Mutiny on Board The Voltron//KLANCE//

6

Keith sat in his cell alone. Shiro was taken to another room, separated from him. By Lance. Keith didn't know what to feel. Anger? Frustration? Betrayal? Either Way he didn't know. He just rotting away in his cell, with knees clenched to his stomach, his arms loosely wrapped around his knees. He heard footsteps above him. "Probably the crew." he sighed. A single tear fell down his cheek. Lance's face was burned into his mind. His smile. His freckles. His eyes. More tears fell down, staining his ripped uniform. He had struggled against Axca, who seemed...guilty almost. 

The footsteps became louder. Keith didn't look up. He couldn't care less what they could do to him. His cell door opened and warm arms wrapped him lovingly. Warm tan arms. Keith gasped as he looked at Lance holding him tightly, tears streaming down his face.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry." Keith held him closely, not caring if he committed mutiny or not. "I-I didn't want to do this. I met you and I fell for you...I couldn't go through with it. Lotor threatened Pidge a-and Hunk, so I was forced to-" Lance rambled on about how sorry he was. Keith didn't hear. He felt a rage growing his chest. Lance was too kind, too pure, to do something as low as this willingly. Lotor forced him. Keith breathed out a breath of relief.

"- I'm sorry, I love you..."

Keith's heart raced. I love you. Three words he wanted to hear so bad. Keith held Lance's face and wiped his tears away. "I forgive you, I love you too." Lance blushed as he dug his head into Keith's chest. "Come on, let's get out of here."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Both boys made their way into Shiro's cell, talking to the guards. They too, were forced by Lotor with this mutiny. "Seems like Lotor forced most of them." One guard shook his head. "All of the crew mates were forced. We are happy with Captain Kogane and Admial Shiro." Lance scowled. He wasn't the only one who was forced by Lotor. Keith looked at the men gratefully and ran to Shiro. Shiro smiled at Lance, who was blushing a bit, looking away in embarrasment. "I knew you would help us.I was encouraged by what you said." Keith looked at Lance lovingly as he shrugged."No biggie" he sighed bashfully. 

"No biggie? Lance, you're amazing! You helped two officers! You helped me save my brother!" Keith held Lance's hands in front of him. Lance blushed. "Anything for you..." he mumbled softly. Keith wanted so bad to kiss him right there, and wanted to slap himself for not doing it before. But he remembered Shiro was still there. Shiro only sighed"Young love..." He thought of Adam, and how pissed he was gonna be.

"You're gone for a few months, and THIS happens? Geez, Takashi."

Shiro sighed missing his lover. Lance and Keith snapped out of their...thing. Keith grabbed Shiro's arm and took him to Lotor's office, or what used to be Keith's study. Axca, Ezor, and Zethrid stood outside the door as guards for Lotor. Axca's eyes lit up at Lance came in. "Lance did you get them!?" Keith growled at how close she got to him. Lance looked at Axca, beaming. "Yeah! Thanks to you, without you I don't know where I would have found the keys to the cells." Axca shook her head,"No problem, Ezor and Zethrid helped me, we didn't like how Lotor was acting, and when it came to this, we knew he went to far." Ezor and Zethrid waved and smiled. Lance frowned. "Where's Narti?" The trio looked at the floor sadly. "Lotor found Narti sneaking the keys, she's in the cells." Everyone gasped. 

Shiro shook his head. "I'll deal with Lotor, Keith you-"

"No" Shiro looked surprised.

"No, I'm dealing with Lotor. He hurt my friends. He hurt Lance. He is not going to get away from it." Lance looked at Keith lovingly. He knew his mother would be proud. If she were there.

Shiro hesitated. "Alright, but be careful. Lotor isn't weak, he punched a higher rank." Keith chuckled."Commander Iverson, I know. I'm guessing you guys will get the rest of the... well, crew members. In the cells." Keith mentally slapped himself. He couldn't bring himself to call his friends prisoners. "I'm coming with you" Keith turned to face Lance." No way it's to dangerous, Lotor wants you." Lance shook his head." I want to be there with you." Keith took Lance's hands into his own." Alright, promise me you'll be safe." Lance nodded."I promise." They held each other's hands longer. Everyone coughed lightly, reminding the idiot lovebirds they're still there. Ezor and Axca were wiggling their eyebrows, like Pidge would.

 The boys blushed and Keith reluctantly let go of Lance. "Let's go." Shiro and the others nodded. Lance threw the keys to Shiro, who turned and ran towards the cells. Keith took Lance's hand again and pulled him towards the door. Lotor had the door open a bit, so they could see what was happening. He was looking at the books Keith used to own. Keith slowly opened the door and grabbed his sword. He ran towards Lotor, who turned around, his sword ready, and slashed Keith's face. Keith groaned,"That's gonna leave a scar." Blood seeped from his wound. Lance was forced to watch and almost cried. Lotor looked at Keith with rage in his eyes." How did you escape your cell?" he asked in fury. Keith smirked the best he could,"I had some...help" It was hard to speak because of his new scar.

Lotor sighed,"I have to do everything myself." He kicked Keith in his solar plexus, causing Keith to gasp for air and bend over. Keith took a few shaky steps back, groaning. Lotor slashed at his stomach, missing by a few inches. "I would finish you off, but I would rather you have a slow death. Keith plunged his sword into Lotor's rib, causing him to hiss in pain. Lotor's side was bleeding. Keith stood up, and plunged again. Lotor dodged it barely missing it. "Why are you doing this? I know you like Lance, but this is overboard." Lotor froze. Overboard? This is what he was doing, for his happiness. He wanted Lance, for his happiness. He was doing what was necessary for his life to be happy. "Y-You don't understand anything. I-I need Lance, he's so full of joy...I have to have that." Lotor lunged at Keith weakly. Keith dodged and disarmed him. Lotor groaned as Keith held his arms back, his foot digging into his shoulder. "Did you ever think about how Lance felt about that?" Lotor gasped. How Lance felt?"Doesn't he feel the same way?" Lance appeared at the door. Lotor paled,"Wha-?"

"I don't"

Lotor didn't do anything. He just stared at Lance. He stared at the crystal blue eyes. He realized something. He didn't love Lance. He loved his happiness. Lance expression held sorrow. As if he knew what Lotor realized. Suddenly, for Lotor, everything went black.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shiro, Pidge, Hunk, and many peopel from the crew raced towards the open door. They walked in to see Keith carrying a passed out Lotor, and Lance who was helping him. Everyone cheered as they saw Keith and Lance glance up. Lance cried out in happiness, tears streaming down his face. "Pidge! Hunk! You're okay!" He ran to them hugging them both tightly. Pidge awkwardly patted him on the back and Hunk scooped them both up, laughing. Keith smiled warmly at the sight. 

Lance glanced towards him and blushed. He let go of Hunk and walked towards Keith. He quickly enveloped him in a loose hug. Keith blushed at the sudden contact. "How's everyone, are they okay?" Keith asked. Lance smiled. "Yeah, everyone's fine. Except Narti, she's in the med bay." Keith sighed."What happened to her." Lance flinched. Apparently he didn't know exact;y what happened, but it was so bad she lost her eyesight. "Wait, what about you!? You have a scar!" Keith made the mistake of slightly touching the scar. He hissed.

"I guess it does hurt a bit. But I'm fine" Lance sighed in irritation." No your not, I see that scar. You're bleeding! I'm taking you to med bay right now!" Lance took Keith's hand as Pidge and Hunk gave him a thumbs up. They entered the med bay.

Lance grabbed bandages and stitches. He carefully stitch Keith's scar. "How did you learn how to do this?" Lance only smirked,"I have siblings who get into trouble." Keith scoffed,"Of course" When Lance finished stitching, he kept his hand on Keith's face, cupping his cheek. Keith remembered something."Lance, did you mean what you said in the cell?" Lance blushed when he remembered he sorta confessed to Keith. There's no going back now."Of course I did, why wouldn't I. D-Do you?" Keith reached up to his face and held Lance's hand.

"Of course I do, why wouldn't I?" Lance kissed Keith and the pain in his scar went numb.
