Halloween - A Klance Fic

Halloween

(LANCE POV) 

Let me tell you a secret about myself, I'm not as cool-headed and smooth as people think. Despite all my flirting, it gets hard to talk to someone one-on-one with this many people around. 

I began to weave my way through the castle, passing familiar and unfamiliar alien faces, my fellow paladins and etc. Finally i found some refreshments, I think. ( you can never tell in space, learned that the hard way) 

Since it was a Halloween celebration, most of the paladins dressed up, along with the Princess and Coran, most aliens were just themselves. No one on Voltron showed each other their costumes, we wanted to surprise each other.

I determined this space drink was in fact punch and took a sip and examined the room. In one corner I saw who I assume is Coran, dressed as a kaltenecker, chatting with some alien species, along with princess Allura who, surprisingly dressed herself as Coran. 

I followed different people with my eyes as I continued to stand alone by the space juice. It was getting boring, maybe no one wanted to talk to me? I was dressed in white sunglasses, a cape, and a top hat, i'm going for a magician vibe. 

I sulk and continue to sip, when I notice someone across the room. 

A tall, pretty bigish dark haired guy with a ponytail and a galra mark, wearing a leather jacket and a mask. 

This should be interesting.

I walk over to the boy standing there and grinned. 

"I haven't seen anyone like you around here before, who are you?" 

The boy looked at me and softly smiled. 

"There's no fun in wearing a mask if you know who I am is there?"

(KEITH POV) 

I've never been able to connect with people. I grew up alone for the most part, no mom, no dad, it was really hard to make even small talk with the people I should be close to. except maybe Shiro. Eventually, people started to just expect me to be cold and dark. yknow? Oh Keith? don't mind him he's always like that. Don't take it personally, he doesn't care about anyone. 

Which isn't true. I care about my family, my friends, it's just hard.

They've come to expect it from me too, I really don't know how to open up to them. 

I'm not a very celebratory person, so you can imagine, I don't do Halloween. But, it was Lance's idea, and damn,  he looked so happy suggesting it. After all the pain i've caused the team I think I could spare one night to make others happy. 

call it a new start i guess. 

I was standing alone in the castle, I didn't want to be there. Id much rather be practicing for battle or sharpening my knife, anything to pass the time before inevitably falling asleep.  But, as I was standing there I saw someone begin to make their was towards me.

A boy around my height in a cape and glasses. Aliens have great taste. He asked me where I was from, I didn't want to say Earth, but I couldn't tell them I was Galra, that would scare them so, I didn't say anything. 

He asked me about my life, and I felt oddly at ease. He was easy to talk to, and he had a way of knowing just what to say to keep me interested. 

he was a lot like lance. 

"So what about your family?" he said to me. 

"I don't really have much family I guess, I do have some close friends though, they're like family to me."
