It's been around 2 weeks since Lance has turned into a brat. He has taken over everyone and their free time. Keith hasn't had a decent sleep in what he has to say only like 5 days but that was because they keep on trying to get Lance to sleep with other members of the team, not just Keith.
Allura has been avoiding Keith all together, like he is some disease or something and she gets really broody whenever Lance won't go to her, in fact, they were having a heated discussion about that just now.
"He just doesn't like it okay Allura? Trust me if he would go to you i would hand him over for nap time in no time, but he just wont." Keith tried explaining this to Allura while Lance was babbling in his arms, his hands in Keith's hair. "I just don't see why Lance doesn't want me, I'm a perfect mother figure and Lance himself would drool over the thought of being in m arms for at least a second!" Allura stated as if she just figured out the most important thing in the world, about to start talking again when Lance cut her off.
"Nap time Keef? In Keef bed?" Lance said just loud enough for both of them to have to stop talking to actually listen. Keith looked down to the toddler in his arms. "Okay baby just a sec.." Keith looked back up to Allura. "I'm gonna have to catch up later, Lance can do his drooling over you when he gets back if you really think that's what he would actually do, cos frankly that's a load of bullshit. Lance deserves better then that..." Keith started walking away, not willing to admit how much he said out of jealousy.
Keith knows Lance would probably be hopping around in circles like a love sick puppy if Allura actually asked for a hug, even a hand shake. And Keith was just plain old Keith. Who he bickers with and throws insult after insult at. Still he can't help but want the Lance that's over-confident and too cocky to stalk through the doorways with his toothy grin and amazing blue eyes, glinting with mischief.
Keith walked through his door, kicked off his boots and took off his shirt. He lay on his back, Lance tucked into his side. He lay awake for a long long while, thinking of all the things he would say to Lance when he was back, when he was him again. Little Lance whined at his side and climbed onto his chest, snuggling into his bare skin. "What's the matter baby?" Keith runs his hands through Lances hair, feeling Lance frown against his skin. "Keef sad?" Lance had his hands tangled in Keith's hair already, it was kind of like what he did every single time Keith had him anywhere on his body, shoulders, cradling him, hanging onto his arm, laying down you name it and Lances hands are there.
"I'm okay baby, go to sleep yeah?" Keith had to hold in his cracked voice, he felt Lance could feel his emotions. Lance lifted his face up to look Keith in the eyes, but Keith broke contact, too afraid he would read him like a book, he turned his face to the left, suddenly the wall became interesting as hell and, was it white or grey?
A soft press of lips against his cheek made him turn. He turned back to Lance, who was grinning and had his hands in Keith's fringe. Lance lowered himself again and slowly but surely, his breathing slowed down and he fell asleep peacefully.
"I miss you blue....." Keith let his eye fall shut and his mind cut off, though not completely as pictures and memories of Lance filtered the back of mind, stuck there as if they were there for life, which Keith wouldn't be surprised if it happened.
