 Thanks @AnimeActivated for the idea!

Warnings: Mentions of suicide but worry not because he never actually did anything he just thought i mean yeah that's still worrying but you know what i mean

Lance's POV

Keith's been acting strange. Like, whenever he comes out to the dining hall, he has a sad look in his eye, I can't describe it. Whenever he smiles, it seems forced. I know that we're rivals and all, but I can't help but worry. I'm still his friend. And rival. We have a frenemy relationship. I tried to bring it up to Shiro, but he said I was being paranoid. I told Allura, but she told me the same thing. He's not okay. I don't know what's wrong and it's getting me worried. 

I need to talk to him. I need to be there for him. 

I walk to his room. I know he's inside because I can hear muffled sounds. I knock on the door. 

"Keith? Buddy? Can I come in?" I ask. The muffled sounds stop. I stand outside for a few minutes. The door opens.

"What is it, Lance?" Keith snaps. His eyes are red and puffy. 

"I want to talk." I tell him softly. 

"What about?" He asks. 

"I'll tell you when I come in your room. Please let me in?" Keith moves out of the way, and I sit on his bed. He closes the door. I pat the bed next to me signalling I want him to sit. He rolls his eyes and sits next to me. 
"Keith... what's wrong?" Keith sniffs. 

"Nothing. I'm fine." I shake my head.

"No, you're not. I've noticed you've been somewhere else. I've noticed how you barely talk to us anymore. I've noticed. Now tell me what's wrong. I'm your friend and I want to help you."

Keith is silent for a few seconds. He lowers his head. His shoulders start shaking. Is he... crying?

"It's just... it's hard, Lance." His voice is shaky. 

"What's hard?"

"Everything!" He lifts his head and tears are streaming down his face. 
"All this... this... I just don't know anymore! I miss home, I miss my friends, I miss everything! Back on Earth, I wasn't... okay. I was depressed and often thought about cutting. I never did, but I thought about it. I was dealing with bullying, family problems and it just broke me. When I left and this whole thing started, I thought I would be okay. That I would finally become happy. And I was... for a while. Then I had time to think to myself. The thoughts returned. I can't get them out of my head and it... it hurts."

I put my arm around his shoulder. 
"Listen... I'm glad you told me. I was starting to get worried. Really worried. I'll help in whatever way I can." I tell him.

"If you want to help, just let me rant. It feels better when I talk." He tells me. 

"Then talk. I'll be listening."

*TIME SKIP A FEW WEEKS LATER*

Keith's POV

I've been doing better. I'm still not that happy, but I'm getting there. Lance always comes to my room to let me just talk. He even drags me out of my room to hang out with him. He's so... so... accepting. He doesn't force me to be happy or tell me that I'm just looking for attention. Sure, he helps me to be happy, but he doesn't tell me what to do. He just suggests, which is really nice because my family just told me what to do and if I didn't to it, I would get grounded. I was so glad to leave when I turned eighteen. And, I know you're wondering about the bullies. See, I hung out in a nearby town a lot. The people just saw me and decided I was their new victim. 

I'm laying on my bed thinking about Lance. Lance. The one who noticed. I hear a knock at my door. I practically run to the door. I open it to see a smiling Lance.

"Keith! Follow me." He says. I nod. He takes my hand and drags me to... somewhere. But as soon as he grabbed my hand, my heart skipped a few beats. We stop running.

"Close your eyes." He tells me. I do. I trust him. He guides me somewhere. Suddenly, I'm sitting. 

"Can I open my eyes?" I ask.

"Nooope. Not yet." I huff. Suddenly, I feel as if we're moving. 

"Lance? Are we in your lion?" I ask. He doesn't answer. I'll take that as a 'yes'. An hour or so later, I fall asleep. I mean, my eyes are closed for a long time. What do you expect? 

I'm awoken by a voice.

"Keeeeith. Wake up." I yawn and open my eyes. 

"Where are we?" I ask sleepily. Lance smiles. 

"I wanted to show you something." He takes my hand and drags me out of the blue lion. When we exit the lion, he walks slower. He's still holding my hand. 

"Wow." Is all I can say. The ground is covered in purple grass, the sky is a very dark blue, and the stars shine brighter then anyhting I've ever seen. Lance sits down with me. It's quiet. It's not awkward. I look at Lance. I know boys are supposed to be handsome, but in this light, Lance looks beautiful. He looks at me and we smile. This time, for me, it's a genuine smile. I rest my head on his shoulder, still smiling. Lance wraps his arms around me.

"Okay. Confession time. I brought you here for a reason. I want to ask you something." He tells me. 

"What is it?" I ask. Lance clears his throat. 

"For a while now, I've been getting a strange feeling whenever I talk to you. I didn't know what it meant for a while. Then I realised... I might like you as more then a friend. But, like, I've liked a lot of people Keith. Mainly girls, you're actually the first boy, but I've never felt this way towards anyone. And I just... listen. You make me happy and what I'm trying to say is... do you want to be my boyfriend? I-I understand if you say no, I just thought I'd try."

"You... you really mean it?"

"Keith, of course I mean it!"

"I- yes. I-I'd like to be your boyfriend."

Lance holds me tighter. 

"Well, that was mushy, but I think it was worth it. Scratch that, I know it was worth it." He says.

"Lance..."

"Actually that felt really good! I feel like I can do anything!"

"Lance..."

"I am on a roll! Did I ever tell you how pretty your eyes are? Or how much I like your hair? Yeah, it's a mullet, but it just suits you!"

"Lance!"

"Hmm?"

"Just shut up already."

"Ah. Right."

"...How do we tell everybody else?"

"How about we don't? For now."

"For now."

It's queit after that. 

"Lance?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks for noticing."

He kisses my head.

"Anytime."

HEYYY, GUYS! Okay. So. That's there. Is it weird for me to say I liked writing depressed Keith? Probably, but I'm a weird person so whatever. 

Also, I'll take story requests anytime!
