Keith had left Voltron to join the Blade of Marmora because he desperately wanted to hide his feelings for Lance. He didn't want the others to know he liked boys. It would be just another thing that set him apart from his friends, like being half Galra. But when Allura decides to step back from Voltron to spread her father's message across the galaxy and pilot the Castle of Lions, and Lance returns to the Blue Lion, Keith will need to return to Voltron to pilot the Red Lion. But will Keith be able to control his feelings for a boy he knows will never love him? Or will his love for Lance finally consume him? -yes, there will be smut :)

~WARNING~ Mentions of injuries, violence, and possibly gory details ~ In the midst of battle, Blue ejects Lance as the Lion takes a heavy blow. Lance is stranded on the Earth-like planet since Blue fell into a deep abyss. The paladins realize this is a battle that won't be won and decide to leave. But as they realize the blue lion is temporarily lost, they decide to leave Keith and Red to stay with Lance and look for Blue. Maybe the rivals can learn to be friends... Or perhaps more (Sorry for the terrible description and its cheesiness. This takes place sometime in season two after they find out Keith is Galra, but kinda goes off the plot at some point. Just consider it as more of an AU than by the plot.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The beautiful cover art is from chartron.tumblr.com
