Muted Treasure

Remember, Lance

It's been a few weeks since Lance had awoken from his coma state. At first he wouldn't talk to nobody that wasn't Blake or Justin, but over the time Lance seemed to remember little things, like him being able to come out more. He could talk to people, he would get confused on how much he could talk to them so easily, he was especially comfortable with Lana.

It really shocked the group of friends on how Lance would talk to everybody, well almost everybody, there was a certain mullet head that he wouldn't talk to. Every time someone would ask why he would talk to Keith, they would get the same answer out of the Cuban male.

"I can only remember him being the bully and agitator he is. I don't like him, I hate him."

It started as a pure confidence, but over time, Lance started to hesitate with the same answer. Each time he would get confused on why he would ever say that. One time, Shiro asked him about Keith, he started crying a couple minutes after. It kinda scared Shiro, he thought he said something else.

Lance was honestly confused with his actions towards the mullet. One moment his brain will tell him no, you don't know him! But then his heart would tell him that he loves Keith, he should be in his arms.

It was weird, him wanting-no-craving to be in the arms of his so called 'rival'. All he wanted to do was be wrapped up in Keith's arms and never let go. But for Keith, it was pure torture. The man he wanted, well the man he has doesn't want anything to do with him anymore. He wants to be right beside him, holding his hand and making his boyfriend laugh.

As the days went on, Lance started to remember some things. Leading to the old freaking out and running away. The smoking the blunt, Lana taking it and having a big problem over it.

But today was different for the Cuban male, he fell asleep, earlier than he usually did. When people came to visit, he rejected them. He didn't wanna see no one. Something was itching at his mind, a voice calling over and over again.

"Remember lance, you have to remember."

Remember what exactly? That was the question that circled his mind, he wanted to know what he had to remember so badly.

"Come on lance, remember."

"Remember what?!" He said lowly to himself. He put his hand on his head and rubbed his temples, aslight ping of pain sparked in Lance's head. He was confused, he wanted to remember, the voice in his head driving him insane.

"Lance, will you go out with me?"
"I love you, lance."
"Will you be my boyfriend?"
"I will love you forever and always."
"I love you."

The voice sounded so familiar, those sentences kept spinning round and round in his head. It kept spinning until it suddenly stopped. He looked up to see a raven haired mullet.

"I love you, Lance."

Lance looked at the mullet, blue clashes with purplish grey.

"I love you too Keith."

Keith stares at Lance, he blinks a couple time only to come to realize what he had said.

"You, love me? Wait, do you remember?" Keith asked, his eyes blown wide open. Lance nodded his head and smiled.

"I remember certain things, like us. It took me a while, I'm sorry for what I put you through. I can't remember the Gala though, what exactly happened?" Lance said, Keith looked at lance and frowned a little.

"Lotor tried to kill you."

Lance looked at Keith, Lance placed his hand on his stomach. He could feel the phantom pain along his stomach. He was scared to touch it, scared that if he touched the scare it would bring back how he almost died.

"Lance?"

Lance looked up, Keith was looking at him with a worried expression. Keith saw how lance was almost trembling.

"You okay?" Keith asked, Lance looked at Keith. The tears were building up in his eyes as he looked up at his lover.

"He tried to kill me." Lance whispered, Keith nodded.

"Don't worry, Lotor won't be able to get you for a while. He's in jail for first degree murder and attempted manslaughter, he won't be out for a while." Keith tried to assure Lance. But deep down, Lance was scared, He was scared that people wanted to kill him even more. Before he was scared that the person that kill his parents wanted to come and finish off the family of three. But now, he feels like he has more enemies than ever. Whenever he turns the corner, he feels someone's gonna finish him off.

"Lance?"

Lance looked over to the door to see the rest of the crew. Pidge and Hunk smiled, they quickly ran over and hugged him.

"You remember now?" Hunk smiled, Lance smiled and nodded.

"I remember know. I'm sorry for causing so much trouble. I must have worried you guys, I'm sorry." Lance said quietly, Hunk rapped his arms around Lance and squeezed him.

"You'll never be a bother, and yes you worried us! You almost died and didn't even remember us! You only remembered spending time with Lana!" Pidge frowned, Lance frowned and scratched the back of head.

"I'm sorry." Lance looked at his hands, he didn't wanna look anyone in the eyes. He couldn't look anyone in the eyes, he couldn't even protect himself from his attacker. If he couldn't protect himself, how would he protect his friends?

"It wasn't your fault. It's Lotor's, he was crazy! He was put where he belongs!" Pidge said, crossing her arms at the name of the spawn of Satan.

"Still, I'm sorry for causing you guys to panic." Lance said, he looked around his friends looking guilty.

"It's alright, well. Well should get going, give you two some private time." Hunk winked and quickly ushered Pidge out the room. Shiro making sure everyone was out the room, to give the couple needed time. Once they were alone, Lance grabbed Keith and kissed him. It was a shock to Keith, but quickly melted into it. Soon they needed air and backed away slowly.

"I love you Keith." Lance smiled, Keith rested his forehead on Lance's. They smiled at each other lovely.

"I love you too Lance." Keith smiled, leaning in to kiss him again. Their lips connected and they kissed, it wasn't heated or sexual. It was a nice passionate kiss, that showed how much they really loved each other.
