Third P.O.V

Lance watched as a tired and miserable Keith entered the room, rubbing his eyes. He lazily flopped onto the sofa, letting out a slight groan.

"Someone's tired" Lance said, smirking a little. Keith gave him a scowl.

"We've literally been going on missions for the past seven days, Lance. We're all tired" Keith mumbled.

"I'm not tired" said Pidge, making herself known.

"Neither am I" said Hunk. Keith rolled his eyes.

"Whatever. I'm not that tired" He said, sitting up properly and trying not to look sleepy. His eyes were half open and had multiple bags under them. Shiro entered the room, inspecting everyone else.

"Okay team, today we'll being doing some more training" He said, ignoring Keith's tired face. After all, he knew Keith wouldn't go to bed anyways.

"uuuUuUuUgGHH but Shiroooo" Lance said, whining slightly.

"No buts. Butts are for sitting on. It's training time" Shiro said, shocking the others with the joke. Classic dad jokes. Keith sighed before standing up, making his way to the training deck. Lance and the rest of the team started making their way there too.

"Okay team, it's training time. I'll be putting you into groups. Hunk and Pidge, you're in a group. Lance and Keith' you're in a group. I'll be on my own seeing I'm going to watch you and tell you what to improve on" Shiro said. Lance felt his heart leap at the thought of being in a group with Keith. Sure, he and Keith were rivals. But that was mostly because Lance had the hugest fricking crush on him. He only acted as his rival because he didn't want to admit his feelings towards him.

"Let's go mullet" Lance said, trying to keep his cool. The two got into position and prepared to fight. A robot hopped down, a sword in hand. It then began charging at the two. Keith and Lance jumped into action.

A few minutes into the training session two more robots hopped down, added by Shiro. Apparently the two of them were doing too well. Lance was fighting off the one with a gun and Keith was dealing with the other two. However, Lance noticed Keith seemed to be struggling. His eyes looked tired and he was sweating a lot, not to mention his sword looked awkward in his hands. Lance had got to admit, Keith looked hot. But this wasn't the reason he was watching him.

Keith's actions began to get slower and slower, screwing with his reflexes too. His blocking became weaker and he eventually got knocked down. Lance, not wanting Keith to get hurt, quickly shot his robot and ran over to help Keith, shooting both of the robots down. Keith lent against the wall, his head up and panting intensely.

"You okay, mullet?" Lance asked, looking slightly worried. Keith panted a little more before replying.

"Yeah... I'm good" He said, wiping the sweat off of his forehead. Shiro noticed the two and decided to speak up.

"Okay team I think that's enough training for today. Let's all head into the sofa room and grab something to drink" Shiro said, smiling at everyone.

Once in the sofa room everyone sat down, grabbing a water bottle. Keith chugged his entire water in about thirty seconds, still panting. His eyes were starting to close and he looked extremely tired.

"Okay guys, reflection time" Shiro said, standing up in front of us all. "Gather around"

Everyone moved a little closer to each other. Lance felt himself starting to blush when sitting so close to Keith. The red paladin, however, was too tired to even care. He hadn't been sleeping well lately and his extra night time training was starting to take a toll on him. He rubbed his eyes, praying he'd stay awake.

Shiro started talking about 'self reflection' and 'trying to the best of your ability', nothing of that much interest. Keith was very quickly starting to fall asleep. He closed his eyes, thinking it would be okay to just rest his eyes for one second.

Lance felt a sudden weight on his shoulder. He looked to his side to see Keith's head there.

Lance had a bi panic.

Keith

his crush

was laying

on his shoulder.

He looked at Keith's face only to see one of exhaustion. He smiled softly at the red paladin and gently put Keith's head on his lap, making him more comfy. Pidge looked at him and wiggled her eyebrows, making Lance blush.

"He fell asleep, okay? I was just helping a friend out" Lance mumbled, running his fingers through Keith's hair. He'd dreamt of doing this.

"Yeah well the blush on your cheeks says otherwise" Pidge said, giggling cheekily. Lance went even more red.

"Keith has been training pretty hard lately. It was only a matter of time before he dropped" Shiro said, smiling at the two having a little bonding moment. Keith rolled over in his sleep, burying his face into Lance's stomach. Lance blushed even more if possible.

"Wow, I guess he likes cuddling with you" Pidge pointed out. Lance rolled his eyes but smiled. He liked this Keith. The friendly cuddly one. Not the fierce and loner one. Keith started mumbling a little.

"Laaaance..." he mumbled, smiling a little. Lance let out a squeak. Keith was sleep talking about him!? Was this a dream!?

Keith wrapped his arms around Lance, hugging him in his sleep.

"Wow jeez Lance he really seems to like you" Pidge said, chuckling at Lance's face. He looked so shocked and happy at the same time.

"Well I mean... if he does, the feeling is mutual" Lance mumbled, looking at Keith's face. Keith had such a pretty face but a mysterious one at the same time. When Keith was frowning, he looked fierce and intimidating. But in his sleep, he looked so peaceful and relaxed. It was as if awake Keith and asleep Keith were two different people.

"You should take him to bed, Lance" Shiro suggested. "I'd stay with him too. He's never looked so happy in his sleep"

"O-Okay" Lance replied, picking up Keith and taking him to his room.

Once there he lay Keith on his bed, climbing in next to him. Keith wrapped his arms around Lance, mumbling his name a few more times. Lance smiled and hugged him back.

This boy would totally kill him in the morning.

AHHHH I'VE GOTTA GO TO SLEEP OTHERWISE I'LL BE DEATH AT SCHOOL. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed!
