Glow-in-the-dark Stars

Word count: 455

Early tags: Shatt, fluff (?)

Prompt: Late Night (confessions)

For Shatt week Day 3!

The glow-in-the-dark stars shone above the two, their dim light faded from age yet still shining through the darkness. The two laid on the floor in sleeping bags, one awake and staring above while the other’s state was unknown. “Pssst, Shiro. You awake?” Matt whispered. There was a small shuffle from where Shiro was, presuming his quiet way of telling Matt he was awake. There was a stifled yawn, yup, Shiro was definitely awake now. “What is it this time, Matt?” Matt smiled at the ceiling, still staring at the constellations that the stars formed. It was so quiet that they could hear each other breathing. “Do you wanna play twenty-one questions?” Matt asked. Shiro furrowed his brows. “That’ll take awhile, Matt. It’s almost three a.m. Do you really want to play?” he asked Matt. Matt nodded. Shiro sighed, covering up a yawn.“What if we do like one question then? Would that be okay?” Shiro prompted. Matt nodded where he was. “Okay, you go first.” “Why are you awake?” Shiro asked instantly with a deadpan voice. Matt scoffed. “Because I’m an adult and I can make life choices,” he said proudly. Shiro groaned but afterwards laughed quietly. Matt stayed silent. “Are you going to ask a question?” Shiro asked him after what felt like minutes past. “I just wanted to know…” Matt trailed, taking a small peak at where Shiro laid to see if he was still paying attention. He was. “What would you do if someone you were close to said they liked you?” Shiro raised a brow. “What?” Shiro asked, stifling another yawn. Matt chuckled quietly to himself, instantly regretting asking. “What would you do if someone you were close to said they liked you? As in romantically?” Matt added with a small tone of fear in his voice. Shiro was quiet, trying to think of an answer. He hummed. “Well, I guess it would matter on who said it? Why?…” Shiro asked Matt, a tone of suspicion seeping into his voice. “Hmm…” Matt said before going quiet. He was in deep thought, weighing out the odds. Shiro sighed and rustled in his sleeping bag once again, pulling the fabric over his head. “Try to get some sleep okay? Goodnight.” Matt instantly heard quiet snores seconds afterwards. A few minutes had passed and Matt figured Shiro was in deep sleep already. “I love you, Shiro,” he said quietly to no one. Matt moved around in his sleeping bag trying to get warm then tried his best to fall asleep. Shiro sighed to himself, shaking his head as much as he could in his position. “I love you too, Matt.” He made a quiet promise to himself to tell Matt later in the morning.

Sacrifice

Word count: 566

Early tags: Klance, Klangst, slight Langst, angst, already established Klance

For Klance Week 2017, day two!

Keith walked around in circles, pacing. “There has to be a better way,” he muttered to himself, shaking his head ever so often. They both knew it was a bad idea, a very bad one.

Lance put his head in his hand, rubbing his forehead with his palms. “Look, we’d already decided I would go. Allura can take over the blue lion and then some day maybe we’ll run into each other,” Lance told him, a sad smile on his face.

The plan was terrible but it was all they’d got. One of them were going to be captive by purpose and try to destroy the galra from the inside. They weren’t able to tear it down from the outside so they had to do it from the outside. Lance was the first to volunteer for the mission, he had insisted on it though even after the entire team told him not to.

Keith slammed his hand against the wall. “No! You’ll die and do you know how long it took until I saw Shiro again?! A year! A year and who knows what will happen to you! I can’t lose you too. I can’t.” Keith kept his head down, not wanting to look at Lance. The team let them talk this out, knowing that the two might have some problems to work out with this plan and hoped that they would eventually find a different way, one that wouldn’t involve losing their friend.

A sigh escaped Lance’s lips. “Keith, I’m going on that ship. We’ll meet again. I promise. How can I leave you behind?” Lance watched Keith, knowing what he was going to say next.

“But what if you die?… I’ll never know and I’ll be here waiting for someone who isn’t even alive anymore…” His voice cracked as he said those words. Lance instantly got up and went to comfort him.

Keith buried his face in Lance’s shoulder, wrapping his arms behind his back. “Then that would be my fate.” Another sigh escaped from Lance. “Mi amor, I would always return to your arms. Only for you would I come back.” Lance rubbed the back of Keith’s head, tangling his fingers in it as Keith found comfort in him. “It’ll only be for a while. Everything will be fine, okay?”

“Please don’t forget me. Please don’t forget us…” Keith told him. Lance nodded.

“I’ll never forget you guys.”

The cell door swung open, a familiar figure with brown hair matted with dirt, sweat, and blood stuck out. Keith was the first to recognize them. He ran over to where they were. “Lance?” he said, worry filled his voice. He brought his face up, searching and hoping this wasn’t a dream. Lance had gotten thinner than before, his face sunken in.

He opened his eyes, the bright blue they once were, were now faded to a stark blue. “Keith?…” he said weakly, his eyes brightened as he recognized Keith. He managed a small smile at him. Keith’s eyes filled with tears as he dove to embrace Lance, a sob escaping him.

“I told you I wouldn’t forget you,” Lance said, putting a weak hand on Keith’s back and rubbing circles. The team left to give them their moment, they knew how long Keith had been waiting for this moment. Keith was overjoyed to see the one he loved alive. Alive and in his arms.

Moondust

Word count: 502

Early tags: Shatt, minor angst (?), pre-galra

Prompt used: Angst

Inspiration: Moondust by Jaymes Young

For Shatt week Day 2!

A few more days until the mission to Kerberos would officially be launched. There was a lot of reviewing to be done with his teammates, Takashi Shirogane and his father, Samuel Holt. A lot had been done in the last few days to prepare for this mission but plans were always changed and so they worked long hours to over look everything. During this time, Matt had gotten a not-so-small crush on his teammate and also long-time best friend. They knew each other well, them being classmates and graduating together. It was nice being near him, but with every day - every second, Matt had with this crush, it made his heart ache. He wanted to tell Shiro, on some days, he would decide to tell him just to end the ache, but if he’d get rejected, it could deeply affect the mission they were going on. They would be stuck in space for months without any area to run, they would have to cooperate with knowing that the other has romantic feelings for the other. It would ruin their friendship completely. So Matt kept his feelings in, he let it slowly pain his heart during the mission. Soon, his chest felt empty and all he felt was numb. He couldn't cry because the walls of the shuttle were thin and someone would hear him, his eyes didn't even produce tears anymore even if he tried. The shuttle landed on the icy moon. Matt dragged the equipment out of the ship and with the guidance of his father - who was also carrying equipment, - he placed them on the icy ground and started to set up the equipment while Shiro helped bring out the heavier items. He looked up at Shiro who was looking at him curiously with a worried expression on his face. Shiro set the equipment he had in his hands down near each other. “Something wrong, Matt?” he asked. Matt felt like he could burst into tears at any given moment. Matt shook his head. “No,” he replied, not wanting to talk and try to focus his mind on setting up the equipment. "Are you sure? You've been acting distant for awhile...” he asked him. For some reason, Matt found that question aggravating but tried hide it. Shiro didn't notice. “I'm fine, Shiro. Believe me,” Matt said, looking up at Shiro with the best smile he could do. Shiro stared at him worriedly, not wanting to press on. He left Matt alone to set up the equipment, going to check on some things inside the ship, saying he wouldn't talk long. His father was naming off equipment items near Matt, making sure all the items were there. The two had finished setting up the equipment just after Shiro went out, checking up on the two and saying that everything is setup on the inside. Matt sighed to himself quietly, if he had to push down his feelings, now would be the best time. He had to bury his love in moondust.
