[ the request is unneeded. shiro isn’t the type to kiss and tell anyway, but he’s even far less inclined to share any bit of keith with anyone else, details of how sweetly willing he is in bed included. unbothered to point this out, however, shiro merely indulges the boy with a softening expression and a simple: ]

Okay. Your secret’s safe with me.

[ all of his secrets, really, not just the one’s happening in the bedroom. shiro knows how precious it is to be considered keith’s confidant. it took a lot of effort and a lot of understanding in the beginning, but now, they are years of progress away from the boy who once was so closed off that he was ready to be sent back to the group home. so his lips are sealed; he fully intends on keeping that trust. ]

You’ll need to help me, though. [ a smile and a gentle caress of his palm along keith’s thigh. ] The plug is in my locker.

[ meaning? shiro needs to move, which will, of course, dislodge the dam. ]

When I pull out… [ he grasps keith’s hand then, drawing it back down to their joining. ] … you stick your fingers inside to stop the spill.
