[ hard to miss the desperation in that apology, especially when keith has always had those annoyingly big puppy eyes.
he notices it, too, the actual apology itself. the fact that this is the first time he's hearing it from the other... he didn't think keith even knew how to apologize, to be honest. ]
This whole time, Keith. That's where. I told you I was infected, and all you could do was think about the mission, and what you couldn't do for it. I told you I was scared, and you bring up everyone else. You see my symptoms getting worse, and your first thought is about your roommates?
[ all of this he manages in a calm voice, more factual than accusatory. where he had been so frustrated two seconds ago, he is only tired now. pleading, in his own way. because he realizes now that despite keith's errors, he knows they were just that — mistakes. nothing intentional, nothing hurtful. and that gives him some hope. ]
Do you even realize what all that sounds like to me?
