Keith: *is panting, plopping into a chair*
Lance: *wrapping arms around Keith* Keith?
Keith: *looks at Lance and immediately throws his arms around him*
Lance: *rubs hands along his back* It’s okay, Keith, you’re alright now. You’re safe.
Keith: *is shaking immensely holding onto to him for dear life it seems*
Lance: *tears slip down his cheeks* I’ve got you, I’ve got you. It’s okay. Shh, shh.
Hunk: *to Pidge* *whispered* PDA . . .
Pidge: *glares at him* Unless you get a girlfriend somehow, shut it.
Keith: *pulls away from Lance and looks at him. His face badly bruised*
Lance: *begins kissing each bruise* *trying to make it feel better*
Keith: *closes his eyes. Letting him*
Lance: Keith . . . I’m so sorry . . .
Keith: *gives him a soft peck on the lips as if to say he forgives him*
Lance: *sobs into Keith’s chest*
Keith: …*puts his hands on his cheeks and lifts his face up to look him and gently wipes his tears*
Lance: I love you so much.
Keith: ….*leans his forehead against his. His voice sounding very raspy and faint* I love….you with all my heart…
Lance: *hugs Keith again, gently so as to not upset any wounds* This will never happen again. I promise.
Keith: *burries his face in his shoulder*
Guy: *working at the control table*
Shiro: *comes up to Guy* . . . thank you. You helped us get Keith back and escape.
Guy: *looks at him* … *sticks his hand out to shake his*
Shiro: *very surprised* That’s a very . . . human thing to do. *takes the hand offered and gives it a firm shake*
Guy: *lets go of his hand and turns away without saying anything* *drives the ship out of the asteroid belt*
Shiro: But . . . why did you help us?
Guys: *closes his eyes* . . .
Shiro: *uncomfortable with the silence* *moves to sit next to Guy in the copilot seat*
Guy: *looks at him* . . . *decides to take off his mask revealing a young Galra face with largish ears and shaggy dark hair* *looks down*
Shiro: *surprised look, soon replaced by a calm and collected one* Oh. Are you part of the Blade of Marmora?
Guy: . . . *shakes his head no*
Shiro: . . . Oh . . . . I thought maybe you were, since we’re allied with them. Keith is one of them, too . . . so I thought . . . sorry for jumping to conclusions. Thank you for helping us.
Guy: *finally speaks* You. . .shouldn't thank me. *it sort of a young teenage boy sort of voice. Sort of innocent sounding*
Shiro: *smiles warmly* You helped us. Keith is alive thanks to you. Of course I’m going to thank you.
Guy: You...don't understand...I...was the one who took him…
Shiro: *blinks in surprise* *then starts laughing uncontrollably*
Guy: *looks at him* What is so funny?
Shiro: *wiping at eyes* It’s just--the guy who took Keith is also his rescuer. Who would have thought! Ha ha! That’s so funny! Thanks for changing your mind!
Guy: *scowls at him before throwing a knife which doesn't pierce Shiro but pins the fabric of his glove to the wall of the ship and grabs him by his collar* DON’T...laugh at me.
Hunk: Holy quiznak!! *points to Shiro* You . . . You LAUGHED!
Shiro: *still a little mirthful* Yeah, is it a crime now?
Hunk: N-no, I’m just surprised. You haven’t laughed in, like, three months. Barely even smiled.
Shiro: Well, this guy had me laughing pretty easily. And not *he looks back to Guy* because of anything stupid. But because I never thought something like that could happen.
Guy: *narrows his eyes at him before letting him go and turning away* I didn't just change my mind, alright??
Shiro: Alright, alright, I apologize. It must have been really hard for you *sounds sincere*
Guy: Yes, it was. But something about your friend made me feel like I had to save him...I don't know why...it's like someone or something was screaming at me, telling me he's important to me somehow…
Shiro: It was probably your conscience.
Guy: No...it was much more than that…
Shiro: ???? Like what?
Guy: Ugh...I can’t explain it okay? Just stop talking.
Keith: *pulls away from Lance’s embrace and looks around the pod* *speaks with all effort that he can. His voice strained and quiet* Where are we?
Lance: We’re in an escape pod on our way back to the castle, I think.
Coran: *contacts them* Guys? Where are you?
Shiro: *through the coms* Coran, Allura. We found Keith . . . and had a bit of help in his escape.
Allura: *guarded tone* what kind of help?
Shiro: Someone who would be very beneficial to have on our side, instead of against us. *voice stern*
Coran: Hang tight. We're coming to get you. Where are the lions?
Shiro: I . . . I think they were left--
*outside windshield, Red pops into view, following behind the pod*
Lance: *chuckles* see, Keith? Even Red came to save you.
Keith: W-Who? *coughs in frustration at his voice*
Lance: *winces a bit in pain at the hurt sound of his voice* The Red Lion, silly. *puts on a comforting smile*
Keith: Oh...ah..eh...mmm…
Lance: *rubs his shoulder, arm still wrapped around his back* it's okay, you don't have to talk right now.
Keith: *just cuddles up to him*
*the castle arrives in front of them*
Guy: Is that your ride?
Shiro: *nods* I hope Allura is at least a little welcoming . . . Although it took a suicide mission for her to accept Keith as a friend once more.
Guy: Keith….Keith… *lands the ship in the castle*
Hunk: *sighs* thank goodness we're here. I'm starving. *and he cannot handle anymore PDA*
Pidge: *exits the ship with Hunk and Shiro*
Lance: *looks down at Keith* do you want me to carry you? Or can you go in by yourself?
Keith: *stands up and shakes starting to fall over*
Lance: *catches him easily* haha, I'll take that as an invitation, gorgeous.
Keith: ….*blushes at being called gorgeous and looks at him*
Lance: *blushes too, but doesn't look away from Keith* it's good to have you back.
Keith: *smiles at him*
Guy: *slowly exits the ship putting his helmet on*
Lance: *carrying Keith behind Guy* Uh, dude, the mask makes you look more threatening and guarded. Allura will definitely attack you with that thing on.
Guy: Apparently I'm more threatening with it off.
Lance: *winces* I guess we'll just have to see what happens, then. I'll get Keith to a pod. Good luck. *before he leaves, he turns back* oh, and . . . Thank you, for helping me--us--get him back. It really, really means a lot to me.
Guy: ...Forget about it…
Lance: *smiles sympathetically* well, I don't think I can. *turns and leaves with Keith*
Guy: *mumbles* Doesn't matter...I'll be dead soon anyway…
Keith: *looks back at the guy as Lance carries him away*
Lance: *sees Keith's lingering gaze* *whispers* don't worry. We'll help him.
Keith: *winces at the guy like he's trying to figure out something*
Lance: *looks back and forth between the two before turning a corner* what is it? Something wrong?
Keith: *shakes his head as if to say nevermind*
Lance: *purses his lips in thought* *carries Keith the rest of the way to the pods*
Keith: *groans in pain*
Lance: *through the coms* hey, Coran? I don't really know how to work the healing pods. Could you help me get Keith into one? *to Keith* it's alright, buddy, you'll feel better soon. *strokes his head gently*
Keith: *his eyes droop at that*
Coran: On my way
Lance: thanks Coran. *smiles softly at Keith and continues to pet*
Coran: *comes in and gets a pod open* Just set him inside. I'll adjust the settings*
Lance: thanks. *carefully sets Keith in a pod*
Keith: *grasps his hand*
Lance: *smiles reassuringly* don't worry, I won't leave you alone. I'll be right here when you wake up.
*their hands slip apart*
Coran: *closes the pod*
Keith: *slowly falls asleep*
Lance: *sits down in front of the pod to wait for Keith*
Coran: The pod will open up when the process is complete. Hang in there *heads out of the room*
Lance: *nods absently, eyes on Keith's face* *pulls his knees to his chin and gets comfy* please wake up soon . . .
Guy: *looks around the castle as he follows behind the others to the main deck*
Allura: *standing behind the main control panel* welcome to our home. *enunciates the word home with a cold look*
Guy: *looks at her silently because of that*
Allura: I trust you won't be trying to hurt my family?
Guy: *puts his head down* … *shakes his head no*
Allura: *nods* good.
Shiro: *whispers to Guy* she can be a little untrusting at first. It was really funny, when we first met, she just about took Lance's ear off after he flirted with her.
Guy: *glances at Shiro and then back Allura* *takes a knee in front of her*
Allura: *cocks a brow* Why are you kneeling?
Guy: ….I have no choice...but to serve you now...princess…
*everyone's jaw drops aside from Allura and Guy*
Allura: *both eyebrows rise* and why is that?
Guy: ...because I have betrayed my former master...there is no going back now.
Allura: *nods* or this could be a trap.
Shiro: *hissing* Allura!
Allura: I'm simply being cautious. We don't know what his real intentions are.
Shiro: He risked his life to help us escape.
Guy: However you feel about it, I will be out of your soon either way most likely.
Shiro: what do you mean?
Guy: Betrayal is punishable by death.
Hunk: whoa, what? Like, death death? Or like “almost barely keeping you alive to use as an example” death?
Guy: Master Drenn is not that merciful. His ways are to slaughter people like animals.
Hunk: *face goes pale*
Guy: I have accepted my fate but the least I can do is redeem myself from years of serving someone as horrific as my former master.
Allura: . . . What is your name?
Guy: …*removes his helmet* ...Thel
Allura: *nods* Thel, you may stay here--
Hunk: *YEAH!!*
Allura: HOWEVER, you will be watched, and if anything happens to my family, anything at all, you leave at once.
Thel: Fair enough
Shiro: *puts a hand firmly on Thel’s shoulder* Good to have you on the team.
Thel: *tenses up when he touches him and looks away*
Hunk: *waves for Thel to follow him* hey, I wanna see what you can and can't eat. If you're like Keith, then I don't think the substitute ginger is gonna be used anymore. Catnip, am I right?
Thel: *just gives him a confused look and follows him out*
Coran: You know Allura, he's just a kid…
Allura: . . . I know . . . But you can never be too careful with the Galra.
Pidge: Are you kidding me Allura? Like seriously? You're so racist
Allura: *winces* I just don't want to take chances.
Pidge: This guy had the guts to come here and change his heart for good! They are gonna kill him now but he did it anyway! He’d probably terrified but doesn't want to show it.
Allura: . . . *quietly* I just don't want to lose anyone else to the Galra anymore. When . . . When Altea was destroyed, I couldn't stop it. But now I have a chance.
Pidge: Oh shut up and get over yourself!! Learn psychology woman! *storms out*
Allura: Coran . . .
Coran: *says nothing and looks away*
Allura: *bites her lip and says nothing more* *was she REALLY doing what was best?*
*Keith's pod opens up*
Lance: *jumps up to catch him* Keith! *smiles wide* You're awake!
Keith: *falls against him* *groans*
Lance: How do you feel?
Keith: *looks at him* hmm?
Lance: you feeling better? Or worse? Do we need to put you back in? Oh no, something went wrong, didn't it?! Oh, cheese, what do I do--?!?!?!
Keith: *smiles and touches his face*
Lance: *panicking immediately stops* *smiles back hesitantly* You okay?
Keith: You’re adorable
Lance: *blushes deeply* well, that didn't really answer my question, but . . .
Keith: *kisses his face*
Lance: *smiles goofily* Are you hungry?
Keith: A little
Lance: Let's go eat something, then. *tangles their hands together*
Keith: K
*they walk to the kitchen*
Hunk: *giving Thel yet another serving of goo* This stuff tastes nasty to us humans, but apparently Keith loves it. *shoves brown goo in Thel’s face*
Thel: U-Uhhh no thanks…
Hunk: *shrugs* that's fine, I can give it to Keith when he wakes up.
Lance: Might as well give it to him now. *steps into room*
Hunk: *smiles brightly* he's awake!
Lance: *smiles and nods* yeah, he just woke up and feeling a little peckish.
Hunk: How do you even know that word? *handing Keith the brown goo*
Lance: *mock shock* Ah! I beg your pardon, but I have a very high vocabulary.
Hunk: *snickers* Uh huh.
Keith: *eats*
Thel: *watches Keith*
Lance: So *sits down at the table next to Keith* whatcha guys up to in here?
Hunk: well, since we now have two Galra aboard--well, a Galra and a half--I wanted to know what kinds of things tasted the best or what Thel might be allergic to and stuff.
Keith: *freezes* *whispers* ...Th-Thel?
Hunk: Oh, yeah, that's his name. Thel . . . Actually, I don't know any other name except for that.
Lance: Keith? What's wrong?
Keith: …
Thel: Galra and a half...?
Hunk: Yeah! Keith is pretty cool! He's half-Galra.
Thel: . . . That’s...interesting. . .I'm a hybrid too. Not sure of what but I've always known I was different.
Hunk: whoa, seriously?!?!? That's awesome, man!!!
Keith: ...THAT'S IT!!
Lance: *jumps at the sudden noise* what, what???
Keith ...THAT WAS HIS NAME!!
Lance: Who's? Thel’s?
Keith: I….I’ve always had memories of having a brother…
Lance: *eyes widen* Wait, so, Thel is--
Keith: *looks at Thel*
Thel: ...what?
Hunk: Whoa, this got seriously trippy.
Thel: Wait...you're not seriously thinking…
Lance: We can always test it out. Like, check for DNA matches or something.
Hunk: That's . . . Actually pretty smart, Lance.
Lance: Hey!
Thel: What? No. I did have a brother too but he died when we were little…
Keith: ...when I was little...my brother disappeared... *walks towards Thel*
Lance: Thel, did you at least want to try the DNA thingy? At least then you'd know for sure instead of trying to guess.
Thel: ...I...I
Keith: *gets up close to Thel and looks at him in the eyes* It….*puts his hand on his face* It is you…*tears up*
Thek: *he freezes and his eyes widen*
Hunk: *whispers to Lance* I think we should leave them alone.
Lance: *looks back at Keith and nods, a bit hesitant to leave him alone*
Hunk: He'll be fine. Let's go.
*Hunk leaves* *Lance doesn't move*
Thel: *blinks like he just remembered something* K...Keith? Keith?
Keith: *nods*
Thel: *tears up* I….I thought you were dead…
Keith: No...I'm here
Thel: *hugs him and sobs*
Keith: *holds him*
Lance: *tears up* Thel . . . How . . . How did you think Keith died?
Keith: *looks at Lance* It must have been when our home was attacked and we got burried in a bunch of rocks...it's a long story…
Lance: *wilts* *feels like he shouldn't be there* oh . . .
Pidge: *comes in* ...Did I...miss something here…?
Lance: Apparently, they're brothers.
Shiro: Who is who now? *steps in behind Pidge*
Lance: *points to the brothers* Brothers.
Shiro: *eyes blow wide* What? Really? Small world . . . Or, I guess, small universe.
Pidge: Woah! ...It all makes sense now! No wonder Thel felt like he needed to save him! This is incredible! What are the odds of this?? I gotta run the numbers…
Allura: *walks in* *stops in surprise at the hugging brothers* Uh . . . What is happening?
Pidge: Thel and Keith are brothers!
Allura: . . . What? Is this another lie?!
Pidge: WHAT?? NO!! GET OUT!!
Allura: *cautious eyes* *looks to Lance* Is it true?
Lance: Uh, duh.
Keith: *pulls out of the hug* Thel Thel, these are my friends, Pidge Shiro and Allura.
Thel: We've met
Keith: That's my boyfriend Lance.
Lance: *blushes at the title but waves shyly to Thel*
Allura: *tensed shoulders ease* Alright . . . So you're brothers now . . . I'm still keeping an eye on you. *walks away without getting food*
Pidge: *rolls her eyes*
Shiro: *whistles* she needs to calm down.
Keith: *takes Thel’s hand and pulls him with him* Lance! It's my brother!
Lance: *looks fondly at the pair* Sure is!
Keith: *grabs Lance’s hand and drags them both out of the kitchen* This is the best day of my life.
Lance: *chuckles* Mine too.
Pidge: *tears up*
Shiro: He finally found his family.
Pidge: *tries to hide her tears* Y-Yup…
Shiro: *places a hand on her shoulder and squeezes* We'll find them, Katie.
Pidge: Thanks but...if I don't...you're as good a dad as I could ever hope to have...And I know Keith agrees…
Shiro: *laughs lightly* Well, I'm honoured.
Keith: *drags them around the castle talking nonstop about a lot of things*
Thel: … *sort of smiles* What is happening?
Lance: *whispers as best he can while still running along* Keith is just really, really happy. It’s kinda rare, so I’m not gonna stop him. *eyes train back to a happy Keith* *smiles warmly*
Keith: *suddenly runs out of breath and falls onto his knees*
Lance: Whoa, Keith!
Thel: What? What's wrong??
Lance: *kneels down beside Keith* Do you know who I am still?
Keith: *has his eyes closed breathing heavily*
Lance: Keith? Keith, can you hear me?
Keith: Help me…
Lance: O-okay, hold on . . . *picks him up* Do you want to go to my room for a bit? The hallway is cold . . .
Keith: *nods*
Lance: *smiles* Okay, let’s go. *turns to Thel* You can come along, if you want. *heads off toward the rooms*
Thel: Ah...O-Okay…*follows*
Lance: *enters his room and sets Keith across the bed* *pulls a blanket up over his body* Feeling a little better?
Keith: Cuddle me?
Lance: *surprised* *smiles big* Haha, so you wanna hold onto someone as great as me before you sleep, huh? I accept. *snuggles in next to Keith*
Thel: Um….I'm gonna go now...I...need to process all of this anyway...goodbye * leaves*
Lance: *forgot Thel was there* *blushes* B-Bye Thel!
Keith: *since Lance is out of his armor. He fiddles with his shirt*
Lance: *rubs his face against Keith’s hair, giggling* Today has been a good day . . . well, after the whole “Keith needs saving” bit. That was scary. But now it’s good!
Keith: *seems distracted*
Lance: What’s up?
Keith: ….sky
Lance: *snorts* Ha ha, I meant whatcha thinking about?
Keith: ...You
Lance: *blushes* R-really?
Keith: And me
Lance: What about us?
Keith: *gets closer to him*
Lance: *leans down*
Keith: *gives him a big cheesy smile* I like you
Lance: *nuzzles his nose to Keith’s* Well, that’s good, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to this *kisses his nose*
Keith: *giggles*
Lance: Or this *kisses his cheek*
Keith: Heh….Lance.
Lance: Hmm?
Keith: Don’t stop.
Lance: But can I do . . . this?! *kisses his lips*
Keith: !!
Lance: *pulls away laughing*
Keith: *looks down blushing furiously*
Lance: Alright *tangles his hand in Keith’s hair and gently plays with it* You should probably sleep. You’ve had a rough day.
Keith: *nods*
Lance: *breath starts to get heavier* *falls asleep holding Keith*
Keith: *just stares at Lance*
Lance: *softly snoring* *line of drool begins down his mouth and chin*
Keith: *smiles at this* My Lance
Lance: *snuggles closer in his sleep* Mmph
Keith: *goes to sleep*
This is a concept my friend and I have been developing for a while now.
I might to an official bio of him. But I dunno. You'll find out more about him soon.
See you next time!
