CLOSED TO KEITH

[ So... yeah, it’s been a month since Shiro arrived in Aefenglom. He’s very, very aware of the risks of going too long without a bond, and to be honest, even he isn’t certain why he’s been dragging his feet. It’s silly, and he feels silly for it. It’s Keith, after all; even in spite of Shiro’s own hangups, he trusts Keith more than anyone.

He knocks on Keith’s door when they’re both home, and this time, luckily, the conversation is a little less heavy. ]

Hey, Keith, do you have a moment?

PATISSERIE PR

[ Shiro isn’t sure how he feels about the whole romance thing, but he’s not going to let that hinder him from helping someone... and Karen definitely needs help. While he isn’t too down for helping in the kitchen, what he can do is hand out or put up fliers. And Shiro is determined to cover as much ground as necessary...

Maybe you’re helping, too, or maybe you’ve been handed a flier. Either way, Shiro’s here with a smile. He’s not afraid to be enthusiastic about the work he’s doing right now, too. ]

Have you been to Karen’s Patisserie? If you haven’t, you definitely should—they’re some of the best pastries I’ve ever had.

[ And with an endorsement like that, given so confidently... it might be hard to doubt it. ]

FORGET ME NOTS

[ Gathering seeds, huh? Sure, it’s a bit riskier, going out past the city, but Shiro’s alright with that. After all, someone has to do it, and he’s fine with taking on riskier favors so someone else doesn’t have to. Still, if you’re on your way to gather the seeds, too, and you’re obviously alone, Shiro will speak up-- ]

Need someone to watch your back? I’m more than happy to.

[ They’re all in this together; Shiro isn’t sure he’d be able to forgive himself if someone got hurt out there and he’d be able to prevent that. He might be new at all of this, but he is strong and determined and more than willing to help. ]

WILDCARD

[ if you'd like to do something else, plunk it here or hit me up via pm or at sweetstacks!

[ Ah.

That gives him pause for a few long moments. It feels so long, the silence, before he nods. ]

I understand why you did, Allura, [ he says quietly, carefully. He rubs his thumb against the ceramic of the cup, and when he speaks again, his voice is heavy. ]

But I felt so helpless. We came so close to losing you for good. If that had happened, I'm not sure I would've been able to forgive myself. Watching you go, so close and so far away at the same time--that was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

[She stares at the drink in her cup as he speaks, realizing that she hasn't yet had any. But she doesn't yet drink. Feeling the weight of Shiro's words in a new light after what she witnessed. It shouldn't be a surprise, should it? She was well acquainted with the feeling of being left behind, of people she cares about dying while there was nothing she could do about it. But she'd been asleep during the loss of Altea. It wasn't like this.]

I'm sorry. [Said quietly, head ducked far enough that her hair makes a curtain around her face,] I just wanted to keep all of you safe. It was my duty. But not just that. You are all my family. And now Keith-!

[She cuts herself off, voice breaking.]
