Chapter 44- Sad days.
A/N: Keith is depressed and Lance is there to try his best to cheer him and be there for him.
*Klance*
Keith knew right away that today was and ''off'' day when he first woke up. Even with his anti-depressants, Keith still had days where he just felt bad and it didn't matter if he took his medicine, he would still struggle here and there.
That's what a lot of people thought though, that once you were on your meds that everything would be great and that you should be happy. The anti-depressants that Keith were on helped him out from not being able to handle his worst days to getting a grasp on them and trying to push through them vs laying in bed, so numb that it hurt to badly that you just wanted to disappear.
--------------------------------------
Keith sat alone with his knees pulled up and a book rested against them when Lance suddenly brushed into the room.
"Hey! Keith my man, my-" yelled Lance but then froze when his ocean blue eyes landed upon his boyfriend. He watched as Keith glanced up at him for one second before his eyes laid back upon the book against his knees. Lance sighed as he slowly made his way over towards Keith.
Lance had become great a picking up on the signs of Keith and how he was. Ever since Keith sat the team down and told them about his major depression, everyone has been very helpful and supportive of him. Coran has made some medicine that where similar to the last few anti-depressants that Keith had left with him, Hunk would bake him something sweet and offer him big, warm hugs. Pidge would just silently sit beside him, or rest their head upon his lap and type on their computer. Just having someone there, someone to ground himself too without any words was very helpful towards him. Both Shiro and Allura would train with Keith when he was so he wasn't always by himself. Lance would cuddle with him, shower him in kisses and whisper to him how much he loves him and that is does matter.
Today, Lance could see that it wasn't one of Keith's worst days but one of his sad days where he felt hallowed out and alone. So Lance slid onto the end of the couch and watched Keith's shinning violet eyes dance across the pages with the small translator Pidge created over the page itself. He smiled at just how beautiful Keith was and he felt so happy to have him in his life, that it really hurt him when he just couldn't make Keith feel all better, couldn't take away all of his pain and just make him feel happy. So after sitting awhile in silence, Lance jumped off the couch and tapped Keith's knee before leaving. Keith just slowly raised his head as if it took all of his energy and focus to do so. Keith blinked up at Lance waiting for him to speak.
"I'll be right back babe" said Lance who blow him a kiss before rushing out of the room.
Keith watched as the metal doors slid closed behind Lance and then he glanced around the whole room. It was quite. It was empty.
He was all alone.
Keith pulled his knees closer towards his chest, letting the book fall to the ground with the movement. He didn't go to retrieve it, all he did was pull his knees closer towards himself, wrap his arms tightly around and hold himself as a huge wave of loneliness washed over him. He blinked his eyes quickly to try and push back the tears that he knew where treating to spill.
Keith had zoned out for awhile while Lance was gone. As soon as Lance returned, the doors slid close, causing Keith to slightly jump and look over at the noise. Lance sent him a big smile as he walked over towards him, a bowl in hand and the large fuzzy blanket Keith liked to curl up in at nights that weren't gentle to him. He tried to send him a thank you with a smile but sadly his smile couldn't grow like Lance's, his was small but to Lance it was better than nothing. Lance sat down beside Keith with a flop and quickly shrugged his jacket off before handing it to his boyfriend.
"I know how much you like it so..." Lance said holding it out for Keith who quickly took it and pulled it up to give it a quick sniff before pulling it on. It smelled so much like Lance that it made Keith feel warmer somehow.
Next, Lance tossed the fuzzy blanket over the both of them and shot his arm out and pulled Keith closer to him. He sat the bowl of food goo down between them and Keith sent Lance a confused look. Lance chuckled at that.
"When I was at home with mama and sad, my mama would always grab us some ice cream to dig into. I would at times do the same thing for my sister as well, when she was upset about a breakup or something stupid, I would go up to her room and share ice cream with her. Then we would later paint our nails and do each other's makeup and hair. So...anyways getting back on track. I asked Hunk to try and whip up something that tasted like ice cream, cause I wanted to try and cheer you up somewhat'' said Lance as he then held a spoon out to him.
Keith slowly took the spoon and took a small scoop of the food goo and took a small bite. Lance waited a moment before he started smiling.
"It taste just like vanilla ice cream, my mama's favorite'' Lance said with a sad smile. Keith bit his lip before holding the spoon out for Lance to try, which did seem to cheer him up slightly. After halfway through Keith laid his head upon Lance's shoulder, locked their hands together and said:
"Thank you.''
Lance smiled even bigger now and pulled Keith closer towards him, Keith was almost sitting in Lance's lap now.
"You're welcome cariño [sweetie] " said Lance and leaned over and gave Keith a kiss on the check, then forehead, nose and then finally his lips. " I love you'' whispered Lance as if it was a secret which for some reason always seemed to make Keith blush.
"I love you too" said Keith as he pulled their joined hands up and kissed Lance's knuckles. Keith laid his head back down and curled up onto Lance and slowly let his eyes closed with a small smile upon his face.
Some of Keith's sad days ended up being sad for the both of them but then their were sweet moments like these that started off as sad but ended on a good note, a very good note with the love of his life curled up against him, fast asleep with a smile on his face. Lance slowly ran his fingers through Keith's hair, and Keith leaned into the touch. Lance smiled and slowly pecked a tiny kiss on Keith's lips.
"You mean everything to me mi amor [my love], I love you so much'' whispered Lance as he sat the bowl down on the table before them and laid his head on top of Keith's. He wrapped his arms tighter around his boyfriend and allowed his eyes to fall shut with a smile on his face as well. He was filled with so much love right now and by the same smile on Keith's face, he could tell that he felt the very same way.
