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.]

[Not in this life, not about this... is how he was used to operating before, but clearly that now needs re-evaluating. Still, he looks at Shiro a moment longer, then gives a small smile - and puts on hand on the center of Shiro's face, pushing down, gently in the end though the gesture feigns shoving him away.]

Shut up... [Fond, of course, kinda laughing and without any heat to it. SIGH.]

	[He laughs, too, and melodramatically flops back with the feigned shove. Oh no, too powerful, too strong!!1 splays back onto the couch, grinning up at him.] Knocking me down, telling me to shut up... how awful. [The worst!!1 so mean!!!!!!!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Asdflkjd you're being so extra but he can't help but grin back when Shiro does, and rather than overthink it, he lets himself flop back down too, resting over him again.] Thought you said you could handle it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-02 05:55 pm UTC (link)
	Clearly I was wrong. [Wrapping his arm around him again and trapping him there. Ha!!1 no escape.] I'll never recover now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Groans, but he's curling more into the hold of his arm than away from it, even as he ducks his head and just... smiles a little to himself. Ffff.] Whiner. [... ♥] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-03 05:16 am UTC (link)
	Maybe. Luckily you're willing to put up with my whining. [Rubs his back with a warm smile, and ducks down enough to nuzzle into his hair again, since he's there. Hay bb.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-01-03 05:44 am UTC (link)
	Maybe. [He shivers a tiny bit under his hand and again at the gestures of affection, despite himself, forever just cause it's you. But then it's not quite a hesitation, just a moment where he stills very briefly, before he tips his head a little to nudge back at him, his forehead brushing just under his jaw. Hi.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-03 05:57 am UTC (link)
	[Hi. He'll likely feel his smile since once he does that, he's tipping his head forward a bit to kiss his forehead, not even really thinking about it, responding to that returned affection.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-01-03 06:17 am UTC (link)
	[Oh, cool he's actually gonna die. There's a small sound he can't help, feeling it more than really knowing how much his face warms up, but also - not ducking his head again either. He just - closes his eyes.] [... ffffff.] Shiro. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Settles his hand between his shoulders, touch gentle.] [--Ah.] ... Was that okay? I can stop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-01-03 06:34 am UTC (link)
	[Opens his eyes again to look up at him, nodding quickly, something like wonder again in his eyes more than any sort of discomfort. Just - wow.] It's - really okay. [You don't even know.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-03 06:36 am UTC (link)
	[S- smiles a little. God, you're so cute.] Yeah? [Lifts his hand off his back to brush the hair away from his face, absently.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-01-03 07:02 am UTC (link)
	[Not cute. He's a mess. Send help.] [Y-] Yeah. [He says just barely biting back an obligatory duh but... honestly, duh, buddy. He can't help but lean a little into the touch even like this.] [.... God.] We're really gonna be... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-03 07:05 am UTC (link)
	[He can sense the duh even if he doesn't say it. He really shouldn't be surprised and yet... okay. You're clearly not as skittish as he was fearing.] [He lets his touch linger, brushing back his hair and tracing his fingertips along his jaw.] Yeah, baby. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-01-03 07:26 am UTC (link)
	[Definitely not, especially when Shiro says that, sounds like that, something flickering over Keith's eyes in turn that's almost too intense for his face yet so very him at the same time. He shifts up, not away but almost to hover closer, still against him, looking right at him now.] You - [.....] You love me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-03 07:30 am UTC (link)
	[Nods, smiling gently.] I do, Keith. So much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[For a second the feeling of wanting to question or argue it tries to surge back up but. It's that gentleness on his face that makes any tension that threatened to wind up into Keith's shoulders relax just as soon, at least enough.]

Shiro... I-- [He doesn't know how to say it, suddenly feeling both brave and unsure at once, which in Keith-land means.......... he just fucking goes for it, as straightforward as he can manage.] It's the opposite, you know. I don't wanna stop.

	[Looks genuinely surprised for a moment, blinking at him.] What do-- [you mean, he almost asks. But, well. It's clear what he means, isn't it? Don't mind him as his cheeks turn a little pink.] Keith. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He very much goes red and does advert his gaze, but not without keeping his stubborn decided set in his shoulders. He's not taking it back.]

Look, I'm not... I know it's not exactly me you're -- with. [And if that doesn't short-circuit his brain mid-sentence just trying to say aloud. It's maybe a bad habit to go a bit on the defensive at this stage for him, but still.] It's not to be weird or dumb, or anything.

I just - meant it. [What he said before and just now, both. That he likes you too. That he's very much the opposite in minding any of this.]

[... Ah. Blushes a bit, but. Pauses and clears his throat, then lifts his hand to brush the hair away from his face again, gently, more for a chance to touch his jaw gently and guide his face to look back at him.]

[His smile is teasing, tentative and most self-deprecating.] You sure it doesn't bother you? I really am an old timer now.

[In comparison to you, at least.]

	[Does look up at that, a flicker of a moment where his eyes widen, but then go serious again. He's nodding, entirely sure.] Just 'cause your hair's white now doesn't mean you got ancient. [And... well, then he can't help a small shrug, cause honestly.] I didn't care about that in the first place, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Laughs quietly.]

No, I guess you never have. [It's not like he particularly cares about any of that, either, but... well.]

Hey... Thank you, Keith. For feeling that way. [For liking him, despite it all. For wanting to be here.] It's...

[Brushes his hand back through his hair one last time, cupping the back of his neck and tilting his head, watching him, then taking a breath.]

I'm lucky.

	[He easily follows to the way Shiro's hand shifts, watching him in turn, feeling a little breathless, inevitably heart skip-y just from the words and hovering close. That's also not new, though.] Shiro... [Ffff stop.] You don't have to thank me for that. I'm- So am I. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-07 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	[Rubs his thumb at the spot behind his ear in a small circle, absently.] Right. [Hesitates for a moment, then shifts a little and moves closer towards him.] Keith. Close your eyes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-01-07 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	[There's only a brief moment that Keith simply looks at him, not with doubt or questioning, just almost for the sake of it, with a kind of wonder that perhaps can't be helped. Then he gives a small but certain nod, and his eyes slip closed.] Okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
