Fics like Some Nights Feel Longer Than Others, But the Mornings Still Find Us Here

Single parent, Keith AU that I didn't know I needed to write. He is a mess and struggling; lord knows he needs a break. Shiro and Adam make Keith go out more. Cue a meet-cute with our favourite dork. He wasn’t angry at her, not really. He was furious at everything: at the space where his mother used to be, at the father who never showed, at the universe for handing him a baby he wasn’t ready for. But Kira didn’t know any of that. She just knew her big brother had raised his voice. Keith closed his eyes and inhaled shakily through his nose. “Okay.” He forced the breath out slowly. “Okay, we’re not doing that again. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” Kira’s cries softened into hiccups. Keith tucked her against his chest, her cheek hot and wet against his skin. She was so small. Too small for his anger. Too small for any of this. He started rocking, slowly at first, then in a steady rhythm. The chair creaked. The room swam in dim moonlight. “Please, Kira,” he whispered, voice cracking. “Just… help me out, okay? I’m trying. I’m really trying.”
