Returning Home

They got on the train after Allura, Shiro, Acxa, and Romelle all yelled at them for being stupid. They were on the train when Allura came in. "Sorry for yelling at you earlier, but are you love each other?" She asks.

"That's a dumb question," Lance says and gestures to their intertwined hands. "What he means is yes," Keith clarifies. 

"Hmm, well then, I'll take credit for that," she snickers. Lance giggles and Keith shakes his head. "What will you do when you get home?" Allura asks. They shrug.


When they arrive, they stand in front of everyone in District 12. Lance's family and Pidge's family screaming in excitement. They wave and smile as they hold hands.

Afterward, they go to see their families. "Keith!" Pidge shouts as she runs to him. "Hey, Pidge!" He shouts back. She hugs him as she cries. "You did it," she mumbles. Mr. and Mrs. Holt come in not long after. 

"Congratulations, Keith," Mrs. Holt says. "I'm giving most of the money to you, I don't need it," Keith says as she releases him from the hug.

"Lance!" Princie shouts as he runs to him. "Princie!" Lance kneels to hug him. He then hugs his parents. "We missed you," Mrs. McClains says. "When can we meet your boyfriend?" Rachel, Lance's older sister questions. 

"Keith is reuniting with the Holt's, where's Hunk?" Lance asks. "Right here!" Hunk exclaims coming over to them. He pulls Lance into a suffocating hug. "Let's go see Keith," Hunk says.

They all go to the Holt's to see Keith. All ten of them. Lance knocks on the door and Pidge opens it. "Keith!" She yells, "Lance and his family are here!" Keith is heard running down the stairs. "come right in," She says. "Hey, Lance!" Mr. Holt says as he comes from the kitchen with Mrs. Holt.

They extend their hands to shake Mr. and Mrs. McClain's hands but they go in for a hug. Then Mrs. goes over to Keith and hugs him. "Thank you for taking care of my boy," She says. "It was mostly him that took care of me," Keith replies. 

She releases him and he hugs Lance. "Do what do we owe the pleasure?" Mr. Holt asks. "We wanted to meet Keith and you all," Mrs. McClain replies. 


They all talked over dinner. Pidge talked with two of Lance's siblings, Veronica and Cameron, Mr. and Mrs. McClain and Lance's Abuela are talking with Mr. and Mrs. Holt, Keith and Lance are talking with Rachel while Mia and Princie are running around and playing. Lance is shocked by how good Keith is with kids. 

Afterward, Lance's family left and went home, but Lance stayed since Keith has been getting nightmares since the games. He sits on the floor, waiting for Keith to get dressed. When he returns, he sits on his bed.

"Ready?" Lance asks. "No," Keith responds. "Why? What's wrong?" He questions. "You aren't with me," Keith says. Lance blushes before standing up and sitting beside Keith.

"Better?" He asks. "Better," Keith smiles. They lie down and gaze into each other's eyes. Lance has striking admiral blue shade near his iris, with cobalt near the edges. Keith's eyes are usually grey, but become violet-purple in certain lighting.

Lance presses his forehead to Keith's and closed his eyes. "I love you," he whispers. "I love you too," Keith replies. The two drift off into a deep sleep together, with no nightmares.
