This is a short fic I wrote a little while ago. Allura and Keith were out practicing maneuvers in their lions when Blue and Black Lion decided to take a little detour.
There are two chapters.
Night in the Cave.
Chapter 1
Rated PG
The sun was setting in a wooded area in the countryside of Arus. For hours Keith and Allura had been trekking across the rocky hills. Allura's feet were beyond pain and into numbness. Her legs treaded as if they had a mind of their own. She felt herself begin to doze off and was amazed how she could actually fall asleep while walking. There was a companionable silence between them or actually they were both so tired they weren't up to talking. Although Keith had more stamina than Allura he felt himself drifting off as well.
Earlier in the day they had been practicing maneuvers in their lions when both Blue and Black Lions decided to take them to this remote location. Allura and Keith had exited their lions when an odd thing happened. The lions took off! Keith and Allura were obviously perplexed as to why this happened. The lions never flew by themselves before.
Keith had quipped. "Just when we think we've got the lions figured out, they do something mysterious again! I guess we better go after them."
So, that's what they were doing for hours. Trying to get to where the lions were so they could get home. They could see them off in the distance but what they didn't realize was that they weren't as close as they thought.
They were getting so tired. They decided to look for a safe place to rest. They found a cave just in time. Just before they reached the cave, Allura started to collapse. Fortunately, Keith caught her in time and carried her in to the cave. He placed her gently on the cave floor onto a relatively soft spot. It was getting rather dark in the cave so Keith took out an emergency light up stick and powered it up so he could see what he was doing. They had few supplies with them: some water, some tissues, emergency lights, a couple of meal bars and two travel blankets that were folded so small that they could fit in a supply pocket attached to their belts.
Allura moaned and opened her eyes a little to see where she was.
"You're OK," Keith responded seeing her expression. "We're in one of the caves created to shelter citizens from Doom attacks. We're obviously too tired to continue walking, so we will rest here for the night and continue in the morning." He concluded.
Allura wearily said "Ok" and started to fall asleep again. Keith wanted to ask her if she wanted something to eat but decided to let her sleep instead. He covered her up with one of the blankets and lied down a few feet away from her and pulled the other cover on himself. He felt too tired to eat as well and dozed off himself.
A few hours later just after midnight, Allura began to stir. Her stomach woke her up. She felt a little disoriented at first but because the emergency light was still lit she could see Keith and remembered they were in a cave. She could hear Keith's stomach growling in his sleep (they didn't have dinner) and chuckled to herself.
'I wonder if it was my stomach that woke me up or his.' She thought.
She checked her supply pocket for the food but realized that Keith had been carrying both bars in his supply pocket. She didn't want to wake him but she was very hungry. She crawled over to where he was reclining and kneeled next to him on the right.
She gently pulled his blanket down to just past his waist.
'Oh shoot!' She exclaimed to herself. 'He's lying on it!'
Keith was lying partially to the left covering half of his supply pocket. This really frustrated Allura because she was quite hungry. She decided to be bold and reached over his body to the side he was leaning toward. She was just about to reach the pocket when her hand got stuck under Keith who had inadvertently turned slightly more to his left side.
Trying frantically to move her hand from under Keith, she found herself wrapped up in his embrace. He had unconsciously moved her hand from where it was pinned. He then intertwined her fingers with his own so she could not move that hand without waking him. He wrapped his other arm around her shoulders.
Allura just lay there wide eyed with her head against his chest. She still wanted something to eat but saw no way of escaping this predicament without waking him. She decided to rest instead. Feeling the warmth of his embrace and listening to the beating of his heart was very soothing to her. It was so soothing that she forgot about being hungry and fell asleep happy in his arms.
