    Summary

    Occasionally he’d glance up, catch Lance watching, and he’d smile, soft and private in a way that was growing increasingly more common as his self—imposed distance fell away with time, the more his hands reached for others to hold onto, let himself be touched, kisses on his head and cheek. Lance would feel that familiar heat licking at his cheeks, his neck, and he’d go back to paying attention to the speaker, entirely aware of Keith’s eyes tracing his face, his posture.

    So.

    Yeah.

    Things had been different. Not bad. But different.

    But god help him, the curiosity was killing him.

    ----

    Or, Keith keeps drawing things on papers, and Lance is going insane.

    Summary

    It was supposed to be like any other job--get in, kill the bastard, and get out. Easy-peasy. Nothing to it. But when Keith infiltrates Prince Lance's castle on a mission to kill him, he finds himself only filled with bewilderment.

    "Why would anyone want this man dead?"

    Or Keith is an assassin sent to murder Lance, but finds maybe he really doesn't want to?

    Summary

    "As much as Lance was sure Keith hated him, there was a familiarity between them. Keith knew Lance. He knew his habits, his movements, what made him laugh or cry or pissed. He was good at reading him.

    So Lance knew that Keith knew when he said 'Go away' in that weak, small voice, he didn’t mean it."

    Lance finds a pocketknife one night and falls back into old habits. Keith walks in and is insistent on helping him.

    Summary

    Thud, thud, thud, goes the sound of hurried footsteps in the hallway behind him, soon disappearing behind a turn. Lance releases a small sigh of relief, knowing that the hostages are safe beyond that point.

    Drip, drip, drip, goes the blood.

    Summary

    But over time, he learned to trust his team. Not with his secret — not yet — but enough to admit bits and pieces, press fragments of his experiences into their hands. The exhilaration of swimming with sharks that swarmed near the island. The welcoming feeling of home in the ocean. The freedom of speeding through the waves. Small things, quiet things, but truths to him nonetheless. He eventually worked up the courage to even part with his pelt, briefly, in training, or eating, or simply bonding. Found the strength to set the jacket out of arm’s reach.

    Perhaps the choice was foolish.

    Because now his second greatest fear has come true — he may not have lost his pelt, true, but he is now bonded in eternity with another. When Keith handed Lance his coat, he unknowingly claimed Lance, as a prize and as a mate.

    A feat of fate and magic that cannot be undone.

    Summary

    “Do you ever wonder what happens when we die?”

    Keith blinks. He opens his mouth to answer, but stops himself. He looks up at the unfamiliar stars, tracing random constellations. There’s a sword, where Orion usually is during Earth summers. And a lick of flame, replacing the Big Dipper. The brightest star in the sky shines red.

    “No,” Keith says softly. “It’s — dangerous. Letting myself think about that. We’re too close, you know? I don’t want my last thought to be panicking about what’s to come. I want it to be — not that. I don’t know.”

    “Oh.”

    Keith waits for Lance to offer an explanation, a reason for his curiosity, or even a subject change. When nothing comes Keith shifts, propping himself up on his elbow and glancing over at the red paladin.

    “Why do you ask? Just curious?”

    It’s a long time, again, until Lance answers, but this time Keith knows he’s not asleep. He’s tense, lying ramrod straight, head centred on his pillow and arms hooked over his blanket. His brown eyes — almost black in the dark night — stare straight up, but there’s something off about his expression, something fixed and plastic.

    “I was surprised, is all. It was — nothing like I expected.”

    Summary

    Lance butted in. “So it was a message!”

    Pidge made a face. “Well, I think so. I still need to run it through the Altean databases on the ship to translate some of the harder stuff. But as of right now, I’m not quite sure what it’s trying to say.”

    Keith huffed. “Then what’s the point of getting us all in here, then, if you’re not sure?”

    “It’s best to be prepared, Keith,” Shiro said pointedly, not appreciating his little brother’s demeanor. “Pidge has been working through the night, and felt it was important to let us know what was going on.”

    Summary

    “I need a favour and if you’re annoying about it I’ll never tell your nosy ass anything about my life ever again,” Keith announces.

    Shiro pauses for a second to consider how to play this.

    He could play it cool. Act like he doesn’t care, like maybe he’ll help Keith if he can squeeze it into his schedule.
    He glances down at his phone. He has zero new notifications. (Adam is doing his internship in the Amazon rainforest and has zero service, and Matt lost his phone for the eighth time this year, so. To be expected.) He is fooling no one.

    He sighs. “Tell me what you need, goober.”

    Keith hesitates. His hands wring together nervously, and he won’t meet Shiro’s eyes. Shiro shifts slightly, sensing that the matter here is a little more serious than either of them are letting on, and pats the seat next to him.

    “Talk to me,” he says quietly.

    “Imaskinglancetogooutwithme,” Keith rushes out.

    Summary

    He winces. This one is…bad. He’s reminded, painfully, of the first time he ever witnessed Lance have an episode, hunched over a toilet bowl and shaking so bad Keith had been convinced he was seizing. The then-Blue Paladin had begged him, in between gags and heaves, not to tell anyone. Keith, who had only really known him for six months, six months of near-constant arguing broken up only by rare moments of true teamwork, who had barely considered them friends, had already been halfway out the door, Coran’s name on his tongue.

    Keith had been scared shitless. He didn’t know what was wrong, but he knew enough to know that it was serious, that Lance was in real danger. His mind flashed to poisoning from a backstabbing ally, alien sickness a human immune system couldn’t fight off. A million different worst-case scenarios had rushed through his head, making Keith want to throw up himself.

    But the terror in Lance’s eyes had scared him a thousand times more than whatever was wrong with him. So he had swallowed his fear, then, and kept his mouth shut, placing a tentative hand on Lance’s back as he vomited and carefully watched the door.

    Summary

    “So I have space flu?” Lance muttered.

    “A Talerian space flu, I suppose,” Coran replied, chipper as ever.

    “Wait,” Pidge took a few steps away from Lance, their arms held out in defense and eyes wide, “it’s not contagious is it?”

    “Not to worry!” Coran quickly placated, arms folding behind his back. “It only spreads through very specific means. We don’t need to worry about quarantining or anything of the sort!”

    “Oh thank god,” Lance sighed breathlessly, once again leaning heavily on Keith next to him.

     

    Or: Lance contracts a virus from a recently allied planet and Keith struggles to keep his distance from him. He wants to care for his boyfriend, but their relationship is still a secret. Good thing it’s not contagious though, right?

    … Right?

    Summary

    “What did you say you were looking for, again?”

    Keith closes his eyes and tips his head back, letting it thunk gently on the thin wall under the big window, in the corner of the apartment where they’ve shoved their bed. He lets his eyes go blurry, lets the stars they stuck on the ceiling before they did anything else turn into bright green dots. They’re real constellations. The two of them spent hours on them; Lance on Keith’s shoulders, tripping and shouting and laughing.

    “I need tickets,” Keith says quietly. He turns his gaze slowly to Lance, who is sleeping soundly again, who has bags under his eyes, whose hands twitch every few seconds, who frowns deeply. “And we can’t — these are the only ones I could find. That I can even pretend to afford. I need it to be —” He swallows. “I need you to tell me they’re real.”

    Pidge is quiet for a moment. The only sound is her breathing, her nail tapping slowly on the edge of her screen.

    “The link is exactly what it says it is.”

    Summary

    He stomps down the hallway, ignoring an amused Shiro who says something along the lines of “Looking bright eyed this morning, Lance,” and keeping his eyes locked straight ahead.

    He will get answers. And apologies. Many of them, in fact.

    He pauses right before he enters the training room, messing around with the lockpad settings so he can override the automatic function like Coran showed him.

    This feels like a door slam moment.

    Once the manual opening has been enabled, he takes a breath, then kicks open the doors with a bang, startling Keith so hard he nearly gets brained by the gladiator.

    “So I guess love is dead,” he says once Keith has called for the simulation to end, glaring daggers at the man in question.
