2/2

[marmoron]

[ deep breath as keith ducks around the corner to avoid a classmate. the rest of the story is delayed by a minute. ]

ok sorry. i had to get away from jeraldine
anyway it was my turn and i was daydreaming about you but obviously i couldn't say
"my biggest problem rn is that my face isn't in my fiance's chest"
so uh
kinda blurted
i'm all out of almonds.

text; 1/2

[earthshine]

[ shiro is having an uneventful afternoon at the station. specifically his office.
it’s paperwork tuesday and shiro is content with the monotony of it.
he’s making great progress on the workload too, up until his device pings and he derails right into distraction. ]

You daydream about me during class?

[ not the point here, he knows, but he’s crowded around his device, grinning silly. ]

2/2

[earthshine]

[ okay okay, attempt to comfort his fiancé round two.
tappity tap tap – send. ]

So am I almonds, then?
Was that code for I’m all out of fiancé pecs?

[marmoron]

[ okay so.
a) holy hell is that not the point
b) why does reading this make him feel a little better?
conclusion: kdigh ix hopdldxx. ]

i guess you do have a nice pair of nuts on you🤔
also? what kind of question is that?
do you not daydream about me at work? 😨<

[earthshine]

[ god, he’s smiling. snickering, even.
his pile of work forgotten as he leans back in his plush chair and kicks his feet up on his desk, one ankle over the other. ]

So my pecs are now known as nuts.
What are we calling my actual nuts?

Of course I daydream about you.
Why do you think I pushed so hard to get this promotion that secured me a private office?

apparently i am just as HOPELESS as keith sdfhkl;

[marmoron]

[ fuck, now he's just hiding in some uni stairwell making moony faces at his phone. keith really ought to be getting a grip on himself before someone catches him acting like a lovesick school girl. truly, the most embarrassing way for the former (reluctant) leader of voltron to be seen.... ]

your nuts are also nuts. just a different kind of nut maybe?
like t-nuts.

[ oh no, now he's making dad jokes. ]

ok but now i'm curious
have you ever jerked off in your office

don't you mean hopdldxx?

[earthshine]

[ is it possible for him to love keith more at this point? he didn’t think so, and yet, he’s got himself a few bonus points for that joke, so…
heh. to think there was a time he doubted making this boy his. ]

So I’ve got two t-nuts ready to fasten my wood to your workpiece, which I guess is now code for your ass.
I can live with this.

[ this is stupid.
but shiro’s still smiling. ]

I’m not incriminating myself over text.

[ which is… incriminating in itself. ]

SHAMING ME....!!

[marmoron]

[ forget lovesick school girl, clearly horny teenager is more apt of a descriptor. keith was always something of a late bloomer, so maybe it's only fitting that he's going through this phase at the ripe young age of twenty-two. he should really know better, and yet... ]

how ready?
i want to see 😚
since you're being so mysterious about the other thing

I ACCEPT YOU

[earthshine]

[ he just said – !
if the joke is him being unwilling to put his shame in text, then attaching photographic evidence of it should be out of the question as well.
should. ]

Not nearly ready enough to be impressive.
Maybe you should sweet talk me for a bit.
Help me along.
🍆

;~;

[marmoron]

[ ... oh. and here the only external indication keith gives that he should probably not be doing any of this rihght now is a hunkering of his shoudlers as he crowds the screen with his back, just in case anyone happens to enter the stairwell. ]

asking me to incriminate myself even though i don't have a nice private office like you, i see how it is

[ but maybe that's... also kind of thrilling? fuck. ]

ok. i got all the sweet you need.

[ attachment: workpiece.mp4 ]

shhhh it's ok. 1/2

[earthshine]

[ now, shiro’s got some exhibitionist energy in him; energy that delights in people looking at keith, but only when shiro is there with him, preferably plastered against him in some way.
so reading that text and picturing keith out in the open, drawing stares is… not a pleasant one.
his smile cracks for the first time; not falling completely, no, but… he drags his feet off the desk and sits up, typing out: ]

You could save us both the trouble and come visit me.

[ okay, let him think. what day is it – what is keith's class schedule today? ]

See for yourself what it is I do in here.

2/2

[earthshine]

[ of course, by the time he’s typed this out and sent it, there’s an attachment waiting for him.
excitement and curiosity kicking up, he opens it.
blink.
stare.
types. ]

Nevermind.
I’m revoking that invite.

:/

[marmoron]

[ forgive him, keith is laughing . shiro won't have confirmation of this fact, but let it be known it's happening and keith is maybe 10% sorry. ]

but babe, i'mm all out of almonds!!
practically fucking starving...
and i was just giving you a visual representation of what it is i'd like you to do with your t-nuts.

[earthshine]

[ oh.
shiro doesn’t have to hear it to know it.
he knows keith is laughing and grinning and feeling so proud of himself for getting shiro good.

gdit, shiro’s smitten even when he’s the butt of a joke. ]

If you stop being a gremlin, you can have some almond cream tonight.
The t-nuts might even have enough to keep you full tomorrow morning, so you don’t go complaining to your professors about your lack of almonds.

[marmoron]

[ ... ah fuck and here he;d just forgotten being mortified about that whole fiasco of blank stares and the awkward "that's nice??" from the professor before moving onto the next person in the circle.

ah well. maybe the only thing that really matters here is that he has a boy who loves him and a family that accept him, stupid flubs and all. keith taps the screen, and takes a picture. it's nothing racy or anything, just one of him blowing shiro a kiss from an empty stairwell which is sent as an attachment called: notgremlin.jpg ]

ok.
but i've got hunger pangs babe so make good on that promise

[earthshine]

[ does it need any saying that the attached jpg has shiro smiling? another given is that shiro saves the file, adding it to the keith album that continues to grow, seemingly every day.
his gaze lingers on the purse of keith’s lips for a moment longer and then he swipes his screen back to the text box, checking out the time in the top right corner of his device. ]

Let me get back to my work, so I can finish up and come home earlier tonight.
Until then… Patience ❤️
Love you
