Thanks for the review. Don't worry wade wells, it will be a Keith/Allura story too. Now I let you enjoy.

the significance of a kiss

Like the others time, Voltron had destroyed the robeast. The battle was hard, but finaly, they have winned. When the others had returned to their lair, Keith allow himself to let a sigh escape him. His worry for the princess safety had increase tenth time when the blue lion was hitting by the robeast during the battle. Like always, he had hided his feelings during the battle. He can't have allowed himself to be distracted during the battle, but now, before he had to report to Coran, he can let himself be free with his feelings. He knows that he is not worthy of loving her, but he can't help it. Since that fateful day when he had see her in thiese old stairs, his feelings for her have growing.

Allura sighed too. She had feel Keith worry during the battle, and strangely she had feeling pleased by it. She don't want to return to the palace where Nanny and Coran want to rule her life in her place. More than once she had cursed her life for being born as a princess. She don't want to marry someone just because he is a prince, she want to marry for love. A princess had to marry for her planet, not for herself, and Allura can't accepte it the more the time passed. nanny had invited as much princes as she can for Allura to find the perfect husband. But If Allura, when she was sixteen can have been fooled by a prince title and some wealth, it can't work now. She, no longer, was the naive girl she once was. She know that she must marry one day, but it will be on her term, not on Nanny's or Coran's term.

This night, Keith is on duty watch. After his friend had go to sleep, he had come to the watch room and began his duty. There is not much to look this night and he let his mind going to the past. When he had lost both of his parents, he was send to an orphanage because he don't have any family alive. There, he had meeted his first best friend Sven. Sven, like himself had lost his family, but, on the contrary of Keith, Sven had a brother who was still alive. But Sven had become closer to Keith than his own brother, which had angered the young boy. When Keith had won his entry to the accademy, Sven had follow him but Ryou had not wanted to go too. At the accademy, Keith had meet the others memebers of what will become the future voltron force. All of them are orphan, but whenever they are close, Keith can't help but miss his friend. The death of Sven had brock something in him, more than the death of his own parents.

Keith had loved his mother very much. She was a very kind woman, and she had loved him very much. keith was the only child she can have, his parents have try to have an other child without any success. His father, on the other side was a little colder with Keith. He was proud of his son, but he had also wanted him to be the best in everything he tryed. Whenever Keith had not a top score, then his father had asked him why he had failed. Keith had loved his father, he had loved very much that his father had taught him how to fight, but sometime he wished that his father loved him much like John's father do. John was his best friend when they were young. He was a son of a weathly family, and he have some royal blood in him. One of his ancestor was a king of a small country and John was very proud of it. That's the only thing Keith can't have stend to his friend, coming from a commoner family Keith can't have understand how some blood can be higher than the others. Now Keith understand it. This fact made him angry but he see the truth behind the words now.

Coran is watching the young commander silently. He know that he can trust Arus to the commander. The man is worth of anything, even the princess. It had take him time to understand it, but now he can't play blind. He know that the princess and the commander have some feelings for each others, but they don't seem aware of it. Allura is like a daughter to him and he just wanted her to be happy. He know that no princes Nanny will convince to come in hope to find a wife would have any chance. Not when Allura can see Keith every days. None of them can't stend to the commander. Coran sighed. How two people can be so stuborn is beyond him. They have the perfect match for each other right in front of them and they can't see it.

The first time when Coran had see something between the two of them was after two years. Until then, the advisor had not payed attention to the fact that the princess had never kissed Keith, not even once. The princess had give at last one kiss to each member of the voltron force, except for Keith. This was not like the princess not to thank someone when he had helped her. So, Coran had begin to think, why doesn't Allura wanted to thanks Keith by a kiss on his cheek like for the others ? Does she feel something special toward the commander ? He don't have wanted to believe it, but with time, he had finaly understand how much her feeling for him have going deep. For the commander, he had just needed to see him crying when they all have thinked that the princess was dead. Coran knows that Keith can hid his feeling better than Allura, but he had no doubt about the love they share. He just want to made their life easier. He had no doubt in his mind that one day they will marry and until then he will be their guardian angel.
