Lance Fics

Warmth (langst/klance)

Allura walked quickly and with purpose. Her eyes darted from side to side and she bit her lip. Her face was creased with worry. She let out a relieved breath she didn't realize she was holding when she found what she had been looking for, or more of who she had been looking for. She found Hunk in the kitchen trying to replicate food from earth using alien ingrediants. Keith and Shiro sat talking to eachother at the table and Pidge was sitting on the counter being the 'taste tester' for Hunks newest creation.

She took in a shaky breath, "H-Hunk can you come with me for a moment?" Allura's words came out shaky and strained.

Hunk looked up from the food. He took in her worried appearance. He could tell something was wrong so he followed her without question. They left 3 confused paladins behind as they hurried through the halls.

"What's wrong princess?"

"It's Lance, I found him in his room and-" she cut herself off with a sob, "It was horrible. He was just laying there covered in his own blood.. I thought you might know what's going on since you've known him the longest."

Hunk gave her a reassuring look. He looked straight ahead as they entered the room. Lance was in a cryopod in the center of the room. He looked so peaceful and at ease. Coran was standing next to the cryopod, watching Lance with a worried expression.

Coran saw Hunk and let out a relieved sigh, "Allura and I went looking for Lance when he missed training. We found him in his bathroom covered in blood. He had many cuts on his wrists and thighs... we believe they were self-inflicted wounds."

Hunk sighed, "I was worried something like this might happen... but I didn't think it'd be this bad. Lance has something called depression. It's a human thing and it causes people it get really sad. Well I guess it's different for people.. but for Lance he starts to hate himself and doubt his worth and stuff. But he's good at hiding it by faking happiness. He hurts himself.. there's medicine for it but I'm guessing his is back on earth. God, I'm so stupid. How could I not have seen this sooner?" Hunk looked down and sighed. He wiped a few tears from his face.

"It's not your fault Hunk, no one else noticed either." Allura placed a comforting hand on hunks shoulder. Coran nodded in agreement.

"He lost a lot of blood, but he should be out by tomorrow. Let's go rest and get something to eat, ok?" Coran gave them small smiles and lead them from the room.

Keith walked into the room and stared at Lance. When Allura had gone to get Hunk Keith had followed them. He had heard everything.

He stared silently at Lance. It almost made no sense. How could someone as happy as Lance hate himself so much that he felt the need to harm himself? Keith had always liked lance. Even back at the garrison. He loved Lance's large welcoming smile and open arms. Keith had always watched from afar. He didn't want to get attached to someone just to have them taken from him- again. Then they became paladins and Keith couldn't avoid him as much so he lashed out at Lance. He tried to push him away. But all that time Lance's cocky grin was fake. Underneath that was Lance being beat up. Keith realized just how much he had actually hurt Lance. He never wanted to hurt him so much, but he had. And he had fallen in love with Lance McClain.

Keith snapped out of his daze of thoughts and back into reality. He felt hot tears rolling down his face. He made no effort to stop them. Instead, he sat down infront of Lance's cryopod and waited.

*Time skip brought to you by Corans moustache*

Lance woke up. The only thing that registered in his mind was that he was cold. Then the cryopod opened and he fell into warmth. He didn't know what it was, but it was warm and welcoming so he snuggled into it. But then it registered what had happened. Last thing he knew was that he was bleeding out on the bathroom floor. Then he realized that he was in someones arms. He froze in panic, his heart rabitting in his chest. He found his feet and to his bodies displeasure he pulled away from the warmth. He gulped and opened his eyes to find bright purple ones staring back at him.

His brain had a mini seizure. But before he could say anything Keith spoke,

"Lance, it's ok.. It'll be ok."

The voice was so smooth, so welcoming. So he did what any rational person would do, he burst into tears. Full on river of lost hope running down his face.

"I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to-" Lance was cut off by being pulled back into the warmth. He gave in immediately and held on tight to Keith. He cried into his shoulder. Keith made soft 'shh'ing noises and repeated the words 'it's okay' several times while holding on to Lance and rubbing his back gently. Eventually Lance calmed down and his body racking sobs became soft sniffles.

Lance didn't want to let go but he knew he couldn't stay. He wiggled out of Keith's grasp slowly. He gave him a smile, "H-Hey, how long have I b-been out?" His voice betrayed him, his words came out stuttery and high.

"Uhm, everyone went to bed a few hours ago so not quite a day.." Keith was watching Lance with a look he hadn't ever seen on his face before.

"How many people know?.." Lance let his smile drop and his shoulders slacken. He didn't feel like keeping up the facade.

"Uhm, Hunk, Allura, and Coran.. Allura and Coran f-found you after training... they got Hunk to see if he knew what was going on.. I uh- I followed them and heard Hunk explain everything."

Lance swallowed hard and looked down at his feet. "Look man, don't feel like you have to do anything about this.. I'm fine." He forced that large grin onto his face, "Any way, this guy" he pointed his thumbs at himself, "needs his beauty rest." He turned and began walking from the room.

Keith quickly hurried over to him and gripped his shoulder, pulling Lance to face him.

"Lance you are not fine and stop fucking acting like it! It's okay for you to not be fine so stop fucking hiding from me! Er- us." Keith looked at Lance with pleading eyes.

Lance watched him for awhile before giving his shaky response, "I don't know why you're pretending to care. But you can stop now. I'm fine."

"GAH- No you're fucking not! I'm not pretending to fucking care Lance. I do fucking care- I care about you a whole fucking lot. I love your damn smile and your stupid big blue gorgeous eyes and your soft hair and clear skin. I love everything about you Lance McClain. I'm in fucking love with you and no matter how much you try to convince yourself otherwise I am. I love you more than anything." By the time Keith was done yelling he was breathing heavily and Lance was wide eyed and trembling.

"I-I'm sorry Keith... I didn't mean to h-hurt you... I love you too..."

Keith gripped Lance in a bone crushing hug, "I promise I will take care of you and do my best to make sure you don't get hurt... just please, don't hurt yourself.. you can talk to me, Lance.."

He felt Lance finally hug him back, "Okay... this makes you my boyfriend then, right?"

Keith grinned, "Yes, yes it does."

Lance smiled and gazed into Keith's eyes. They stood with their arms around eachother and noses almost touching for a while.

"Lance, may I kiss you?"

Lance grinned, a real genuine grin, "I totally want that tea."

Keith gave him a confused look that Lance could only recognise as the look of a puppy with it's head tilted.

"Yes."

Keith was about to lean in and give Lance (some tea) a kiss before the lights flickered on. The two turned to look at the 5 people standing there, which included a smug looking Pidge and a frustrated Shiro.

"Okay shiro, pay up." Pidge smirked at him.

Shiro sighed and gave her some space money.

Keith growled, "YOU WERE BETTING ON US? AND EVEN WORSE- YOU INTERRUPTED US!"

Lance giggled and pulled a fuming Keith into a soft kiss. Keith instantly melted and kissed back.

"Well, that's it folks." Beamed Pidge, the other four gave her a weird look but Keith and Lance continued kissing, completely ignoring everyone else.

Soooo yeah, I got bored and this happened. I'm busy this week but I'll try and update soon. Buhbye.
