Klance Truth Fruit 2023 REVISED UPDATE

Chapter 2

Lance ran into his room and locked the door after spouting one of his closest kept secrets. Keith got up after Shiros talk, he felt bad for prompting him to confess. He didn't know Lance even had anything to say like that, he never came off as a person who'd seen hardships.. 

He rushed after Lance and knocked on the door to his room, "Lance? Lance I'm- I'm sorry, I had no idea-" He knocked on the door again when there was no response. "Lance..? Are you in there? What are you doing?" He had to tell the truth... "I-" Lance covered his mouth, shaking and trying to hold it in. But it came out anyway, "I'm hurting myself again-" He teared up leaning against the wall sliding to the ground. Why couldn't he keep anything in? Why was he confessing? Why was Keith the one to hear it? He hated not being able to lie.. Keith heard him slide down and dropped to his knees at the door. "Lance.. Let me in"

"No."

"Lance, please."

"No."

"Lance, do you hate me?"

"Of course not-"

"Then let me in.."

"I won't"

"Why?"

"I don't want you to see me like this." He said a little louder, a clear tone of fear in his voice. "I don't want you to pity me or think I'm weak. I care about you too much and I care about what you think of me-"

"I'm coming in." Keith used one of Pidges devices to overwrite Lances set password. When the door opened Lance was standing there, his jacket on and a annoyed but tired look on his face. Lance wiped his eyes and winced, "You saw me, now get out. I don't need this-"

"Lance shut up for a second." He door closed as he walked in gently pinning Lance to the wall, his hands on his shoulder "You wanna know what I really think of you?" He asked. 

"Yes."

 Lance answered immediately, blushing a little hearing himself sound so desperate. Keith leaned in close, hesitating for a moment and giving Lance the chance to push him away before closing the distance and kissing him. Pulling away after a second or two not wanting to overdo it. Lance blushed even darker and looked at him a little confused. This whole time all they had done was fight and argue, rarely getting along, and Keith.. Liked him? It made no sense..

Keith gently took Lances arm moving the sleeve up. Lance winced as the scars were revealed. All older and faded but clearly there. Keith looked up at him before moving Lances hand and kissing the back of it, moving down and leaving a last kiss on his wrist over the scars before pulling away. He wasn't good with people, he could never really see what they were thinkging, or what they really wanted. He never knew what to do when someone was upset so he just copied what he saw on tv and in movies.. But normally it worked for the best. He looked back up to Lance, hoping he'd made things at least a little better.. "Did you like it when I kissed you?"

"Yes.."

"Do you want me to kiss you again?"

"Yes..." Keith smiled a little kissing his cheek, "I care about you Lance. A lot. I know I don't show it, and I'm not really a good friend either but.. Till that weird space fruit wears off I'll do my best to keep your secrets safe-"

"Wait.. You mean the mango? That's what did this??" Keith nodded, "Don't be mad at Hunk though he.. Uhh... He didn't think it was going to do anything to you.." Keith knew he shouldn't lie, but Lance and Hunk were best friends and he didn't wanna cause a fight between them, once it was all over they could come clean.

"So.." Lance started, glancing down to Keith's hand still holding onto his, "What does this make us?" 

Keith thought a moment, as long as Lance was being honest now would be a good time to ask. "What do you want it to make us?"

"Boyfriends" He answered blushing a bit more, "I-I mean-"

"Well if that's how you feel" He said with a little chuckle, "Hope you don't mind me calling you something like sweetheart~" Lance bit his lip at the word, he wouldn't mind Keith calling him that at all. And hearing the faint accent made his heart feel something he hadn't even thought about in a long time.. Keith laughed a little letting go of Lances hand to give his a little space, "The team knows about you now, but not me. So I'll find a way to tell them."

"Keith. You don't have to-"

"I know, but I don't want to hide, not to mention you'll probably say something haha"

Lance smiled a little, just a moment ago he felt so lost and frustrated, but it was nice to have Keith be there for him.. And hear how he felt too without taking advantage of the situation.. He could ask anything, and Lance had no choice but to tell him. But he didn't even seem to be interested, he could find out so much to use against him.. It was a lot of worry off his mind to see Keith didn't even have that kind of thing on his mind.
