Figured since this one is shorter than usual, I'd go ahead and give it to you!

After that Lance started to visit Keith almost everyday when he could. He wasn't sure why he was so drawn to the man, but when he was with him he felt...different.

He felt like he didn't have to keep up the Prince facade when he was around Keith, Lance felt like he could be...well, Lance.

Keith had already seen one of his most angry moments.

So there was no worse 'Lance' he could see.

Plus he was a Galra prisoner, it's not like he had to impress him anyway.

Everyday Lance would bring Keith his lunch or maybe even his dinner and they'd have some small talk here or there, but Lance was the one leading it. Lance was the one taking all the weight of keeping the conversation going. Which made Lance a little sad.

A few days later Lance was on his way to the dining room for dinner, when he started to think of Keith. It was weird, because the thoughts going through his mind weren't what he usually thought.

It's wasn't about how the food he brought him looked cold, or smelled gross. Or how Keith's clothes were beginning to rip and tear at some places.

It was thoughts like

What was his life before...this?

What was his life before getting captured by one of the Galras biggest enemies?

Was Keith's life all sunshine's and roses..or was it like Lances.

Was he going through so much at the moment that he didn't even full register the danger he put himself through.

Lance guessed he'd just never know.

Keith had been sitting in the same rotten, dirty, mess of a cell for days...he'd been fed cold, hard, grainy food, and not for a single second did he wish he was home instead.

"Anywhere, and anything's better then back 'there'." Keith whispered under his breath.

He didn't like to refer to where he left as "home". People always said home is where you can come and relax. Home is where you can come back to a loving family and open arms. They said home smelled like apple pie and warm cookies.

None of that described the place he left.

None of that ever would.

Where Keith left was more of a prison he was in now.

"What?" Keith hears called out into the quietness of the prison cells.

His head shoots up to see Lance standing on the opposite side of the cell bars staring down at him. Lance had a soldier standing beside him every time he came to visit, so Keith assumed he was some kind of higher up in the castle. But considering Lance's age, Keith guessed it was probably a parent that held the title.

"I didn't say anything." Keith answered shortly, avoiding eye contact with the man.

Keith saw Lance roll his eyes, while he handed Keith his dinner through the bars.

Keith's eyes were drawn to the steam coming off the plate. His eyes shout up to Lance as he looked at him in shock.

"Well hurry up before I eat it myself!" Lance told him, shoving the food closer to Keith.

Keith reached out his arm and snatched the plate from Lances grasp and began to eat the food quickly.

He didn't want Lance to change his mind when he had not even been given the chance to taste the warm delicious food.

Keith almost choked on the food when he heard a giggle come from in front of him.

Keith's head shot up, food all over his mouth.

Lance...Lance was giggling... his mouth hid behind his hand as he looked to the side, trying not to bust out laughing.

It was...kind of cute.

Keith looked up at Lance with a confused look and slightly red cheeks.

"Y-you have food all over your face!" Lance said in between giggles.

"H-here take t-this!" Lance chuckled out, handing Keith a handkerchief.

Keith blushed a shade darker and gladly took the handkerchief from Lance, and began to clean his face off.

While he was cleaning his face off Lance stood in front of him smiling behind his hand, Keith's mouth started to widen as well when-

"Sir!" A soldier Keith thought was named Shiro called out to Lance.

Lances eyes disconnected with Keith's to look over at the man.

"Miss Allura is wondering where you ran off to." Shiro kept talking.

"Oh! I almost forgot!" Lance told him, eyes widening.

"I've got to go Keith but I'll see you tomorrow okay!" Lance told him running off down the hallway towards the exit.

"Y-yeah,...can't wait." Keith whispered back for no one to hear but himself.
