Shiro smiled. “I’m fine, Keith.”
Keith raised an eyebrow and Shiro sighed, closing his eyes. Keith always saw right through him. Ever since that day he missed breakfast and Keith had come looking.
Shiro had worried that Keith would think less of him if he knew, but of course Keith was nothing but understanding.
Keith always exceeded expectations.OR: Shiro copes with chronic pain in the middle of a space war with sentient robot lions. Totally normal.

Shiro’s frayed, coming apart after weeks of exams, work, stress, but he doesn’t want to burden Keith with his problems or the new twinge in his shoulder. His boyfriend sees through his facade and with soft words and gentle hands, he takes care of Shiro, reminding him that he is enough.

Remember, Keith,“ Lance had said, grabbing his shoulders firmly before Keith ventured towards the bus to go home. “You have a pretty face and long legs, so make sure you use them.”
“What about my ass?” Keith had asked, fear-ridden. “Is it fat enough to pull this off?”
“It’s fat enough if you back it up, okay?” Lance had reassured loudly; his face was as red as a cherry. “For the love of God, stop making me be gay by thinking about how your boy ass would look in slutty lingerie.”

“I wanted to see you too,” Shiro says. Before quickly adding, “But it’s not your fault! Things come up. It’s just, ah, you know. That time of the month.”
“You know I don’t care,” Keith says, not for the first time. “It’s work. Work’s like that.”
“Yeah.” The exhale is laced with frustration. “I just…”
“Hm?”
“Nothing, just… hopefully um, hopefully soon,” Shiro says. “I won’t have to do this anymore.”
Keith perks up. That’s not what he expected to hear. Shiro’s been going away for monthly work conferences for the whole two years Keith has known him. “Wait, really?”
“Hopefully,” Shiro says again.

Voltron is called on once again, saving Allura and the universe once and for all, but it comes at the price of the last five years of time. Uncertain what to do with himself now that he’s unretired and unmarried, Shiro finds himself adrift. One thing he knows for certain: Keith deserves better than what Shiro could give him.

Shiro and Keith are princes from neighboring kingdoms whose friendship blooms into something more, the kind of something they can only bear to admit to themselves in clandestine letters and precious gifts.
Not all secrets, however, are meant to be kept – and not all kings are meant to have queens.
New In Town - benicemurphy

Shiro has exactly two notable relationships in his new city — the absolutely adorable dog he follows on Instagram, and the equally (if not moreso) adorable grocery store employee who works behind the fish counter.

Not long before the Kerberos mission, Keith gets sick. Unwilling to tell Shiro the reason why, he chooses treatment instead, and gives up his intense feelings toward his friend. He’s warned that his illness has a chance of reoccuring in the future, but he doesn’t think about it again until they’re all on the Castleship, far from anyone who can help… and the pain in his chest returns.

Over the years Keith gets used to being alone. But during one particularly bad rut, and after days of chasing something that doesn’t exist—utterly exhausted and on the brink of desperation—he caves and stumbles to his laptop. He flips it open and stares at the page that’s been open for months—ATLAS: Heat Sharing and Non-Sexual Intimacy Partners Inc.
