Protective Shiro after Keith pulls another heroic stunt and almost dies, Keith telling Shiro he’s not staying on Earth and Shiro deciding to go with him or just some good old fashioned pining fools thinking it’s unrequited for different reasons
Keith doesn’t look up from where he’s gathering papers at
his desk. He takes a breath, but his response takes another moment still, and
when it comes it’s quiet like he’s scared they’ll be overheard, though it’s
after-hours and everyone else is long since gone to dinner or home. “I don’t
know. Away.”
Why would be a better question, but Shiro’s felt it for
weeks now, maybe months–a quiet discontent Keith would never voice.
just moving along like everyone else
