You're still the one

Part 7

Keith's P.O.V.
}~~~~~~~~~~~~~¥~~~~~~~~~~~~~{
I start helping out around the base, hopefully, I'll be leaving soon. I can't seem to get Lance out of my head, and I keep asking myself if I should actually say goodbye to Lance or not. Damnit, why did I have to stay at his place?
"Hey, Keith, you alright." Shiro brought me out of my thoughts. "You seem a bit out of it." Shiro said smiling. Why was he smiling?
"I'm fine." I tell him.
"You sure?" He asks, his smile dropping.
"Yeah." I said in a not so convincing tone.
"Did Lance ever talk to you?" He asks.
"No, I thought he was with you, weren't you talking with him?" I ask.
"I was, but I sent him over to talk to you." He tells me.
"W-why?" I ask a bit confused.
"That's for him to tell you." He says. Why? "So you haven't seen him since I dragged away from you guys?"
"No, I haven't." I'm starting to get worried. Did something happen? Do we have an intruder? WAS LANCE KIDNAPED?!
"Hey," Shiro puts his hand on my shoulder. "wherever he is, I'm sure he's fine." He reassured me. "Check his house, maybe he's there."
"But we have to get everything ready, check up on diagnostics, run some tests-"
"Don't worry about it." Shiro Interrupts me. "We're in no rush to leave unless we get a distress signal, don't overwork yourself."
"But-"
"Keith, are you trying to avoid Lance?" Shiro asked.
"W-what, n-no, I'm just-" I tried to come up with an excuse, even if I had one but it was no use, Shiro could see right through.
"Tell me what's wrong." He sits me down on the chair near the desk I was standing next to.
"I... I thought that I might have moved on from Lance, but spending time with him... especially with his niece and nephew... and sharing a bed with him-" "Wait, you shared beds?" He asked smirking.
"I-it want like that!" I shouted, feeling all heat rush to my face just by remembering last night. "He offered because there was nowhere else for me to sleep."
"Ok." He says, signaling for me to continue.
"I realized I still have feelings for him, and I'm going to be away all the time helping the galaxy, there's not going be time for us, even if 'us' was possible, he's straight." I explain to Shiro.
"Keith, even if it might not be possible he's still your friend, and friends don't avoid each other, and just because you're going to be away most of the time doesn't mean you can't still be friends." He tells me. "Are you going to do the same thing with Hunk and Pidge?"
"No, it's different, Pidge is going to be here helping us through the coms and Hunk... I-it's just different with Lance, it's going to hurt a lot worse when I leave."
"And you think it was easy for me to leave and be away from Adam?"
"N-NO! Of course not it's just... I'm not... strong enough." Shiro puts his hand on my shoulder again, I look up at him. "Suffer through it to become strong." He pats my shoulder and makes me stand. "Now go find your boyfriend."
"Shiro!" He chuckles as he walks away leavening me blushing in embarrassment.
Lance's P.O.V.
}~~~~~~~~~~~~~¥~~~~~~~~~~~~~{
I'm walking to the coffee shop after realizing I hadn't had any this morning, with Cosmo walking beside me.
As I approach the coffee shop, I spot a bike, a hoverbike, Keith's hoverbike, oh crap he's standing next to his bike. I wanted to confront him but not now!
He seemed to just recently arrived because he still had his helmet on. He removed his helmet and his hair flipped as he did it, and so did my heart. To think I called his mullet stupid. Wait, what am I saying? His mullet is still stupid and I'm still upset with him.
Cosmo barked to get his attention which also got my attention, I almost forgot what I was thinking about. "Hey, Lance." Cosmo runs up to Keith and stands on his hind legs to lick Keith's face, his dumb... cute face.
After getting Cosmo to calm down he walks over to me. "Hey, Lance." We kinda just stared at each other for a while. What was I going to talk to him about?
Keith's P.O.V.
}~~~~~~~~~~~~~¥~~~~~~~~~~~~~{
What was I going to talk to him about?
Oh right. Before I said anything snapped at me. "So you wanna spend time with me now?!"
"W-what?" What is he talking about?... Oh no.
"Lance-" "Did I do something wrong? Did you just pretended to be my friend just for Voltron? Did you ever think of me as a friend?" "Lance-"
"Tell me why?!" I couldn't, not without telling him I have feelings for him. I look at him in the eyes, tears filled them. Is he really that hurt?
"I'm sorry, Lance, I have no excuse except that I was being a.. moody.. emo.. prick, I'm a horrible friend and I'm sorry." I hold back my tears.
Lance wipes his tears away and he hugs me.
"I hate you, mullet." He says. I chuckle and hug him back. "I hate you too, worm-hole for brains." He pulls away laughing.
"'Worm-hole for brains', That's the best you got?" He asks still laughing.
"Well, you're not exactly the smartest of the teams, that's Pidge." I say.
"Well, I'm not the dumbest!" He shouts.
"Then who is?" I ask smirking.
"You, obviously." He says turning the other way with his arms folded.
"Wait, what was I doing again?" He mumbles, but I understand it perfectly.
"My point has been made." I say smirking at him.
"I remember!" He snaps at me.
"Then tell me." I tease.
"I was... going to get.. coffee." He says pointing at the coffee shop. Oh my god, he's so cute.
"Um... d-did you... um..." He seems to be... is he blushing? He starts to shift where he's standing, he picks at his fingers.
"Is there a reason why you keep standing there fidgeting?" I ask, making fun of him a bit.
"I, well- uh, I wanted to ask... well, I was trying to ask..."
"What is it Lance?" I fold my arms in front of my chest.
"I wanted to ask if you wanted to have coffee with me!" I start to feel heat rush towards my face. He wants to have coffee with me?.. No no no, he doesn't mean anything by it... then why is he blushing?
"I uh... s-sure." "You don't have to if you don't- wait what?"
"I said 'sure'."
