So Liz made Dead Meat and Final Girl Lockscreens! Enjoy these, they were really fun to make! 

So it turns out that the team building exercise with the maze was coming in more handy than anyone ever thought it would. Actually, it was the exact situation Keith and Lance found themselves in now, but there was a lot more at stake than just Lance getting shocked. In fact, Keith was incredibly worried. The two of them were supposed to go on a simple mission to collect some materials Coran needed for the castle, but now Lance was trapped, and it was up to Keith to get him out safely.

It was really Lance’s fault. He was goofing off and didn’t pay attention to where he was going and fell into a hole, of all things. They were on a rocky planet with endless canyons and mountains and they were warned beforehand that there were many hidden holes on the planet. It didn’t help that the planet seemed to have a constantly shifting surface meaning that Lance couldn’t get out the way he came. Luckily Pidge had recently installed mini BLIP tech sensors into their suits, so Lance was able to use that to create a map of the cave system below. The only problem was that Lance couldn’t view his own map since the sensor was only programmed to send to other paladins; resulting in Keith having the only map.

Keith had just made it to the entrance of a nearby cave that seemed to be the exit to the mysterious labyrinth that lay below the planet’s surface. Here he would be able to gain access to the map and lead Lance out, but the boy trapped underground was more impatient than Keith was.

“Keith? Keith!” Lance shouted over the coms.

“Calm down, Lance. I’m here. There’s no need to yell” Keith responded.

For a second all Keith could hear was Lance’s increasingly fast breathing before he finally responded, “I’m sorry but it’s pitch black down here. The suit lights help a bit, but it’s like the light is being absorbed by the blackness. I can hardly see two feet in front of me.”

“Lance, it’s okay. It’s just a little darkness.”

The paladin who never seemed to shut up was silent.

“Lance?” Keith questioned.

More silence followed by a quiet, “...yeah?”

“Are you… okay?”

Keith could hear Lance’s nervous laughter but it wasn’t anything he’d heard from the boy before. “I gotta admit, Keith. I’m afraid of the dark. This is kind of my worst nightmare.”

“Oh,” Keith said in surprise. He didn’t think Lance had any fears, but the way Lance was acting right now was all the proof he needed. “Okay, I’m right with you Lance. I’ll get you out of there. I promise. Just focus on my voice, okay?”

“You’re lucky you have such a nice one,” Lance muttered back.

Keith didn’t respond; he was too busy trying not to blush. Just then, his suit beeped, letting him know the map was finally downloaded and ready to view. “Okay, I got the map. You ready to move?”

“Okay but last time we did this, you ran me into the walls multiple times.”

“That’s because you didn’t listen to me! Plus we got through it eventually. Besides, now we actually trust each other. We got this, okay?”

“Fine, okay,” Lance sighed. “I trust you.”

“First thing, find the closest wall to you and walk two steps forward.” Keith begun.

“I swear if I run into a wall…” Lance begun.

After the first few turns, Lance seemed to relax. Instead of questioning Keith’s instructions, he started cracking jokes. Keith could still tell that Lance was nervous, but it was nice to hear him acting more like his usual self. He slowly ran out of jokes and devolved into puns that had Keith rolling his eyes despite the smirk on his face.

“Okay, you can go straight here for about twenty feet.” Keith instructed

“Hey Keith, what does Voltron use to earn more allies?”

“What?”

“Purr-suasion.” Lance giggled.

Keith gave no indication to how much he was enjoying these lame puns instead saying, “Stop here. The path forks.”

“What kind of tea do you think Allura drinks?”

“Turn right.”

“All-tea.”

That one got a short snort out of Keith, and he could practically here Lance’s massive grin growing every second.

“Oh Keith I got a really good one, made especially for you.” Keith was probably hallucinating but he swore he could see Lance winking at him despite him being eight feet underground. “Why didn’t you accept being the next black paladin?”

“I don’t know, Lance. Why?”

“You had to mullet over.”

As much as Keith didn’t want to encourage Lance, he couldn’t help laughing at the stupid pun. He might talk about Lance getting on his last nerves, but in reality whenever Lance made these stupid jokes or did something cute, it resulted in Keith’s heart fluttering. For whatever reason, the silly boy made Keith feel more loved and at home than he ever did on Earth.

Keith could hear Lance laughing too; he was struggling to say something, but couldn’t through the laughter. Keith found that hilarious and laughed harder. Lance gave up as his laughter increased along with Keith’s. Every time they started to calm down, someone would begin to laugh more and the cycle would begin anew. It wasn’t until Keith was wiping tears from his eyes that they finally caught their breaths, both sighing together as they calmed down.

“I didn’t expect you to enjoy that one.” Lance finally said, giggles minimal.

Keith shrugged. “What can I say? I kind of enjoy your comments on my hair.” Keith was feeling daring now. Like he could talk to Lance easier since they couldn’t see each other.

“How? I literally make fun of it every possible second.”

“Don’t bullshit me. I know you like it. The teasing just stems from your obsession with it.”

Keith expected some sort of smartass comment in return, but Lance was silent. “Holy shit.” Keith muttered.

“What?” Lance questioned.

“You really do like my hair?”

“No?” Lance stuttered. “The style is vastly outdated and it doesn’t even look like you ever brush it. Why would I like hair that looks like it hasn’t been conditioned in ten years?”

“You like it,” Keith said in a sing-song voice. “You want to wash it. You want to comb it. You want to braid it,” he continued lengthening the vowels so it was more of a song than a statement.

Lance didn’t acknowledge the accusation and instead changed the topics, “Where to next, pretty boy?”

Keith was slightly stunned. He may have been teasing Lance, but he didn’t expect such a blatant compliment that left him stuttering out “uhs” and “ums” as he pulled up the map again. That’s when he saw something that definitely wasn’t on the map before, sending jolts of adrenaline and fear down his spine and down to his fingertips.

“Fuck,” was all he managed to say.

The map didn’t show what was actually there, only Lance’s blue dot and a menacing red diamond blinking just ten feet away from Lance. It was around the corner, but it was in the middle of the path Lance needed to take.

“Keith, buddy. That didn’t sound too good? Is everything okay?” Lance asked, nerves seeping into his voice.

“Well…” Keith started, unsure of how to tell Lance there was some sort of threat in the pitch black just feet from him. “You’re in no immediate danger” he decided to say.

Lance groaned. “Please come up with something more reassuring than ‘you are in no immediate danger.’”

“Okay?” Keith tried something different, “There’s a possibility that whatever is around the corner is friendly.”

Lance’s response was no better this time. “I really gotta teach you what ‘reassuring’ means.”

“What do you want me to do? Call you ‘baby’ and tell you everything will be okay?” Keith snipped.

“Well that wouldn’t hurt,” Lance yelled, exasperated. The pause that followed that comment was a little more than awkward. Keith had meant it as a joke, but Lance was obviously too nervous to catch onto his joking tone of voice.

Eventually, Lance cleared his throat, bringing Keith’s attention back to the situation at hand. “So is there any way to get around this mystery creature?” Lance asked. “I mean I wouldn’t mind fighting it, but I’m still winded from that fall earlier.”

“No, It’s blocking your only way out. The other paths all lead to dead ends.”

“Just my luck,” Lance muttered. “Guess I’ll just charge in blind and hope I don’t die.”

“Don’t you dare,” Keith started.

“No, it’s fine, Keith. Even if I die, you still have five functioning paladins.”

“Lance don’t joke about that,” Keith interrupted.

“Really, if I die, the universe will be fine. Voltron will still be functional,” Lance continued despite Keith’s protests.

“Lance, no.I care about you too much for you to die out here!” Keith shouted.

That seemed to shut Lance up, nothing but a quiet “oh” could be heard through the comms. Keith didn’t mean to say that, but he did. Now he was sure he had fucked up the rocky relationship Keith and Lance finally had.

He didn’t have much time to dwell on it, because all the sudden the red diamond was moving and a loud roar echoed over the intercom. He heard Lance mutter a string of curse words as Lance’s own dot moved forward on the screen.

“Holy shit, this thing is glowing” was all Lance said as he turned the corner. Keith wanted to check up on him, but didn’t want to distract him in this life-or-death situation. Instead, he just listened to the monster’s screeches, Lance’s labored breathing, and the faint sound of Lance’s bayard shooting rapidly. It was a tense couple of minutes and Keith had no way of knowing if Lance was winning or losing the battle.

Then there was silence. Not even Lance’s breathing could be heard and Keith started panicking. “Lance? Lance! I swear to god if you die on me, I will never forgive you.”

Still nothing. “Shit, I accidentally confess to my crush just to have him die on me minutes later,” Keith said to himself. Keith didn’t know when he started pacing, but just as he was turning around at the edge of the cave, he saw what seemed to be the tip of Lance’s helmet sticking out from under the ground further in the cave.

Keith rushed over there to find Lance halfway out of the wall of the cave, pinned to the ground by whatever beast he had managed to defeat. Keith fell onto his knees, and ripped the helmet off of Lance’s head. The paladin was unconscious but slowly woke as Keith gently slapped his cheeks.

He woke with a goofy grin on his face and a quiet, “Oh hey, Keith. I defeated the monster.”

Keith couldn’t help but laugh. “Yes you did. You did a great job.” he said as he checked where Lance was pinned in the hole on the side of the cave. “Let’s focus on getting you out of here, okay?”

Keith used his sword and lodged it under the beast, using it to push the body of the animal up as Lance pulled himself out from under from the monster. Keith dropped the monster as soon as Lance was free, and scrambled over to him to tackle him in a hug. Bruised and battered, Lance could hardly support himself, so Keith held him up and pressed him to his chest.

“I’m so glad you’re okay,” Keith whispered into Lance’s neck. They stayed like that for a while with Keith calming down from the fear of losing Lance and Lance catching his breath. Eventually, Lance wrapped his arms around Keith’s waist.

“Hey Keith?” Lance whispered. Keith just hummed in response, too lazy to answer properly. “I care about you too.”

Keith tensed. He had forgotten about his earlier confession in favor for focusing on saving Lance. He didn’t want Lance to see is face, so he just hugged Lance tighter. “Not in the same way” he responded.

“Keith…” Lance breathed. His hands moved down to Keith’s hips and said louder, “Keith, look at me.” He pushed Keith up, despite Keith’s protests. Despite being hurt, he still managed to break out of Keith’s hold..

Lance reached a hand up to brush Keith’s hair out of the way, helmet long abandoned from when he thought Lance was dead. Lance smiled as he rested his hand against Keith’s reddened cheek. “I’ve had a crush on you since I first laid eyes on you in the Garrison,” Lance whispered.

Keith’s eyebrows drew together in confusion, “I didn’t even know who you were back then.”

Lance laughed then. “That doesn’t mean I didn’t know who you were,” Lance explained. “You stole my heart and you didn’t know I existed.”

“I’m sorry,” he apologized.

“What for?” Lance chuckled. “This might be the best day of my life.”

Keith smiled shyly, “Really?” he muttered as he finally brought up his gaze to meet Lance’s eyes.

Lance was staring sweetly and reached his hand behind Keith’s neck to pull him closer and closer until their noses were just touching. “Definitely,” he whispered before he pulled Keith in for a kiss.

Lance’s lips were softer than Keith imagined. His lips moved gently against Keith’s own and Keith hesitantly mimicked Lance’s own movements. It was a slow kiss, neither of them worried about rushing into something more. Keith’s hands were tingling, but they remained on Lance’s sides, gripping the paladin suit that kept their bodies separated.

Eventually Keith pushed Lance away and chuckled softly as Lance’s lips still remained perked even after Keith pulled away. “Come on, Lance. We need to get you into a cryopod.” Keith told him.

Lance groaned, “But I don’t wanna.”

Keith laughed as he stood up, “You’re such a child.” He reached a hand out to help Lance up, but the boy just reached both arms out in a wide gesture.

“Carry me?” Lance asked, pout firmly in place.

Keith contemplated for a second, “Only because you’re hurt, idiot.”

It was Lance’s time to laugh, “So you’re gonna call me names despite the fact we just kissed?”

“Us kissing doesn’t negate the fact that you’re an idiot,” Keith smirked.

“Rude,” Lance muttered.

“Yeah, but you like it.”
