Lance stares at his clock, a pout prominent on his face. His stomach had been hurting all day and so, he’s been in bed all day.
It wasn’t fair. It just wasn’t fair.
Who was going to ogle Keith all day? Who was going to compliment him every minute? Who was going to pinch his bottom when no one was looking? Who was going to send him flirty looks from across the room? Who was going to make him blush as red as his lion?
Even worse, Keith hadn’t even come to see him today. Everyone else had come to check on him—Pidge figured out what was wrong with him, Shiro asked if he needed anything, Hunk made him soup, Allura and Coran were confused on what was wrong with him but still offered support—but there was no Keith.
As Lance finally started to doze off, which took forever thanks to his pain, his bedroom door slid open. His eyes popped open and he sat up straight, which kind of hurt, and squinted in the dark to see who it was. He couldn’t tell who it was until he saw skin as pale as the moon, making his heart flutter as he realized who it was.
He then realized his heart wasn’t allowed to do that right now. He huffs and lies back down, putting his back to him. What he didn’t expect was for Keith to lie behind him and cuddle into him, being the big spoon.
They didn’t say anything. Keith just silently held him and gently rubbed his stomach, giving Lance butterfly kisses on his smooth skin every once in a while. They lied there, listening to each other’s breaths slow before slowly drifting to sleep in each other’s arms.
