@cosplay-daddy wanted something a little sad and a little sweet with lots of kisses, thank you for voting! 😘😘😘
The sun had long-since set by the time Shiro dragged himself back to the quarters he shared with Keith. It wasn’t quite late enough to be worried about waking him, but Shiro still kicked his boots off as quietly as he could manage, not wanting to bother Keith if he happened to be reading or drawing or otherwise relaxing.
Keith was smiling up at him from the couch as he stepped into their living room, sketch pad lovingly deposited onto the center of the coffee table in preparation for Shiro’s arrival. Keith’s face fell at the tired smile Shiro gave him in return. “Long day?” He asked, standing up to greet him with a hug.
Nodding curtly, the dark circles under Shiro's eyes sagged with his frown as they fixed themselves upon the scar running down Keith's cheek. He raised his hand to cup Keith's chin and trace his thumb along the angry red line.
Keith let him linger there for a long moment before turning his head to the side and placing the barest hint of kiss to Shiro's palm. "Wish you'd stop worrying about that," he murmured, stepping closer and pulling Shiro's hand down to their sides, fingers threaded.
"Keith..." It came out a breathless whisper as their eyes locked. "How could I not? I... I did that to you."
Letting his head fall onto Shiro's shoulder with a sigh, Keith took a few deep breaths before replying. "It wasn't your fault. It was Haggar." He lifted his head again and wrapped his free arm around Shiro's shoulders, pulling them together until their chests were almost touching again. "Gonna keep saying it until you believe it," he started, leaning in to kiss Shiro's cheek. "But it was worth it to get you out of there alive."
Shiro chuckled. "Well I mean, technically..." The corners of his eyes crinkled with his tired smile. It was the first one Keith had seen in days.
Keith shook his head before resting it gently against Shiro's. "You wanna argue technicalities or do you wanna kiss me, old man?" He grumbled, knocking their noses together as one side of his mouth quirked up into a smirk.
Shiro laughed again and let his eyes slide shut as their lips met.
☺️☺️☺️ well mainly because I’m super new to the fandom I suppose and this blog is probably like two weeks old, if that. My main is @out-of-character217 and I’m a huge Strifehart shipper, but I just couldn’t stay away from the Sheith. It has destroyed me. But I’m glad I’m here now! 🙏🏼
