweet. His assumption, though, makes his smile fade-- stuff happens? Sure. But not in this case.]

[He lets out a long sigh, looking uncertain for a moment. He didn't want to overwhelm Keith-- feels he's already done that enough, and yet. He also can't stomach the idea of Keith misunderstanding this, when they spent so long in general misunderstanding their feelings for each other.]

Keith. Baby. [He puts emphasis on it, pointedly, looking at him.] You have nothing to apologize for.
