They stood facing each other. Both their cheeks tear stained and their eyes red. It had been an emotional day.
"I love you Keith..." It took Lance lots of crying and yelling and confusion to finally say the words to Keith, who had already known his feelings. "With everything I have. I just..." His tears were coming back, he was choking them down. "I don't want to lose you."
Lance leant against the door, sliding down it until he was sitting. He put his head on his knees, letting the tears fall. He could not hold back his fears anymore, he was hurting himself by holding back from what he wants. Keith was soon sitting next to him, rubbing his back and attempting to comfort the boy. He hated seeing Lance like this. Lance fell into Keith's arms automatically, like they were the only things protecting him.
"I'm scared to lose you, that is why I fight against it." Keith just sat here, holding his own tears as Lance cried in his arms. He always wanted to be close to Lance, but with their 'rivalry' he could never do that. "I would not be able to live if you left me or my life and I hate myself for it. Tell me that if I go through with this that you won't be like all the rest... That I won't lose you?"
Keith nodded, he had been quiet for a long time. He knew he had but he was listening to Lance talking. Feeling his heart quickening as he heard Lance's words, he did not know what to say back.
"You have been so quiet. What are you thinking?"
"I just wasn't expecting this today. I'm listening to you talk... I've never in my life had anyone say this to me..." Both Paladins blushed,
"You deserve it... Haven't you had parents to tell you that you deserve the best?" Keith looked away, he never had a family, Lance did not know that and he never thought it would be a topic to talk about. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I didn't know! I-"
"It's alright, I don't normally talk about it anyways. It's sort of a depressing topic." Lance frowned he had been saying the wrong stuff all day, he did not know how to act or what to say to make this a decent interaction with the boy beside him.
"I'm bad at this... Do you want me to stop?"
"Stop what?" Keith was clueless and he did not know what Lance was implying by 'stop'.
"Talking." Keith shook his head in denial. He enjoyed listening to Lance's voice, it made him feel comfortable in. He turned to Lance, a soft smile on his face as he told Lance how he enjoyed listening to his voice. Lance cracked a soft smile. "I want to hear yours."
"What do you want me to say?"
"Anything..."
Keith thought but there was only one thing he could think to say. "I love you..."
"I love you too..." Then the question reached Lance mind, one that he never had the chance to ask anyone. A question he wanted to ask someone. "Can you explain?"
"Explain?" Now Lance sounded crazy to Keith, he is not making sense of what he wants to know. What he was trying to ask.
"What do you think love is? How does it make you feel?" Keith thought, he had an explanation. He never thought he would speak these feelings so openly, especially towards Lance. But here they were, sitting in the empty room, talking about the topic.
"It makes me feel like they are all that matters to me, nothing can top the cake but them." Lance nodded, resting his head on Keith's shoulder as he listened. "At the same time I feel like someone is ripping out my insides. Every time they walk by, there is someone inside my stomach kicking and punching me." Lance hummed, intertwining their fingers. "It's quite an abusive feeling actually. My heart wants to jump out of my chest. I see you and suddenly I have the need for that skin to skin contact. Yes, sometimes sexually."
