It was about 2 am and Keith was wide awake. He could already tell it was going to be a long night. Everyone was really tired after their training but Keith just couldn't close his eyes. He kept thinking about Lance. Lance had seemed off today. He was slower than usual in training and just not his usual happy self. At least once a day the two would fight over some stupid thing, but today Lance just didn't really care. He failed pretty much all of the training and he didn't eat with the team that night. Keith was worried about him. Of corse, he would never admit that, but he knew something was up.

Keith had decided to walk around the castle for a while to clear his head. Since everyone was asleep, it was dead quiet and his footsteps echoed through out the hallway. He was walking by the main room with the crystal when he noticed the room was lit up. Keith immediately got his sword ready and put his back to the wall peeking to see if there was an intruder in the room. What Keith saw wasn't an intruder, it was Lance sitting in the middle of the room on the step with his hands locked around his knees. The room was lit up from Coran's little map thingie projecting the stars and planets all around the room. Lance was sitting right in front of a small dot that was labeled Earth, his head buried in his knees.

Keith frowned and put away the sword, he moved slowly into the room until he was a few steps away from Lance.

"Lance...?" Keith said in a quiet voice. Lance jumped a foot and his head shot up and turned to Keith. His eyes were mixed with hurt and tears, and in the moment, fear. Keith could tell that he had been crying because his eyes were puffy and dried tears were on his face.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! ITS LIKE 2 AM KEITH! YOU CANT JUST COME IN A DARK ROOM AT 2 AM AND SCARE PEOPLE!" Lance whisper shouted.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you but what exactly are you doing in a dark room at 2 am alone then?" Keith asked.
Lance's expression turned from slightly angry, to sad in a matter of seconds.  "Nothing really. I- uh...I couldn't sleep." He said in a hushed voice.

"I couldn't sleep either, I came here to clear my head." Keith sat down next to Lance on the step. Lance looked down at his feet, he obviously didn't want to make eye contact.

"You haven't been sleeping much have you." Keith didn't really ask, he just sorta stated it. It explained why Lance hadn't really been himself today, he probably hadn't slept much that week.

Lance shook his head frowning.

"You weren't yourself today, care to explain?" Keith tried, it didn't really come out the way he had said it in his head.

"It doesn't matter." Lance answered still not looking up from his feet. "Why do you care anyway?"

"Because your my teammate and that's what a good team mate does, they care for the others." Keith said a bit defensively "So are you gonna tell me what's wrong or not."

Lance didn't answer

"Lance."

Lance still didn't answer he just looked up at the small projection of Earth that was in front of him. "We aren't going back anytime soon... are we."

Keith was slightly taken aback. Lance had completely dodged his question. "No. I don't think we're going back for a long time..."

"I just... I just wanna go home Keith." The blue paladin's voice cracked

Keith's heart sank at the sight of Lance with tears in his eyes, as he looked at a fake projection of his home.

"Being away from Earth...it's like having part of me slowly being ripped from my heart or something like that." He tried to explain, " it feels like I don't even have a home anymore. "

Keith frowned and put hand on Lance's knee.

Lance continued, "the only place I really feel like I'm home... Is when I'm with you..."

Keith stared in shock at Lance who now had tears streaming down his face. Lance buried his face in Keith's chest in a tight hug. Keith had not expected what ever this was to turn out like this, but he wasn't complaining. It took him a moment before he returned Lance's hug, but when he did, he squeezed the homesick boy close.

Lance took in the scent of Keith's black t-shirt and the feeling of his arms tightly wrapped around him. "Please don't leave me..."

"I'm not going anywhere Lance."

Lance relaxed and rested his head oh Keith's chest as the two lay on the ground starring at the projection of the stars. They lay there for about an hour, and during that time Lance finally fell asleep snuggled up next to Keith on the floor. Keith smiled and ran his hand through the sleeping boy's hair
" I'm not going anywhere."

Of corse Lance denied the whole thing the next day. So according to Lance, this never happened.
