Heathens

Forbidden mates

Nails bleed as a scream echoed the air while a boy sat in a chair as he had wires were attached to his head.

He panted as the electricity stopped and his back slouched while his eyes where squeezed shut. He yelled when his hair was grabbed and yanked his head up looking at a man.

"Repeat," he hissed as the twelve year old trembled.

"I-I- M-meta humans a-are just in my head," he shook with wide blue eyes full of fear and agonizing pain.

"You will walk in the halls," he pushed the boy back making the chair he was strapped to fall back on the floor. "No running unless you plan to use the fucking gun,"

The boy nodded as he was released from the chair. He quickly scrambled to his feet and walked out the door with his bare feet smacking against the floor when he picked up speed.

'No running!' He screamed in his mind making the boy stop immediately. He glanced over his shoulder knowing that pain would return.

'If you don't run then they have no reason to hurt you- that's a lie! They don't care of that! They just want you for the dough you can make for them- stop!' He gripped his head falling to the ground with wide eyes.

'Lance!' The voice in his head screamed and he shook so much he practically vibrated as he wanted to run away.

"Lance it's time to get up," a gentle voice said as a hand shook his body.

Lance sprung up so fast he sped away to a wall as his back was pressed against the cold stone with beats of sweat racing down his head.

"Calm down, your fine," the familiar voice said and his bright blue eyes focused on the hybrid still by the couch Lance was napping on.

"Keith..." He breathed relieved.

"You okay?" Keith sat on the couch and Lance slowly made his way back.

"Oh yea I'm fine," Lance smirked at him.

"Lance..." Keith bit his lip looking at him worriedly.

"You where vibrating again, like your molecules," he touched lances shoulder gently.

"It was just a nightmare man, I swear," Lance waved him off.

"I know it was a nightmare, I'm also the only one that knows why, so I guess I'm trying to say is that your not alone," Keith whispered even if no one was in the room.

"I know Keith, I never have," Lance cupped his cheek smiling down at him as Keiths eyes widen and blushed.

"God fuck this, I wish we didn't have to hide," Lance pulled his hand back closing his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Keith tilted his head to the side missing his touch.

"Keith we-I, I want to kiss you, I want to take you to dates, I want you but I know we can't, but can we?" Lance grabbed his hands and Keiths eyes widen.

"No!" He said quickly and Lance pursed his lips gulping back a little.

"We're both fucked up Keith, you don't have to be scared, and the galra won't find you I swear..." Lance lowered his voice as Keith didn't look at him.

"Lance I'm galra, they'll find my scent if I 'activate' or some shit my feelings like having a mate, the galra have specific scents and passion is stronger than any other," Keith blushed softly but Lance squeezed his hands.

"I know Keith, but I want to be able to treat you like an actual boyfriend, this isn't enough," Lance closed his eyes rubbing Keiths knuckles softly.

"When we defeat the galra, first thing I'm doing is running to you," Keith whispered softly and Lance laughed softly. He embraced the hybrid softly and kissed his head softly, inhaling his scent softly as Keith wrapped his arms around lances chest.

"I love you," Lance smiled into his hair holding Keiths head against his chest.

"No you don't Lance, we're just kids," Keith closed his eyes wrapping his arms around Lance.

"Doesn't mean I can't love you," Lance smiled at him.

"Don't love me..." Keith buried his face against lances chest, even if he was a couple months younger than Keith, they acted older than they should.

"Then I'll wait for you," Lance gripped Keiths chin making him look up into lances eyes smiling back up at him.

"I'll wait too," he nodded but be didn't say three simple words... It was hard to love someone that you only can hold hands and kiss on hands and head, but they couldn't if they didn't want to risk everything. Them. No one on the team knows they where together, only think they have dorky crushes on each other but they had to hide it more and more so Keith couldn't be found.

Keith was a soldier, an assassin for the galra, he escaped two years ago and found a kind human he found favoritism in and promised to be at his side as long as they where always in trouble.

He hasn't left Lance since they met.

"Come on, we have some ass to kick," Lance offered Keith a hand as he stood up and smiled down at him. Keith blushed softly and stood up but gripped lances hand tightly as they walked down to the door, once they got to the metal doors their hands unlocked from each other the two walked in the room their friends where in. Ready to be made fun of for coming in together.

"Aw Keiths blushing, did you get some alone time with your boyfriend?"

"Pidge leave them alone,"

But not like they where wrong. Lance smiled a little at that.
