New Phase Of Life (Voltron klance AU)

A Little Bet

It was after Keith reached the castle that he immediately regretted his decision of carrying Lance bridal style. “We’re here! What’s up?” Keith asked putting Lance down beside him gently. Everyone simply stared at Keith since he usually was at odds with the other paladin and all of a sudden he was treating him like a princess. “Okayyy~, so we have a problem. That orb which was supposed to appear a little while from now is going to appear earlier than expected. The gravitation readings from these coordinates are equally as high from when Lance was sucked in” Pidge elaborated. “And that means I have to prepare myself to become mincemeat once again?”  Lance inquired.

“Well, yeah and since you can’t pilot you lion now, we decide that you would use an escape pod to travel inside the orb” Hunk informed Lance as he dragged Lance away to get him into armor. Hunk turned his head towards Keith before entering the castle and winked at him. The black paladin flushed immediately knowing exactly was Hunk was pointed at. “Is Lance feeling better now?” Allura asked Keith as she walked over to his side. She had been concerned for her friend knowing his sensitive nature. She had hoped that the other paladin had helped in recovering his confidence.

“Yeah, I guess” he hesitated a little before answering. Sure things had gotten better between them but he was confused about whether Lance liked him or not. Female hormones were way different from male ones so all of Lance’s reactions and responses were befitting a woman, not the usual Lance. Unless Lance was actually interested in Keith and this was simply an excuse for him to let out his feelings but that was totally not happening as the red paladin was still very fond of the Princess. “Here’s the plan, Keith” Shiro interrupted and walked to Keith “You’ll be the one to pilot Lance into the orb but, since we trust you to be quick on your feet, you’ll have to eject by yourself and only let Lance be absorbed”

“Totally, but I do wonder what a female Keith would be like?” Pidge chuckled joining on the conversation. Everyone giggled a little at her attempt to lighten the mood. “I bet I would pretty much be the same. Personality wise, you know considering how Lance still remained a moron. Considering looks…” Keith actually gave a sane answer and pondered while rubbing his forehead about how he would look like a woman. “Really charming! Absolutely sexy but I can bet you he’d be a lesbian” Pidge stated, grinning. “Why would you say that? Appearance has nothing to do with sexuality!” Shiro retorted almost sounding offending but he tried to clear up “And if you ask me, I’d say he’s totally asexual”

“Excuse me” Keith raised a brow. “Nope, he’s gay. I can bet on that for sure” the sheer amount of confidence in her answer was enough to make anyone there shiver. “They are forgetting that I’m standing right here” Keith sighed for which Allura rubbed his shoulders. “Fine then, Keith, tell us your sexuality,” Shiro asked the black paladin, dead serious. “You guys, I spent most of my teenage trying to not cause any trouble at the garrison-“ he was cut of Shiro

“Which did not work at all since I had to bail you out every single time” he jokingly mocked.

“-thank you for that but still the remaining time I spent was researching some random energy levels appearing at a desolate place on Earth. I didn’t even have enough human interaction to make friends and here you are, talking about my sexuality. Screw you” he lashed out and went over to Coran who was busy setting up the pod for him and Lance.

“Wanna bet?” Pidge said with a shit eating grin. “You’re on, nugget!” Shiro concurred “Winner takes the others allowance for the next space mall visit”. Seeing her paladins act so childish, Allura couldn’t help but smile. However, they need a third party’s answer to decide the victor which would certainly be Hunk. He was surprisingly good at reading people’s minds.

Speak of the devil, the yellow paladin emerged from the castle with his best friend who was wrapped up in his own armor. The armor for the paladins adjusted based on their bodies so it still fitted Lance’s curvy body like a charm. Looking at Lance, Keith blushed because damn, was he sexy for what? “L-let’s not waste any time and head out” Keith cleared his throat before settling himself on one seat and offered the other to Lance. The red paladin left his friend’s care and went to Keith.

In the next few minutes were waved their friends goodbyes who gave them thumbs up good luck and launched up to find the orb. Meanwhile Hunk walked over to Shiro and Pidge. “Hunk, my man, the right man for the job!” Pidge exclaimed “ So we have a question for you and you need to answer is truthfully”

“Of course, ask away” the cinnamon roll boy would never lie to his friends. “Is Keith Gay or asexual ?” the former black paladin asked bluntly. Pidge coughed as she wanted to sugar coat the statement but she was glad Shiro was blunt, saved her the trouble. “Gay, obviously, like do you guys not see how in love with Lance that boy is. I think the statement ‘lover boy’ is more for him then Lance- Oh shit” Hunk clarified until he realized his blunder. This was supposed to be a secret. Now Keith will come for his throat.

“ Shit, I was so sure I knew him we- Did you say he is in love with Lance?” Shiro asked for confirmation. His sorrow of losing the bet was overcome with surprise with the little revelation he just had about his brother. “Oh damn, this is way~ more serious than I thought. By the way, Shiro you owe me” the little paladin hopped in the joy of winning a very basic bet.

Keith wanted to break the silence with Lance in the pod but he had to focus on the radar and follow the reading it showed. Thankfully, Lance decided to take charge for the moment “Listen, mullet, I just wanted to thank you for all you did today. I’ll be back to being myself soon and also back to being your rival. Then we can head to whooping that Lotor guys ass!”

The girl Lance with a foul mouth was funny but soon the idiotic moron- moron whom Keith was madly in love with will be back. That brought relief to Keith’s face. “Yeah, let’s hope everything goes well- Oh look, there is that asshole!” Keith pointed at the massive black hole before them. It was sucking in everything around them which made both the paladins wary. They couldn’t be reckless. The pod was also being sucked in thus Keith had to eject immediately.

“I’ll go, Lance, see ya later!” as was about the press his seat’s eject button, he pulled Lady Lance in for a quick peck on his lips. He thought that maybe after Lance comes back as a man, he wouldn’t like being touched by Keith so this was the last kiss he could land on his crush. “KEITH!- shit I need to focus. Okay here are the controls. Pilot right into that hole!” he wanted to yell at the boy for making him blush madly in this situation but there were more pressing matters at hand.

He had the wheel in his hands and pressed the accelerator and dived right into the mouth of the orb. With a bright flash of light, the pod vanished into the hole which also slowly disappeared as well. Keith saw the whole ordeal and it took almost all of his jet pack fuel to prevent being sucked in by that orb of energy. “Looking forward to seeing the old Lance back” the paladin exclaimed loudly though no one heard him and headed back to where the castle was.
