Shiro is ready to lay it out and explain it to Keith when he sees it click in the younger man's eyes. Okay. Good. That makes it at least slightly easier, doesn't it? Except there's Keith blushing at him, and Shiro can feel his own cheeks heating.
It's hard not to picture it, stepping close and caging Keith against the wall, of finally tasting those lips, finding out what it will feel like to have Keith in his arms, to kiss him. But no. Deep breath. Rein it in.
But as he watches Keith, sees that fumbling, something in him softens. Maybe that's why what he says next is probably more than he ought to say, "It's not a matter of not wanting to." It's a confession he only realizes the moment he's finished speaking the last word, and he abruptly falls silent.
