Y’ALL THE BEST I’d love some Keith-not-realizing-they’re-dating fics. I just want some clueless Keith tbh

“You’re so important to me,” Shiro says. He looks at Keith, as if waiting for the response.
“Yeah,” Keith says. “You’re important to me, too, Shiro.”
“Yeah?” Shiro whispers, and Keith can’t place the tone, or the reason why he should look so relieved following Keith’s statement.
“Of course,” Keith tells him.
Or: The one where Shiro and Keith start dating, but Keith doesn’t know that.

“I’m a shinigami and certain circumstances happened that forced me to pass my powers to Keith. Now we’ve been informed that there’s a monster in town and we have to fight it before it can harm innocent people, both living and dead.”
…or the Bleach AU feat. Shinigami Shiro and Substitute Shinigami Keith.No prior knowledge of Bleach required! :)
you give him everything - gardevoirite @softlysheith

Adam presses his lips together and nods. Maybe it is just a Shiro-and-Keith thing.
“I’m still happy for you. Both of you. After everything I’ve done, he deserves to be with someone who’d never give up on him.”
“Be with—“ Keith’s face goes from a healthy shade of pink to tomato red in the next second. “What? No, no. We’re not – together. Not like that.”
What? “That’s… not what I heard from Shiro. He said he loves being with you.”
Keith and Adam find closure of their own.
it’s a friend? date - adamantine
3k. (Teen and Up Audiences)
“Keith, what do you think this is?” The anger in Shiro’s voice has turned into an emotion Keith can’t quite place, which is somehow more unnerving. Shiro’s supposed to be his best friend. He’s not supposed to feel lost and unsettled around him.
“Huh?”
It’s Shiro’s turn to look lost. “When I asked you out for dinner last week, what did you think I meant?”
The question makes no sense to Keith. “That you wanted to eat dinner with me?” Is there a coded message he’s not grasping?
Or the one where Shiro’s dating skills are rusty and Keith’s are entirely nonexistent.
Here’s a bonus one where they’re both clueless dorks:
We’re So Not A Thing - EnvyBakemono

“This is Hunk. What’s u-““How long have Shiro and I been together?” Keith asked, panic rising.There was silence on the other end of the line. Keith could almost hear the gears clicking in Hunk’s brain. Then – “Dude. Dude.”“Don’t give me that tone,” Keith snapped. “It’s not like anybody told me.”
—
Keith doesn’t MEAN to be oblivious. It just…happens sometimes. And when it catches up to him, it means a solid two hours of freaking out. Luckily, Shiro is…
Not a whole lot better.
