True Love

Lost

"Lance!!!" Keith screamed. Quickly grabbing Lance's hand, they both fell, staring into each other's eyes for what seemed like hours, but was only a second. Keith was first to break the look, he panicked looking around them, he reached for the cliffside, his eyes turning do to the stress of trying to save Lance, but trying not to hurt him either. He wrapped his arm around Lance, reaching out with the other, trying to slow the fall, bringing his feet in as well. This hurt Keith, in more ways then one. Lance was frozen. He had thought he'd die by his own hand one day, but never had he thought he'd take a life along the way.

Keith's shifting becoming deeper, giving him a bit of... Strength.

He slowed their fall enough, though hitting the land harshly. Keith quickly looked to Lance, eyes still shifted as he panicked.

"Lance, are you okay!?! Are you hurt!?!" Keith asked, panic completely in his voice, his panic shifted to anger.

"Lance, what the hell was that!?! Are you insane!??!! Did you do this on purpose!!!?!" Keith asked, completely pissed off now.

"K- Keith... Keith l- Keith..." Keith looked to where he was looking, realizing they were, in fact, not on solid ground yet, my a ledge of land on the cliff, that seems to be ready to fall any second do to the sudden weight. Keith took a deep breath, trying to think it through, his eyes shifting back to normal, along with the rest of him.

Land crumbled from beneath his hand, his eyes widen going back to galrain ones. He looked up, to where they fell from.

It's a pretty simple climb form this height, for one person. Though, it's kind of steep, and this land is going to fall any second.

First priority, saving Lance.

"O- Okay... Okay! I know what you need to do" Keith said. Lance looked a bit panicked after that statement.

"What I nee- What we need to do, Keith. We're making it out of this toge-"

"What you need to do. Lance, you need to trust me" Keith said, Lance had a breath of relief, thinking this mean both of them are getting out of this mess.

"I trust you, of course I trust you!! You literally just saved my life!! You-"

"Okay, Lance, I need you to slowly and carefully get on– stand on my shoulders, okay?" Keith asked. Lance stared at Keith for a while, an expressionless face.

"Okay" Lance said, a bit of confusion coming out in his voice. Keith slowly got off of Lance, going down on one knee, fist to the ground. Lance stared for a while, then using his knees on his shoulders, Keith lifted himself in the air, Lance swung back a bit, quickly grabbing onto Keith's face.

"Why do I trust you? Why am I trusting you right now?? I can't do this!! I-"

"Lance, stand up!" Keith commanded. Cutting off Lance's nervous rambling before he could even start. Lance took a deep breath, lifting one foot up.

"Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back, don't look- Oh thank god, I did it" Lance muttered to himself, but then feeling nervous all over again.

"Keeeeith!!!" Lance yell nervously. Keith took that stress, trying to shift more, though it hurts him, he grow taller.

"Lance, reach up!! Try to grab the ledge!!" Keith said, trying to hold back his pain. Lance looked up, reaching out for it, even testing to dangerously get on his tiptoes.

"I can't reach, Keith" Lance said, Keith felt the ground slip below them a bit, moving the slide from the edge a bit more.

"Keith!!" Lance squealed. Keith grow the tallest he could.

"Ack!!" Keith winched, pain seemed to be throwout his body.

"Oh, I'm sorry Keith!! Are you oka-"

"Lance, you trust me, right?" Keith asked.

There was a pause.

"If I didn't I wouldn't be doing this" Lance said.

"Is that a yes?" Keith asked, a bit annoyed. They slipped a bit again.

"Yes! I trust you!!"

"Jump"

"Are you insane!?!"

"Lance, jump up and grab the ledge, I'll help you" Keith said, Lance felt a tap, he looked down seeing Keith's hand.

"Oh god no" Lance said.

"Lance, if you want even a chance of survival, you'd do it, right now" Keith said, Lance took a deep breath, the stepping on his hands, Keith slowly lifted him up. Lance took a deep breath.

"C- Can you count me down?"

"Really, you want a countdown at a mo-"

"Can you just... Please?"

"Five..." Keith made his arms bend a bit.

"Four..." Lance nervously bent his shaky knees.

"Three..." Lance looked down at Keith.

"Two..." Keith looked up at Lance for the last time, tears running down his face as he smiled.

"One" Keith pushed up at Lance jumped.

He got the edge, Lance laughed joyfully, climbing up. Keith shrunk back to normal, everything human again, he let out a cry, thanking all the gods, thanking Voltron that Lance was okay. Lance looked to Keith joyfully. Lance giggling madly, his joy slowly draining.

"How are we going to get you up?" Lance asked. Keith's smiled slowly fell, but he noticed how tired his body felt, with all that shifting, he want nothing more but to just...

Sleep.

Keith gave a soft smile.

"Lance, you and I both knew I wasn't going to make it up there" Keith said, his eyes blinked a few times. Fear went throw Lance's face.

"I- I'll go get the other!! Come on, Keith!!! You just got back- You just got to meet your mom for the first time!! You can't leave, not again!" Lance cried, choking. Lance could see how far down this thing is, there was no way Keith was surviving the fall.

"Lance... I love you. If I make it out of here... Alive... Can I marry you?" Keith asked. Lance choked.

"Yes!! Yes, of course!! And you'll make it out of here Keith!! I love you too, Keith! So much..." Tears fell from Lance's face, as he reach at, desperately trying to get him. Keith smiled tiredly.

"Thank you... For.... Everything...." Keith tried to fight his tiredness. He looked into Lance's eyes one last time, a tear fell form Lance's face on to Keith's.

Keith wiped it from his face.

"Don't cry, love... After all.... I proved myself, didn't I?" Keith asked. His smiled dropped, his eyes rolling back, he feel back as he passed out. Lance's eyes widen in horror.

"KEITH!!!!"
