A/n: Hope you enjoy it love! Sorry it took so long! I made it pretty fluffy.
P.S. @jxsontxdds here’s some Keef for you since I know you love him 😉
Ever since you had gotten back to Earth, it was strange to get back to normal life. You were used to helping the team take down the Galra and countless beasts in order to save the universe. You never thought you’d be back home picking out paint swatches for your new apartment with Keith. When you ended up being dragged into a fully raging universe war, you and Keith were just friends. Though coming out you were in love.
No one really expected it to happen, except Shiro because he could read Keith like a book. But here you are, trying to decide which shade of red to paint the living room. “What is it always red with you?” Chuckling as you picked up another card. “You said I could choose the living room since you chose the bedroom.” He defended himself, making you smile and kiss his cheek. “So sensitive.” Shaking your head before going to get the paint you needed.
After painting the living room the both of you got all of your furniture moved in with the help of everyone. They all insisted on helping you both with the move in. You watched as Shiro and Keith carried in the couch and placed it in the living room, making you happy that they got everything in before the storm clouds began to pour outside. “Thank you Shiro it means a lot.” You thanked him with a smile, of which he waved off. “No problem, anything to help you guys out.” Saying as he squeezed Keith’s shoulder.
“Thanks to all you guys, we couldn’t have moved in so fast without you.” You looked at everyone. Pidge was currently setting up the cable and wifi, Lance and Allura were helping hang paintings, Hunk was making dinner, and Coran had been cleaning up as the apartment had priorly looked like a hurricane had swept through it.
“It’s our pleasure [F/n]” Allura smiled at you. “Yeah, you’re family.” Pidge added as she stood from setting up the cable box. “Plus this is the next step to you and mullet head getting married.” Lance exclaimed as both you and Keith blushed. Allura smacked him upside the head, of which you mentally thanked her.
“Ow!” He exclaimed as she scolded him on how it is inappropriate to pressure such things. Eliciting laughter from everyone in the apartment.
Hunk entered the living room announcing, “Now that we’re finished, how about we eat?” Smiling you nodded and walked into the kitchen with everyone. Hunk made his amazing tacos, it seasoned with a seasoning of his own design. Everyone laughed and ate in the warm light of the living room, the pitter patter of raindrops setting a beautiful background noise. Reminiscing on memories from their fight against the galra and even some from before it.
It was nice, until you were all shrouded in darkness at a clap of thunder. A yelp coming from Lance. “Lance, did you just yell?” Keith’s smirk could be heard in his tone. “Shut up mullet!”
You flicked Keith who was sitting next to you before standing to find the flashlights or candles. “What happened?” A voice you recognized as Hunk’s asked. “I don’t know, maybe something happened with the buildings circuit breaker?” Pidge offered a notion. After finding a flashlight you searched in the kitchen for some matches to light a few candles, though you jumped at the feeling of arms wrapping around your waist. “Sheesh Keith, you scared me.”
He chuckled before responding. “Sorry babe, I couldn’t handle them all talking about the circuit breaker any longer.” You rolled your eyes before removing his arms from yourself, “Well then make yourself useful and help me find the matches.” Playfully pushing him away.
“You mean these?” He pulled a box from the drawer to his right. “Yes those” You held out your hand for them. “It’s gonna cost ya.” A smirk played on his lips. Rolling your eyes again you pecked his lips, “Dork” mumbling as he handed the matches to you.
Walking around the living room you began to light candles and everyone seemed to breath a sigh of relief now that they had some light again. The storm continued to rage outside as the night slowly ticked on. No one really wanted to drive home in the storm due to it’s sheer magnitude. “How about you guys all stay here tonight?” You offered, “It’s too dangerous to drive out in that storm.” Keith nodded.
“Are you sure? We wouldn’t want to impose.” Allura asked, her manners were really too sweet sometimes. “It’s really okay. Promise” you smiled. Eventually, with a little more testimony, you and Keith had convinced everyone to stay. You all decided the arrangements of allowing Allura and Pidge the guest room, Coran took the couch, Shiro the recliner, and Hunk and Lance agreed to take sleeping bags.
After it was settled you all had fallen back into the story telling and laughing as before. You sat cuddled up to Keith, laughing at a story Hunk was telling about how he became a cook at the Space Mall for a day. Pidge and Lance adding in how they had been stealing coins from the fountain. Though soon everyone was yawning and feeling the exhaustion from the strenuous day.
Deciding it was late enough, you showed Allura and Pidge to the guest room as Keith got everyone in the living room pillows and blankets. Hunk and Lance were out in seconds, along with Coran, but Shiro and Keith stayed up talking for a bit.
“You guys seem really happy.” Shiro commented, Keith smiled and nodded. “I honestly never thought I’d be here Shiro. [F/n]’s just so amazing and I can’t imagine a better place to be. I’ve never really been happy like this before.” Shiro smiled before pulling Keith into a hug “I really am happy for you guys, you deserve it.” Keith patted his back, “Thanks Shiro, for everything.” Bidding him goodnight, Keith left the living room to find you in the bedroom.
You were reading a book while waiting for him. At the sound of the door, your eyes looked up to meet his. A tender smile danced on his lips. You loved when he smiled like that. He was always so hot headed and hostile towards people. So, it made you a bit proud that you had softened him up some. “Everyone set up?” Asking as he changed into pajamas. He nodded, “Yeah, when I left Shiro was the only one still up.” Commenting as he crawled into bed next to you. Placing a kiss on your lips. “Thank you.” He smiled.
“For what?” Scrunching your brows in confusion. “For putting up with me, when I’m being hot headed and arrogant. For never backing down at my temper and helping me get a handle on things. For just being there for me. For loving me.” Keith was never one to speak so sentimentally, so, his words caught you off guard a bit. However, you smiled anyway and took his hand, giving it a gently squeeze. “Well, it’s my pleasure to love you Keith Kogane.”
He smiled before kissing your palm. “And I love you [F/n] [L/n].”
