Kolivan and Keith #22 for the ship meme (if ur comfy with it of course) :3
Send me a Ship and a Number and I will Write a Kiss
22. in a rush of adrenaline.
They barely make it to the ship in time to avoid the explosion.Ā The energy and heat waves still hit them, and Kolivan snarls as he does his best to regain control of the ship and fly them to safety ā or, at least, a safer location.
Keith is still trying to catch his breath and he can feel blood dripping down his leg, making the uniform stick to his skin in a disgusting mixture with sweat and dirt.Ā He still goes over to the control panel, half holding himself up against them, half willing to help Kolivan in any way he can.Ā His leg can wait, it totally canā
āWhat were you thinking.ā
Shivers run up and down Keithās spine.Ā Kolivanās voice is not louder than usual, but thereās something in it, the tightness, the anger, perhaps, the frustration; thereās something in Kolivanās voice that makes him stand up as straight as he can and turn to look at the other, forgetting to put on a mask to hide his pain.
āWhat,ā Kolivan insists, and his breathing is out of control as well, his face is dirty with grime and full of abrasions,Ā āwere. you. thinking.ā
āKolivan, Iāā
āNo,ā he growls and next thing Keith knows, his feet are hovering above the floor and Kolivan is holding him up by the neckline of the uniform,Ā āNo! You do not put yourself at riskāyou do not put yourself at risk, and jeopardize the entire mission along the way!ā
Keith canāt contain himself anymore.Ā Ā āIf I hadnāt done that, they wouldāve shot you!Ā I wasnāt going to let them kill youāā
His words die in his mouth when Kolivan kisses him: itās sudden, rough, and Keith can feel his lips bruising under the otherās intensity.Ā Itās a kiss that shakes him to his very soul.
āIf surviving means I witness another death,ā Kolivan whispers, and itās somehow something more breathtaking and heartbreaking than when he shouts, overcome with pain,Ā āthen Iād rather not survive another day.ā
