Lance and Keith are dating or married.
They get into an argument which ends in Keith saying something really hurtful and Lance giving Keith the silent treatment. Keith lets it go on for a while as he thinks Lance isn’t capable of keeping his mouth shut for too long. Keith even jokes about Lances silent treatment with his Krolia who just laughs. But it’s been a week and Keith is getting desperate to hear his lovers voice. He’s apologized more than once. Hundreds of times now at this point but Lance isn’t letting up. The look in Lance’s eyes, that Keith didn’t notice until now, he looks so sad and disappointed. Keith must’ve really hurt Lance.
What’s Keith gonna do to get Lance to talk to him again. What can he do to make it up to him. He keeps thinking back on the agreement. Thinking he shouldn’t have said this or that and jeez that was harsh and man I wouldn’t want anyone to say that to me so why would I said that to him.
Keith can’t stop thinking. Nothing but blue on his mind constantly. He’s distracted constantly with the blade, during chores, training exercising.
Hunk can’t help him this time cause Lance won’t even talk to HIM about it and Lance tells Hunk everything. Shiro gave some advice but it was useless. Pidge doesn’t care and Coran and Allura are busy.
Ultimately Keith comes up with a plan A. He doesn’t leave Lance’s side no matter where he goes at first but that just pissed Lance off.
So he goes with plan B. He traps Lance is a corner. Keith being the only thing blocking Lance from freedom. It wasn’t easy, as much as Lance plays dumb, he’s actually very intelligent. But, eventually Keith got him.
Lance just kept looking off to the side. Away from Keith.
Keith sighed and lifted Lance’s chin to face him.
Lance looks as if he’s about to cry. Those pretty blue eyes swimming sadly like an beautiful blue ocean of diamond fish.
“I’m so sorry 연인. What I said was wrong and hurtful. I didn’t mean any of it. I promised you I’d never hurt you but I did and there’s no changing it. Unless I find a way to go back in time and slap myself but-“
“If you didn’t mean it, you wouldn’t have said it. That’s how you see me. That’s how you think of me. Why are you even here if you think so little of me. If you hate me so much why do you- I- I don’t understand. Is this relationship a joke to you? Did someone dare you to date(marry?) me? Is this a bet? I don’t understand.”
Keith stayed silent, as much as he wanted to interrupt and hush those negative thoughts, it seemed as though Lance had been holding it in for too long and Keith wanted to hear all of it. One so he could make sure Lance got it all out and two as a punishment for hurting Lance.
“Do you like seeing me suffer? I was thinking so hard, I thought maybe we shouldn’t be together. Maybe I’m just not good enough. But I love you so much. I can’t imagine being without you. Being alone again.”
After that Lance just slid down the wall and sat at Keith feet, openly sobbing. Keith standing frozen still in front of Lance.
‘Do you like seeing me suffer?’ That hurt Keith to his soul. But, what hurt worse was hearing that Lance was thinking they should separate. Over Keith’s dead body.
Keith sat in front of Lance after processing everything. He tried to hold Lance but Lance pulled away.
“My love for you isn’t a joke, a bet nor a punishment. I hate seeing you like this. I hate not hearing you talk. I hate not hearing you sing, whistle, I hate not hearing your footsteps around the house. I hate when I’m away from you. I hate seeing you suffer. Lastly, I hate being the cause of your suffering.”
Lance’s eyes softened but his tears didn’t stop.
Keith took Lance’s hands in his. Lance let him.
“Lance you’re my everything. You’re the reason I wanna come home every day and the reason I don’t want to leave. You’re the reason I wake up early when I’m not working and go to bed late. I’m not the best with words and I need to work on my temper but that’s not an excuse to say what I said to you, and I know no matter how many times I apologize it’ll never fix it. But, I’ll apologize till I’m in my grave and beyond. Because you’re worth it. You’re worth my time and my patience. It’s me that not good enough for you. But, I’m not willing to let you go. I am willing to do better. I will do better. You don’t deserve to be talked to like that and I’ll make sure I don’t do it again.”
They’re making eye contact now. Lance’s tears have slowed and Keith pulls him onto his lap.
“Will you give me another try?”
“I just wanted you to relax but you were so focused on getting something done and month ahead of time. Why were you so angry.”
“I don’t know. I’m sorry baby.”
“Was there something on your mind?”
“I guess I just wanted to stay ahead of things. A little too far ahead now that I think of it. The migraine I had wasn’t helping my short fuse either.”
The pause was killing Keith. But, he felt he deserved it. He made his baby cry.
After a short pause that felt like a million years Lance looked back up and nodded slowly.
Keith leaned in for a kiss but Lance puts a delicate hand between their lips. Keith kisses it anyway which earned him a small smile that was gone just as quick as it was there.
“Promise me you’ll never say stuff like that again. You know I’m insecure about stuff like that.”
“I know. I’m so sorry. I promise”
Lance moves his hand away and leaned in, but not all the way. Keith had to work for it.
Keith smirked a bit and connected their lips.
Possible makeup sex with Lance getting fucked in the corner he’s trapped in, EXTENSIVE aftercare and sleepy cuddles.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
