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 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)

	[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.

[Hums softly-- fighting back against the urge to protest. NO, YOU ARE PERFECT AND YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PERFECT.]

[Instead, he runs his hand down his back, gently, tracing his fingers over his spine.]

You know I've never seen you that way. And I never will. [...] Everybody's a little messed up, anyway. The ways we're both messed up kinda works together, though.

[And he knows you'd say he isn't messed up, but, well... sob, how little you know, tiny bab.]

[Of all things, that's what makes him smile a little in the end, even with some of the self-deprecation lingering.]

Yeah. You always... I know. [Older Keith would also disagree with that about u tho so tough luck, buddy. He quietly observes Shiro's expression now, letting himself feel the comfort the hand on his back offers -- relaxing with some sort of relief after a moment.]

You think that? [They work like this together?]

	[Nods, his own smile faint but no less heartfelt. When Keith relaxes, he finds himself relaxing a bit, too-- maybe relieved, as well.] Of course I do, Keith. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-01-28 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	[He's glad in a way he doesn't even feel equipped to express or even let himself fully feel. That's not new with Shiro, really - it's why Keith can accept the words even though he's not sure how it's possible. So he nods, holding on to what he can of the certainty Shiro gives him, voice lighter with a thread of affection he can't help.] Guess you would. [God.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-29 02:07 am UTC (link)
	[He hears that lightness in his tone-- knows it isn't easy for him, but accepts that for what it is. His smile is gentle, all the same, and he tugs him down close, hugging him.] We've always made a good team. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-01-29 06:20 am UTC (link)
	[Hugs him back, resting on him into the hug, a soft laugh at that. Wow.] [... It really seems like a dream.] We have, huh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-29 06:32 am UTC (link)
	[Squeezes him a little and huffs out a little breath into his hair as he holds him close.] Yeah. And we always will be. [Hey, he has first hand experience now about what it's like to be fighting AGAINST you instead of with you. -1000/10, would not recommend.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-01-29 09:25 am UTC (link)
	Okay. [He's nodding, face pressing into Shiro's shoulder, not as much shaky now but still feeling so much too. Always?] I-- Yeah. Good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Hums a little and nods, ducking his head to nuzzle into his hair again, keeping him close.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-01-30 05:16 am UTC (link)
	[It's a moment of not quite hesitating but a tiny pause before he nuzzles back, a small upward brush of his head, his forehead into him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-30 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	[Lets out a little breath-- surprise and relief, maybe, that he can maybe be comfortable enough to respond. He runs his hand gently over his back, encouraging but also for the sake of holding him, touching him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-01-30 05:52 pm UTC (link)
	[He shivers under the touch, far from in a bad way, just closing his eyes while keeps his arms around him and lies against him, only this time without an intention of falling asleep -- wanting to be this close and know it properly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-01-30 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	[He wonders, for a moment, if he's going to fall asleep like that-- but he's content to keep holding him, tracing his fingers up and down his spine absently, soothing.] ... Comfortable? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-02-04 10:14 pm UTC (link)
	[Makes a muffled sound in the affirmative, halfway to a "yeah", until he does then turn his head from Shiro's shoulder. Looks over to him, almost just for the sake of looking at him.] [... Hrmm >_>] You're comfortable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-02-05 04:02 am UTC (link)
	[Meets his eyes with a small smile, warm and gentle.] I'm going to take that as a compliment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needspatience 2019-02-05 09:11 am UTC (link)
	[It honestly probably is too much, even just looking directly at that warm expression of his, but Keith can't ever fully look away either, at least not right away. Really is his greatest weakness and he can't care as much as he maybe thinks he should.] Not like I'd be saying it as a diss. [Ha.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2019-02-05 05:34 pm UTC (link)
	[Laughs.] True. It'd be a pretty lame insult... and you can be pretty scathing when you want to be. [♥] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[=A= Maybe. Sometimes. (Yes.)] When someone's asking for it. [Or........ when he doesn't realize he's dishing a burn in the first place, rip.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Laughs again, softer.] Exactly why I never want to be on your bad side. [Hehe.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
