"The rest of the team has probably gotten here by now, but Lance doesn't have it in him to care.

The two of them throw themselves at eachother, grabbing at eachother like it'd be their last. Lance thinks he's choking, but he also thinks it's because of the way his eyes water and breath gets short.

Keith, who, Lance notes, is an inch or so taller than he was before, grapples at Lance. He's babbling something in Lance's neck (it's either oh my god or just Lance over and over again).

They both, undoubtedly, probably look gross. But, if you can guess, Lance doesn't give two shits.

All he does, with that thought in mind, is grab Keith by his cheeks and kiss him. It's not long, but it feels like it.

He missed Keith. Oh, how he missed Keith."

When Lance died, he had no idea that Red would automatically reconnect with Keith. With the aftermath of both of these problems, the boys have to navigate through daily life-- Keith with the idea the love of his life is dead, and Lance dealing with the absence of Keith and the effect of his death on himself.
