Oh. He's made him worry. He hadn't meant to do that. Somehow though, seeing that expression on Keith's face, hearing the uncertainty in his voice, it settles something in Shiro. His expression softens and he shakes his head, barely a movement at all, not wanting to lean away from Keith to manage it. Brushing the back of his fingers along his cheekbone lightly, he smiles.
"I want to. I want you to know." It's important that Keith understands it. "I want you to know that I want you. I want you to know that you're everything to me." Keith is the one who has always been there, each time his eyes have opened when he thought he'd never see the light of day again. It's been Keith's voice guiding him out of the darkness. Shiro needs Keith to know it, just how much he means to him, how much Shiro needs him, how much he loves him. He remembers those words spoken to the other him through the haze of the witch's control.
"I love you too, Keith." The way he phrases it is probably evidence enough that he remembers, at least to some extent, that battle, that day. "I should've said it before now."
