Muted Treasure

Party!

The party went on and there were a sea of drunk teenagers and people dancing. But there was a group, the Voltron group stood together having their own little party. Pidge and Lana were hammered and Hunk is a little tipsy, Shiro being the responsible one and being the driver, kept his drinking to a minimum. Keith drank some, but Lance kept to himself just holding a cup. Matt didn't want to come to the party, seeing how he had a project due on Monday and didn't start. Plus he didn't wanna wake up to a hangover. So as the party went on, the night started to get more loader and crazier. Pidge turned to the group and smirked, tonight will be the night her plan with succeed.

"Hey guys! Let's play a game!" Pidge smirked and everyone had curiosity in their eyes.

"What game Pidge?" Allura asked, she looked cautiously at the drunken teenager.

"Let's play seven minutes in heaven." Pidge smirked and Allura eyes sparkled, obviously onto Pidge's plan.

"I'll pick players since it's my party. First it will be Lana and Pidge in one closet, Keith and Lance in the other." Allura smiked

Pidge eyes widen and looked at Allura with a snarl as they got into different closets. Lance was slowly dying inside, he didn't know what he was supposed to do. Keith looked into Lance's eyes and couldn't look away. Even in the dark space his eyes still looked bright and hopeful.

"Hey, you ok?" Keith asked, Lance hummed in response and tried to make sure Keith was close. Lance shook a little, he hated dark close spaces. Ever since he was little, he never really liked the dark. Seemed like something was trying to get him and take him away. Lance felt Keith and tried to get closer, he felt Keith shoulders and brought him into a hug. Lance kept shaking, his hands fidgeted with the hem of his own shirt.

"Hey, Lance. What's the matter? You're shaking." Keith touched Lance's chin to make him look at him. With the dim light they had from under the door, Keith saw Lance's face. His eyebrow knitted together and his eyes were wide.

"Hey Lance! Look at me. It's gonna be okay. I promise." Keith said rubbing circles on Lance's back. Lance hid his head in Keith's shoulder, he shook in Keith's arms. Keith kept rubbing Lance's back, Keith guided Lance to sit in the floor to make him more comfortable. Keith put Lance on his lap, still rubbing cycles on his back.

"Hey look at me." Keith said and Lance lifted his head. Keith caressed Lance's cheeks and rubbed away tears, he leaned in and kissed Lance. Slowly and reassuring, it wasn't heated like other people do in Seven Minutes In Heaven. It was slow and passionate, caring and soft. They backed up a couple minutes later, Keith looked into Lance's eyes. Their cheeks bright red, Keith realized what he done and his eyes widen a little.

"I'm sorry Lance! I kissed you without asking you first! I'm sorry!" Keith apologized over and over again. Lance shook his head and smiled, he brought his head closer and kissed Keith again. This time it was a little more passionate, Keith tightly wrapped his arms around Lance, bringing him closer as could be. Lance wrapped his arms around Keith's shoulders and melted into the kiss.

Lance kept telling himself over and over again that he was dreaming. No way would Keith Kogane kiss someone like him, Lance brought his head back and looked at Keith. He put his hand on Keith's face and stroked his cheek. Both of their lips swollen, smiles on both their faces.

"Lance I-"

"Times up kiddos! No baby making in the closet." Allura chuckled, the two head's snapping over to the door.

"Did they kiss?" Pidge asked from outside the door, Keith groaned at the two.

"Well it seems like it, come see!" Allura giggled, Pidge peaked her head into the closet to still see lance in Keith's arms. Lance against the wall with Keith holding him.

"Wow. I didn't think it would actually happen!" Pidge laughed, Keith stepped back from holding Lance and he frowned. He didn't want to end the kiss, Keith took Lance's hand and led them both out the closet. They looked around to see their friends smirked and Lana with a bright red face.

"Did you kiss Pidge?!" Lance signed excited, Lana nodded her head and tried to hide her face. Lance laughed and held his stomach, Lana punched his shoulder and Lance yelped, he rubbed his shoulder with a smirk.

As the party went on, they had a few more drinks. Lana was drunk and decided to dance with Pidge, them both laughing and dancing together. Hunk stayed with shay the whole time, Shiro and Allura danced too. Him grabbing her waist and Allura wrapped her hands around Shiro's neck laughing while dancing. But Keith stuck with Lance, he didn't feel right leaving him alone. They both stood in the corner with drinks in their hands.

"Hey wouldn't you like to go dance?" Keith asked and Lance shrugged his shoulders.

"Do you know how to dance?" Keith asked again and Lance shook his head. Keith smiled and took Lance's other hand and led him to the dance floor. Keith grabbed Lance's waist with one hand. Both of their faces red, then they started to move their feet.

"That's it! Your getting it!" Keith said and Lance smiled. He started to move his hips to the sound of the music, letting himself be free away from his life. From his depression, his anxiety, his fears, his loss of his parents. To everything that hurt him in the past. He let them slip away just for tonight because he was with Keith, dancing and smiling with him, loving him even more.

"Hey Lance? Can I tell you something?" Keith asked and Lance nodded getting closer to hear him.

"I like you. I really like you lance." Keith confessed, Lance smiled and kissed him. He put his lips up to Keith's ear and said four words.

"I like you too." Lance smiled and Keith looked shocked. He smiled and brought Lance closer,  tonight was the night that neither of them were gonna forget.
