“ why are you so afraid of trusting this— trusting us. what’s making you hold back? ”
Takashi's eyes averted from Mark, downcast and sorrowful the grey blue hues shone in the dim light like dying stars. The wind whipped around them, causing a chill to run down his spine. The leaves were just starting to change, that familiar fall chill creeping into the air. They'd been walking home from school when Mark asked that pointed question.
"I'm graduating soon," he explained, frown only deepening, "and going off to college...I won't be able to see you as often." He tried to explain the whirlwind of thoughts running around in his head. He'd been accepted to a college just out of town, still in state, but out of the way of an every day visit.
"I don't want to ruin your chances at something great, I don't want to hold you back, Mark..." Takashi took Mark's hands in his own, trying his damnedest to smile at him. "I don't want to be the reason you lose an opportunity." He loved Mark, truly he did, but with the distance and the strain of college, would they be able to keep this up?
"We can keep trying, if that's what you want, but I'm leaving the ball in your court, Mark."

He gasped audibly, hips rocking back to press closer still. Everything felt hot, the temperature of the room rising rapidly around them. Keith's whole body buzzed, nerves set alight by even the slightest contact.
"Stars, I need you." He breathed, leaning his head back to look up at Shiro. "Let me show you a good time?"
Nibbles the shell of Keith's ear.
Keith purred, leaning into the contact, a low whine leaving him. "Takashiii~" His body reacted on instinct, arching against Shiro in desperate need for more contact. "Please, you always know just how to drive me wild~"
[ EMBRACE ] for one muse to suddenly hug the other one for their own comfort.
Keith wrapped his arms around Mark and buried his face against the other's chest. It had been a long day, and he was exhausted. The world was too much. They didn't speak, they hardly moved other than clinging to the slightly taller male, he didn't even look up. Shallow, almost gasping breaths slowly dwindled into slow, even inhales and exhales. He was calming down, and Mark was to thank for it.
[ NURSE ] for one muse to tend to the other while they’re recovering from injuries.
Keith groaned, trying to sit up. He felt as if he'd been hit by a truck. His body ached - no, hurt - and his head was spinning. Looking around the room, he tried to gather his surroundings. It didn't look like any hospital he'd seen before, so he considered that a plus. He was in someone's bedroom - a simple room with dark green walls and posters everywhere. Mark's bedroom?
He tried again to sit up, forcing himself up on the plush bed. "Mark?" Keith called out, voice rasping. They cringed at the sound of it, frowning. Had he been screaming? "Mark...?" He tried again, finally a bit louder.
Shiro nodded, taking in what Keith was saying and weighing it with his own feelings. That little internal war that had never really stopped. He chewed the inside of his cheek, frowning. He adored Keith, and wanted nothing more than to make him happy and to be happy with him. If he married someone else, that meant something went wrong with what they have now.
"I don't want to waste your time," he started, tears stinging in the corners of his eyes, "but the future can change, Keith. Nothing is set in stone..." Shiro was hopeful, cautiously optimistic, and it shone in his eyes more than on the rest of his face. That little glimmer of hope.
"Do you want to see where this goes?"
"One condition," he spoke carefully, gently. "What's bothering you? You know you can tell me anything, Keith. I can see right through that fake smile and you know it." He was stern, but not angry in the slightest, concern washing over his face and knitting his brows together. "If it's something you don't want to say, that's fine, but please know I'll listen to anything you have to say. I'm here for you just as you are for me."
He wrapped his hand around Keith's, gently, and lifted it to his lips, pressing a gentle kiss on the other's knuckles. The smile that had previously danced across his face like the flame of a candle was now a solemn look, grey blue eyes flashing in the low light.
[ SCARED ] for sender to bury their face in receivers shoulder at a scary scene in a horror movie.
Keith chuckled lightly, wrapping his arm around Mark and kissing the top of his head. "It's okay, I'll let you know when it's over." He nuzzled closer, purring low in his throat in an attempt to soothe. He was a bit spooked as well, but hid it behind the brave facade he always kept up. A few scenes made him jump, though, and he hid his face against Mark's hair.
"It's almost over," he whispered, smiling. "You big baby..." Keith teased, laughing quietly.
some angst idk y’all i like crying
“ i don’t want you here. just go. ”
“ you ‘didn’t mean to hurt me?’ yeah you did. like it or not, i know exactly who you are. ”
“ why won’t you even look at me? ”
“ i’m not angry at you. i’m angry with myself for trusting you. ”
“ i wish you’d stop trying to destroy yourself in some misguided effort to feel worthy. ”
“ i know it’s not fair to say this, but i don’t have anything without you. if i don’t have you i have nothing. ”
“ you can’t love me. not the way i need to be loved. ”
“ i’m broken. and i don’t need anyone to try to feed me white lies about it. something inside me is broken and it isn’t just going to be put back like it was. ”
“ sometimes being broken isn’t about trying to put things back together like they were before. it’s about picking up what pieces are left and building something new. ”
“ okay, so you’re a monster. so am i. lets be monsters together. ”
“ because of what they/you did i’m damaged. ”
“ what the hell is wrong with you? ”
“ what the hell is wrong with me? ”
“ i can’t fix you. you can’t expect me to know how to fix you. ”
“ yeah, i’ll be here. i’ll be here when you’re ready to stop running. ”
“ my world is just falling apart. it’s like everything is just crumbling around me. i don’t know what to do. i just want it to stop ”
“ you’re the only thing that makes sense right now. everything else is just— the world is so loud. and the only time it feels quiet is when you’re here. ”
“ i don’t know how to talk about shit okay? it’s too hard. but i do care. i need you to trust me that i care. ”
“ stop punishing yourself. you wanna make up for what you’ve done? get off your ass and do something about it. ”
“ whatever it is you think was going on between us, you’re wrong. ”
“ it didn’t mean anything to me. ”
“ you should move on. i did. ”
“ i feel like i’m one bad day away from becoming everything i’ve fought against. ”
“ stop pushing me away. i’m not going anywhere, asshole. and as soon as you get that through that thick skull of yours, the better. ”
“ i don’t need you in my life. i don’t want you in it. ”
“ i can’t trust myself. if i let myself get comfortable enough, when i try to be happy, people get hurt. ”
“ people like me don’t get to have peace. ”
“ i’m not the person you want. i know you think i am. but it won’t take long for you to realize this is a mistake. ”
“ you want the truth? the truth is when i love people it burns inside me like a poison. it infects every part of me until it feels like they’re in my goddamn soul…and then i fuck it up. and it’ll destroy us both. ”
“ i’ll always choose you. that’s the worst part of it all. i’d choose you over and over, even though i know you wouldn’t do the same. ”
“ you never had to be perfect. you just had to stay. ”
“ will you please just stay for once. just. don’t walk away. ”
“ if i loved you less, i might be able to talk about it more. ”
“ just tell me something real. tell me something i can remember no matter what happens to us. ”
“ when you look at me, i feel seen. i feel like you see past everything i’ve always surrounded myself with to try and protect my heart. no one has ever looked that deeply at me. ”
“ how can you uncover so much about someone, make them let their guard down and lay themselves bare to you. and then just throw it all away? ”
“ if you walk out that door don’t bother coming back. ”
“ why are you so afraid of trusting this— trusting us. what’s making you hold back? ”
“ will you still be here? will you stay even after you’ve seen all the ugly parts of my heart. ”
“ i don’t care how willing you are to die for me. i want you to fucking live with me. live for us. ”

@palidinus cont from DMs
Keith knocked on the door out of habit before opening it, letting it slide to the side before he slipped in and let it close behind him. "Takashi," he purred out, slinking towards the bed and crawling on top of Shiro. "Need you..." his eyes darkened, pupils forming slits before flickering to blown wide.
He purred low in his throat as he trailed kisses along Shiro's jaw and neck. "Let me ride you till neither of us can walk, daddy."
❝ you mumble in your sleep. ❞
"Do I?" Keith asked, dumbfounded for a moment. He had no idea - in reality he thought he was a silent sleeper, he did most other things so quietly. "Do I say anything coherent?" Oh he had to know, what sort of nonsense was he spouting in his sleep?

"Tell me"
"Takashi Shirogane, you make me feel like the only person in the world when you look at me~" He cooed, wrapping his arms around Shiro. They were semi public, but he didn't care. "We work well together, we think in sync, if I didn't know any better I'd say our hearts beat as one." He placed a hand on Shiro's chest, smile only growing. Their hearts were beating in pace with one another. He leaned up onto his tip toes and placed a gentle, chaste kiss on Shiro's lips.
"You are the morning sun and the rising moon. You are the welcomed breath of fresh air after a long day. I don't know what I'd do without you, Taka taka."
"I feel safe with you. I always have."
Keith smiled up at Shiro, wrapping his arms around the taller paladin's shoulders. He lazily kissed him, a chaste, gentle peck on the lips. His hair stuck to his face from a recent shower, the smell of his body wash still strong and wafting off him. Strawberries...he smelled of strawberries. Cute.
"And I feel safe with you, Takashi..." Though they were in public, he called him by name, something he'd only done a few times. "I always have, and I always will."
“Tell Me”
"I love you," Keith started, a grin spreading across his face. He was happier than he'd been in years. His life, even. "You're like a breath of air on a cool fall day...like the smell of coffee in the morning. You're the sounds of birds singing after a storm. You're the sunrise and the sunset. The moon shines for you, the stars glitter in your name. I would name constellations for you, but even that doesn't begin to cover my feelings for you. Words can't describe how you make me feel."
