It's fine. [ the words come out a little too quick, but it can't be helped. ] I mean, I probably deserve it.
[ if he hadn't been so panicked over potentially losing his virginity to a stranger, keith never would have called him out to the pool, and they never would've ended up at keith's place, and nothing ever would've happened between them. but he'd been downright terrified... and all for naught. all koro had wanted was for him to tell him stories about home. nothing had happened at all, and he didn't have it in him to tell keith because he didn't want the guy to be mad at him over it. ]
Maybe it'd be best if I just... set the whole thing back to 'denial' and we just pretend this never happened?
[ it's his go-to for avoiding uncomfortable situations, and although it hasn't really done him any good, it also hasn't failed him much either. well, except for the part where internalizing it may not be the best idea out there, but he doesn't have a better plan. trying to talk things out had only ended with him focusing on what happened and not himself because he's never taken the time to think about it. it's easier to rehash a concrete than ponder the intangible.
of course, while he might be able to ignore this, it doesn't mean that shiro would be able to. it's always touchier when there's another person involved, and in this case, there's another two. ]
I'll even let you off the hook with answering. Just... promise me that at least one of you is gonna get home? Preferably both of you? 'Cause Keith already said he doesn't wanna be stuck with me for eternity, so I'd feel really bad if either of you ended up stuck here with me, y'know?
ridiculousness is a dish best served like fruitcake: rewrapped and regifted
