Hidden Wings

V

Sorry for such a long wait, my editor and I had finals, and then I've been busy with vacations all summer until now. I hope you enjoy!//

Lance hadn’t left Keith’s side since they had gotten back. Lance followed him to bed, to eat, bathe, anything. And Keith didn’t mind one bit. It felt nice to know he was important and loved by someone. The problem was that Keith had no time to himself. Not that he hadn’t enjoyed every heavenly second with the prince, it was just that he no longer had any privacy. Lance had now seen every square inch of him, and he didn’t know how he felt about it. No one had ever seen his entire body, not even when on earth.

Keith watched as the bubbles in the tub floated around the room - mostly Lance’s fault. Lance loved bubbles. So instead of listening to Keith and putting in roughly a teaspoon, he put in the entire bottle and then dropped the bottle in. They still hadn’t been able to find the bottle.

“Really, Lance? Couldn’t hold back?” Keith teased, laying on the tan male’s chest.

“What? Bubbles are pretty. Plus, the ones Adam game me are purple. Purple bubbles!” he exclaimed.

Keith only giggled and closed his eyes, growing more comfortable being in Lance’s arms.

“So… are you going to go back to the palace? The king and queen know your here now, and they been looking nonstop. Shiro seems the most focused on getting you back,” Keith asked, looking around the house. It wasn't the same house they had been in since Keith had come back.

“I-I can't trust them. Something is wrong, and I’m not sure what yet, but I can't. Something’s wrong, Keith.”

Keith looked at lance with a questioning look. “What do you mean?”

“Shiro and the king. After they banished you to the arctic, the king took Shiro to the back of the castle. I wanted to ask Shiro why he didn’t stand up for you; I mean, he is your brother. But while they were back there, the king congratulated Shiro for his hard work about getting rid of ‘the warrior’. And then I went and got Adam, so I didn't hear the rest. But something is up, and I don't trust them.”

Keith wrapped his arms around the other male. “Lance, I’m sure you just didn’t understand what was going on. I mean, Shiro is my brother. Th-there has to be an explanation. There's no need to worry, Lance.”

“Congratulations, Haggar. We’ve gotten rid of the angel’s biggest threats to our world,” the king said, his body slowly deforming from a glorious king to the lord of the underworld.

Haggar, being in the cover of the once great warrior, got down on her knee and bowed. “We shall win, my love. I will not allow the angels to triumph.”

Shiro groaned as he looked around. Emptiness. There was nothing around him but a beautiful forest. He began to wondering around, only to be stopped by a barrier.

“What the hell? Where am I?” Shiro questioned to himself as he hit the wall.

“Well well, what do we have here? The famous champion?” a voice came from the room. Shiro around, only to see the man who had once taken his body apart, removing his arm.

“You!” Shiro lunged at the man, only to go straight through him. Like he was a spirit. The man began to laugh uncontrollably.

“You fool! Did you really think I would have the patience and audacity to be here? I have much more important business to attend; I will not be bothered to entertain some prisoner. Enjoy your stay, champion, because without your wings, there is no escape!”
