sometimes keith thinks shiro is doing better

and then he laughs, and keith isn't so sure anymore

[a-kind-cherry]

i don’t think keith saves shiro

not really

he just stays

even when shiro can’t quite stay with himself

maybe that’s enough

[lightningstrikes-art]

[a-kind-cherry]

keith used to think strength meant never breaking

shiro taught him that breaking

and surviving it

is a kind of strength too

[a-kind-cherry]

is this another one of those hurt/comfort nights?

"You don’t have to pretend with me," Keith says quietly.

Shiro laughs, but it sounds wrong.

Like something about to break.

"I'm not pretending."

Feb 29 birthdays are strange.

He wakes up expecting nothing.

The day surprises him by being gentle.

[a-kind-cherry]

the dynamic that makes the most sense to me

was never the popular one

but i can’t seem to let it go

I can’t believe it took me so long to draw them kissing. We have to make it real so here’s my contribution to the “Shiro and Keith will kiss at the end”. In my heart they will because they’re in love!

Ko-fi

[a-kind-cherry]

this was where it started for me.

i had never heard of vld until i came across merwild's fan art.

[a-kind-cherry]

i like reminiscing about them

when all the noise is over

when choosing each other

becomes a quiet task

[a-kind-cherry]

still writing them

And it’s right then,

as he looks down at Shiro,

that something settles.

He pulls the blanket back up, careful not to wake him.

He’s waited too long for this.

Years.

[a-kind-cherry]

this ship feels kind of quiet now

but i’m still here

still thinking about them

still believing in a... better version of their story?

Light in the dark

[a-kind-cherry]

post-canon is where i tend to stay

that’s where things get interesting for me
