“I missed you.” Keith’s words break through the flow of thoughts in Lance’s mind--a sudden breath of fresh air unexpectedly batting Lance in the face.
The corners of Lance’s eyes crinkle. “Yeah?”
“Mm.” Keith’s finger circles the top of his glass, ice cubes clinking together. “It’s boring on my own.”
“Is that why you invited me here?” Lance arches an eyebrow; he has never seen the vampire quite so hesitant before. Never this vague.
“We keep letting too much time pass us by,” Keith begins with an explanation but leaves too much dead space between his thoughts that Lance has to fill in.
“I have a feeling this is more than a little reunion.”
(or a story about two immortals finding each other over and over again)
“You’re actually terrible,” Lance needs to comment on the obvious.
A glare is sent his way. “What point of ‘I do not know how to dance’ did not get through your thick head?”
“I thought you were being modest,” Lance replies honestly, “But you’re awful; this is fantastic.”
“I’m glad you’re amused.”
“You’re such a delight to be with,” Lance says, eyes wide, “And I mean that in the least sarcastic way possible.”
“You’re going to be the death of me,” Keith mutters with a short laugh.
Lance shakes his head with a grin. “You’re already dead, love.” He spins them around when the beat of the music calls for it, cutting off any response Keith may have.
Hold on, give me a second. I need to scream.
Alright, Christ, this fic is going to be the death of me. This is the trope “I’ll keep on coming back to you” except taken in a literal sense and it’s done beautifully. The way this fic is formatted, scenes and shots from over the years, wrapping up their present ‘timeline’ makes me so soft, my God—
