[ there’s such an easy way to ruin the moment. it’s a lay-up opportunity; keith has unknowingly set it up so perfectly and all shiro has to do is follow one thought of how keith being the head of voltron is by no means a joke. it’s shiro’s back-up plan. his safeguard in case all goes to hell and he’s taken out before the war is won. he’s yet to say as much to this keith and…
he will continue to not say it to this keith. no, not because he consciously chooses not to in this moment. instead, the opportunity is missed simply due to drunken amusement. he follows the sound of keith’s laughter and is blind to all else other than keeping it going. so he huffs, grins and kicks his feet out, jostling himself against keith’s back. ]
That doesn’t sound right. I can’t be the legs.
[ see? see them uselessly flop forward and back? keith’s the only one capable of doing anything worthwhile with his incredibly long legs. to further his point, shiro straightens up from his hunch, straining a bit for the reach, and – plop. he sets his chin right on top of keith’s head. ]
And – see? My head is higher. That means I’m the top.
