Keith, gesturing to his heart: I’ll keep all my emotions right here.

Keith: And then one day I’ll die.

Lance, tearing up: Bitch me too tf?

Kidge One Shot: Once this is all over

After the fall of Sendak, the paladins sought to regain strength and rest for the time being. As much as they disliked the idea of leaving too soon, they knew they had to leave earth before a new threat came to their beloved planet. Out of everyone though, Keith may have been the least pained by this, after all, there was nothing and no one tying him to his home planet. But it was diferent for the rest. Hunk and Lance would very much miss their families; and even if Matt would acompany Pidge, her parents would stay behind. Keith didn't want to leave aside his friends' feelings, but if they wanted to protect their families, the faster they left to find this new menace, the faster they could return as well.

Return.

The word left him circling for a moment. Would he return once it was all over? Would he stay with the Blades? With his mother? Or could he go back with his new found family with the Paladins? Keith's heart was torn between the two, not being able to chose one or the other, but knowing he had to. Taking a long sigh, he noticed someone approching him. His eyes rolled as he saw the young man that walked up to him.

"Hey mullet head."

"Hey Lance." Keith greeted his friend, returning the faint smile he had been gifted.

"What are you doing out here?" Lance asked. It wasn't odd for Keith to be out alone, he was known as the lone wolf after all, but lately it seemed like he was finally leaving part of that behind. These days it was rarer to see the Paladin by himself.

"Nothing really, just thinking."

"Shouldn't you leave the thinking to Pidge?" They both laughed, remembering a talk they had had before some time ago.

"I'm being serious here." Keith said as he gently punched the boy's shoulder as he got closer. "Truth is I don't know what will happen once all this is over."

"What do you mean you don't know? What happens is we finish up whoever is doing those horrible things to the Alteans and we come back home!- Oh." Lance brought himself to realization.

Keith nodded, knowing Lance now knew exactly what he meant.

"Geez buddy, sorry."

"That doesn't help much."

"Well, maybe by then you'll know what to do!" Lance said enthusiastically. "In all honestly Keith, we don't even know if we'll need Voltron when all this is over."

"That's true... But I need to make up my mind either way." Keith said, looking down at the grass at his feet. Lance looked at him with a concerned expression before breaking into a smile, throwing his arm over Keith's shoulder. "Hey!"

"You should totally stay with us." Lance said.

"What?" The boy in red asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Look, I didn't want to say anything because I hoped you would notice it yourself, but you're just too dense!"

"Lance, I have no quiznaking idea what you're talking about."

"Ok, ok. So hear me out. You don't know what to do because you just can't decide between us and your mom right?"

"...Technically, yes?" Keith said, taking a step back as Lance's arm moved away from him.

"Alright, now think. Out of all the Paladins, who would you miss the most?"

There was a long silence where neither said anything. Lance knew his friend had the answer right from the start, but he may not have wanted to say anything.

"Not you for sure." Keith grinned.

"Rude." Lance pouted. "But I know your answer." He grinned back, wider even.

"You do?"

"They're smart! Brave! And they can kick your quiznak." Lance turned to look at Keith's expression, who slowly grew redder. "It's so obvious Keith. Everyone knows you secretly absolutely adore each other!"

"... Secretly absolutely?"

"Ok, absolutely adore each other, you guys are just terrible at keeping it a secret."

Each other.

The words were slow to register in Keith's head. Adore each other. Had he heard correctly? Absolutely adore each other.

"Stop playing with me Lance." Keith finally said with spite, considering that Lance could just be after a good laugh. The name had never been said, for all Keith knew, Lance could be spouting things at random.

"I'm not Keith. I know what's going on with you because I'm in the same boat. You like Pidge and I like Allura." Keith was wide-eyed at what he was hearing.

Ok so Lance wasn't just spouting things.

"You're being awfully honest." Keith said with a voice that was much more serious than he intended.

"I just want to help." He said with a smile. "I'm sure I have far more experience when it comes to love than you do."

"I don't see that helping you though." Lance ignored the comment and continued.

"You have a chance, a good one, you just need to take it. Hunk and I are willing to help you two get closer."

"You got Hunk involved in this?"

"He got himself involved. Keith seriously, we all just want you and Pidge to be happy." Lance made a pause, looking into the sky, as if expecting to see stars in broad daylight. "If you could... Talk with her. If you two became more than teammates, more than friends, I think that could help you decide what you want to do once all this is over."

Silence claimed the air about them. While Lance closed his eyes to feel the breeze run past him, Keith was taking his time, thinking of those last words. Maybe it would help.

To come back with his friends, to come back with her by his side. His mom would understand, heck, she would be happy for him; he had after all, talked to her about how Pidge was special for him in a way he couldn't explain. Krolia had given him a knowing smile back then, but refused to tell him what his feelings meant. "You'll know in due time." She had said.

If something between him and Pidge came to be, he wouldn't think twice about where he wanted to be. He needed his place to be beside her, there was nothing more to even consider, to ponder on, it was clear what he had to do.

"Got any plans?" Keith finally said, a faint blush on his cheeks. Never had he been so embarrassed before.

Lance looked at him in confusion before beaming with a wide smile, bringing his fists up to his chest in excitement.

"Ooooh this is going to be so much fun!" He threw his arm over Keith's shoulders once more, pulling him along.

"I'm having second thoughts now."

"Don't you worry your little head. Dr. Love and his assitant have you covered!"

"Please tell me you're the assitant." But Keith's comment was ignored yet again as Lance went on.

Having a hard time following what Lance was saying, his mind trailed off into a dream he didn't know he could dream. Before Lance reached him earlier, he couldn't even name what he felt for Pidge, and now all he could think about was her. Her honey eyes, her breathtaking smile, her undying loyalty and friendship, how he had unknowingly sought to stand next to her. Many things made sense now. It made sense to say that he loved Katie Holt.

Now more than ever, he wanted to come back, or follow her into the depths of the universe if she asked him to. Now more than ever, he knew what he would do once this was all over.

"What the hell was that?"

The room fell to dead silence and everyone turned to look at Matt as he stormed into the room. His gaze was focused solely on Keith, whose smile wilted the second he saw the look of utter terror on Matt's face.

"What was what?" Lance asked in confusion, glancing around Keith's shoulder at the older Holt.

Matt kept his gaze on Keith, hands planted on his hips. The creased brows made him look pissed off, but the way his chin trembled betrayed his real feelings. "You didn't tell them, did you?"

"Matt, I-"

"Tell us what?" Pidge asked in confusion, looking between her brother and Keith.

Matt kept his eyes locked on the former red paladin and stepped closer, his arms falling to his sides. "You were going to kill yourself."

A pin dropped. Everyone slowly turned to look at Keith, eyes wide, and Keith swallowed and ducked his head.

Hunk spoke first, voice soft and shaking. "What is he talking about?"

"Tell them."

Keith lifted his eyes, gaze drifting over his team. He licked his lips and shrugged, spreading his hands. "I...if Lotor hadn't shown up...I was going to use my ship to break up the shield."

Silence permeated the room for a long moment while everyone processed the information. Pidge frowned, her brows crinkling. The drink in her hand shuddered. "The force from that impact would have essentially burned you alive," she murmured. Her eyes had become glassy.

Keith snuck a look at the rest of the team, and then wished he hadn't. Hunk's cheeks were streaked with tears, his hands pressed to his mouth. Allura was in a similar position, Coran wringing his hands in front of him. Shiro just looked stunned, and Lance-

"Dude what the fuck?" he snapped, his voice cracking. "Why would you...? I mean how could you think...?"

He trailed off, searching Keith with a long look, and something softened in his shoulders.

Lance reached a hand out and grabbed him by the elbow, careful and tentative. Keith let it happen, let his arms encircle his upper back, returned the hug with one of his own.

"Thanks, man," Lance murmured into his ear as the rest of the paladins swarmed in, a parallel of their first group hug. "But don't. We need you here."

Keith's arms tightened and he glanced up and over Lance's shoulder through teary eyes to find Matt watching them. His stance had relaxed a bit, his arms now crossed and a satisfied, if sad, smile on his face. He met Keith's gaze and nodded ever so slightly in his direction, the implication clear: do it again, and he'd personally slap him.

Keith tucked his nose back into Lance's shoulder, content to stay curled in his team's arms for as long as he could.
