The story how Birdflash met Voltron (Klance and obviously birdflash rewrite)

Chapter 26

It had been twenty minutes later when the door got opened and footsteps rushed inside. He walked up and dragging Keith away without a word outside.

"So, what happened?" Keith asked concerned and he narrowed his eyes and smacking the male behind his back.

"He almost killed himself. You really didn't expect that Lance was alright, did you?" He glared daggers at Keith. The male stared and paled a few shades. There was a silence for a moment, and he heard him whisper 'oh god.'

"I knew something was off, but I didn't..." Keith trailed off and he took a deep breath and shaking his head.

"Then why didn't you stay and talk with him? He almost died wouldn't it for me, you dimwit." His voice was sharp and glaring at the male in front of him.

"I am not the best with these kinds of talk, and you know this." Keith pointed out and narrowed his eyes.

"So you thought not tell anyone about how Lance was off?" He asked once again and the male swallowed, and his anger vanished and pulling the male away.

"I-I really thought he was alright, I- Oh god he almost..." Now he had another person who broke down, yet for him it hadn't managed to think about this until now. But he wasn't going to cry because right now he needed to stay calm for the sake for the two.

It took a moment for the other to calm down and then he pulled away. There was nothing said as both entered the apartment once again. Lance was by now sitting up and eyes widening when seeing Keith.

"From now on we will meet up at least once a week and I will call Dinah to make a session with you. Because I know how it is and you need professional help." He said softly with arms being folded together and Lance avoided his gaze as he softly agreed. Keith slowly walked up and pulling the male into a tight hug and he leaned on the wall not saying anything.

"Sorry." He heard Keith after a while apologize and Lance looked perplexed and confusion was all that was seen. It was apparent that he had no idea why the other was apologizing.

"I should have known that you weren't alright. Should have realized and yes I know how it is." Keith said with care and adoration, showing once more to him how much the male cared for the other. It was making him slightly smile.

"It wasn't your fault. I-Well I thought I would be just a burden when telling you this and well..." Lance trailed off and he let out a sigh knowing too well how it is.

"Never are you a burden but I know how you can be. I know too well how it is. Thinking that you never are enough. Faulting yourself with the death of Allura and thinking that I could have done better. But you need to understand that we did everything we could and that she wouldn't want you to wallow in guilt." He said softly as pushing himself away from the wall and walking up. He sat on the other side and ruffling the male's hair in affection.

"Oh..." Lance sounded surprised and he knew why. Never had he openly said this and the only one who knew where his family and his boyfriend.

"That is why I took sessions with Dinah. Without her I would have been in the same self-destructive path." He said softly and knowing too well how it was and he was still feeling guilty about thinking like this. "Getting help is not a weakness and trust me it took me a while to realize this." It was said with a hollow chuckle and the two knew that he still was on this path.

"Did it get better?" Lance asked and he wasn't sure that to answer. Because it might get better but even now, he had sometimes these thoughts.

"You live with it and sometimes yes but sometimes not. It sometimes feels like you get swallowed whole in emotions, but I am not alone and learned to rely on my boyfriend and family." He said softly and Lance was silent for a moment.

"I know how it is with suicidal thoughts and I got help. I had to learn to live with depression. So, I got you." Keith said with a slight pink hue, indicating for him that the other was embarrassed about this.

"Okay, I uh will try." Lance said and he let out a sigh. Both Keith and he had eye contact for a moment and a promise was made to make sure to be there as much as possible for Lance.

"You won't be alone for a while. I am thinking about living back with my family and you will join me, or you go with Keith. Because I know that you won't be able to take care of you alone. Trust me tried that and failed as well." He was back at being a mother hen and Keith looked at him with a thankful yet amused look.

"I am not going to let you alone and we will get through this together." Keith said as taking the others hand and giving a kiss on Lance's hand. The male flushed slightly but a slight smile was on his lips.

"So does this count as bonding?" Lance joked slightly and he looked confused at this sudden change of words. "Because I remember." It was said with a grin and Keith's left eye twitched slightly.

"Oh my god you remember! I thought you didn't?" Keith said with exasperation and Lance grinned more now.

"Well I may have lied. Had been stressed out so yeah." It was said nervously, and Keith puffed his cheeks out. Lance kissed the male on his cheeks and the expression soften. It was probably their thing or something, but it was quite funny.

"I came as fast as possible. Where is the villain?" Wally dashed into the room and almost tripping in the process. All three had eye contact for a moment, until they burst into a giggle fit. Which made the fourth person look confused. But soon even he laughed.

He was sure that everything would turn out alright. Because he wasn't alone, and they would get through this. This was what he was believing in.
