KEITHS POV
We all work up around the same time. Lance slept in longer than us and knowing he probably didn't sleep much I asked them not to wake him. We all went on with our day some times checking in on him so he wouldn't wake up alone. He was sleeping for so long I got worried and couldn't help it but wake him up. I sat next to him
"Hey lance buddy you gotta get up" I say patting his back. He doesn't wake up.
"Come on lance you should probably be heading home" I say this time closer to him to get his attention. He groaned and pulled the blanket over his face rolling away so I saw the back of him. I got up to leave knowing he wouldn't wake up. Seeing him like this was all the more reason to believe he's suffering. I tried again about an hour later. This time I pulled the blanket off of him and yelled
"Lance wake up" I said. I paraded around him making a lot of noise trying to wake him up. Soon enough he rolled over yawning. I was laughing a little when I got down next to him.
"Good morning- afternoon Sunshine" I said looking down at a fake watch on my arm.
"I forgot how annoying you were" he said not smiling. I settled down.
"We all think you should be heading home soon. We love you being here but I know you have someone waiting so get up let's go" I say slowly gaining my energy back trying to pull him up.
"I'm up I'm up" he says sitting up rubbing his eyes. I don't say anything I let him figure it out.
"What time is it anyways?" he asks. I look up st the clock on the wall
"It's about 1:30" I say. He looks up at me
"Why did you let me sleep so long. You should have woken me up sooner" he smirks knowing I did.
"Ha ha very funny. Your stuff is already packed so get going" I say.
" okay i get it. you just can't wait to see me leave huh." He said noticing his bags by the door.
"you know I want you to stay but I can't keep you away from Noah any longer. I want you two to be happy and I don't want you being here to mess that up" I said handing him his bags. he takes it without saying anything. I could see it in his eyes he was happy but not as happy as he was putting off.
"thank you, for everthing. I know I don't have to say it again but i'm sorry." he said.
"I know and I forgive you. Now let's get over this part of our life shall we. I think it's time we both really move on this time." I say walking him out.
"Okay" he laughs. It's nice seeing him happy. We make it outside and it took a while for him to walk away. I could see he was still attached to this place and the people in it but he knew he had to go. He loves Noah I assume but I can see that he wishes he didn't have anything dragging him away from us.
"Goodbye Lance . I hope I see you again" I say bringing him back to earth.
"Goodbye Keith." He says turning to leave. I didn't go in until he was far enough away. I didn't want him turning around and seeing I was gone.
*LANCES POV*
I was going home. Home to my family where I belong. And now I find myself walking back to Noah. I love him don't get me wrong but I resent him almost, because I feel like he's keeping me from being where I belong. I wish I could have him and be with Voltron but it's just karma and I get it. Why should someone like me get everything he wants. I guess I deserve this. I was almost to Noah's place when I started getting cold felt. It wasn't that I was uncomfortable with Noah it was that I felt wrong. I get it I always feel wrong that's why I didn't give it a second though. I knew Noah would be coming home soon so I was glad I could go in without having to see him so soon. I want him to know I picked him but I also don't feel up for any emotions or talking right now. I opened the door with the key he gave me and was surprised to see him standing in the kitchen. He didn't hear me come in but the sound of the door made him turn around. When he saw me he didn't move for a second then slowly walked over to me and hugged me.
"What are you doing home I though you would be at work?" I asked
He dug his head into my neck and held me tight.
"I took the day off when I didn't see you come home last night. I wanted to be here if you came back". He said. I held him back closing my eyes genuinely enjoying the hug. It brought me back and out of my own head. I just lived in the moment and realized it's not as bad as I'm making it. He kissed my neck then kissed my lips.
"I knew you would come back. I trusted you." He says kissing me again.
"I didn't find what I was looking for but I knew I had it with you." I say without any real emotion behind what I was saying
"I was so worried when you didn't come home yesterday. I had to sleep alone and it was harder than I thought would be" he said letting go of me to sit on the counter and talk to me.
"Speaking of that I'm really tired. I think I'm just going to take a nap for a while." I say yawning. He looked hurt maybe because I didn't give him the I love you I want you speech he expected.
"Oh okay" he says slowly getting of the counter.
"Is there a problem with that" I say snappy. He looked surprised. We've never really been the argumentative type.
"No not at all. I just- never mind. We can talk when you wake up" he looked as if he had a lot to say but he stopped himself. I walked away from him closing the bedroom door behind me. I slipped off my shoes and coat before laying down in the bed sliding under the covers. In the middle of all the silence I heard a loud bang come from outside the room. It made me flinch but I assumed it was Noah throwing a fit in the kitchen. I shook it off and covered my face with the blanket. I tried to think about why I was with Noah and how much I love so I could drowned out all the thoughts telling me I made the wrong choice. Even if there was no choice to be made Keith moved on and I didn't feel anything. I love Noah. I am happy with Noah. I tell myself hoping when I wake up I will believe them again.
