Summary:
The airport is quiet at 4:30 in the morning. Lance's suitcase drags behind him and Keith squeezes his hand tight. This will be the first time they’ve been apart for more than a week. And right after Keith’s moved in. He shifts his weight from foot to foot, trying to clamp down on the emerging loneliness in his chest.
“Hey.” Lance steps into his space, taking his chin in his fingertips and lifting his gaze. “I won’t be gone long.”
Keith grips his wrist. “I know.”
