NIGHTMARES by Trashness | 1/1 chapters
RATING && TAGS: Teen and Up Audiences // canon universe + pining!lance + pining!keith + oblivious + lowkey slowburn + same bed trope + fluff
SUMMARY
Lance's nightmares are getting out of control. It's effecting his and the team's performance, but he's at a loss for how to fix this.
Apparently sleeping next to a warm body helps.
EXCERPT
Keith is many things. Impulsive, impatient, skeptical, socially inept… he’s been described as all of these things, and to be honest, he doesn’t disagree with them.
But he’s never been called selfish.
But he is. Keith is becoming incredibly selfish.
He’s selfish in how he hoards all of Lance’s touches throughout the night. He sometimes lays there, just watching Lance sleep, committing to memory the way his mouth angles itself when it’s slack and how his eyebrows sometimes crinkle when he’s dreaming.
Keith will sometimes prop himself up on his elbow during the few lucky mornings he wakes up before Lance, and watch his chest rise and fall in an easy rhythm. He reaches out, guiltily, and runs his fingers through his short hair. He brushes the strands out of his face and relishes how Lance seems to lean into his touch.
MY COMMENTS
I just reread this fic and now I remember why I adore this fic with my whole heart please. The way they’re both pining for each other and yet they don’t realize the other is pining for them too and they’re both disasters. This has got to be the best usage of the same bed trope; everything is so delicate and gentle, careful in hopes of not hurting the other and I love it so much. This fic is definitely a personal favorite.
