The entire group aboard the Altean Airship Castle was waiting impatiently for the return of the 2 paladins. Honestly, it had been far too long since Keith had left; long enough to make the other paladins worry and start gearing up. They thought the pair might’ve been attacked or kidnapped. Soon they were all set to head out and look for the red and black paladins when two silhouettes appeared before them from the dark.   

“Is that them?” Pidge exclaimed, pulling her bayard into its active mode in case it was not them. Fortunately, Keith and Lance had made it back to castle in one piece; putting aside the fact that Lance looked as if he was thrown in a blender. “I think it is” Shiro spoke and squinted his eyes to see. A bright smile spread across Allura’s face as she saw them returning. “Hold the weapons down, it’s us” Keith announced as he stood before them cradling Lance who was tattered up but still conscious. “H-Hey” he groaned as speaking was still picking at his injuries. Hunk looked at the par suggestively; he wriggled his brows in Keith’s direction alerting him that it was time to put Lance down. As much as he loved having him in his arms, the paladins should not get suspicious of his feelings for the red paladin.

As Lance stood on the ground, his weight still supported by Lance, Allura tackled him with a breathtaking a hug. “Oh my goodness, Lance, I never I thought I’d see you again like this” She spoke gladly as she buried herself into his injured shoulders. “Hey princess, thank you for the warm welcome” Lance hugged her back, wincing a little. Their little interchange was not well liked however by one person; Keith. A raging amount of jealousy began seething from his eyes and all he wanted to do was rip the pair apart as Lance was his boyfriend now. Thankfully, Hunk noticed and a chill went down his spine seeing Keith look so fierce about something so trivial. He skipped over quickly to Pidge and Shiro side and whispered something to them.

The two spectators nodded and rushed to also hug Lance for his return. “Oh my, is this a hugging party? Well, count me in too!” Coran felt left out and also jumped in. Pidge kept her hug loose and let go of Lance in the next moment, pulling Allura away as well. “Umm, h-he’s hurt. Coran, please take him to a pod” Hunk asked Coran. “Oh, I’m so sorry Lance” Allura apologized as a shade of pink found their way to settle on her cheeks. “No problemo” Lance gave her a thumbs-up and left with Coran to go for the pod.

They were soon followed by the rest except Keith and Hunk. “Wow man, were you jealous or what? You looked like you were going chew Allura alive” Hunk tapped his shoulder while chuckling. That was when Keith understood his mistake and because slightly mortified. “I-I’m so sorry. I did not mean to do that” Keith apologized looking a bit glum “It’s just that…after chasing him for so long, I finally got him for myself. I don’t want to share him with anyone else”

“Chill, no one will be taking your man from you” Hunk giggled while consoling him. “H-he’s my man?” Keith wondered. “Obviously, you moron. He’ll be resting right now but when he wakes up, talk to him and make the matter final” Hunk sighed and went inside the castle signaling Keith to come after him.

Lance was resting in the pod and his time limit was of 8 hours. He was going to wake up the next morning when they would have taken to continue their work as the defenders of the universe. As he slept peacefully in his pod, Keith stayed by his side for the entire time, once again. He wanted to be the first one Lance see once he wakes up.  Eventually, he fell asleep sitting beside the pod.

“Keith, buddy, wake up. It’s time for Lance to get out. I’ll be leaving now; you bring Lance to breakfast” Hunk woke Keith up in the morning. He was a bit dazed but soon regained his consciousness. The timer ran out and the pod automatically opened. Lance slipped out and fell into Keith’s arms yet again. “Man, I could get used to you always catching me when I fall” Lance mumbled and pulled away to stand up straight. “Lance, how do you feel?” Keith asked as his eyes sparkled with joy to see his one true standing right before him, looking better than ever.

“I’ve seen better days but I’m fine I guess,” Lance told Keith. “You go change so we can have breakfast,” Keith told him and was about to leave when Lance tugged at his jacket’s sleeve. Then the red paladin felt embarrassed about actions. “W-why don’t you come with me-for just a sec- what if I fall” Lance panicked. The black paladins chuckled at his crush’s actions and took his hand in his own. “Fine, fine. I’ll come with you” Keith told him and they both walked to Lance’s room.

In Lance’s room, he let go of Keith’s grip and hustled to the bathroom to change. He was a bit shy about being with Keith as a couple but hey, all shots had already been fired. He was madly in love with that man and finally, they had gotten together. He was not entirely in his senses when he told him that he loved him so now he was going to do it. He washed himself and came outside in his favorite jeans, t-shirt, and the iconic green jacket.

Keith was sitting on the bed when Lance dressed up. When Lance came out, Keith stood up and smiled at him. “Let’s go,” Keith told him

“Keith, wait!” Lance stopped him.

“What’s up?” He looked at him.

“Keith, about what we d-d-discussed when I changed back to my original form” the poor red paladin was fiddling with his words. “I-I-I lo-are you sure about me…I’m really not the-“ Lance darted his eyes around avoiding Keith’s piercing gaze. “Lance! Don’t say that about yourself.” Keith ordered him. “But, I’m really not perfect” Lance reasoned. “I don’t need you to be perfect. You are more than enough for me. I really do love you, Lance!” Keith told him while cupping his soft, tanned cheeks in his hands. “You love me?” Lance looked at him uncertainly.

He was not sure how some of Keith’s caliber would an ordinary guy like Lance. His heart felt heavy and he was fidgeting with his hands. As Keith touched him, he did not know if could hold him back or not. Though he asked Keith for confirmation, all he wanted was for him to say yes. Allura had been nothing more than a distraction for him in the past time. His sight had always been set on this beautiful man with his lilac eyes and raven hair. He gulped since Keith did not answer.

“I love you, it’s you and only. Forever my heart has been set on you, Sharpshooter”  Keith told him after a little pause. His eyes were staring into Lance’s ocean blue ones filled with desire and love. Finally, Lance could take in a breath. His arms naturally found their way around Keith’s neck and he pulled him in for a kiss. Their lips touched and Keith swore he could see fireworks around them. Lips locked as they struggled for dominance in each others mouth. This was the most passionate kiss Lance had ever had.

Keith tied his arms around Lance's waist pulling him closer and letting their faces part so they could breathe. “Keith, I also l-love you very m-much” Lance stuttered as he was a bit shy. They stared at each other for the next couple of minutes when they realized they had to go for breakfast. “My love, let’s go for breakfast” Keith broke them out of their daze. Their bodies moved apart but since Keith wanted to stay connected with Lance, he grabbed Lance’s hand. “Oh, what about the other-“ he started but was shushed out by Keith.

Lance was finally Keith’s lover; the man he always wanted to make his. They began walking towards the dining room, hand in hand, with their love blooming around them. This was just the beginning for an amazing adventure awaiting them in their life. Nothing could ever let them part ways now.
