I Love You Keith

Baby Pics

James POV 

Shiro went to the baby box and pulled out a photo album. "Oh no!" Keith groaned. He fell into my lap, covering his face with his hands. "What? How bad can they be?"  "You haven't seen them. And there's a lot of them." Shiro sat next to me "Yeah. And he can't get back at me because I hid all of mine." He opened the book and started flipping through the pages. "Where is it, I know its here somewhere." He muttered. Keith groaned and sat up "No Shiro, not that one." We readjusted so that he was sitting comfortably in my lap, and my arms were around him. "Aha! I found it! Look!" Shiro showed me the picture, and I burst out laughing. "Oh god, that's adorable!" (Cue pic from top). "Look at him! I think we still have that somewhere." Adam said. "You guys have to show me more. Where's my phone? I need proof of this or Kinkade will never believe me." "No! It's bad enough that you're seeing them, they're not seeing them too!" Keith said, moving around in my lap. "Wha-hey!" I said as he pulled my phone out of my pocket. "Nope. Not happening." He put the phone between his legs right up against his crotch. "No pictures of the pictures." I pouted "Boo." Shiro continued flipping through the book. 

"Oh, this one! He sang the entire song when he was like two! Or three. One of the two." "Oh god. Do you have a video?" Adam shook his head "No. Its one of those spontaneous things little kids do, and by the time you think to record it, its already over. Oh, show him the hide and seek one." Keith slumped down in my lap "Oh god. I'm leaving." He got up and stormed off to his room. "What hide and seek one?" Shiro laughed "I almost forgot about those! Me and Keith were playing hide and seek at one of our first foster homes, and they took some pictures. Look."

I laughed "Oh my god. He was adorable." "Yeah. We had some more, but he hid them. Which sucks, cause they were the best ones." Adam said with a smile. Shiro stood and stretched "Well, I'm gonna go order dinner. James can you get the emo?" I shrugged "Sure." I went to Keith's room and found him lying on the bed covered in blankets "Keith, Shiro said it's dinner time." I heard a muffled "No." come from the pile. "Keith, come on." "No." I sighed and sat on the bed. "Keith?" "No." "Babe?" "No." I started poking him "Babe, come on." "No." "Keith." "Noo!" I started tickling him "Come on Kitten." Muffled giggles came from the blanket. "James, stop!" "Nope. Come on Kitten, it's time for dinner." "No!" I sighed, and pulled back the blanket. "Yes." He grabbed the blanket and covered himself again "No!" I pulled back the blanket again and grabbed him. "Yes." I said "And give me back my phone." He squirmed in my grip "No!" I smiled and pulled him into a kiss. When I pulled back he was red, and I was smiling "Yes." He sighed "Fine." He pulled my phone out from him back pocket and got up. "But no more baby photos." I nodded "No more photos. Now come on, I'm hungry." "We ate less than three hours ago." I raised an eyebrow "So you're not hungry?" "No, I am." We left the room, and when we got to the kitchen, Shiro was hanging up the phone. "Hey, you got him out! Nice. Well, we're having pizza." He opened a cabinet "In the meantime, who wants a drink?" "Ooh, me!" Keith said."But we're underage." Shiro pulled down a few bottles "Oh don't worry, yours will be like, 99% coke and a bit of beer. And it's not even that strong." Adam nodded "Yeah, its safe. But you my live, can't have any." Shiro pouted "Why not?" Adam wrapped his arms around him "Because, you're going to space in four months." Keith head whipped up "Four months? I though you didn't go until August?" "Well, they decided to move it up. We should be back in a year, year and a half." I could see the pain in Keith's eyes "But-but you'll miss my birthday. And Adam's. And Christmas. A year and a half? A YEAR AND A HALF? WHY?" Keith yelled. Shiro just stayed blank faced "Keith, I have to do this. Me and Adam already talked about it. I can't control it. But hopefully, with this new launch date, I'll be back in time for you 18th birthday. If I were to leave in August like originally planned, I would miss two birthdays for each of you." "Fine." Keith growled. He stormed off to his room. "So..should I go get him?" i asked, and Adam shook his head "No, he needs time to be with his thoughts. He'll come out when the food is here." "Of the closet or his room?" Shiro deadpanned, and we laughed. "But you seriously don't know why they moved it?" Shiro shook his head "No, Sanda just told me. But his reaction will be nothing likes Pidge's. It a few day after her birthday, and its her dad and brother. " "Shit. She's gonna be pissed." Adam nodded "Yeah. And there's also the risk of them not coming back. And, Keith and Shiro already lost their parents. Imagine what would happen to him if he lost Shiro too." Shiro held Adam's hand "But that's not going to happen. I'm coming back to you guys. I promise." "Takashi, don't make promises you can't keep." "No, I'm going to keep this promise. No matter how long it takes, I'm coming back to you." Adam nodded, and Shrio pulled him into a hug. I had totally forgotten about Kerberos until now. Keith would be crushed if he lost Shiro.

Dinner was awkward and tense, but afterwards it was fun. Shiro got a bit tipsy, and started using cheesy pick up lines on Adam. "Are you from Tennessee? Cause you're the only 10 I see." This caused Adam to blush, and not to long after, he took him to their room. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked. Keith had been pretty quiet the whole time, and he had barely eaten. He nodded "Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired. I'm going to bed." As I watched him walk away, I sighed. I knew he was lying, he just didn't want to tell me. He would, eventually, and I'd be there for him when he was ready. Until then, I'd wait.

Sorry if the chapters lately haven't been the best quality lately. I have plans for the big parts, but the inbetween have been improvised and touch and go.  There will also be several chapters at the end with all the images used in the story
