New Phase Of Life (Voltron klance AU)

"I'll Always Love You"

Lance was struggling really hard to get himself out of Keith’s hold however every inch of movement caused a shrieking pain in his body. “Stop moving around! You are gonna make us both fall like this!” Keith scolded the red paladin. Eventually, Lance stopped and tears rolled down his cheeks. “J-Just lemme go~” he whined trying to prevent his voice from cracking. The black paladin’s thoughts were overwhelmed with concern as to why is Lance crying. He stopped in his tracks, looking for a bench to sit on and ask Lance what happen.

After spotting a seat, he laid Lance gently on the bench and sat beside him on the little space that was left. “Hey, hey please tell me what’s wrong,” Keith asked him. “Just go away!” Lance screamed after mustering up the strength to pull himself up. “Lance, I won’t leave until you tell me what wrong” Keith pleaded and scooted closer to Lance’s female self. The red paladin put an arm behind Lance and looked at him sympathetically. He knew for a fact that Lance was going through a lot because of this transformation and especially the fact that even after trying their one and only shot at this problem, he still was unable to turn back.

“I just- I’m so useless!” Lance spoke “I really- this is just pathetic. I know I have always been a notch behind everyone else but now I’m also being a drag. I’m holding you guys back” Keith was shocked. He was unaware of how to respond to this problem because he never saw it the same way as Lance. “Don’t say that about yourself” Keith told him sternly. Indeed the red paladin had some annoying qualities but those were what made him Lance. “You are fine just the way you are!’ he told him and tried to reach out for his hand which Lance snatched away. “You are just saying that- you don’t know anything thing,” he said causing Keith’s expressions to contort.

From Keith’s point of view, Lance was just an annoying guy who claimed to be his rival for no reason but ever since they had to form Voltron and take charge of defending the universe, he grew to understand and like their friendship. When Shiro disappeared, the one person who supported Keith nonstop was Lance and that was when Keith began harboring feelings for this boy. Now, this was his opportunity to be by Lance’s side when he needed someone the most.

“I’ll be holding you guys back now! Do you understand how pissed Allura will be when she finds out that the paladin of the red lion is useless now? I’ll need protection at all times and eventually, you’ll get tired of-“Lance rambled on when Keith cut in “WE WILL NOT GET TIRED OF YOU!” Lance was shaking after hearing Keith roar like that. He pulled himself away which Keith ended up noticing and he again moved closer to Lance. “I’ll never get tired of you, Lance! I love you way too much to ever get tired of you” he confessed staring deeply into Lance’s blue eyes.

Lance looked puzzled until he figured out what Keith had just said. Though his negatives thoughts were getting in the way again. “You- you are just saying that because right now I’m a girl! Allura did not like the same way you liked her so now you are trying your chance w-” he defended when he suddenly felt a pair of warm soft lips on hi1s own. Keith had pulled him into a gentle and loving kiss before Lance would have burst a fuse. Lips locked, he gently trailed his arms on Lance’s slender back. Lance closed his eyes, taking in the moment, his hand automatically found their way behind Keith’s neck to deepen the kiss. Lance parted his lips slightly permitted Keith to enter his tongue into Lance’s mouth. When the black paladin saw Lance’s attempt at seducing him, all he wanted to was ravish the inside of his mouth and take his body into his arms right now. Still, he held back his urges and finally moved Lance away.

Lance realized how invested he became in the kiss. A highly pigmented blush colored his cheeks and he tried to run away but Keith pulled him into a warm, tender hug. “Ah-Kei-” he tried to speak though Keith shushed him out. “Lance, I love you. I have always been in love with you even when you were a guy. I’ll always love you even if you turn into a woman or any other alien. You are Lance; the person I love and no matter happens, my feelings for you will always remain true” Keith confessed in a low raspy voice.

“No, you are lying” Lance hopelessly protested, cuddling himself further into Keith’s arms. “Never, I truly love you. I adore you just as much as you love me” Keith pushed on trying to console Lance. He knew that he’d have to use Hunk’s name into play right after his slip up. “No way! I-I don’t- I don’t l-l-love you…of all the people” Lance whispered the last part flushing furiously. He was shaken up by the fact that Keith was aware of his feelings. Did he let a little slip-up? Or was he obvious about it by trying to start an argument or a fight every single time he saw Keith? “Lance, it was Hunk who told me. Don’t blame anything that happened and I do accept your feelings” Keith told him parting from him a little so that he could look into his eyes. “Are you sure? I’m just pathetic and usele-“ Lance tried to speak but Keith light stare made his words fade out.

“Do you love me?” Keith asked directly. Any more words would have led to another ranting session, “Am I allowed to love someone of your caliber?” Lance asked gulping. “You don’t need permission. All you need to do is love me” Keith confirmed Lance’s queries. “I re-really like you, Keith” Lance admitted looking away from Keith. The black paladin smiled and pulled Lance in for another kiss. His feelings had finally crossed the love of his life’s mind. To add icing to cake, his feelings were reciprocated as well. They kissed and locked their lips passionately with each other. This time Lance’s arms were tightly wrapped around Keith’s neck. Keith’s arms traced down Lance’s back and shoulders. Keith slightly parted their lips as he felt a tingling sensation from Lance's lips. A sudden vanilla colored light had started to envelop Lance around. He gripped Keith’s hand out of fear of something happening to him. “Kei-Keith” the red paladin stuttered as the light grew and grew until nothing could be seen but that light. Lance started screaming as he did not know what was happening

Keith closed his eyes as the light was pushing him away but he kept his grip on Lance’s hands. “Don’t worry! I’m here!” he screamed. He wanted to save Lance but he couldn’t find stable ground to help Lance. The light slowly started to diminish and eventually, it vanished. Lance’s screams died down and Keith was finally able to open his eyes. His hands were still in Lance’s hands but they felt different. They felt a little bigger than before like they were when…he was a man. Keith immediately looked up and saw the same old, male, dorky, man smiling in front of him. His long brown locks were short and cute again. Lance no longer was short nor he have breasts anymore. He was really glad to be back. “I’m back Keith, thank you!” Lance, the 18-year-old boy also the paladin of the red lion jumped into Keith's arms and hugged him tightly. “Wait, what, how did this happen? But-But I’m so glad you’re back” Keith was confused though he was still happy to have his sharpshooter back. He also embraced him back tightly as they both laid on the ground smiling as they were hopelessly in love!

“Keith, do you still love me? Even though I’m a guy now” the red paladin asked, looking at Keith a little doubtfully as he thought his feelings may change now. “No, Lance, I still love you, you little dork” Keith chuckled and stood up. He held a hand out for Lance to grab onto. “Let’s go back,” he told him. As Lance got up, they both began to walk towards the castle.

That was when Lance’s legs gave up. He might have changed back to his actual self but his injuries were still there. He was about to fall when Keith caught him in his arms. “You okay?” he asked. “I’m fine- just a litt-woah” Keith lifted Lance up in his arms like a princess. “I’ll take you back,” he told him while grinning. Lance blushed but he did not want Keith to remain to so smooth so he kissed Keith loving on his lips. “Take me away samurai!”
