open 🌸 all week
[It’s been over a week since the storm started and, somehow, it hasn’t stopped. It hasn’t abated. Perhaps it’s held steady, slow in its steady increase of power and destruction. That rippling of thunder throughout the day, the flash of lightning, the onslaught of rain— maybe it’s becoming background noise.

Or maybe you’re concerned. After all, there can only be so much rain before things become difficult to navigate. There’s that insistent dripping in the underground tunnels, growing steadily as the week progresses. The river and lake looks so full, the ocean so turbulent. The skies are an endless stretch of dark clouds.

Until one day, the storm gets even worse, so much worse than you thought it could possibly become. The ocean, the river, the lake, it all slowly starts to rise and overflow, flooding the surrounding areas more and more every second. The tunnels are filling up, flooding into the common rooms and quickly submerging them. The water rises and rises and rises— until even your home is getting flooded. Grab what you can, because once it starts, it happens quickly— everything on the islands are flooding, submerging beneath the water.



The water level will continue to rise until the buildings, forests, even a huge chunk of the mountain is submerged. The trees will seem to expand underwater, making makeshift bridges from tangled growth of branches, surprisingly sturdy. The regular places to go are gone, but the tops of the trees poking defiantly out of the water now have treehouses to stay in.

Food will be available in the varied amount of fish and other animals to be caught in the water. For those who frequent the river or beach, it'll be clear there's a much higher amount of them, of all sorts of colors and sizes. One thing that doesn't change is the rising danger the closer one gets to the area of the forests, and deeper waters may hold even more frightening enemies, even monsters. More rare fish and other creatures live around these areas, as well. Careful where you fish. For those that can get around, there are a few islands here and there. They’re a smattering around the island, barely enough room to stand and be comfortable on, but holding little magical parcels of basic supplies— blankets, drinkable water, some food. These are rare, and the message is clear: You'll need to survive. You'll need to help each other.

Once everything settles, the storm, finally, starts to die down. It’ll continue raining well through the afternoon, but eventually the clouds will roll away and the ocean will settle.

Well… hope you’re okay with swimming.]

[It doesn't slip by him, the tone that Shiro responds with, how he turns the words back on him, like it's for Keith's sake. He wants to tell him in no uncertain terms, even through his own doubts.]

[He lifts the same hand as earlier again to touch Shiro's arm this time, a steady grip there like he's trying to convey something from the touch alone.] Not for me, if that's what it seemed like. I just...

Think I'd do anything if it meant you could be happy. [It's a quiet admission, looking up at him, even then it's not quite what he'd like to say but it's still the truth. He's got all the wrong ideas about why Shiro might not be able to talk to Keith about it, but well, when doesn't he.]

[Looks vaguely surprised at first at the clarification, and then his expression quickly morphs into something much quieter. He lifts a hand to cover Keith's, tentatively.]

Keith... Do you think I'm not happy?

[Keith's own expression softens a little, maybe knowing or at least a little quieter too. You know.]

Are you? [It's not a question he thinks will get a full answer, something he knows is too loaded, that he says softly without any of that expectation, murmuring after.] Look, I still would. Even while the fight isn't over yet, I want that for you, Shiro.

[Please don't turn this on him, he can't. He's a hypocrite because he won't let himself have what he wants either, Keith knows. He gives Shiro an unintentionally distant, serious kind of smile, a little nod in turn, even then helplessly fond.][.........]

If I...

[Shakes his head a little, thinking better of whatever he was about to say for that moment.] I know we both think the same in that sense. I'm as sure of it as you are for me.

[He focuses, instead, on how distant that smile feels-- notices it only because he's not used to that sort of look from Keith, even if there's fondness there. He looks down, breathing out, managing a small nod, too.]

Yeah.

[But that's just it-- getting what he wants means not what's best for Keith. Even if Keith were to return his feelings, well-- he deserves something better than what Shiro can give him. And going for what he wants, in this case-- it would only make Keith unhappy, either way; either he returns his feelings and Shiro messes it all up or he doesn't return his feelings and Shiro puts Keith in an uncomfortable position as his friend. Either way, it's-- not something he can actively seek out.]

Keith... I'm not unhappy. [To actually answer your question. It isn't so simplistic as whether he's always happy or always unhappy, and he knows Keith knows that. But he's still going to clarify.] I'm a Paladin. I have a purpose. I'm alive. I have our friends. [...] You. I can't be fully unhappy if that's the case.

Mmm. I'm glad that those things, that - all of us can at least help in that. I know how important it is.

[Still, though, those are all things he knows well Shiro values. It can't fall into the nagging thought now that there's something more Shiro wants that he can't get the way things are now.]

And you do have us. Hell knows we've all got things you've helped and encouraged us through, too. [Even things that have been selfish, Keith knows too well.] ... That's how a team works, right?

[His smile is gentle-- encouraging and, proud. Yes, see, you get it. This is what he means, really, when he told Keith he could be a good leader all those years ago now for Keith. Listening, seeking out someone to help reassure them, and then doing so. And there's no denying for him that, through all this, being stuck in this place, he's completely aware of how much pride he has in Keith-- in seeing how Keith has grown, how he's stepping into that role. It's reassuring, too, to know that Keith would be okay even if something were to happen to him...]

Yeah. That's how a team works. Exactly.

[...] Just... don't forget that you're included in that, too. Whatever it is that you want, too, Keith... I hope you get that.

[Don't look so proud of him, he can't handle the softness behind that look - but it's enough to get a faint smile out of Keith in turn anyway, much as the things on his mind don't quite fade away so easily either. He's not sure he really deserves it, as if he could be doing so much more somehow. He still nods, looking out to the water after a moment.]

I know. I haven't forgotten. [He couldn't forget all the ways you've supported him so he could pursue what he wants.] Guess that's just why I want you to know I'm here, too.

I know. [...] And I know... it means a lot to me that you're here, Keith. I-- I don't know what I'd do without you, sometimes.

[His smile turns just a little self-deprecating, despite himself.] Sometimes I dunno how I'd keep my feet on the ground if you weren't there to set me right again.

Shiro...

[That's -- more than enough for him to turn back to face him again, to step a little closer to him. For once, Keith's at a loss for a brief moment. Here he is wondering if he's just fucking it up at being there for you, and you say this. His gaze goes from a little surprised to something softer.]

You're already so much steadier on your feet than you think, me there or not. [So much stronger, for all that Keith might worry. He finds himself already smiling at him again, a little helplessly.] I'm just glad if I get to help hold you up when you do need it. You deserve that.

[You deserve so much more than that.]

[He laughs a little, softly, privately-- he knows that, without Keith, he wouldn't even be here. It's because of Keith that he can feel so steady, that he can feel more accomplished in what they're doing. But maybe admitting as much would put too much pressure on him.]

[He tilts his head a little, looking at Keith with a soft look, his smile quiet but no less heartfelt.] Thank you, Keith. Being able to rely on you... you don't know what that means to me.

[He's quiet for a moment longer, just observing him for a quiet, comfortable moment.]

... Are you willing to tell me what brought all this on? [Why ask him all this? Yes, he noticed how you dodged that question before. Was he being sadder than usual? Or... For a panicked moment he fears this has something to do with almost kissing him in the boat fff did he push too far, or...] You don't have to, if you'd rather not.

["I punched Lucifer in the face" seems like a bad way to take this conversation, never mind his hand still fucking hurts, and knowing he's already worried Shiro enough just trying to talk to him in the first place... He kinda sighs as Shiro asks, feeling inadequate in his efforts, giving him an apologetic SORRY FOR BEING WEIRD kind of look.]

Nothing serious.

I know it's not exactly the ideal timing with everything that's going on, either. Just... [Wrinkles his nose. How is he so bad at this?]

[Probably not the best approach, no. He would definitely make sad faces. But he'd also make sad faces if he learned you hid it from him, mister.]

Hey... [He notes the self-deprecation here (because he's the king of it and can see it in others, welp. He reaches out and touches his arm, gently.] Keith, if something's bothering you, I'm glad you'd ask me rather than keep it to yourself. It's not bad timing. It's okay.

[He knows either way it's bad and... part of him feels like cringing that it's just ended up centering on him instead of Shiro, never mind those words. He is keeping it to himself, only because of how much more he's worried he'd admit. Too much more than he already has.]

Yeah. Don't worry, it's not - something bothering. [Not exactly. His eyes drift a little to the hand on his arm and linger there. Smiles, almost.]

I know you already know this but I just wanted to say it. That you can always talk to me about anything you need, too.

[His smile softens a little, just a touch sad for one moment, before he squeezes his arm gently, touch lingering.]

I do know that. It's... you don't know what it means to me, to know that.

[He has no idea, of course, what Lucifer told you-- that you're even aware that there are things he hasn't talked about yet with you. So welp.]

I don't know what I'd do without you. Explode, probably. [He means it as a joke, but really. He knows his method of internalizing everything and never talk about it isn't exactly. healthy.]

[info]finds
2018-10-01 10:03 pm UTC (link)
[Even without considering Lucifer, he knows there's enough Shiro's been through that he hasn't been able to talk about too, even with Keith, so he treats it in that similar vein. Ultimately, not knowing the extent of how relevant it is to him.]

[He does laugh a little, in any case, knowing Shiro's humor even as he chides in that save breath, a light push on his chest. You'd be fineeeee, you'll always be fine. He's making sure of it.] Don't do that.

[He laughs as he's pushed, letting himself linger for a moment against that hand.]

No? You're right, probably more likely I'd implode. More black hole and less supernova.

Neither one. [He says with a shake of his head, huffing some dry amusement anyway. Can u plz chill. And anyway, you...]

Your star's still going strong from where I'm standing.

[Sorry, no dramatic cosmic events for you as long as Keith has anything to say about it. And maybe he can't really help the way his eyes just go a little softer, where his touch lingers on Shiro's chest before he makes himself drop his hand away.]

[-- Oh. His heart clenches a little inside his chest at that and, well, it isn't the first time today he's had to fight back against the urge to kiss you. But it kind fo swoops over him suddenly and intensely, enough that he can only stare at him for a moment before his expression softens into something fond and, as always, just a touch longing. He misses when Keith drops his hand away, but what else can he do?]

Yeah? [Wow, he loves you so much it's overwhelming.] Guess when you put it that way, I have to believe you.

[He'll always say it if that's the case. If he had any awareness for that reaction, that would have been it but as it is, he misreads how it affected Shiro, smiles at him still, meets that longing with his own without even realizing.]

Yeah? [He echoes him with just a hint of almost teasing, still soft.] Glad to hear it, then.

So if I'm a star, what does that make you?

[Wrinkles his nose in thought, uhh he didn't consider this far.]

Don't know. An asteroid? [When all else fails, turn to dry quips - a rough funky-shaped rock floating out in space? Probably not so far off.] This was your metaphor.

[He snorts out a surprised laugh. Okay, maybe he should have expected "asteroid." Honey, please. Again, not the right time for hearts to be flying out of him and yet... Sigh.]

Oh, come on. At least say comet or something. [Basically funky looking rocks, but also with pretty ice tails.] Oh! Or, maybe a trans-neptunium object! Or a high velocity star.

[Cool objects that move at their own pace and own path, basically. /about to continue to list off more things before he realizes what he's doing and gets embarrassed. So anyway. asdlhgads;]

Or, I mean... whatever you want, I guess. I didn't really think through the metaphor.

[Wow, dlkfjsdlf sorry but even before Shiro catches himself, Keith's already started to smile, lips pressed together as if trying not to but with a telling curve to his mouth. How can he not... you space nerd.]

Always out to make me sound that much cooler. [Laughs sldkfjd.] The wolf already beat me to comet, I think, but...

I guess high velocity has always been up my alley.
