Switched?!

Chapter 14

Keith's POV

God. Oh god. Oh my god. What do I do?!

"LANCE!" I shouted, landing my lion in the middle of the battle field, using the red lion as protection from the sky as I ran across the battlefield.

I lifted his head and put it in my lap, tears flooding down my cheeks.

"This is all my fault. I should've just told you how I felt. I should have been there to protect you. I could have saved you...what have I done?!" I cried out into the sounds of Galra laser beams and soaring spacecraft.

"KEITH!" I heard Pidge shout from behind me.

Wait. Pidge?! Oh god. She told the others didn't she?! This is so embarrassing. 

"I told them. Yeah, I know. But, you needed help. Don't try to convince me otherwise." Pidge said, in a snarky tone.

"Keith. You should have been honest with us." Shiro scolded, being the spacedad he was meant to be.

"I know. I'm sorry, but you guys have to help me. My body's been shot. And, more importantly, Lance." I hollered up at them, holding back my sobs.

"I'm coming." Allura gasped, jumping out of Shiro's lion.

"Help me carry him into the blue lion." I told her, lifting Lance by the shoulders.

"I've got it." Allura responded, lifting his legs.

Together we carried my body into the blue lion and laid it in the cockpit. Allura knelt beside Lance and placed her fingertips on his temples. She closed her eyes and light blue magic filled the room. I watched as Lance opened his eyes and coughed to life in her lap. His eyes landed on her with admiration and I felt my heart break a bit.

"Allura? K-Lance?" he sputtered, glancing at both of us.

"It's alright, Lance. I know about the situation." Allura giggled, smiling down at him.

"Oh. Haha, sorry Princess." Lance chuckled, looking my way.

He stood up slowly, his hand over his bloody stomach, and limped towards me. Our eyes locked. 

"Lance?" I whispered.

"Keith." he smiled, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me close to him. I gasped just before he smashed his lips to mine and slid his hand into my hair.

Lance's POV

I felt a tingling sensation the second my lips met Keith's and at first I thought it was an erection, but then it started feeling different. New. I opened my eyes and met two of a beautiful blue shade.

Keith's.

"LANCE!" Keith grinned, his face lighting up with joy.

"MULLET!" I joked back, pressing my forehead to his.

"Um. Well...I better get back to the black lion...I'm glad you're both okay." Allura stammered, backing out of the lion and into the space between Blue and Black.

"Lance. What are we?" Keith whispered to me, his eyes on the floor.

"Let's worry about all that later, we have some Galra-butt to destroy!" I hollered, letting go of Keith.

"You bet!" he smirked, leaping out into space to get to Red.

My lion roared to life and I prepared myself for battle, even though the rest of our team had pretty much annihilated the base already...

"Team?" Shiro called, excitement in his voice.

"Yeah?" we responded together.

"TIME TO FORM VOLTRON!" Shiro shouted out his catch phrase with as much personality as possible.

*Cue animation sequence*

Let's just say, Sendak is probably off crying somewhere after that attack.
