[for

[It's... it's been a while. That's really the only thought Keith can safely consider as the mission begins. The Blade and Voltron collaborate, of course, but they've been running in different parts of the galaxy, trying to maximize what resources they have. So it's been quite a while since he's seen the others, since he's been back to the Castle or even closer than a brief video call across the lightyears.
He's had a lot of time to think, really, a lot of time to himself to ruminate on thoughts that he tries his very best to bat away. Thoughts that are wrapped up in emotions and feelings that Keith doesn't really know how to untangle at all. Not surprising. It's never really been his strong suit. As intense as his emotions can be, as volatile, they tend to get the better of him rather than he of them. It's the same old story.
And maybe that's why, he realizes, he always reacted so strongly to Lance. It was too much, too complicated, to try to unravel the varying feelings the other boy drew out in him -- exasperation and confusion, sure, but something warmer and softer, in those rare and precious moments when they were drowning in their own manufactured tension. After some time apart he's finally realized where that tension comes from, on his side.
Which makes things way too complicated. Because how the hell is he supposed to deal with having feelings for Lance, falling for Lance, when Lance... well. When he's watched Lance literally flirt his way through the universe girl by girl. But here's Keith and his stupid traitor heart feeling this way anyway.
He's torn, therefore, when it's him and Lance sent off in the Red Lion on this particular joint mission. Part of him has missed the other so much it's a relief to see him again. Part of him is so twisted up that he doesn't know which way to go. So he focuses on the mission. He's quieter than usual, even. Focus. Keep to their orders, keep to what needs to be done. It's fine.
Until the whole thing goes south. They spring an old and unexpected trap -- a mine that emitted some sort of pulse that knocked most of Red's systems straight out. The landing hadn't been pretty, but Lance had managed to set it down in a way that didn't kill them at least. The planet, the outpost, is supposed to be abandoned, at least. Less good is how chilly is it, and with Red disabled, well, it's getting chillier and chillier. At least they've got the beacon working. Eventually help will come, but it could be a while. And in the meantime... they're alone.
Together.
Keith has gone for silence, because he doesn't know where to begin.]

Keith has gone for silence, because he doesn't know where to begin.]

[That has to be one of the more exciting things that Keith has ever heard don't mind him trying to play it off like it's no big deal at all.
He moves to rise off his knees at this point, deciding he may as well just invite himself into Lance's lap because that makes it easier to wrap his arms around his neck, lean close and nuzzle at his cheek, trying to ignore his own aching arousal for the moment.]
no subject
[He kisses him gently before reaching down, brushing his hand against Keith's erection.]
Now, how to take care of this...
no subject
[Well. Color Keith pleased about this revelation. He starts to smile even as he leans in to meet Lance's lips with his own, gentle and brief as the kiss is. It's not enough and Keith is ready to fuss to be kissed more when Lance goes and touches him and instead he's whimpering before he can contain it.
His arousal throbs at even that small touch, and Keith drops his head, leaning into murmur right to Lance's ear.] Please?
no subject
[He hums, trailing his finger up the underside from base to tip.]
no subject
[He hisses out, hips twitching towards that touch, voice breaking in a soft groan.]
Don't tease. Just... touch me. However you do it. I just need you.
no subject
[He thumbs over the head as he continues to think.]
no subject
[Keith is perilously close to taking his problem into his own hands at this point. Lance is killing him here, and he has no idea what he's even brainstorming about when he's already proposed a couple fantastic solutions.]
no subject
[Blink. Blink.]
no subject
[Well. Then. But Keith frowns.]
But... how much space we have isn't really the issue. I could fuck you in this chair just fine if we're talking about space. But we aren't exactly prepared otherwise. You know?
[Like. At all. Keith drapes his arms around Lance's shoulder and leans in.] First time I'm inside you, we're going to do it right.
no subject
[He kisses along Keith's jaw.]
I'll wait, if you'd like. How do you want me to take care of you?
no subject
[Sorry. Hold the kissing. This line of questioning is more important here.]
no subject
[The look on Lance's face is nothing short of sheepish.]
Sometimes I get... bored when there are missions where I just have to stay in place waiting for who knows long, or there's a long trip I have to make and I can just put it on auto-pilot...
no subject
[This is Keith looking scandalized here. Except actually he's kind of smiling. That is a much better answer than I entertain company in the spaceship often or something like that. Not that Keith is the jealous type. ...maybe just a little. Is all.]
So... not because you've, you know... with other people here?
[He's not just next in line, right?? ...Keith has his own insecurities]
no subject
[He covers his face, feeling his cheeks heat up.]
I'd never bring just anyone into this sacred space to bang! You're the only exception.
no subject
[That umm. That makes Keith feel... weirdly warm. And fluttery. And it also has him leaning in to press a kiss through Lance's hair since those hands are in the way of kissing his cute face.]
You're my first too. It's... [Ugh god he's bad at this why does he keep trying to talk he should stop it's not his best skill by far...] ...special.
[Someone please kill him right here right now.]
no subject
That little confession makes him smile, knowing that he's exploring this blindly with Keith too.]
So, I mean. I have stuff, and some blankets in the emergency caught-in-extreme-weather box...
no subject
But he's used to trusting instinct anyway, so why not go with that here too. He looks at Lance, considering before nodding, glancing away almost shyly. He's not shy! But this is definitely new okay?]
Yeah. All right.
no subject
When he reaches into the "glovebox" and emergency crates, he miiiight be sticking his ass out a little more than absolutely needed.]
Alrighty... Yeah, these'll definitely do the trick.
no subject
[It's not a bad view, so Keith certainly appreciates it, Lance. Thank you.
He's not exactly nervous, but there is a sort of fluttery anticipation that's twisting around in his stomach at the moment, and he moves to stand.]
Blankets are back here? [He'll... he'll go get those.]
no subject
Yep. Just toss em down, make them look all nice and comfy. I don't need anything fancy, just as long as my bare ass isn't being banged on cold steel. Or whatever magical metal these girls are made out of it.
[He grabs a small, half empty bottle, stretching and walking back over.]
no subject
[Keith deadpans at him, but that's just to hide the continued swarm of butterflies currently doing combat aerial maneuvers in his stomach. He finds the blankets and makes fairly short work of getting them spread out.
Comfy, ish. Anyway.
Sometime they'll have to do this right. In a bed. Soft lighting. Maybe some music? Who knows. Not Keith. But he reaches a hand out towards Lance as he approaches. Beckoning.]
no subject
[He pads over, dropping the bottle onto the blankets before taking Keith's hand and moving in to give him a solid kiss. Not too hard, not desperate, but still deep. This may not be the ideal first time place, but it doesn't mean he can't at least try to put across how terribly deeply he feels for the other boy and make it romantic in that sense.]
no subject
[He does blush though, and will be ducking his head to hide the fact that he's doing exactly that right now. Shut up. It's not his fault. Lance is pretty charming okay?? He can admit it.
Also Keith might like the pet name thing more than he will ever admit.
But luckily he does't have to do much thinking because there's Lance and now they're kissing, and that's wonderfully distracting, thank you. Something in Keith eases, and he steps in closer, wrapping an arm around Lance's waist, hand settling at the small of his back.]
no subject
[He keeps up the kiss for a good while, taking his time in tasting Keith even with the faint lingering of his own release in his mouth. Stuck as they are right now, he's just treating it like they have all the time in the world. Before long, he's pulling Keith down to the blankets at their feet, seating himself down next to him.]
I'm all yours, gorgeous. Whatever you want...you've got it.
no subject
But Keith lets himself be pulled, scooting closer even as he is.]
All mine, huh?
[Yeah, okay. Keith likes that. A lot.]
