Lance looked into Keith's eyes
"Yes?"

Keith struggled to get the words out. He sat up
"You can punch me if you want"

"What?-" Lance was cut off by Keith suddenly pulling him into a kiss
Expecting Lance to recoil and push him away
Pleasantly surprised when Lance leaned into it
The two locked themselves in a passionate kiss Keith pressed into Lance and lance let out the slightest bit of a gasp.
The two pull away breathless
"Keith i-...I don't know what to say"

"Say you'll be mine...I can't stand this pretending like evey second without you isn't torture...acting like I don't lo-...like you romantically...I need you Lance and for once I'm letting my heart do the talking...damn it"

Lance brought Keith into a passionate kiss once more
Barly breathing out the words yes

The two broke apart checks flushed
"I never took you for a romantic" said Lance causing Keith to playfully punch his shoulder
Lance chuckled

"Hey uh....can I ask a favor"
Keith nodded and looked at Lance waiting for him to contuine

"Let's keep us a secret...for now I don't want the team acting weird especially since they don't know I'm bi-...and stuff"
Lance fidgeting with his sleev unable to look into Keith's eyes

Keith put a resuming hand on lances knee
"Lance it's fine..we can keep it a secret"

Lance sighed a breath of relife and looked up at his now boyfriend.
"Can I ask you about...your coming out story?" Lance asked quitly.
It was never a secrete that Keith was gay he never tried hiding it Lance envied that confidence

"Well there's not much to say...my dad died before I relised my sexulity and shiro was dating Adam so it's not like those two were surprised..when I came out they said that they knew the moment shiro practically adopted me. Heh yeah it was funny I never built it up or anything I just..I don't know it's just been apart of me like how being stright is apart of stright people"
Lance nodded in semi understanding 

"What about you?"
Keith asked

"Me?...I uhm...I never told anyone...I hide it from eveyone...I was- am I am afraid of how people will react how my family will react.."

Keith nodded and pulled Lance in a hug
"Well I know for a fact the team won't mind but they definitely will be surprised when we do eventually tell them"

"Wow Mullet not even an hour and your planing our future toghther" Lance teases

Keith rolls his eyes "Okay you ruined it"

"I'm kidding I'm kidding" Lance smiles softly
Keith flushes a bit that smile always seemed to do it for him...make his heart flutter and beat box
Not that he'd admit it just yet

"Sooo....what do we do now.?" Lance asked awkwardly

"I think we go to bed"

Lance nodded noticing the time showed 5 am.

Keith gave Lance a warm smile and got up. Heading to his own room to turn in
Lance blushed and smiled to himself. The whole siation felt surreal
He and Keith...were dating....like full on dating..
He felt like squeeling like a little girl he turned off his light and laid in bed falling asleep with a smile on his face.

And that is how the pair had begun to secretly date over the next few months. They manged to hide it fairly well. Unfortunately in the months that pass they had not located shiro and Keith was still obsessive over finding him. sometimes that would take strain on his health. Keith refusal to open and listened proved difficult for Lance..

It wasnt long before the team set out on another attempt to locate shiro's where abouts. Two Teams split up to investigate new Intel they received from near by spilar system.
Keith and Lance went to planet koorah
While podge and hunk when to planet Lithsum
Allura stayed behind to insure nothing attacks the Castel.. much to her annoyance. Feeling as if Keith is keeping her out the way however she said nothing.

The couple decided to part ways to sherch the divide and concar hoping to cover more ground.

"Anything?" Keith asked slightly hopeful wanting nothing more than to find his lost brother

"No..it's quite a snow storm on my end. Getting very hard to see"

"Keep looking he might be out there somewhere"

"Ke----"

"Lance?"

"Kei---- cut---"

The storm had worsen on lances side and he was struggling to get combinations through to Keith.

Keith sighed not worried for his boyfriend as he contained the sherch.

Lance tried a few more times to co tact Keith but to no avail. With an irrated sigh he went back to sherching in the blizzard. It's always surreal how one side of the planet can be so cold barren in a storm while the other side was that of a desert. He had hopped Keith wasn't to uncomfortable in the heat of his side.
Lance tried to focus the sight getting difficult to see while he contained to fly though the storm.

Lance could of storm he had saw soemthing down below but it was hard to make out.
Lance landed and excited his lion
"Shiro?" He called in hopes it was him
Lance ventured futher. He started jogging hoping to gods it was shiro so they could go home however as he neared he slowed down realizing it wasn't shiro just a old prisoner long dead.."wait what? Why is there a galra prisoner on this planet...coran said it was deserted?..." Lance crouched down to inspect the body. And then his surroundings. Finding a Galar ship crash landed near him he had decided to investigate.

Lance entered the ship and switched on a flash light. The ship was old seems like the pilot crash landed here long ago.
Lance noticed claw marks on the walls he ran his hand over it
"How strnage" he muttered on gurd. He had wondered what creature did that and he did not want to find out. Lance soon left the ship the storm somehow had worsened and now he was unsure where his lion was located.
"Crap...Keith is going to kill me" Lance muttered as he began to walk in the genral direction he rembered the body being....
Yet it felt like he had been walking endlessly..he rembered the body was directly infront of the ship. He looked back and to his suprise he could no longer see the ship...Lance was lost...
