1. When Shiro has a nightmare, which is pretty often, he’ll sneak to Keith’s room and climb in his bed. He thinks Keith’s asleep and tries not to wake him as he cuddles up to his back, but in actuality Keith was waiting for Shiro and is wide awake. This has become a common occurrence, and eventually Keith just offers for Shiro to sleep with him every night. Shiro got quite embarrassed but also confused as to how Keith knew, considering the black paladin always woke up way before him.

2. Keith always had problems sleeping. But when Shiro started slipping into his bed in the middle of the night, he found himself slowly getting more and more sleep each night. The red Paladin used to have insomnia pills on Earth, and had been suffering ever since he ran out, but then Shiro became his insomnia pill.

3. Every Saturday they have a “just me and you” training date in the training deck. It always ends with Keith moaning “Takashi..” and all the other paladins stay as close to the other side of the ship as possible.

4. Keith is the only one that calls Shiro “Takashi”, but he generally only does it when they’re intimate.

5. Keith nicknamed him “Shiro” in the Garrison and it just stuck. Keith said it so often that all their mutuals started saying it.

6. Keith is basically a PTSD service dog. He can tell right away when Shiro is going into a panic attack, and knows the exact techniques to stop it as quick as possible.

7. Shiro wrote a letter about his day, every single day, to Keith during the kerberos mission up until his capture, and planned on giving them all to him when he returned. He didn’t want Keith to miss a single day of his life after they had gotten together, but he then lost them after his capture.

    During a infiltration of a Galra base, Shiro found the letters. He stuck them in a compartment in the black lion to keep them safe.

    Keith and Shiro had a cute picnic in the privacy of the black lion, and Shiro handed him the letters. It took Keith about 5 hours to read them all, but he refused to leave until he finished them. Shiro fell asleep in Keith’s lap half way through and it was one of the happiest moments of his life.

8. Shiro whispers “Shiro loves you, baby..” into Keith’s ear every night as he cuddles up to him. Keith always chuckles as he rolls his eyes before saying, “I love you too, Takashi.” with a small smile.

   Shiro always gets upset that Keith won’t say, “Keith loves you too, baby.”, but Keith doesn’t want to steal his thing. That’s special to Takashi Shirogane, the love of his life.
