( he doesn't mean to keep throwing him for a loop, catch him off-guard in ways he hadn't thought to anticipate — but he has to admit, his reactions are kind of endearing in their own way, and he thinks he might actually be making some headway when it comes to cracking this particularly hard-shelled nut.
( and it isn't that he blames him for that, not in the slightest; no human being that had gone through all the things that keith had in the past would have come away without some walls to separate ( protect ) them from everything around them, because who knows what might come next? )
the lead-in to this supposed secret really isn't anything big, meant more to help keith open up than anything else, and shiro's smile is tentative and soft all at once as he takes one more step forward, wanting to close some of the distance between them. just because, again, he thinks he might actually be getting somewhere. ) A really important one. ( he nods solemnly, like he's already given something very important over for the other's consideration. )
You don't have to lie to me. Ever, about anything. ( he pauses, tries to let that sink in. ) I want you to feel like you can be honest with me. You can trust me.
