Silence hung over the pair as Shiro continued to smile at a stunned Keith. It wasn’t until Shiro shifted his leg slightly did Keith finally say something.
“Shiro...I- “he uttered, however his words were cut short as Shiro’s smile twisted into a pained grimace.
And then, the tears Shiro had been desperately trying to hold back finally flowed out.
Shiro forcefully buried his head into Keith’s chest, attempting to hug him as tightly as he could, but the strength had left his arms. He wanted to hide his pain, but he could no longer do so.
Shiro wept hard into Keith’s chest, breaking through the sobs to wheeze “I don’t want to leave...” over and over again. Keith sat there more frozen than before, staring at the top of his head. Keith had tried to ignore the reality of the situation by focusing on his own pain, but in doing so, he had caused more; more pain in the one person he never wanted to hurt.
He was scared. And Keith finally realised how much so.
Shiro’s anguish and fear washed over him like a blanket of torment that he had caused. Shiro needed him more than ever, but all he had been greeted with was anger and his own selfish rage – which needed to change before it was too late.
Slowly,
carefully,
gently,
Keith reached up and held his trembling head, quietly reassuring him.
He had intended to help, but the comforting only made Shiro more distraught.
“Don’t worry, I’ll find you again...”
Keith said in a soft voice, pulling Shiro’s head close.
