"You are stressing me out" Lance cried, tugging on his hair. He knew it was a mess. He was a mess. "Keith, do we even have time to change all of that? The wedding is tomorrow" Keith scratched the back of his neck as he considered Lance's words.

"I just... It would be really cool if Kolivan could do the ceremony. He said that members of the Blade of Marmora have special bonding ceremonies that are kind of like weddings" Keith explained. He leaned into Lance's side. They were curled up on the couch of their temporary apartment. They had been back on Earth for almost a year, now that the war was over. They had successfully defeated the Galra and freed all their prisoners. It had taken a while for all of them to readjust to civilian life back on Earth, but everything seemed to be working out alright. The five of them stuck close together on Earth, Allura and Coran returned to space shortly after the war ended, wanting to spend time finding the rest of the lost Alteans.

"What is the 'bonding ceremony?'" Lance asked. "That sounds dangerously close to something sexual. I'm not doing tha—" Keith elbowed Lance in the said.

"Get your mind out of the gutter" he grumbled. "Kolivan will do the speaking, talking about how big of a decision this is and how lovely it is that we choose to be bound to each other for the rest of our lives" Keith explained, curling further into Lance's side. "I've heard it's really beautiful. After he's done we exchange blades and—"

"But I don't have a blade" Lance pointed out. "Most families don't just have like... pretty knives like you" Lance pointed out. Keith nodded quickly.

"I know that!" he said, a hint of excitement in his voice. "So... I talked to Kolivan and he created one for you" Lance lifted his eyebrows. "I- I know that I hadn't asked you yet but... I was pretty sure you would say yes..." he said in embarrassment. Lance opened his mouth to say something, but Keith cut him off. "I have the knife here, so you can see it!" He rushed across the room and reached into his bag by the front door. Keith pulled out a small knife, around the size of his own, with a gleaming silver blade. He placed it carefully in Lance's hands. The dark gray twisted metal weaved in and out as it wrapped around the hilt. Buried in the base of the handle there was a dark blue gem.

"Keith..." Lance said in awe as he stared at the beautiful object in his hands. Keith settled back onto the couch.

"I know... I know this is super last minute. I know the wedding is tomorrow, but it would mean a lot to me if we could do this" Keith said vulnerably. "But... I completely understand if you say no. I mean, it is last minute and—"

"Keith" Lance said again, resting his hand on Keith's arm. "Babe, I love it" Keith lifted his eyes to meet Lance's.

"Really?" he asked cautiously. Lance laughed quietly and nodded.

"Yeah. I think it would be awesome if Kolivan does the ceremony. And I can tell it's really important to you—"

"It really is" Keith said, a smile spreading across his face. He curled into Lance's side, Lance snaked his arm around Keith's waist instinctively.

"Then I think we should do it" Lance said. "Besides, it sounds fun. And then we can say that we were the first people on Earth to have an alien wedding" Keith smiled fondly at Lance.
