I Imagine You Next To Me

A Klance Fan-fiction; post canon season 8 fix it fic

"It's okay.
He was fine with pretending.
Imaginary Keith was right here next to him and he knew he'd protect him and he felt less lonely in the middle of the desert that night."

Or//

After attending Allura's memorial for more than five years, Lance drops off the face of the planet for two. He refuses any calls and visits from his old teammates as he drowns himself with working at his family's farm practically making himself ill. One day, Keith drops by and they happen to cross paths in his kitchen. This shook Lance to his very core as he aimed to forget Keith's face, which was already hard enough to do. Now, he aims to reconnect at the place where everything started. He runs to the desert. He runs to the cave. He runs back to Blue, who isn't where she used to be. He wants to find closure and Keith wants Lance by his side on his ship.
