[ If it were anyone else telling Keith to wait, there's a strong chance he wouldn't have bothered. Call it being an asshole, but Keith knows himself well enough to realize nothing good comes out of forcing a conversation when he isn't up to having one. Certainly Lance would have gotten a closed door for all of his troubles. But this isn't Lance, this is Shiro and as much as Keith wants to get out and reclaim more space for himself, he bites the inside of his lip and waits.
A stubborn part of him wants to ask what is there to talk about? The more level headed part of him knows to keep his mouth shut. It's obvious what they need to talk about, it's just that the conclusion seems.... predictable? They'll reach some amicable agreement to disregard everything that was said and done, right? Why prolong the awkward when he can just fast forward to the conclusion. Keith stays quiet, shoving aside the more acerbic replies... only to manage a flat: ]
Okay.
[ He picks up his boots, and doesn't meet Shiro's eye as he straightens up and turns around to leave. He ought to say more, but frustration keeps him silent. Nobody here is at fault for anything, it's just part of the reality they're dealing with and... well. That's that. ]
Talk in a bit then.
[ At the very least, he doesn't slam the door. It's just a quick and quiet open, shut, bye. ]
WOW shiro. stop monopolizing their daughter
