"You sure about this, Shiro?" Keith sighed, one hand on his hip, the other hanging loosely at his side. "I mean, we've got all the time in the world. We don't have to rush anything."

Keith squealed, clinging to Shiro as he was quite literally swept off his feet. "Takashi-!" The gasp of his name floated between them like a wisp, taunting and alluring. Definitely a sound that would be made more in the coming hours.

His arms wrapped around Shiro's neck, draping over his shoulders carefully, but tight enough that it was obvious he was holding on.

"Please don't drop me," he pleaded, teasingly.

Keith nodded, moving even closer to Shiro. He craved touch, contact, anything intimate. His eyes, once dilated pupils, narrowed to slits as he stared up at Shiro with a hunger that couldn't be put into words. The room around them spun, his ears ringing.

"That's perfectly okay, Tak- Shiro." He stopped himself from calling the Lieutenant by his first name, thinking better of it in that moment.

His cheeks dusted a fair shade of red, seeping into his ears and neck.

"I need you." It was barely a whisper between them, their lips brushing. "I desperately need you."

Everything in that moment felt at peace. No war, no running, no yelling commands... Keith melted into the touch, a smile lingering on his face. His eyes remained closed, taking in the moment for everything it was.

"Taka," he started, moving closer, "why don't we go back to the Castle...it's getting late..." there were implications there that he hoped Shiro would pick up on, his tone lilting with a vague Southern drawl.

"You'll never be alone, I promise." The words fell like honey, laden with a sweetness he'd never shown to anyone before as they leaned into Shiro's touch. "I'll always find you, Takashi..."

Keith closed his eyes, taking in the moment for the peaceful one that it was. No fighting, no running around like mad men. They were safe in this moment, safe in this place.

"I love you more than words can say."

Keith's eyes welled with tears, they burned at the corners of those deep violet wells. "Takashi," he whispered, wrapping Shiro's hands in his own.

"Then yes...gods, a thousand times yes." They fell freely, then, the tears he'd been trying to hold back. They poured down his cheeks in rivers of pure, raw happiness.

"Run away with me? We can stay in that shitty little farmhouse...or make a place of our own. I don't care where we go, so long as I'm with you."
