[Keith doesn't think anything of the wording, not until Shiro adds that second part. His heart catches in his chest when he gets to the last step coming back down.
Right. Another reminder that this is one sided. He needs to get over this and quick. Nevermind that he's thought about Shiro like that for... well, years now, when he looks back.
Keith knows the smart thing is to stay together. He wishes he could justify any reason to stay in another room, stay outside even. He knows Shiro won't go for that. He'll have to make that time himself when he can. He swallows down the lump in his throat and heads where Shiro is, seeing the comm interface. He's doing his level best to keep his expression carefully detached. Guarded. That wall that went up when he left the original conversation hasn't completely come down.]
