Chapter Text
lance woke up from a nightmare leaving him in a cold sweat and breathing hard "k-keith!" he couldn't explain why he called for keith, maybe it was because he'd been helping him feel more happy
he got up because he needed someone right now, he held himself tightly as he went to keiths room and knocked lightly, then alittle harder when he got no responds
"w-who's there?" keith asked sleepily
"it's lance..." he answered quietly
keith sighed "what do you want and why am I now up at three AM?" he sounded a little mad
"I- well-um, can I j-just come in?" keith could hear something in lances voice sadness? fear?
"fine!" lance opened the door slowly and saw keith face door in his pillow "you know it's really late, why are YOU up mister 'I need beauty sleep'?"
"I-well I woke up... I just had a bad dream, ok?" keith put his head off the pillow and rolled his eyes before looking at lance who had tears in his eyes
"well wanna come sit down?" he patted the space next to him and lance came over and sat down "want to tell me what the dream was about...?"
lance hummed sadly "s-someone told me I was horrible and that I deviser to d-die for everything I am and that n-no one can ever know what's w-w-wrong with me if I really want to be a good teammate or even a good person..." lance felt hot tears go down his face as keith pulled him closer into a hug
"you're not horrible and you are a good teammate no matter what you are." he sighed again "can you tell me who was telling you these things?"
"y-you..."
"since when do you care what I or anyone thinks of you? plus you're perfect the way you are stupid, no ones perfect all the time."
"you are all the time..."
"I wish I was perfect, lance I could lest everything wrong with me if it means you would smile right now!" he hugged him closer
"I bet you couldn't name one thing!"
"do you really think I'm that cool?" keith laughed into lance
"well yeah..." lance blushed "you're the coolest person I know."
"i'm ungodly uncool." keith chuckled
"how so...?" lance questioned
"will you smile if I tell you?" keith rolled his eyes as lance nodded a bunch "well, I..." he mumbled the rest
"what was that?" lance looked up from keith's chest
"I wet the bed ok?!" lance pulled away from keith and looked at the space were keith's crotch would be
lance did smile "you did fine tonight." lance tried not to laugh at keith blush
"not only do I hate you but I also hate the fact that you're wrong." lance made a confused sound so keith sighed again and explained "protection, idiot."
"wow, does anyone else know?" lance was now back in keith's arms
"shiro and pidge,"
"I understand why shiro knows but why did pidge know before me?"
"...you can ask her that one..."
"fine!" lance crossed his arms pretending to be mad that he wasn't allowed to know why "by the way... CanIsleepheretonight!" he said it so fast keith almost didn't get it, almost.
keith hummed "only if you tell me what you meant about not being yourself in your dream to be a good teammate." he smiled
"... I wanted this to be cooler or never happen but well, I'm bi."
"I could tell." keith smirked and kissed lances head "night," he laied down with lance in his arms, yeah he could work with this...
