The galra soldiers advanced on the blue paladin, throwing a huge rock towards him, pinning Lance under a rock. All of a sudden Zarkon walked out with his mom, throwing her down in front of him. "Say your goodbyes blue paladin. She will die, along with the rest of your petty family."
"NO! Take me instead!"
Zarkon chuckles, "No, no. You are too valuable to us. Taking something you love just will make you talk."
"Lance. I love you, never forget that."
Zarkon fired a blast at his mom, and fires on his house, forcing Lance to watch his mom die at the hands of Zarkon.
"NO!!" He screams as his home goes up in flames.
Lance jolted awake, waking up Keith, who was sleeping next to him. A layer of cold sweat covered him.
"Lance? What happened? Another bad dream?" Keith asks worriedly.
Lance nods, "My mom died in the dream."
"Oh Lance." Keith wraps his arm around the younger boy, pulling him closer, "Zarkon?"
"Yeah" Lance shifted slightly, resting his head on Keith's shoulder.
Keith adjusts slightly, moving so that he doesn't fall off the edge of the bed, "Let's try to go back to sleep. I won't let anything happen to you Lance." "Okay." Lance starts drifting away.
The two lay back down, Lance already starting to fall asleep on Keith. Keith smiles at Lance, "How did I get so lucky to have you in my life?" He plants a gentle kiss on the sleeping boys forehead, before falling asleep himself.
Keith is the first awake, not moving a muscle, and looking down at the really cute boy who is snuggled up against him, head on his shoulder.
Lance slowly comes to consciousness, realizing he had fallen asleep on Keith's shoulder, and the taller boy was awake already. All of a sudden, a loud bang is heard outside Lance's bedroom, and the door slides open, revealing Lance's dad standing in the doorway. Lance sighs, "What is it?"
"You're boyfriends mom just showed up. She wants to talk to the two of you outside, both of you put shirts on and go see her." His dad turns and leaves.
"For the last time, Keith is not my boyfriend!" Lance calls after him, "Maybe one day.." He thinks, looking up at Keith, "Morning hottie. SHIT DID I SAY THAT OUT LOUD?!"
Keith smiles and sits up, "Morning. And yes, but it's okay, you're as cute as ever."
Keith pulls Lance in, playing with the brunette's hair, before kissing him on the lips.
Surprised, Lance returns the kiss, before pulling away, "Ok listen, I love your kisses, but you're mom probably doesn't like waiting."
Keith shrugs, "You're not wrong. Let's go after I find our shirts, not exactly sure my mom would take well to both of us in shorts and bed head hair." He chuckles, tossing the blue paladin his shirt.
"True." Lance catches his shirt, pulling it over his hair, "You know, I like your hair like that, all messed up." Lance says as he stands up, "Let's go you."
Keith walks out to the ship, Lance half a step behind him, "Mom? You here?"
Krolia drops down behind the two, "Hey you, when were you planning to tell me you finally got your crush as your boyfriend?"
Keith rubs the back of his neck sheepishly, "You know, we aren't dating... Yet."
Lance looks up at the 'Yet', they were going to talk after this.
"Oh sure Keith. The real reason I'm here is because I couldn't find you anywhere, and Kosmo didn't exactly like not having you around."
At the sound of his name, the giant space wolf bounded out of the small fighter, effectively tackling the two boys, before sitting down and thumping his tail, wanting to play. Lance threw his ball, Kosmo running to get it. The two stood up and dusted themselves off.
Lance stepped forward, "Krolia, do you mind if Keith stays here this week? I like having him around."
Krolia laughs, "if it keeps him out of his room, then he can stay for as long as he wants, or when I call him home."
Keith chuckles, "Yeah. Alright, we will see you later."
Krolia flips into the ship, calling after them, "I better be invited to the wedding!"
The two chuckle, then Lance turns toward Keith, "Follow me, I wanna show you something."
Keith raises his eyebrows before shrugging and following Lance.
The two walk together over the large fields of the farm, coming to a stop at a little cottage/tiny house.
Lance glances back at Keith, before opening the door, revealing a little house, fully furnished, with a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and living room with a tv.
Keith looks around in awe, "What is this place?"
Lance smiles,"well it was a storage shed, but I redid it before you got here so that if i needed to leave my house, I could move in here." Lance says, rubbing the back of his neck as Keith comes back into view, "Whaddya say Keith? Wanna move in here?"
Keith blushes, turning red, "With you?"
Lance's altean marks glow as he turns to Keith, "Yeah. With me."
Keith smiles, "If its with you, then yes." Keith pulls the other boy into a kiss, the two enjoying the peace and quiet.
The two break apart, their communicators buzzing. "Pidge?" They say in unison.
"Yup, it's me."
Lance speaks first, "Are you in your paladin outfit?"
"Yeah. And go outside, NOW!"
The two run outside, skidding to a stop at what sits in front of them.
"It can't be..." Lance whispers.
"Yeah it can. And if they found us, the universe needs saving again." Keith grins. "Pidge, we'll call you back." The comm goes silent as Keith turns to Lance. "What do you say? Go out and save the universe again?"
Lance grins cockily. "Let's go."
The two run into their lions, suiting up and getting into their lions.
Keith activates the comm. "Hunk, Pidge, Shiro. We'll be at the garrison soon." Let's go back out there.
