shiro: hey. are you awake?
keith: ya
shiro: :S its like 3 am why r u up
keith: why did you message me then????

shiro: because i'm bored out of my mind and trying to pay attention in class.
keith: sure. bored.

keith sends shiro a picture of his cat anyway, who is curled up at what appears to be the foot of his bed, judging him.

shiro: HAHAHA she looks pissed.
keith: yeah she probably wants me to be asleep but i don't have class, so what do i care?
shiro: a consistent sleep schedule is important, you know.

he knows keith is rolling his eyes at his phone.

keith:

keith: youre gonna stay up just as late with me tonight playing stardew so shut up.
shiro: thats different
keith: its not different
shiro: listen its super different
keith: ok
keith: how?
shiro: i am young and reckless
keith: wtf
shiro:

keith: this is u
keith:

shiro: lol go to sleep
keith: k
shiro: do it.

keith sends him another picture, this time of himself lying in bed. shiro can feel his face growing hot just at the sight of the other man, mussed and shirtless.

chaos, his messaging app, falls silent. it's not until an hour later than he gets another notification, and his heart jumps into his throat, thinking it's keith.

adam: hey. what time do you get home tonight?

oh. it's just adam. wait. just adam? what is he thinking? adam is his fiance, for god's sake. he loves adam.

shiro: not super late. why?
adam: you forgot to take the recycling to the curb. please do it when you get back.
shiro: oh sorry
shiro: will do
adam:

shiro has just enough time to start pouting when he gets another message.

adam: there's pot roast in the slow cooker. do NOT take it out before it's finished cooking.
shiro:
adam: takashi im serious
adam: no more food poisoning for you
shiro: yessir.
adam: good boy.

the stupidest thing of it all is that he really does love adam. adam makes him happy. there is nothing wrong with adam. there's just even more right with keith.

if he didn't live all the way in japan, shiro probably would have fallen into his arms by now.

but the fact that he has feelings doesn't mean that he needs to act on them.

the rest of shiro's classes drag by. they really suck this semester, but there it can't all be electives, he supposes. it's a lot of math, which objectively he doesn't have a problem with, but a professor can really make or break it, and he's got two who totally suck.

by the time he gets home, keith is just waking up.

keith: yo i need to make breakfast but then let's fuck it up?
shiro: how we gonna fuck it up in stardew valley?
keith:

shiro:
shiro: where did you find that?
keith: the gif tab. try it sometime, old man.
shiro: wow. harsh.

shiro checks time time on the slow cooker. it's not ready yet, so he shrugs off his coat and bag, and then sets up at the kitchen table.

adam, who hates when he does that, isn't home to get annoyed with him.

grinning to himself, he gets the game open and then grabs himself a beer.

shiro: how long?
keith: idk. like 30 minutes.
shiro: guess ill do some hw

he sends a picture of himself pouting.

keith replies with a simple . left with no one to antagonize and nothing to do, shiro checks his twitter, sending along a pokemon meme to adam, and then pulls out his textbooks to get a start on the math problem (1 question, but of course it has 5 parts) he has due next week.

22 minutes later keith sends him a picture. it is a picture of his abdomen with what looks like a pretty new tattoo of a lion.

keith: does this look infected to u?

shiro stares at it. how should he know? also, keith's happy trail is very distracting.

shiro: does it hurt?

keith: yeah but i got stabbed with a needle a bunch, so i kind of expected that. it just looks kinda extra red, doesn't it?

shiro stares harder. it's a red lion. the skin does look kind of irritated from what he can see, but he's not sure if that means anything or not.

shiro: idk? i can't see all of it.

there's a full 60 seconds of silence, and then another picture. this time, shiro can see the whole tattoo over keith's stomach, hip, and down part of his thigh.

he can also see keith's pubic hair.

his brain kind of short circuits.

keith: so?

shiro inhales sharply.

shiro: i'll ask one of my friends. he knows more about tattoos than i do.

he pins the message and tells himself it's just so he doesn't lose it.

they play stardew valley, and shiro eats some truly incredible pot roast, and he kind of forgets about it for a while. at least until he has to bring it up with his friend, who gives him a very judgy look over it all.

shiro: hey so i asked my friend river and he says it's not to out of the ordinary and just make sure you're drinking water and taking care of it properly.

keith: ok thanks

shiro: you doing ok?

keith: yes
keith: my mom is here

shiro: oh!! sorry. i know how it be. i'll leave you alone.

shiro wonders what his mom looks like. maybe that's where he gets those gorgeous eyes and incredible hands from.

keith: haha its fine she's just dropping off some food
keith: and complaining about work

shiro smiles down at his phone. he sounds a lot like her. they must be very similar.

shiro:

keith: jealous?
shiro: yes!!

keith sends a picture of himself with a bunch of tupperware, which wouldn't be a big deal, except that he's also wearing a pretty loose tank top, and shiro can see one of his nipples. he fixates on it a little, imagining wrapping his mouth around it,

wondering if that'd make keith moan or if he'd have to suck on it first.

he swallows, mouth dry.

shiro: pls sir
shiro: im so hungry
keith: ?
shiro: omg shut up

except yes. absolutely.
