Keith One Shots

~Heart Break Pt. 5/6~

SHHHH I KNOW WHAT I SAID LAST CHAPTER BUT Y'ALL PERSUADED ME I SWEAR THIS IS THE LAST ONE HERE WE GOOOO.

Third P.O.V

It'd been a couple months since the entire ordeal and everyone had dropped it completely. Well, almost everyone. Keith hadn't smiled since it'd happened and he'd distanced himself from Lance but apart from that everyone tried to forget about it. Lance and Allura had broken up a few months before and Lance never came to talk to Keith about a possible relationship. Keith didn't care though. He'd already predicted Lance and him would never be a thing. It still hurt Keith to never be confronted by Lance though. It hurt a lot, actually.

Lance had been conflicted. He didn't know whether he should approach Keith. He wanted to give him and Keith a chance but he didn't think Keith wanted that anymore. He would avoid eye contact as much as he could and he hadn't talked to Lance properly since the kiss. Lance had decided that it was finally time to confront Keith. Not just for the sake of their friendship, but just so he could see Keith smile again.

So at this moment, Lance was outside Keith's door, similar to the time he came to Keith before they kissed. He sighed before gently knocking.

"Who is it?"

"It's the pizza man"

"That's not helpful or funny"

"open the door and you'll find out who it is"

Lance heard a lot of shuffling before the doors opened. Keith's expression was already dull, but it seemed to get worse the second he noticed Lance.

"Oh... it's you" He said, looking down at the ground. Lance felt a little hurt by that but he kinda did deserve it.

"Can I come in?" Lance asked, putting on a smile. Keith hesitantly nodded and walked back into his room, standing by the bed. He didn't like how this seemed like a repeat of last time.

"What do you want?" Keith said bitterly. Lance sighed before speaking.

"I know things have been pretty weird between us.."

"You're only just figuring that out?" Keith sassed.

"No. I've noticed for a while. I just didn't know how to talk to you. After what I said when we kissed I was wondering if-"

"If I could be your back up plan before you find someone else?"

"No, not at all. I would never do that Keith."

"Well from what I can tell that's exactly what you wanna do." Keith crossed his arms and turned away from Lance.

"Keith, I don't expect you to believe me but I really like you. After I broke up with Allura I figured I shouldn't talk to you about it because I thought you hated me. I-I guess you still do.."

"I-I don't hate you. I could never hate you... I just... I'm afraid of talking to you I guess..." Keith mumbled, running his hand through his hair.

"You're afraid? Why are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid because no matter what I say to you you'll still treat me the same. That night I talked to you about m-my feelings and then you decide to f*cking make out right outside of the room I was in! I heard it all!" Keith shouted, tears forming in the side of his eyes.

"That's the reason..?"

"And the fact that whenever I go near you I see you and Allura together and it... i-it just hurts! Avoiding you is easier.."

"Well I'm not with Allura anymore, am I?" Lance said defensively. He didn't exactly want to talk about it even though he ended it off himself.

"I just figured if you were going to ask to try us you'd want to because you needed a back up plan..." Keith muttered, wiping his eyes. Lance sighed.

"I'd never think of you like that. Listen, I know I shouldn't say this but... I enjoyed our kiss more than I enjoyed my kisses with Allura. I wasn't sure if it was because of the rush or maybe because I was surprised so I tried to make excuses. Mostly because I was with Allura and I've always liked Allura. I guess I never really thought that maybe I was in love with someone else.." Lance said, a slight blush forming on his cheeks.

"A-At this point I don't know if you're messing w-with me or..." Keith sniffled and wiped his eyes again, trying to hide the tears that were now pouring down his cheeks.

"I'm not messing with you, Keith. If you don't want to be with me then... I-I can understand that. I just... you've been so upset for months now and I-I just wanna see you smile again" Lance said, taking a step closer to Keith.

"I don't wanna hurt anymore.."

"I know Keith, I know." Lance took a deep breath. "That's why I wanna go on a date with you a-and hug you and be in a relationship with you... i-if you're willing to try it"

Keith looked at me in disbelieve.

"D-Do you really want to?"

"Of course. I like you, Keith. I just haven't properly realised it until now"

Keith did something he hadn't done in a while.

He smiled.

"Then I'd be willing to try it." He said, wiping his face. He took a step closer to Lance, making it so they're only a few centre meters apart. He leaned in and...

they kissed.

After a couple weeks of dating the two lovers finally made it official. Allura was fine with it and everyone was happy. Keith became his happy self again and the two couldn't be happier. Their relationship went from boyfriends to husbands and eventually they adopted a child of their own. In the end, they were happy together.

I know it's a really weak ending but I tried, okay? The next few chapters will be requests so prepare for them. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed!
