Summary
“I can't,” Keith breathed, “keep pretending anymore, Lance.”
The way the sentence was delivered was the same way you'd expect someone to utter their last words, breathy and with abandon. You had nothing to lose, and you just want them to let them out desperately.
“Pretending.” Lance shaped the term carefully in his mouth. He stopped for a tick before continuing, “to… like my family? Or like, the cooking? Because I know it was Rachel's turn to cook but she's getting better.”
Keith let out a laugh that, if Lance had to be completely honest, sounded more like a cry for help.

He only had a few moments, and as the drums slowed and his bassist cut off for the bridge, Keith stopped singing. His mouth hung open as the crowd continued to sing, stopping once they realized he wasn’t singing. Lance furrowed his brows. Keith’s chest heaved.
“I’m sorry, Lance. Every single song is about you.”

Summary
Lance had been dealing with Hanahaki Disease for some time now. It had started to infest when he fell out of the healing pod, into Allura’s arms. It had been a slow infestation, the original discomfort only being a dull pain in his chest and lungs, easily ignored when compared to the bruises and aches from battle and training. Over a few months of constant war and discovery of the universe, his symptoms grew and started to show outside of his body. Beginning with gentle tickles in the back of his throat when he talked for too long, growing into small, soft petals that began to lurch out with hiccups and coughing fits.

Krolia got up and sat down next to Keith, “I saw some of that, too. People on Earth aren’t the nicest. And that’s comparing them to the Garla,” She cracked a smile, looking up to Keith as he crosses his arms, “And, no, I don’t care. It’s normal, and it’s who you love. Love whoever the hell you want to, Keith. I mean, I loved a human,” Her smile grew before she got up to attend to the fire.
A semi-canon season 6 fic where Lance and Keith both experience Hanahaki Disease.

Summary
Something about the casual way Lance spoke to him, with easy grins and direct words that made Keith feel comfortable, but at the same time put him on edge. Like he wasn’t supposed to be feeling this ok around someone, not him. Keith, who barely had friends until college, shouldn’t have someone who could coax him into such a sense of security that he found himself agreeing to do things he’d never thought he’d do.
