[ shiro’s a liar. all this time, he’s told himself he’s giving keith a wide berth so he can come to terms with everything and once shiro’s apologized, find a way to feel safe around him again. but it’s not that at all. or at least, not only that. shiro can’t relax around keith, because he’s the one who doesn’t feel safe.
gloucester has come with an array of mental games, this past one being the most violent. shiro doesn’t doubt for a second that there will be other mind fuckerys in the future and likely not of the terrorizing, yet mostly harmless type that plagued them in the first couple of months. if shiro goes rogue… – he can’t do that. he can’t come to and find keith’s lifeless body.
so call him selfish. call him insane. but shiro isn’t backing down on this. ]
Listen to me. [ he matches keith’s intensity, voice still hard-edged and unwavering. he doesn’t look at keith, still staring at this goddamn curse of an arm. ] You can’t hesitate next time.
