One Shots

Keith finds a better way to shut Lance up - not with words but a kiss

It was a quiet evening in the castle of lions, the paladins had all gone through a tough training session followed by a mission on one of the other planets and were given the rest of the day off. Pidge and Hunk were sat in the kitchen, Pidge on her laptop trying to find more about her family with Hunk sat next opposite stuffing his face. Allura and Coran were checking up on the ship. Shiro was off in his room doing who knows what. Lance and Keith were sat in the common room near each other.

"Keith, Keith, Keeiiiiiiith"

"What Lance!"

"I'm Bored"

"And? What has that got to do with me?"

"Wanna go on an adventure around the castle?"

"No"

"But...."

"No Lance, go annoy someone else"

"So I annoy you"

"Yes, why can't you leave me alone or be quiet please?"

"Oh, I get it I'm the one on the team that no one like, the one that gets in the way and everyone wishes that I want's hear. I bet you wish I hadn't made it, when we got attacked and I ended up in one of those pods, I bet you all wished that it didn't work. I'll just go then."

"Lance that's not what I meant, I'm just trying to relax, finish this book and I can't do that with you interrupting"

"Fine I'll be quiet"

"Thank you"

Lance sat back slouching against the back of the sofa looking up and staring at the ceiling. Keith was surprised that he managed to read a full chapter before Lance began to show his boredom. Sighing dramatically Lance sat up straight and turned to face Keith bringing his legs up and crossing them sighing again.

"Keith, Keith, Keeiiiith"

"Lance"

"Hey, Keith did you know that there are more stars in space than there are grains of sand on every beach in the world."

"No, I didn't"

"There is, I think it's great"

Keith remained looking at his book so Lance continued

"Your chances of being killed by a vending machine are actually twice as large as your chance of being bitten by a shark."

"Really, I guess that makes sense"

"Nero, the Roman Emperor, married a man, one of his freedmen, taking the role of the bride."

"Fascinating"

"A jellyfish is approximately 95% water"

"Wow, interesting, will you be quiet"

"Nope, a baby spider is called a spiderling"

"Lance"

"An octopus has three hearts. In older versions of Little Red Riding Hood, the girl and the wolf eat grandma together. On Jupiter and Saturn, it rains diamonds. About 8,000 Americans are injured by musical instruments each year."

"Lance seriously"

"Keith"

"Really can't you stay quiet for 5 minutes?"

Lance shuffled closer to Keith liking at the book in his hands before leaning his shoulder

"Keith, Keith, I'm Bored, Keith what's the point of reading that book anyway, can't we hang out instead. Wait it doesn't matter I'm too annoying. No one else wants me to hang out with them, they just find me annoying as well. I could always go somewhere and stay there."

"Or you could just try and be quiet for five minutes"

"Okay"

The room fell silent except the occasional noise of Keith turning the page of his book. Lance sat there staring at Keith trying to memorise each detail of his face.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"Um, well, um no reason. God that was close, if he caught me looking at him he might figure out I like him"

"Lance?"

"Yeah Keith"

"I'm guessing you didn't mean to say the last bit out loud"

"What? I said that out loud. Shit. Um. I was. Um. Joking? No like you would believe that, um I just made this really weird didn't I, god why do I mess things up, you probably won't talk to me anymore and that will affect us and the rest of the team and then we won't be able to form Voltron then we won't be able to help people. And why would I even think you would like me back, I mean that's impossible you're you, an amazing pilot, perfect hair, you're beyond gorgeous, you're smart, you're way out of my league. why should I even bother? you will never like someone like me, oh why did I say that, why am a saying any of this. why am I so stupid. I just had to open my big fat mouth and ....."

Lance couldn't finish his sentence a soft pair of lips crashed onto his. Lance moaned into the kiss as Keith's book dropped to the floor forgotten about. Lance leaned back against the sofa uncrossing his legs while pulling Keith on top of him, Keith settled straddling Lance's thighs bringing his arms up threading his fingers into lances hair. Lance wrapped his arms around Keith letting one hand rest on his hip and the other on the curve of Keith's back. The couple remains in this position for some time occasionally pulling apart to catch their breath. some time later Keith sat up straight bringing one of his hands to cup Lance's cheek.

"Never think you are not good enough, especially not good enough for me. you are more than enough. okay, you can be a little annoying at times but so can everyone. I like you okay and I'm glad you slipped up because now I know that the feelings are mutual."

"Mutual? you mean you-you like me."

"Yes, you idiot I like you. it's no secret that I'm not good at the whole emotions thing and you are the first person that I have had feelings for that I have ever told. so I'm willing to give us a try. but heads up I will be figuring out this whole relationship thing as we go"

"if it means I can call you my boyfriend then I'll take whatever I get"

Keith leaned forward smiling before pressing his lips back onto Lance's.
