~flashback~

"Keith! Dude-what the hell are you doing?!"

"Saving your God damn life, Lance!"

"Keith! Stop, you're going to get kil-"

The line went silent, Lance wasn't speaking. Red was shot by the Galra.

Fuck.

"LANCE!"

********

Keith couldn't sleep, he was over working himself with missions, eyes bloodshot, muscles aching. He thought it was good for him, distracting himself from Lance.

Kolivan and Krolia were starting to notice, having confronted him more than once, but their statements were ignored.

Of course.

Krolia knew, her son was stubborn.

Not arrogant, but stubborn. When his mind was set on something, he'd keep working towards that goal.

Even if that goal was forgetting about someone important to him.

********

One thing that Hunk knew about his best friend, was that he didn't let things go easily.

Lance was dramatic, yes, he didn't want to let things go, even if they were stupid. The boy was sensitive, and arrogant, so even the smallest things would take a toll on him.

Imagine how it would feel with something as big as this.

Back at the Garrison, he wouldn't want to admit it, but not only did Lance look up to Shiro, he looked up to Keith.

It was stupid, he thought, to look up to someone his age. Especially if he was always one-uping him.

The one sided rivalry was just something that he used to cope with the fact that, well, Keith was the person he wanted to be.

Strong, smart, rebellious, loved by the ladies.

He'd always looked up to him, but he himself took it the wrong way.

Sudden being cooped up in space with him, having to save the universe, was.. hard to get used to.

But after a while Lance's feelings grew stronger, and he ignored it, masking it with flirting, and keeping that so called "rivalry" up.

The others knew it was obvious.

Lance's crush on Keith was humongous, and he had a hard time hiding it.

Luckily, for him, Keith was oblivious as fuck.

And so was he.

Meaning, that when he heard that Keith had said he loved him, his reaction was expected.

Red face, eyes wide, jaw dropped.

After that day Lance wasn't as happy or as peppy anymore.

He just hid it, making stupid jokes, but it was obvious. He was hurt.

It was so.. confusing. Keith's logic was terrible. This is how his mind worked.

1. Save Lance and almost die.

2. Say 'I love you' to Lance, well kinda.

3. And finally, leave. Again.

And it was mind breaking.

Lance couldn't figure it out.

He just couldn't.

"Lance!"

The Cuban snapped out of his thoughts with a yelp, looking up towards Hunk, "Eh?"

"You've been playing with your food, you haven't eaten, come on."

"Sorry buddy, just got distracted."

Everyone went silent for a while, they knew what was on Lance's mind.

Pidge sighed, "Lance, we all know you're thinking about Keith, just admit it."

Lance laughed sarcastically, shoving a spoonful of goo in his mouth, "Hah, no, Pidge, you're so funny."

"I'm definitely not thinking about Keith, you know, the god damn asshole who says 'I love you' after almost dying and then leaves,"

"No, definitely not."

"Lance-"

"I don't want to talk about it, please. Thank you."

The rest sighed, and stayed silent, they knew Lance was hurt, but they hoped it was for the better.

After all, not all soulmates are meant to last.
