Klance Oneshots

Alone

Keith was on the training deck battling bot after bot, increasing levels like it was nothing. Lance watched from a spot in the rafters that he now claimed as his secret spot. Lance came here to be alone and to let the tears fall where no one could see him. He also came to watch Keith, his crush and rival. Lance always knew that he had feelings for the stupid mullet boy but refused to let them show. Because who could love a failure like Lance?  Obviously he was the weakest link on the team and Shiro always told him to train more so he could be more like Keith. But that was the problem. He was nothing like Keith and never could be. Keith was perfect, completely out of his reach. So he settled for keeping his mouth shut on the subject and observing the love of his life from afar.

Keith had just finished a high level training sequence when he finally had enough and turned off the bots, heading over to a towel he had set out before, and dried his hair off and wiped the sweat off his face. Leaning his back against the cool metal wall Keith sighed deeply. Lance had been acting differently lately. Almost robotic. His jokes went away slowly as did his constant flirting. His smile was replaced with a permanent straight line and those beautiful blue eyes Keith had fell in love with turned dull, like all the spark was drained from his very soul. Keith couldn't stand seeing Lance like this, but was too afraid of his own feelings for the Cuban boy to actually go and speak with him. Keith slammed a fist against the cool metal behind him, growling with frustration and his cowardly actions.

Meanwhile, Lance watched Keith become upset, concern reflecting in his now cold blue eyes. That's when he heard Keith mumbling something to himself.

"Why is he so sad? Is it something I did or the team? I wish I had the guts to go talk to the stupid sharp shooter. I wish he would smile again. That smile I love. I miss it so much. So freaking much I can't stand this anymore" Keith then turned around and slammed another fist into the smooth metal wall. "That's it. I'm done being afraid. If he hates me after this then fine, but at least after this he will know that he is loved. That he is someone that someone cares for. Dammit why do I love you you idiot."  Keith then took a deep breath before grabbing his towel off the floor and walking out of the training deck to go find Lance.

Lance almost fell out of his little hiding spot he was so shocked. "Keith likes me?  The one I thought that hated me with every cell in his being?  He likes me back?"  A million questions were hurtling through Lances mind before he had the sense to get off his butt and go find Keith. They had some talking to do.

As both boys wandered around the castle looking for the other they finically ran into each other outside of Lances room. Lance glanced up at Keith nervously, tending as Keith approached him. Keith noticed this and wondered what was wrong.

"Lance, please talk to me. I'm worried about you. Your smile is gone and so is the bright sparkle that used to dance in your beautiful blue eyes. Dammit Lance I like you. I like you a lot. And I can't stand seeing you so broken down. I don't know what's got you so down but just know that I'm here and that you are loved. Even if you don't return the feelings and hate me now, just know you are truly loved and everything will be alright." Keith's voice shook at the end, for even thinking of Lance not liking him back was already ripping his heart apart.

"Keith I'm sorry but I can't. You're amazing and you deserve someone amazing. And that person is not me. I appreciate your concern but don't waste those precious feelings on a worthless paladin like me. You can have anyone" Lance looked up at Keith with tears in his eyes and a real smile on his face. The first real smile Keith had seen in a while. What Lance said broke Keith's heart.

"Why don't you think you are good enough" Keith's voice was barley above a whisper. "You're so beautiful and talented and you're the goofy glue that holds this team together. What happened to the Lance that made fun of my mullet or something else just as stupid every five seconds. Come back to me Lance. Please. I want you and only you."

Lance steeled his nerves for what he was about to do. Taking a deep breath he looked Keith in the eyes and said "I'm sorry but I won't burden anyone with me anymore. Especially not you Keith. You don't deserve to be dragged down by dead weight. Because that's all I am."  And with that Lance took off at a full sprint towards his lion.

Keith took a second to register what Lance was getting at but when it finally clicked he took off at full speed calling out for Lance to stop.

Lance kept running until he reached blue. But she had put up her defenses, placing a wall between her and her paladin.

"I will not let you do what you want to do Lance" she spoke into Lances thoughts. Lance just cried out and started banging on the shield until he felt a warm pair of arms wrap around him, holding him close.

"If you left, who would make fun of my mullet?" Said Keith, his voice muffled by his face being pressed between the blue paladins shoulder blades.

Lance finally gave up and turned around, wrapping his arms around the red paladin. Lance then began to cry, then full out sob into Keith's red jacket. Keith just held him, rubbing small circles into his back and whispering encouraging little nothings into Lances ear. Finally after Lance calmed down Keith took Lances face between his hands, wiping away the few remaining tears with his thumb before placing a kiss on his forehead.

"I love you. Please don't leave me" Keith sighed resting his forehead against Lances.

"I love you too" whispered Lance almost unsure of what Keith would do after hearing his confession.

What Keith did surprised him. In one fell swoop, Keith had Lance dipped like they were dancing and kissed him right on the mouth. Their mouths melted into the other, like it was meant to be. When they finally pulled away, Lance was in tears again.

"Lance what's wrong?" Exclaimed Keith in alarm.

"For once nothing is wrong. Everything is perfect. I love you Keith" Lance whispered into Keith's neck before kissing Keith again a little harder this time.

The two stayed like that for a little before Pidge walked by and smirked at them before telling the two to get a room before walking to her tech lab. Both boys just laughed and shared another hug.

They finally weren't alone anymore.
