lance took a deep breath in, taking in his lover's stale cologne. he shifted, pressing his lips to keith's collarbone. he smiled, content with where he was, tangled up in bed with his boyfriend. lance felt smaller, sheltered by keith's protective hold onto him as he slept.
lance closed his eyes. he felt anxious, nervous for some unknown reason. but being with keith made him happy, especially on nights like these.
nights where lance couldn't sleep, but it was okay because he was right under keith's chin. it was okay because he knows how keith sleeps and he isn't asleep either. it was okay because lance didn't have to imagine what it was like to sleep next to keith anymore.
"lance..." keith whispered, calling lance out of his trance and making him smile at the sound of his boyfriend's voice.
"hmm?" lance hummed in response.
"go to bed, lance." keith said sternly. "you need to get some sleep, you haven't slept for more than five hours in weeks."
lance smiled, closing his eyes and shifting closer into keith's embrace. "can't sleep." was his excuse.
keith hummed in disapproval. "you need it." he said, running his fingers through lance's short hair.
"the longer i sleep, the less time i have with you." lance said, his smile fading as a melancholy mood hit him.
"the longer you sleep, the less time you need to worry." keith rebutted, massaging his fingers into lance's head, calming his boyfriend down.
lance's eyes started to close on themselves, no longer able to stay open. "you promise you'll be right here in the morning?" lance asked, suddenly anxious.
