A New Start - Klance

The McClains'

Again, I don't own anything here.

Grab your popcorn, and have fun!

It took about five minutes to get where Lance lived, and as he stopped, he hear children laughing. A tall girl opened the door, and smiled as she saw Keith. It was Veronica.

"Welcome to our home." She said gesturing to all that surrounded him. "Looking for Lance?" She said smirking at Keith.

She opened the door and let Keith in. "Yeah, I need him to go back to my house." He said looking at the photos that lined the hall. Some were when Lance was a kid, playing in the fields. Others where when he came back from space. There was even one where it looked like Lances' high school graduation.

"Well he's out back." She said, leading him through the house.

The laughter was getting louder as they got closer to the back of the house. Keith stopped at what looked like a family tree. At the very top was two young looking people. Looking at the birth date, Keith came with the conclusion, they were his grandparents. He followed it down, seeing Lance's mother and father. Not much further down, where there are two kids. The two were Veronica and Lance, and they were followed by two or three children after.

"Keith come on." Veronica said pulling his arm.

"Ok, ok." Keith said taring his eyes away from the photos.

"Lance is going to be excited to see you. You're the only thing he talks about." She said leading him through the back door.

Keith saw a bunch of kids out in the field with a taller man. Veronica yield something in cuban at them, mentioning Keiths' name, and the man looked up. It was Lance. Holly shit Keith was not ready for this. He saw Lance smile and nod. He said something to the kids that surrounded his legs, and they all looked at Keith. Now the pressure was on him, Keith thought as a whole group of kids ran towards him.

"Hawo Keef." One boy said. He had the same tan skin, brown hair, and blue eyes as Lance. All the kids were very similar to Lance. " 'Ants said to bring you fowers for your 'air." The boy held up a bunch of flowers, smiling. All the kids followed, holding up flowers.

Keith took the flowers, feeling a blush creep up to his cheeks. "Thank you, can I talk to Lance alone?" Keith said, feeling uneasy around the kids.

They all nodded, and hurried to go play back in to field. Keith looked up and saw Lance walking toward him. They were both smiling, for they hadn't seen each other in weeks.

"Keith Kogane, how are you?" Lance said holding his arms out for a hug.

Keith took it, saying, "Great. How are you?"

Pulling out of the embrace, Lance said, "Amazing. The kids said you needed to talk." Worry washed over Lances' happy face. "Did something happen?"

"No, I just need your help." Keith said reassuring the tall boy. "Shiro wont let me go back to my home by myself. Pidge and Hunk forced me with you."

"Thank god, but why can't you go back yourself?" Lance said, leading them back inside.

"Because it's a wreck after the battle."

"Oh, yeah I can help." Lance smiled. "Didn't we have an agreement to move in with each other?"

"Yeah, but if you don't want to, I'm fine with that." Keith never knew he was going to be this nervous talking to Lance.

Lance shook his head, "No I'd love to live with you. Are we going to your 'house' now?"

"If you can, or else I'd have to go home and listen to Shiro complain, and Adam moaning. So please help me." Keith said, earning a chuckle out of Lance.

"As long as you have a place, I'd love to get some sleep." Lance said looking back at the kids in the field. "I guess I'm still on Space time, and they wake me up at five in the morning."

Keith laughed and smiled, "I don't have an apartment yet, but I have been looking." They started to walk back into the house. Keith looked at Lance, "Thank you."

"For what?" He asked.

"For the flowers, and for helping me." Keith said, trying to hide the blush that was now on his cheeks.

"Well," Lance grabbed a flower, putting it behind Keiths' ear, "You look good with flowers. And I've been helping around here for two weeks. I think a change of scenery would be nice. I'll be right back."

Lance left off for a room to his left, leaving Keith in the hallway. A loud bang sounded from the kitchen, followed by some cursing. Keith usually would be fine with this, but since he was in a new environment, it startled his PTSD.

Keith was taken back to when they were in space, when he was starting the training bot. The bot got out of control, and started attacking him. He ran through the halls of the Castle of Lions, trying to get away from the bot. Keiths' breathing sped up as he fell to the floor. He ran past the air-lock chamber, hearing Lances' voice. He couldn't see through his own eyes, but through the vision. But this vision was a bit different. This time he couldn't open the air-lock, and was still fighting the bot. The countdown started and the bot fell to the ground. Keith pushed and pushed the button to get Lance out, but it never worked. 5 . . . 4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . 0. Keith watched Lance float out into space, his whole body freezing over. A look of horror on Lances' face. Keith didn't save him. Lance was dead. Out in space. Keith killed him.

"Keith! Keith!" Keith heard a distance yelling his name. "Damn it Keith, snap out of it." The voice was now soft, and more recognisable.

Keith regained his sight, with a massive headache. Lance and Veronica were kneeling in front of him, Veronica holding a glass of water. Keiths' body was shaking, and he felt tears on his cheeks. His breathing was fast, and his headache was dying down.

"Keith, can you hear me?" Lance was holding Keiths' shaky hand. "Talk to me Keith."

"L-Lance." Keith was pulled into an embrace from Lance. It was calming. "I saw you die. I thought I killed you." Keith was crying into Lances' chest.

"Keith, I'm right here. I'm not dead, you didn't kill me. Shh." Lance hugged him tighter.

They sat there for five minutes. Veronica had left the glass of water, and left them to sit there. Keiths' breathing had slowed down, and he had stopped shaking. Lance didn't let go for another minute, and when he did, he gave a warm smile.

"Are you ok Keith?" Lance was rubbing Keiths' shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm sorry." Keith felt bad for giving Lance a fright.

"Keith, you had a panic attack. You shouldn't be the one apologizing. Tell me what happened."

"Can we go somewhere private."

Lance nodded and helped Keith up. Lance lead Keith into what looked like Lances' room. "Tell me what happened."

Lance took him to the bed and sat him down. He sat down next to him and held his hand. That was Keiths' cue to start talking. Keith told Lance everything from beginning to end. Lance didn't say a word, he just listened. When Keith finished, Lance squeezed Keiths' hand.

"Look at me, that didn't happen."

Keith looked up at Lances' warm eyes, "I know, it just felt so real. It looked so real."

They sat there, both of them waiting for the other to say they could leave. Keith made this decision three minutes later, asking if they could go look at what's left of his home.
