Fluff brought to you by jermey shadas amazing voice. This is the first time I've ever heard him sing and oh....yes.

Lance pov

The room looks amazing, the lights glisten in the darker atmosphere, the color purple making calm setting, a grand dance floor with aliens of all types swaying to the band that plays.

"Now everyone remember to dance at least once, we wouldn't want to seem rude"allura says.

"No need to tell me twice, i never miss an opportunity to dance."I say, the smile on my face becoming realer then it has been in weaks. I hear some groans, I wasn't trying to hit on allura but I guess it came off that way.

"And let me guess, your gonna try to find the perfect girl to dance with"pidge says with a laugh.

"Um...perfect yes, girl?.....no."I say and look down at the rose in my hand, the music flowing through the room boosting up my confidence. Everyone seems shocked but then allura reminds them they need find a dance partner.

I look at the only person I wanted to dance with, he has his arms crossed, not even attempting to find a partner to dance with. The suit he was forced into fits him perfectly and shows off the body I was so graced to see when swimming once.

I grip the rose harder and walk up to him.

"You want to dance?"I ask, my voice shaking nervously, his mind must be somewhere else because he keeps staring into the distance.

"Hey! do you hear me, I'm talking to you."I say louder my voice holding annoyance in it and I tap his shoulder, he turns to me a confused look on his perfectly shaped features.

"What?"he asks, now paying attention to me.I grip the rose tighter and hold it out to him, the thorns poking into my hand seeming to be the only thing keeping me grounded.

"Keith, the definition of perfect, the most talented paladin of voltron, the hottest boy in the universe, my crush....will you dance with me?"I ask, he looks at the rose then at me.

"Are you joking?"he asks with slight hesitance, I shake my head no. As soon as I do the motion he smiles.

"Yeah, id love to dance with you"he says, his smile being small, but adorable. He looks at the rose then at me. I grab his hand and pull him closer to me. I place the rose in his hair a faint red paints his cheeks.

I pull him to the dance floor slight hesitance in his movements.

"Wait lance, I-I can't dance"he says sounding embarrassed. I laugh at his reddened face.

"Just follow my lead."I say, pulling his body closer to mind, music floods the air and soaks into my bones. I sway with Keith to the slower music every now and then spinning him around. Each time I spin him he comes back into my arms with an even wider smile.

"Look at that your a natural"I say, my voice lowered. Our body's close together continueing to sway to the music pulling apart and coming back. I get to look into his brown eyes that shine from the lights and hair that is messily placed around his face it being messed up from when I twirled him. A light hearted smile on his face that I adore.

"I'm lucky I ended up liking my best friend"Keith mumbles to me as we sway.

"You make it easier when life gets hard"he continues, a crooked grin placed on his face.

"You don't know how long I've liked you, since...way back in the garrison."I say and he laughs.

"Took you sometime to admit it to me"he teases and I twirl him again.

"Yeah well I was...scared, of rejection"I admit my face heating up with embarrassment. I hear the end coming to a slow stop and dip him down.

Our faces inches apart, he looks up at me with those big eyes and I can't help myself anymore.

My face leans farther down and I place a kiss on his lips. The fire roars through my body burning my insides and face. The tingling feeling in my chest and lips. My chest seems to restrict itself and breathing feels like it would be the most difficult task, but I was wrong. The most difficult task was pulling out of the kiss.

Time skip

Keith's pov

I smile at the fond memory and look down at lance. A red rose now in my hand.

"Lucky I'm in love with my best friend"I whisper and sit in front of lance.

"Lucky to be coming home again"I whisper and grip the other object in my possession.

"They don't know how long it takes waiting for love like this"I whisper, closing my eyes. We were together for so long. I had a ring for him and everything.

"When I had to say good bye...I wish I had time to give you one more kiss."I whisper my voice not being strong enough to get louder. A tear falling down my face.

"I wait for you I promised you I would"I whisper, tears now falling faster from my eyes.

"I tried so hard to wait for you..."I whisper again.

"I just couldn't keep waiting"i wipe a tear from my face and look at the other object in my hand, lances bayard.

"Lucky we were...are in love in every way"I whisper, we were so happy, he made life easier when it got hard...but then he left...

I look down at the stone with lances name carved in it.I place the rose on the stone and wipe a year away.

People say home isn't a place...it's the people in it. Well if that's the case then I guess I'm going home. Lances bayard takes shape of a small hand gun and I place it to my skull...

I'm coming home...
