Summary
As he nears, he notices the way the blade stands with Keith, the proximity. He notes the soft touches that linger just a little too much for Shiro’s liking. He sidles up beside Keith and does his best not to cringe when he overhears what the blade is saying.

Or Shiro gets jealous and Keith maybe finds it a little hot.

Summary
The Garrison is behind him, along with all of his hopes and dreams, keeping with it his shattered heart. Ahead of him lies nothing but two hundred square miles of a barren wasteland, a dirty old shack, and survival.
Maybe he’s going a little mad, but without anyone around to tell him otherwise, he can’t quite say for sure. All he knows is that throwing himself into making some kind of survivable life out here softens the deep wound in his heart that likes to smart and burn in the night, and the sense of accomplishment in repairing the old shack eases the bone deep loneliness that’s hung over him like a shroud since he left the Garrison.
The little dandelion watches his half-crazed repairs all the while, as indifferent to it all as it is the mouldy old foam mattress it’s taken root in.

Summary
A series of poems for desert Keith week, focusing on Keith's search for answers after the Kerberos mission, and the way inhospitable, hard places can offer stark clarity and refining fire:
"When it storms, you get the sense something is out there
purring like a wildcat in the desert. Maybe you’re going mad,
but you swear it promises he won’t be gone forever."- Language:

Another thing people don’t often understand: the desert is a wild and unpredictable place. One minute it could be a beautiful, sunny day, and the next moment it’s caught in a downpour.
Keith felt like maybe there was a desert living inside him.
