keith: nah, every once in a while he remembers something stupid i did and he stops talking to me

shiro: YOU JUMPED OFF A BUILDING, KEITH

keith: AND YOU SAVED ME SO IT ALL TURNED OUT OK

IT’S SO…… GOOD……. !!!!!

So a couple months ago I read @kcgane​‘s incredible fic “we are frayed and i’m so afraid” and well... it haunted me. For some reason I had a pretty clear picture in my head of what Shiro’s reality looked like and I just had to write it down before I went crazy. So here it is...

Lost and Hardly Noticed (5271 words)

Relationship: Sheith

Summary:

In that second Shiro’s entire world crumbles on its fixed axis. Wobbling dangerously on the tiny thread still holding it up.

Shiro can't even look at him. He's so completely, crushingly beautiful. Sharper features, thinner face. That unruly mop of black hair looking as messy as ever. This is his Keith.

Inspired by @kcgane's ”we are frayed and i’m so afraid”

Excerpt:

Gasping he shoots up straight, sheets falling to pool at his hips, eyes wide and head swivelling. "Did we do it?"

The pain in his head is almost blinding but he manages to grasp tightly to Keith's arm and steady himself. "Is the rift closed? Where are we?"

Alarmed, Keith sits up as well. "Shiro? What are you talking about?"

Shiro stares wordlessly, his sore, tired mind startled into focus as he really notices Keith for the first time. More specifically his hair. The inky strands that fall soft and light over his neck, the ones he's worshipped in private for years, are no longer there. Bangs still hang heavily in his eyes but the back is shorn, an undercut throwing the long column of his pale neck into relief.

With trembling fingers and something like shock he reaches out. "When did you-"

"Daddy!"

Do me a favor, peeps, and go back and listen to Lotor deliver this line. Listen to the way Lotor says,”Must.” It sounds different to me. 

And right after Lotor demands the team escort him to the Kral Zera, Shiro goes into full Lotor-biggest-fan mode. 

Coincidence...? 

Let me know what you guys think.

@kcgane​, what say you? :D

(If Lotor’s delivery does sound a bit strange, it makes me want to revisit “Trailing the Comet.”)

DO WHAT SUNNY…

omg hope you had a wonderful day!!! :D
