[ did before too. back home, keith did the best he could and that means something. a lot more than something. but shiro was always a lost cause. that’s not the focus here though and shiro doesn’t want to dwell on his nonexistent future. so he squeezes at those thighs and half-hops on his next step, jostling keith once again, with far more enthusiasm this time. ]
Though he does torture him with gifts he won’t talk about.
[ back to that -- shiro hasn’t forgotten. now can he have hints? ]
no subject
