[ how soon is soon? good question. it’s remarkable how easily time can get away from him. frustrating, too, of course. shiro likes to blame it on the ring. he never got keith an engagement ring. he still hasn’t, truthfully. all that time delaying, to walk back an importune proposal on a beach months ago, because the wording hadn’t been rehearsed enough and the ring not worthy enough, only to blubber his way through a second, sudden proposal in the middle of keith’s art class. shiro was never going to do this proposal right, was he? maybe he’s destined to botch every engagement.
afterall, he and adam had an extended engagement as well, with shiro wanting to wait until after the kerberos mission to tie the knot. look how well waiting went for them.
shiro doesn’t intend to keep keith waiting like that. or much longer in general. he’s blaming the ring, remember? between deciding on it, finding a talented craftsman, and then subsequently waiting for the order to be finished, it’s taken a good chunk of time. he should have the ring by the start of next week, however.
he cheated a little when it came to choosing. he’d emptied his shoebox of treasures to take the source of their penguin engagement and given that up to the craftsman to make a ring from it. just a band. simple, yet solid, he thinks that suits keith better than anything more extravagant.
he’ll be seeing soon, but until then: ]
I get your ring next week. Any time after that. Maybe we can look into destinations tonight. After the lesson on gator wrestling of course.
as i always say, you brought this upon yourself
