sheith au where Shiro gets caught in a downpour while out for a run so he takes shelter under the awning of a small bakeryâowned by Keith, of course, who insists he come in out of the rain
Shiro declines coffee and pastries but takes the warm bread and hot herbal tea Keith offers instead when he explains he doesnât like sweets
Itâs warm and quiet inside, full of pleasant smells and even better company. Shiro stretches and browses the bookshelf in the corner, chatting intermittently with Keith while he waits out the rain. The skies are clear for a good fifteen minutes before he notices
(Keith noticed when he came out from the back with more quiche but didnât bother to point it out)
Shiro runs off with promises to come back with cash the next day, which Keith waves off as unnecessary but Shiro comes back every day until heâs tried every savory item the bakery makes
Heâs always in running shorts and tank tops, stopping by on his run and jogging the rest of the way back awkwardly clutching a bag or box of food
âuntil finally he shows up in a cable knit sweater and well fitted jeans, pinker in the face than he is mid-run, and invites Keith to a reading by one of the authors on the bakeryâs bookshelf
So they go together and linger afterwards, and by the time they head out the door the bookstore is nearly empty and itâs starting to rain
âThis is familiar,â Shiro says with a laugh as they stand under the awning.
Keithâs hand brushes his. âWorked out pretty well last time, donât you think?â
Keithâs hand brushes his. âWorked out pretty well last time, donât you think?â
âThis time,â Shiro says, leaning down, âis even better.â
Keith meets him halfway.
Keith meets him halfway.
