It's Different There (Klance Alternate Reality AU)

Part 9

Lance frowned a little, unintentionally, when Keith pulled away. His expression softened quickly when he saw the slight fear in Keith's eyes. "No it's fine.. It was kinda nice," he admitted with a slightly awkward smile. Who was he kidding. He loved the hug he got from Keith, but he'd never tell him that. Not until he knew for sure what his and Keith's feeling were.
"Do you want to make it back to the others? I might go and wash Blue's claws though, its been awhile since I've last washed them."

"You....wash your lion's claws??" Keith asked with a confused tilt of his head. " never heard that one before" he chuckled, glancing off for a moment.
"We're sleeping in that...tent...thing..tonight right?" He asked all of a sudden, remembering that's what they had initially gotten the pillows and blanket for. The others were probably wondering where they were at the moment.

"It's called a pedicure, mullet," he said while placing his hands on his hips at Keith chuckling at how he kept his Lion clean.
"Yeah, well the people from our reality will sleep there at least," he said while glancing back at where he came from. "If you want we can head back, Shiro'll probably want us to go to bed at a decent time. He'll want us to try and find a way home tomorrow," he said and frowned a little. "Do you think it's even possible? I mean.. Allura here looks a little worn in this world, how will she get us back to our reality?" he asked in a slightly concerned voice.

Keith sighed and looked off. "We both know her. Even in this reality I'm sure she can do it." His gaze went back to Lance for a moment. " let's not worry about it now. It hurts my brain" he chuckled and started back to the lounge room where everyone else was. He looked back at Lance to make sure he was following. 

Lance nodded and smiled a little as Keith chuckled while followed by him down the Castle's hallways back to the lounge room.

Once they got back someone had put up some little lights around the tent. The way they were stringed made them look kind of like Christmas lights. Keith wondered where they had found them. The light was out except for the tiny glows of the Christmas lights and a lamp that projected stars onto the ceiling and turned slowly. It was all so beautiful that Keith had to stop and stare for a few seconds.
