[ He's not actually just looking to get his ego stroked, here. As incredible as it feels - something that carries through in his voice, low and rough, a little strained, barely more than a whisper - he still wants to be careful with Keith. Not because he thinks Keith can't take it, but because so many people haven't been careful with him, in so many different ways. Shiro's not somebody who's ever really put too much stock in the idea of virginity, but there'll only ever be one first time, and he'd find a way to stop time itself if that was what it took to make sure he does this right. To make sure that Keith knows how loved he is, how precious. How valued.
Keith is everything to Shiro. He wants to be sure Keith feels that, every moment of every day, but especially now. ]
