Keith One Shots

~In Another Life~

Are you ready for the klangst? No? Too bad sucker because this is what you're getting. I've wanted to write this chapter for a while now but when ever I go to write it I just don't know how to make it good. Anyways, let's do this....

Also play the song whenever you want. I just put it here for the feels.

Third P.O.V

There they were...

Two Paladins...

Two lovers...

Both bruised...

Both hurt...

These two paladins lay side by side, unable to get up...

These two paladins....

Were Keith and Lance...

"Heh... I never thought it would end this way" Keith said, carefully turning his head so he could look at his lover. He could see that Lance had taken a blow to his shoulder, his chest and his leg. Lance looked into Keith's violet eyes.

"I-I was so sure... w-we were gonna win.." Lance replied, barely getting out a whisper. "M-Maybe the team will come find us? M-Maybe they're still... a-alive?" Keith took hold of Lance's hand.

"They aren't coming for us Lance. We need to face that fact" Keith's voice was dull and slightly croaky. He had also taken a blow to his chest and his leg was drowning in a pool of his own blood.

"You're right... I guess this is it..." Lance said, small tears forming in the sides of his eyes. "It's really the end"

"Yeah" Keith could feel his vision starting to become blurry. "I love you Lance"

"I love you too Keith..." Lance's eyes were starting to close as he took his final breaths. Keith was so out of it he barely felt Lance's last gentle hand squeeze before his eyes went dull and his chest stopped moving. Keith gripped Lance's hand and let the silent tears roll down his cheeks.

"See you in the next life, my love..."

"Keith! It's time for school!" Shiro shouted, making Keith spring out of bed.

"Okay okay I'm coming!" he shouted back, already starting to get changed. Once changed he lazily dragged himself down the stairs and sat down.

"You overslept..." Shiro said, putting a plate of toast in front of him. Keith looked at him with tired eyes.

"Sorry. How late did I sleep in?"

"Well the bus leaves in.... five minutes" Shiro said, looking down at his watch.

"Holy jeez I gotta run! See you later Shiro!" Keith shoved a slice of toast in his mouth, grabbed his back pack and waved his foster brother goodbye as he charged out of the door.

Luckily, he just made it in time and managed to sit in his usual seat where his friend Pidge was already sitting.

"You overslept, didn't you?" She said, putting the book she was reading aside.

"Yeah, a little. I didn't get much sleep last night" Keith wiped the toast crumbs off his jacket and got out his phone.

"That same dream again, huh?"

"Yeah, it's always the same people. And it feels so... real" Keith said, thinking back to the dream. "This time I was lying beside the really cute guy. I think we were dying. We said we loved each other and I saw him die. Then I think... I think I died too"

"And how long have you had this dream?"

Keith thought about it for a second. "Well, its not always the same dream. The dreams just always include the same people. It's me, you, Shiro, Hunk, Allura, Coran and that other guy. I can't remember his name"

"That's pretty freaky dude"

"I know right. I think the freakiest part is that I can't seem to remember the dreams after a few days. Like, I forgot the one I had yesterday already"

"huh... Weird" Pidge said, clearly losing interest. She went back to reading her book so Keith put his headphones on and listened to some MCR.

The bus stopped right outside Keith and Pidge's school and they both stepped out. As soon as they did so, Hunk ran at them, a huge beam on his face like always.

"Hey guys!? Did you hear? There's a new kid in our class! His name is Lance!" Hunk shouted. Keith felt a weird tingle from inside of him. Lance? Why did the name sound so familiar? He shook it off and gave Hunk a smile.

"Cool. Where is he?" Pidge asked, walking into the gates of the school and looking around for any new students.

"He's uhhh... Oh! There he is!" Hunk shouted, running into a certain direction.

Keith squinted his eyes...

And then he saw him...

"We had a bonding moment! I cradled you in my arms!"

"I've got you buddy!"

"Lance? Lance come in!"

"Okay okay, calm down."

"What were you doing out there!?"

"You're shoving too hard!"

"When I say vol, you say tron. Vol?"

"Vol...tron?"

"Lance, I love you. I love you and I want to be with you"

"Keith... I love you too"

"See you in the next life, my love"

The memories flooded both boys' minds the minute they made eye contact. They both cautiously approached each other, still linked through eye contact. Once they were only but a meter apart, Keith spoke...

"It's you..."

There they were...

Two boys...

Two strangers....

Both confused...

Both in shock...

These two boys stood face to face, unable to say more...

These two boys...

Were Keith and Lance...
