The Compromise (Klance X Shiro)

Chapter 1: The Date

Keith sighed, his amber eyes drifting around the crowded space mall as Lance, his boyfriend of two months, dragged him around through the crowds with a firm hold on his wrist. Lance, dressed in a nice white and blue laced jacket with light blue skinny jeans and was beginning to bore his boyfriend as he browsed through every single stall, even if he obviously wasn't interested in anything there. It was almost as if he wanted Keith to grow bored and annoyed on their first "date" in a month.
"Lance?" Keith finally groaned, trying to pull his wrist free, the corners of his pink lips curling downwards to form a frown.
"What, Keith?" Lance almost snapped, as if his lover had invited himself on this shopping trip and that it wasn't supposed to be a date at all! His grip only tightened when Keith tried to pull his own arm free, causing the boy to let out a soft whine as his teeth clenched.
"I just... you said that this was a date so um... Aren't we going to go to a restaurant or something?" The red paladin asked, immediately regretting such a question when Lance suddenly turned, glowering at him in annoyance.
"Oh I'm sorry your majesty! Is me bringing you to the shopping centre to buy you things not enough?!" The Cuban demanded angrily, jerking at Keith's wrist.
"Ah no no! I'm sorry, it is!" Keith gasped immediately. Usually he would argue back and state the fact that everything so far had been bought only for Lance. However, he was just too tired. He hadn't been able to sleep all that much ever since the blue paladin had decided that Keith would be sleeping with him. By now Lance had most probably noticed the correlation though... The more tired Keith was, the less he seemed to argue- and this was exactly how he liked his boyfriend. Submissive, almost.
"Damn right it is," Lance scowled, nodding his head before then suddenly smiling all cheerily again, trotting towards a darker stall, which had many 'Over 18s Only' signs plastered on the darkened windows. The couple weren't over 18, but Keith knew that they'd be going in anyway, and probably wouldn't be questioned or asked for ID since it would be impossible for aliens to tell what the humans ages were. "Now, Mrs Blue Lion, you get to watch whilst I pick up some things for you okay? Remember, what happens when we are bed is my business not yours. Besides, it's much easier if I make decisions for you isn't it?" He turned to grin happily at Keith, who just nodded quickly.
Yes, now it became very clear why Lance had bought him here.

As they entered the lightly perfumed store, Keith kept his eyes glued to the floor, not wanting to see all of the sexual items and clothing that Lance would pick for him.
It didn't take long for Lance to make his decisions on what they needed to 'add seasoning to their bedtime activities' as he put it and once he had everything he wanted in the bag, he turned to Keith.
"Do you like it all?" He asked, opening the bag to show Keith.
After taking a quick look, Keith winced inwardly at the size of the dildos and the cringe that he received as he looked at the skirts and gags. No, he didn't like any of this at all- well not because it was bad kit, but because it would undoubtably be used on him. Keith would much rather use it on someone else. He was about to open his mouth to voice such concerns when Lance just laughed. "Of course you do! Now, let's go home shall we?"
The Human-Galra Hybrid just nodded quietly.

Once they were back at the spaceship, Keith sighed as he walked towards Lance's room instead of his own, only to freeze, his ruby eyes flickering up at the sound of Shiro marching towards him.
"Keith?" Shiro asked, sounding suddenly concerned. As the leader of Voltron, Shiro was pretty observant, and therefore perceptive of the other paladins feelings and emotions. He took it as a great importance to know how his crew were feeling, and also how to help them if any of them didn't feel happy. This, he knew, would help with transforming into Voltron which was petty crucial when it came to protecting the universe.
His grey eyes narrowed a little and he crossed his arms when Keith didn't answer straight away, immediately able to see his tire. "You look like you haven't slept in a few days." He commented.
Jolting a little at this, Keith immediately reached up to poke the small bags under his eyes, soon forcing out a laugh.
"Ah yeah, well Lance dragged me about on a date at the Space Mall, so I am pretty tired... sorry." Keith didn't really hear himself apologise at the end. Apologising after he had spoken had just become something normal to him.
"Ah well yes, Lance can be tiring- Wait why did you apologise?" Although he laughed softly, Shiro was growing more concerned, his chest tightening and his eyes darkening.
However, before the nervous Keith could answer, Lance suddenly came barrelling around the corner.
"Keith! You should- Oh hi Shiro." The Cuban slowed to a walk before halting at Keith's side to glance up at Shiro, quickly cutting himself off to greet the black paladin. After all, he was aware that how he was treating his lover at the moment was frowned upon to say the least.
"Hello Lance" Shiro said, only able to smile a little through his concern. He was much better at hiding his emotions than all the other paladins, even if he did know that it was important to be open about everything. It was just the way he was, and he would help himself by spending at least half an hour everyday inside his Lion, talking to her about everything on his mind to clear it. He knew that she could understand, and she would often put ideas into his head to help him fix the problems that he proposed to her.

Lance didn't seem to notice that Shiro's greeting had been so short, almost snappy even, and began to drag Keith away, who bit his lip hard. He wanted to stay with Shiro, and both men noticed this.
"Well Shiro, we will speak to each other later but Keith and I have cool things to do!" Lance cheered with a joyful wave, leaving Shiro to glare after them, letting out a soft huff of concern.

A/N I am perfectly aware that sweet lil Lance is nothing like this in Voltron at all. He is only like this for the plot of this fan fiction.
