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.]

	[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)

	[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)

	[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)

[Watches him for a moment, too, meeting his eyes and then studying him again even once Keith closes his eyes. Just... taking him in for a moment, maybe still touched at that implicit trust Keith always has in him.]

Okay. [Shifts his hand, tugging him in a little closer to meet him.] Tell me-- if it's too much.

[If you want to stop. He knows the likelihood is slim, since you are stubborn, but he's still going to say it. Brushes his fingers through his hair once and then leans in, kissing him-- barely any pressure behind it, just a gentle press of his mouth to his.]

[However much he might've already thought about it, or whatever he thought he could expect when he closed his eyes, none of it really prepares him for the real thing. His breath hitches and despite everything, his brain kind of fizzles out on the spot as a tremble runs through him. Oh. That's what that's like, huh? Asdflksdj GOOD BYE WORLD.]

[Somehow he manages to keep his eyes closed and while he doesn't - can't - think to move right away through his reaction... he does scramble up a response before Shiro draws back, halting and awkward but all the same a press of his lips back against his. It's - crazy how much this feels both entirely out of the realm of reality but also suddenly all too real at once. Wow.]

	[His heart has maybe exploded because you're sweet and cute, damn it. But also, he really doesn't want to overwhelm him and he knows this is a lot, which is why he keeps the kiss short and brief-- drawing away soon enough, watching his face carefully to gauge his reaction.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-01-08 05:07 am UTC (link)
	[His entire face is warm and it takes him a moment to remember to open his eyes again, but when he does he looks back at Shiro, not shaken just. Hi.] I... Ah. [ASdflfh ♥ Anyway, have some dumb heart eyes.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-08 05:16 am UTC (link)
	[God. You're so cute. He watches him with a fond expression, waiting for Keith to open his eyes before he smiles at him, gently. Hi.] ... I love you, Keith. Every version of you. [Even if you aren't the one he's "with," like you said.] I'm always going to love you. Okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It's kind of... helpless, when eventually his gaping kind of turns into a smile too, tentative but there all the same. He trembles, the feeling all near inexplicable, so much lighter, when Shiro's words just. Well, he always knows what to say to get through Keith's insecurities.]

[So he nods, just a little.] Yeah. Okay. I, um - [... It feels crazy to be able to say it at all, even more so to Shiro, and yet.] I love you, too.

	[Beams, in any case, entirely too fond as he smiles at him. Instead of responding, he just shifts his hand out of his hair, brushing over his jaw before cupping his cheek and leaning in to kiss him again, still just as lightly, barely a brush of his mouth against his.] Yeah. [♥] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He is still very Not Prepared this time too, tbh, with all the internal alsdjflsdjfd to match but also with the benefit of a quicker response time as he holds Shiro's wrist to keep his hand close and closes his eyes to try matching that soft brush of his lips with his own, if more eagerly because, well, you know him. He's learning the patience lesson still.]

Shiro.

[This time, when he repeats his words close to Shiro's lips, just for good measure, there's an emphasis to it that's much less tentative and halting than it's been so far.] I really... I love you.

[Smiles a little, brushing his thumb over his cheek absently-- not moving to pull away from him and letting Keith hold him there. Still, after a moment, he does lean back-- but draws Keith with him, lying out on the couch and pulling him closer over him. ]

... I love you, too, baby. [Brushes his nose against his and then kisses him again, just a quick peck.] So much. You have no idea.

	[It's funny how he could be used to flopping around with him in some sense (spoilers: he really wasn't that chill about it) and still now manages to go entirely red from the quick little brushes of his affection. He's far from shying from it though, moving with him, sighing out a little.] Oh. [♥ He's getting some of that idea.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-08 07:14 am UTC (link)
	[Smiles up at him, completely fond and completely endeared. Sigh. He loves you so much.] Yeah, 'oh'. [plz.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-01-08 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	[Smiles again too, even if it feels entirely dopey and silly sldkfjlsdjf. Plz back at you.] Shut up... [He loves you so much too, it's kind of bowling him over.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-08 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	[He laughs, softly, and brushes some hair away from his face, as usual.] That's not a very nice thing to say. [hehe ♥] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-01-15 04:09 am UTC (link)
	[It makes him laugh too this time, lighter, but no less warm in the face, so you know.] Told you that already. [He's not nice!11 Mumbles after, though, a softer tone in what lingers of his laugh.] Like I was gonna guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-15 05:42 am UTC (link)
	[You're very nice and very sweet and he loves you sfm.] Right. [Leans in close again, pressing a kiss to his cheek, light and lingering.] I'll say it as many times as you need. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-01-15 06:23 am UTC (link)
	[STOP he'll die if you do. (Never stop.)] I'm. Uh. [Nods, just a little, gazing at his face where Shiro lingers. Hi.] Right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-15 06:28 am UTC (link)
	[Hi.] [Smiles at him again once their eyes meet, gently, staying close to him.] I love you. [He would honestly say it nonstop if necessary, but he also knows it's. a lot. and much as Keith blushing is cute, he doesn't want to overwhelm him to the point of breakdown or withdrawal.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-01-15 05:34 pm UTC (link)
	[He meets Shiro's gaze back no matter what, something turning softer in his own expression too, even if there's a moment where his eyes flick down, just for a second. An internal swirl of uncertainty in his gut that he can't control so well, but - tries to.] Shiro... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-16 02:02 am UTC (link)
	[He sees that moment, and understands why it is. It's okay... he does, after all, know how to be patient.] I know it's not easy for you to see yourself as worth that right now. But... you've always been, Keith. You always will be. How I feel about you-- it's been here for a long time and it's not about to change. You're it for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm.

[Too easily, his eyes waver again, something both so reassuring and amazing about the words and yet - it's only with stubbornness that he pushes past showing the self-doubt on his face more, much as his voice betrays him, hair falling a little into his eyes.] Why would it be... I just-

[Of all people, him? But then - you keep saying why. Keith shakes his head, letting out a breath, speaking in a weak attempt at dry jest only because it's the only mechanism he can manage aside from the usual option of getting overwhelmed.]

Kind of hard to think I get that much less messed up in the future.
