8. things you said while you were crying
hoooooooooooooh boy
Tears leaked down Keith’s cheeks, tickling his chin and nose and lips.
“It’s not fair!” Lance shouted at him, from across the room. Their suits were still on, helmets flung into a corner. Keith struggled to hold his ground as Lance shouted, “It’s not fUCKING FAIR, GODAMMIT!”
“I- he was trying to protect you.” Keith said weakly, reaching out with one hand. Lance ignored it, going in favor for throwing a small device one of them had left on their bedside table.
“That makes it so much worse.” Lance hissed, pounding his fist against his head. Keith took a few steps forward, tears still leaking onto his skin. Lance was trying to hold back his sobs, obviously, and it wasn’t working very well.
“Lance….” Keith touched his arm and the floodgates broke, both of them clinging onto each other and sinking to the floor.
“H-he had to go and….I was fine, Shiro didn’t…..he’s fucking…I’m so sorry Keith I’m so sorry.….I was such an idiot I shouldn’t, I shouldn’t be here, I should be dead! I should be on some Galra ship and dead, because then I can’t FUCK UP!” Lance’s voice was laced with anger, and Keith pulled back.
“Lance.” He forced the other crying boy to look at him with a hand on his cheek and chin, “Please don’t say that. Y-” His voice broke, “-you don’t deserve to be dead, it wasn’t your fault, Shiro knew what he was doing, ok? He knew, and he wasn’t changing his mind, so please, please don’t say that you want to be dead and please don’t say that all you do is fuck up.” He curled into Lance’s chest and kissed his chin, tasting salt.
“Because you don’t, and I love you, and we’re going to get him back and it will be ok.”
Lance cried harder and they sat there for a while longer, Keith’s words hanging in the air.
