"Mom." Keith called up from his lion, he had Lance's jacket on when he called her. "I heard the news!"

"Aww thank you Keith. It will be a big responsibility, but I'm sure Kolivard and I can handle it." She said. "What are you wearing?"

Keith blushed. "Nothing..." he tried to pretend like this was a normal get up for him.

"Is that Lance's jacket?" Krolia questioned.

"Mom!" Keith looked to the side.

"Are you guys dating?"

"No."

"Did you kiss?"

"No!"

"Did you guys have—"

"NO!!" Keith interrupted that one. "Mom, nothing happened, it was just snowing so he gave me a jacket so I don't die from the frost."

"Aww." She smiled. "Your blushing."

"I know..." Kieth sighed. "Can we just talk business?"

"Why would I want to talk business? This is so much more interesting." Krolia said.

"She is right!" Kolivard was apparently in the background, he stuck his head inframe. "Hey Keith. So when is the wedding?"

Keith blushed deeply. "Seriously?" He rolled his eyes. "Now I'm defiantly not bringing you two back to earth ever."

"Aww come on, we are just teasing you." Krolia said. "But I do want to meet this boy again."

"Not happening." Keith said. "I'm almost back to the base, how is Cosmo?"

"He missed you." Krolia said.

"Well tell him I'll be back shortly." Keith smiled. "Okay, got to land. Just wanted to congratulate you."

"Love you Keith." Krolia said

"Love you too mom."

That night after a long dinner with all the blades who worked alongside Keith, he went off to bed. He hadn't slept in a long time. Well he didn't get a lot of sleep with all the traveling he did, and having to make a trip back to earth was exhausting.

He collapsed on the bed, pulling out his phone from his backpack he set it on the charging pad before taking off his shoes and letting down his hair, which had grown quite long now.

He ran his fingers through his hair to brush it out before laying on the bed, he kicked off his shoes and grabbed one last thing, the jacket Lance had given him. He closed his eyes and held it close to his chest, he could smell Lance all over it. He decided he would keep this for as long as he could... or at least till it stoped smelling like Lance.

Why couldn't he stop pretending? Why did he keep going through this, lying to himself. Lance didn't care for him like Keith cared for him. But he could never get Lance off his mind.

"I got some sparking cider." James held up a bottle. "It's a good flavor too."

"Wow, such a fancy date." Pidge said as they walked from the car to an open field.

"Yeah I thought it was a bit low, so that's why I rented a hot air balloon." James told her.

"A What!" Pidge was shocked. She looked out into the field and there was indeed a hot air balloon being set up.

"You heard me. Haven't you always wanted to fly in one. The science behind it all is quite astounding." James said.

"Yeah, I remember learning about it in my physics class." Pidge said. "Wow James, this is a lot."

"Nothing is ever too much for a cute girl like you." James smiled and held out his hand to her. "Come on let's get going."

Pidge accepted his hand and walked with him out to the field, the balloon was almost ready for take off.

"I can't believe you just rented a hot air balloon." Pidge said as they got inside the basket, she looked up at all the tech above her, amazed at how it all worked.

"I knew you would like it." James smiles. "And better yet, we get to see the sunrise."

"Wow.... I can't wait." Pidge smiled.

Soon they took off in the balloon. Pidge stared down below at the fading earth, soon they were closer to the clouds.

"Look..." James whispered to her and pointed ahead where the sun was just starting to rise.

Pidge smiles as she watched the beauty of it, it was so clear and the colors were so lovely. She felt James put his arms around her waist and hug her from behind, setting his chin on her shoulder. "So beautiful..." he whispered.

"Yeah it really is." Pidge smiled, blushing softly, she didn't know that James wasn't talking about the sunset.

James turned her around in his arms and looked down at her. Pidge's eyes darted up to him, she felt his large hand on her cheek. Then, Next thing she knew his lips were on her as the sun cane up over the horizon.
