[ and that's the thing that makes him go still, stopping his kisses as he looks over at keith, startled by his words. kosmo looks from noctis to keith, then wiggles over to lick keith's face, too -- he doesn't understand much of what's happening, only that it's important! but noctis looks like he's seriously about to tear up, his hand over keith's stomach as if he can feel their baby grow.
theirs, his and keith's, and noctis has sworn to love him forever and ever -- he loves him more than anything and anyone else he's ever met, and this promise that he utters is poignant and bittersweet. they both have never had the best childhoods, their formative years marked by loneliness, and yet they'd found their way to each other. keith had accepted him wholly, flaws and temper and all. keith sees him for who he really is, and his heart thuds against his chest.
they're going to be better than their parents. they're going to give this child all the attention and the love that they'd never had, so that she would never feel alone or cast out, and he's pulling him into his arms again, pressing his face into the crown of his head. ]
