- D&D group filled and
- Keith's character: I'm a lone wolf, I don't trust anyone or anything, my first priority is myself and what I can stand to benefit, and getting me to work together with others is like pulling teeth
- Shiro's character: Hi :)
- Keith's character: I would die for you, I would kill for you, do you need someone assassinated because I could do that for you, my god, you perfect creature, whatever I can do to keep you safe and happy, I'll do it with a song in my heart as long as you do that again
- Shiro's character: Aw, thanks :)

- juce! - 12/02/2017
- ok so the BIG QUESTION
- is shiro there for keith or is keith there for shiro
- there as in the dnd campaign
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- They're there for each other, Shiro wouldn't have been on board if Keith wasn't and Keith DEFINITELY wouldn't have if it wasn't at Shiro's insistence that it could be a good way to Bond and Get Closer as Friends and Learn Valuable Teamwork
- He's also not going to mention that he hopes it'll help Keith branch out in his interests
- For Shiro, he's got a passing interest, sure, but he would have been happy going through life without really "getting" it, so getting to play with his favorite people Is the reason rather than just a fun bonus
- Pidge: Shiro, come join my D&D group
- Shiro: Uhh, I dunno, I've got a lot on my plate and I'm not sure how well it'd fit into my schedule an--
- Pidge: That's what Keith said, too :(
- Shiro: I'LL DO IT, and I'll get him on board, too
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- gOD YES
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- i want to
- use the penpal sheith headcanon
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- YESSSSSSSSSSS
- It's even better because at some point it's like, "I'll be staying in California this summer, it's not super close, but I thought maybe I could come visit or something--" TRYING TO BE SUPER CASUAL BUT ALSO NOT
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- keith “lives in complete solitude” kogane, trying to be supes casual: cool cool cool cool cool cool
- alternately keith’s much less enthusiastic response every time shiro gently swipes another v card
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- He's not dating anyone and Keith KNOWS it's not like they've ever TALKED about FEELINGS and he can do what he wants, he's a grown adult, but ow the ache
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- i love you and it’s with a full heart that i try and out-headcanon you
- fuck ok you've
- done it with shiro offering to pay for keith's embarrassing tattoo removal
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- <3
- They have this conversation every time Shiro catches a glimpse (if the spot isn't too embarrassing for two best friends that are close enough to routinely see each other in various states of undress without it being a huge deal)
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- keith regularly answers his door with just a towel around his waist and no concept of shame so
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- So where is it :eyes:
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- in the pelvis area,,,,,,,,,,,,,
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes:
- "Listen, I know it bugs you, you know I don't mind, why not just let me take care of--"
- "I fell ass backwards into this mess all by myself and by god I'm gonna claw my way out of it myself, too."
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- tbh keith would have bigger savings if he wasn't constantly bringing shiro takeout
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- The man's one failing is that he can't cook for himself and would survive off protein shakes and Gatorade if he could
- He always tries slipping money to pay him back into Keith's bag when he thinks he isn't looking but Keith NEVER ACCEPTS IT
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- keith sets it on his counter with a sticky note (because you know shiro has sticky notes laying around) that says NICE TRY BUDDY
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- He DOES, god, he has so many sticky notes
- "Remember to do your best today :)"
- "Progress, not perfection"
- "Don't give in to the sweet release of death"
- "Pottery class on Tuesday"
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- in keith's handwriting: "your face is okay"
- "you're kind of slow when we run together but i'd rather go with you than alone"
- "it's your turn to buy pizza, pick out toppings you actually like this time, stupid"
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- starts crying
- I love them so much
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- keith, looking at the cover of a self-help book for inspiration and snorting as he writes "you're always your best you"
- he always feels the need to write in red even though their handwriting is different enough that it's clear who wrote what
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- Shiro uses different colored pens for different reminders
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- god he would though
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- Green for school and academic related reminders, blue for fun/social stuff, yellow for self-care reminders, and red for things that are Very Important To Him ;)
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- "you're going to get our notes mixed up shiro" says keith, oblivious to the significance
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- "Maybe this is your cue to switch to black?"
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- keith, the edgelord, does not own any black pens
- KIDDIng but also..........
- a good thought: these idiots sitting on their shitty apartment futon together crafting dnd characters
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- ..............
- Hey
- Hey Jude
- Jude, hey
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- hey urself
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- Roommates
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- I KNOW THAT'S WHAT I JUST SAID
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- I WASN'T SURE IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE IMPLYING BECAUSE I DID MENTION HE LIVES ON HIS OWN SO I JUST WANTED TO
- CHECK
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- OH shit i messed up
- but roommates is sO GOOD
- a lifetime of living with strangers has not made keith immune to the mild social anxiety of dorm living
- he silently moves in with shiro by constantly crashing on the futon to avoid going back to his dorm
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- That's my FAVORITE FUCKING THING IN THE WORLD
- Just the whole "you're over so often that we're basically just living together before I know it" trope
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- i know it's sO GOOD
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- And they were ROOMMATES
- Oh my god they were roommates
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- just
- keith eventually has a box of clothes that like perpetually hangs out there
- he's always leaving in progress homework on the coffee table
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- Shiro quietly adding Keith's preferred shower gear (dollar store two-in-one shampoo/conditioner, washcloths, and the occasional hairtie) in his bathroom
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- i can't believe shiro encourages keith's bad haircare habits
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- He would honestly prefer if Keith grows it out a little more
- He likes having a little length to play witI mean what
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- "hey shiro, where are your scissors? i need to cut my hair."
- shiro, CASUALLY, "i don't think it's long enough for a cut yet."
- and keith's just WHATEVER MAN so now shiro has
- you know
- a little length to play with
- B)
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- Just a little B)
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- i can't believe keith is going to confess his feelings through a fantasy table top game in this au
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- PLEASE TELL ME HOW IT GOES DOWN I NEED TO KNOW
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- hmm
- HMMMMMMM
- maybe there's some fun correlation where
- in real life shiro has been spending a lot of time with allura and keith mistakes it as something it isn't
- meanwhile in their campaign shiro's character tries to make a decision to save some damsel (OF INTDETERMINATE GENDER OFC bc i trust pidge would never throw a helpless lady in distress into their campaign) but it's a really risky call and keith is v v high strung at the moment so he just blurts (dramatically)
- "i love you and i can't let you do that"
- BACKPEDALING FIERCELY "that was in character"
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- Oh my GOD
- Shiro goes, "Yeah, yeah, of course, I, yeah, sure, I need to go, um, do this other thing"
- The boy is red down to his toes
- And he feels like an IDIOT because Keith just SAID it didn't mean anything
- Please god give me mutually pining Sheith or give me death
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- (said it didn't mean anything after a very awkward silence around the table)
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- Yeah but the thing about that is
- He trusts Keith's word more than he trusts his own dumb feelings and the gut reaction that he mistakes as misplaced hope, so he misses the cover for the obvious ruse it is
- Because he's a fucking IDIOT
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- god!!!!
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- Things are awkward when he gets back from a good old-fashioned Bathroom Scream™ and Hunk quietly gives up his spot to sit next to Keith because he's always been Shiro's right-hand man
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- keith, a literal child: "i don't want to play anymore" and LEAVES
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- HE TAKES THAT AS A VERY CLEAR REJECTION AND (MAYBE???) ANGER SIGNAL FROM SHIRO AND HE JUST STRAIGHT UP CAN'T PRETEND TO PUT ON A GOOD FACE LIKE SHIRO'S TRYING TO
- Does he go back to their place or the dorm he still technically lives at on paper and if so how Fucking Lonely must he feel
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- NEITHER because he's a drama queen
- he takes chili to the park and throws balls for her literally all night
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- I hate him so much
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- me too he's the WORST
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- Shiro goes back to the apartment and finds it empty and worries the WHOLE NIGHT
- juce! - 12/02/2017
- keith left his phone behind of course
- also now max doesn't have anyone to cuddle with, what a selfish jerk :(
- Sashenka - 12/02/2017
- Shiro is a "lounge on counters" bi
- Keith's a "lay down on the floor" gay
- Shiro perches, Keith sprawls
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- as a lesbian i can say with complete sincerity that the image of shiro lounging against a counter is stupid hot
- also as a keith roleplayer
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- As a men who loves men and a Shiro roleplayer, the image of Keith laying on the ground is-- Oh wait haha that already happened
- https://78.media.tumblr.com/8ebf7025d0c145c1d079e12eaa6b8265/tumblr_inline_otpno1PE0f1ubozr5_1280.png
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- Listen, I know this is a Lokeith thing we settled on but imagine that
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- :eyes:
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- Shiro just can't say no when he's asked to fill in as a model for a life-drawing class
- :eyes:
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- keith produces his best piece that day
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- He most definitely does NOT have the same easy confidence that Lotor would and he's flushed to hell and back but the professor wanted them to get in practice drawing scarring (and obviously wanted to make sure Shiro wasn't bothered by it) SO
- Here he is
- Completely unable to meet Keith's gaze
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- gOD JUST
- keith being uncharacteristically tentative when he shows shiro the drawing later
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- Shiro mistakes it as sympathy for his shyness, but nope, the boy's just crushing hardcore
- Shiro has to clear his throat out a couple of times before he can manage a, "Nice job, it's... a good likeness"
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- i think that while keith is very talented, and can pull off realism, it's not his Preferred Medium because he tends to exaggerate details and use sort of eccentric shapes
- coloring outside the lines, etc etc
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- Interesting! :0
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- i love artist keith a lot akdfake so i have thought this through
- like he prefers charcoal and chalks to paints
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- Love this boy........
- I actually have a hard time settling on a major for Shiro, he's obviously suited to work-intense fields like astrophysics
- But I also think he'd make a fantastic social worker???
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- a good smart boy
- i guess my train of thought is that it's Not Voltron so why limit myself to space??
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- VERY TRUE, I just have a hard time divorcing Shiro from his love of the stars
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- oh no that's totally fair
- let shiro be a space boy, he deserves it
- i love keith as a space boy too
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- Space Boyfriends but also boyfriends whose passions might lie in different areas given different circumstances
- God
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- helping each other study and being genuinely interested in each other's passions
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- Now I just want to say "fuck the D&D campaign" and focus on Shiro and Keith being awful roommates
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- keith is basically an astrophyscisist (FUCK SPELLING) because he keeps stealing shiro's textbooks for light reading
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- OK BUT WHILE YOU'RE DOING THAT
- my point referencing keith's preferred art style was
- that he goes out of his way with this particular piece because he KNOWS shiro is uncomfortable and he just
- wants to try and make shiro see himself like keith sees him
- and so he doesn't skip out on any details
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- Uhhh thinkin' 'bout right before the whole Love Confession debacle happens
- Shiro and Keith are studying on the couch together and Keith's concentrating so hard on his stuff that he only notices when Shiro's head lands on his shoulder, textbook still in his lap, reading glasses askew on his face
- He looks so tired and there are these dark circles under his eyes and Keith doesn't have the heart to wake him up and herd him off to bed so he just
- Lets him sleep
- And he does that thing where he's nuzzling into the crook of Keith's neck in his sleep and Keith is INTERNALLY COMBUSTING
- I'm sorry, I just eat sappy shit like that up
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- oh god
- oH GDO
- keith would literally die
- he wouldn't want to overstep any boundaries by like
- encouraging further cuddling
- but he can't help himself when his fingers linger a little on shiro's temples when he gently pries off his reading glasses
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- and he only brushes his hair off his forehead a little bit it's not super invasive
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- and if he shifts so shiro's leaning a little more on his chest because his shoulders are bony and not fun to sleep on, well
- it just happened
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- Shiro's contented little sigh is so worth it, though
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- god!!!!!
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- It's physically impossible for Keith to get any actual work done with Shiro napping on his chest (jesus fucking christ) and he's so warm and solid and every time he shifts a little Keith holds his breath because he's afraid to wake him up
- (Conveniently, Shiro's ear ends up right where Keith's heartbeat would be, shut the fuck up I'm a sap)
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- good thing shiro's asleep, because keith's heart is beating a mile a minute the whole time
- keith is just starting to think that maybe, maybe he could get away with putting his arm around shiro when he does actually start to wake up for real
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- I was gonna go with, "joke's on him, the phone rings and Shiro immediately startles awake and Keith DIES"
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- his arm in MIDAIR
- "there.....was a spider on your shoulder"
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- And Shiro is an idiot but he recognizes that it wasn't no pillow he was sleeping on
- (The call was a wrong number, as soon as he hangs up there's awkward silence where Keith brings up the spider line)
- Shiro apologizes, because of course he would, and says Keith should have just shoved him off instead of making a nuisance of himself
- "I hope that wasn't too uncomfortable for you, I'm kind of a cuddly sleeper."
- He noticed, thanks for the info tho
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- "it's fine, i don't mind." and ofc keith is NOTORIOUS for saying "it's fine" or "i'm fine" in literally any given situation where he's probably not actually fine
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- Shiro gets his Self-Help Voice when he answers, "I'm fine is almost always code for something is wrong."
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- but he means it and this is the closest he can get to saying "you should go back to sleep, and let me hold you because that was the best twenty minutes i've had in ages"
- so he just shrugs and makes an excuse to go do something else
- walk the dog
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- I really want there to be a """platonic""" excuse for them to sleep together and just CUDDLE
- Give Keith some of that tender loving care
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- their heat stops working and keith's delicate desert thriving system can't handle the cold
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- FUCK YES
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- keith, teeth chattering, bundled in a bunch of blankets "shiro, i might actually contract hypothermia"
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- Shiro, faint smile on his face, fondness in his heart, pure love in his eyes: You don't know the meaning of cold
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- (rude and unecessary)
- N E WAY
- keith is already cuddling with both dogs...................it only makes sense for shiro to join in
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- This is the one thing he can be condescending about
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- plus it's only gonna get colder at night?? so why don't they just
- pile into shiro's bed
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- Shiro tries not to think anything of it but he thinks VERY MUCH A LOT OF IT
- I'm not saying he wakes up with Keith's ass pressed against his crotch but I am saying that biology doesn't give a fuck about what you think is mortifying
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- they definitely ended up spooning and shiro definitely wakes up ass-to-crotch with keith
- also derailing slightly but
- i am not a shiro roleplayer so i don't know
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- (YET)
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- what are the chances that shiro would have v-card bandit'd keith early into their friendship
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- HONESTLY...
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- from MY perspective i have Doubt™ but at the same time
- i could see keith convincing shiro it was in his best interest and that it's not going to have an effect on their relationship
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- Honestly, this is going to sound shitty but I honestly think that he can only do that for people he doesn't necessarily care about, certainly not in the same way that he cares about Keith
- Keith is an incredibly important person for him and I imagine they've been talking for quite some time before they officially get to meet so
- It's a lot different with him than just some rando he likes but doesn't exactly feel super attached to
- So I don't think he could do it, even if Keith assured him it wouldn't impact their friendship because it would very much change things on Shiro's end
- BUT ALSO IN A SITUATION WHERE HE WOULD??? THAT BEAUTIFUL DRAMA™ THO!!!
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- no!!! i wanted your input because i was thinking about "what if fwb to more sheith" earlier when you first mentioned v-card bandit shiro but
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- What if... FWB to more Sheith AU
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- i think keith would THINK he could pull off the no strings attached but i also think shiro has the self-awareness to know he can't
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- YEP
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- OoOOH
- that's different tho
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- You think Shiro wouldn't be a warm and inviting presence to insecure virgins no matter the AU?
- Ya boi definitely bandit'd some v-cards at the Garrison, guaranteed
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- oh definitely
- he accidentally dives in too deep when it comes to keith
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- He's always been able to compartmentalize sex =/= emotional connection and can just be a fun thing but then..............
- It happens again
- And again
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- and again
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- And this isn't just some one-time lay from an admiring younger student, this is messy and complicated and scary because he cares so much
- And he's desperately trying to convince Keith (and himself) that it doesn't have to be more than just a way to pass the time
- But before they know it, they're living together and their animals are attached and they're so inextricably intertwined that separating is unthinkable
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- god!!!
- in a twist on my usual take on things, keith is loosely confident that they can have more
- he doesn't push shiro, of course
- he doesn't do anything different than what he's been doing. which is being his (close) friend and someone he bangs occasionally
- meanwhile loving and admiring shiro unabashedly
- and silently daring him to turn him away
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- (He wouldn't. He couldn't. But he doesn't know how to move forward.)
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- it happens so slowly that it slips beyond both of their
- fuck what's it called??
- something about a threshold
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- Oooooh
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- it's a psychology term
- ANYWAY it happens so slowly that they hardly notice until they're in too deep
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- one time, keith stays the night in shiro's bed after a particularly vigorous round of ugly bumping
- then, it's suddenly not a big deal if he stays the night because they're up late studying
- then, he's joining shiro on his morning run, since he's there anyway
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- And then Keith is just there all the time, it's not unusual for Shiro to head to bed first and have Keith join him afterward, they don't need to be doing anything indecent for Shiro to feel comfortable with Keith there, and on the off chance that he does end up staying the night somewhere else, he finds he can't stand the quiet of just him on his own
- I think at some point, Shiro would try getting up to his old ways with somebody different (say, Matt), and it should be no problem because it's not like they're dating, they're explicitly not exclusive, but he still feels guilty, like he's doing something wrong, and he can't get into the right mood. Nothing happens. There has to be something wrong with him.
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- meanwhile, keith never bothers with anyone else, hardly puts forth the effort to learn the names of his classmates. and it's not like he's actively trying to corner shiro into a relationship, it just so happens that he's not really interested in getting up to that sort of thing with anyone.
- of course he doesn't throw a fit when he finds out shiro had trouble trying to hook up with someone else, because their relationship isn't like that. he just expresses the appropriate concern and asks if he doesn't maybe want to try something, to see if there's really something wrong, before he wasts a trip to the medbay
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- Hahahahahaha oh my god, these fuckers
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- right!!!!!!!1
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- Shiro, an idiot, doesn't see how it would help but agrees because this man is a scientist and he has to exhaust every other option before moving on, so Keith gets to work, and
- Immediately
- Boom
- Problem solved
- Crisis averted
- Ain't that the damndest thing
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- they bang and there's fireworks and it's amazing
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT IT'S AMAZING
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- and when it's all said and done keith wraps shiro up in his arms and everything
- just like
- CASUAL
- like it's nothing
- Sashenka - 12/03/2017
- And Shiro's never really had that done before and now he finally gets to feel warm and safe and protected and that's when he finally has the realization
- Oh
- Huh
- Guess I'm in love with Keith
- So that's what it was
- And he's more relieved to have an explanation than he is Shocked and Awed because... honestly everybody saw this coming
- There's a betting pool
- Lance just lost 50 dollars
- juce! - 12/03/2017
- i’m laughing bc i know the general idea was this takes place over months but also it realistically could’ve happened in 3 weeks
