Things left unsaid

Lance x Keith

Word count: 1570

Info: Lance still feels like it's partially his fault that Keith left the group. If he didn't go to him and complain that he didn't have a lion then Keith wouldn't have left. Now lance is in this dream space where he's surrounded by thousands of white butterflies and with a woman who says she's red.

Song: here comes a thought- Steven Universe

Lance pov
I knew he left cause of me. It had to be. Why else would he leave? I should have just kept this to myself. Now the dynamic is weird and there's this weird empty feeling in my gut that I don't like at all. Looking at his door makes me upset and wish he came back just for the hell of it. "Lance? You good buddy?" I jumped and turned seeing hunk look at me off "Oh! Yeah I'm fine buddy" I plastered a smile as he sighs "You miss him huh?" I shrug cause maybe I am? But how can I miss him even if we were at each other's throats at times. "Uh.."

"It's okay I miss him too. Don't tell this to anyone but I go inside his room and clean his suit. To ease away the empty feelings." Wow now I know I'm not the only one missing him. "Okay? I'm gonna go find Pidge. Later hunk." I walked off and found pidge in her lab tinkering as I noticed the trash person she made of all of us. She had the Keith one closer towards her. "How come Keith is closer?" She looks up and sighs "Cause he was the leader before he left. Why are you here again?" I sigh as I make my way towards the trash people.

"I feel weird. Like I don't know how to explain it." She tilts her head "Is this about Keith?" I shrug again "I guess you can say that. I feel like it's my fault he's gone you know?" She rolled her eyes as she comes closer "Lance, you are feeling guilty. Did you say something that made Keith want to leave?" I groan "I don't know! All I said was Shiro back it's way too many paladins to pilot the lions so I volunteered to step aside but all he said was 'Leave the math to Pidge' like?" Pidge scoffs and shakes her head

"You have guilt built inside and you want to clear it up." I sigh "Or you just really miss Keith. Maybe like him?" I blushed and turned my back on her "As if! Keith and I are just friends.." was that true though? Are we friends now? "Well have your crisis somewhere else cause I need to focus." She pushed me out and I decided to go to bed. Maybe if I sleep it off I'll go away.

"Lance..."

I woke up and see I'm some were I've never been before? Where am I? I take a few steps as I see a small butterfly land on my nose. "Cool. Aren't you a pretty little bug." As I went to grab it, it flew and I chased after it as I stop and see a woman wearing armor that resembled to the red lion. "Uh Hello? Can you tell me where I am?" She rolled her eyes as she comes closer swaying her tail? Okay am I dreaming or fantasizing? Either way it's kinda hot.

"I'm surprised you don't remember this place? Blue always took you here." Wait a minute? I have been here before but it's been awhile since we switched lion's. "Are you.." "The red Lion? Yes I am. I'm here to clear your mind." For being temperamental she's surprisingly easy going. "You have your mind clouded with thoughts that aren't necessary. I actually find some entertaining just because it's adorable seeing you think about about my..Well former red paladin." I blush as she starts walking and I follow slowly. "What have you seen?" She smirks

"I've seen how much you try and forget things. That's really uncalled for! He cradled you in his arms and you forgot it?!" She snarls showing me her teeth as I sigh "I wasn't ready to show that side to him just yet. Honestly I have no idea what I feel for Keith. I'm just digging a hole and hiding myself from it." I held myself as more butterflies show and red eyes me a bit "Stop that at once!" I look at her "What do you mean?" She motions the butterflies "You said something that wasn't so charming.." What did I say? I don't know? "You said it in her your head but not out loud." She circled me as if I was a prey. "No I didn't?! I would never!" "Lies!" More butterflies surrounded me and I was getting eaten by my own lies. "Just tell him! Tell him the truth!"

I look up and see a hand outstretched towards me as I held my shirt looking at his sweet lavender eyes. "Keith?" The way I said his name sounded broken. "Keith? Is that you?" He smiled as I took his hand as the butterflies surrounded us as I looked into his eyes. My eyes started to water and I couldn't bare it. "Tell him the truth Lance" I see red behind him "Is this him?" I asked as she shakes her head "It's a memory you have of him" I blushed because this was the day we watched the stars. Before he decided to go.

"Lance is something wrong?" His voice. God I missed his voice and his face. Him in general I missed. "No. I lied to you saying I'll be good while you go and train with the blades. I never wanted you to go. You are better here with us! With me! Keith I'm sorry I was so harsh on you when you were picked but I just felt I came in second like I always did. Behind you. But that didn't stop me." The memory vanishes as the butterflies leave and red is standing in front of me. "Well done..now look over there" I look and see Keith in his blade suit sitting with his legs crossed taking a breather.

"Is that really him?" She nods "Yes. He always comes in hopes to see you." I smirked at her as I made my way towards him. "Lance. Where are you?" I sit in front of him ad his eyes were closed. "In front of you" his eyes shot open and I smiled. It's been awhile since I've smiled. "Lance? Is that really you?" I nodded as he crawled towards me and wrapped his arms around me. I held back holding tight as if I let go I'll never see him again. "I miss you Keith.." I whispered as he let go and looked at me "I miss you too." I chuckled

"So red has told me you've been waiting for me to come here. Have something to say?" He smiles brightly and God it's wonderful. "I like you Lance. Like a lot and I just couldn't say it cause I wasn't brave enough to tell you. Also I didn't want to tell you cause you'll dismiss it and not return them." Which is true but I've been having an open mind to it so it's getting there. "Dude I could have understood." He gives me his look and I chuckle "Okay, maybe a little but I'm glad you told me cause honestly I think I feel the same. I've been so down and out of it since you left and I just can't put my finger around it. I liked having you around. It's no secret.."

"Please don't use a song lyric from that movie" I laughed "Man I can't believe you remembered it." He chuckles a bit as we looked at each other silently. "I have to go Lance. Let's meet up soon Okay?" I nodded feeling that feeling again. "Wait!" I grabbed his wrist as I leaned and kissed him. The kiss felt so real and the way he pushed back was full of force. "Good luck out there" he smiles "You too sharpshooter" he walks away disappearing as I closed my eyes and opened them again.

The next day I felt better as part of me felt whole again. As I entered the dining room I freeze seeing Keith and a few of the blades. I hold my chest as I quickly try to leave before he sees me. "Lance?" I've been caught. I turn and see Keith pull his hood down "Hey Keith" he was flushed as I did as well "about the other night. You don't have to act on your feelings now. I know it's gonna take time and whatnot I just wanted you to know that I don't want you to willingly jump into it" he kept rambling and I chuckled as I pulled my hood up and walked closer as I pulled his too "Shut up" I pulled his hood while we kissed again. But for real this time. "My feelings are still the same as last night let's just wait Okay?" He nods with his face flushed red as he walks backwards bumping into the wall "Uh I better get inside. Later Lance." I chuckled and then realized I kissed Keith. "Oh Quiznak!"
