{ Fluff, UWU, and slight NSFW ahead!

Sorry for taking ten days, Loves. I've been in this horrible depressive episode for a couple weeks. Some days I barely have energy to roll out of bed. But I think I'm on the back end of it! I love you all and thank you for being patient!

-Soki <3 :). }

It was a very private and fancy venue tucked away in the mountains. Shiro had always wanted to get married in Japan, so that was where they went. Everyone had flown there on the previous day and gotten settled into the hotel, which had a hot spring as well. To ensure the privacy of the event, Shiro booked out the entire hotel for the week, and had paid enough where there wouldn't have to be patrons anywhere on site.

" She did surprisingly well on the flight... I was expecting her to cry much more..." Matt laughed to himself gently, holding Chanel as he sat on the luxury bed in he and Shiro's suite. It had been about two months since he'd had her, so he was finally moving around like a normal human again instead of waddling.

" Yeah. I wonder how Shimmer did... I didn't hear her, but still..." Shiro replied, pulling a shirt out from his wardrobe. Shimmer was the name Allura had given to her daughter before Lotor and Romelle came to care for her. She had been born shortly after Chanel, and Lotor figured it was only fair to let Allura pick the name. She was definitely his baby, but still... Allura was the mother. He at least gave her the naming rights.

" She was fine. Romelle told me about it." Matt said. " Anyways... are you almost ready? We can't be late for our own rehearsal dinner..."

" Yes, but don't rush me. I want to look great for everyone..."

It was winter in Japan, which made for beautiful scenery, but he also didn't want to be chilly. He was in the middle of picking out a jacket to go with his shirt when they both heard a thud, then glanced toward the wall.

" Um... didn't you say Lance and Keith had the room next to ours?" Matt asked, standing up and holding Chanel in his arms. She was just about sleeping by then.

" Yeah. My security team is standing outside in the hall, so there's no way anything would be wrong..." Shiro said, but he was still suspicious. He headed over to the door, then poked his head out into the hall. His guards were still there, standing watch at the end of every place the halls intersected.

Yet... he second guessed himself. After having his brother get kidnapped, it wasn't the easiest for him to brush things like that off, even as tiny as they were.

" Hey, is everything alright in there?" He knocked on their door.

There were muffled sounds of something, and Shiro pressed his ear against the door.

Once he realized what was going on, he blushed and pulled away as fast as he could, then scampered back to their room. Oh hell no... that was not something he ever wanted to hear. EVER. That was his brother.

" I need to bleach my ears..." He murmured.

Meanwhile, Keith and Lance were having a grand old time.

" L-Lance... not where they can see... hnn..."

" Oh come on, KitKat... they already see our bonding mark all the time~" Lance purred and kept pressing kisses all over the sensitive part of Keith's neck, making him shiver. He leaned back against the wall and clutched the back of Lance's dress shirt.

The hickeys were starting to pile up, and Keith hoped that they would just barely be hidden beneath the collar of his shirt. He moved his hands into Lance's hair and the alpha pulled back, looking at his masterpiece. By then, he had undone the buttons on the front of Keith's shirt and littered his chest with love marks.

But really... what could Keith expect? He'd been teasing him all day.

" We really should get going... I don't want Shiro to think we're..." The omega trailed off, then bit his lip. Lance stared at him lovingly and rubbed Keith's hips. Ever since they'd bonded, he had never been more content.

" We're what?" Lance asked with a slight smirk. " It's not like we were doing anything naughty... yet..."

" Stop making me flustered..." Keith whined and blushed heavily, buttoning his shirt back up. His heart was beating a little faster than normal after having Lance's hands on him, but he adored the feeling more than anything else in the world. Maybe after the dinner, they could have some real fun.

" Nope, sorry, can't do that." Lance kissed the top of Keith's head and continued to embrace him. " You're stuck with me, too..."

After he fixed his shirt, Keith ran his hands up Lance's chest and smiled up at him.

" I love you... maybe if I'm still making you crazy, we can pay a visit to those hot springs later?" He asked, and Lance nearly jumped for joy when he heard that. He had to play it cool, though, so he awkwardly cleared his throat as his cheeks turned red.

" I mean... I'll always be crazy about you..." He flirted back and hugged Keith closer to himself.

" That's what I thought..."

There were a few loud knocks placed on the door.

" Guys! Hurry up! We have to get going or we'll miss the food!" Pidge shouted from the outside. She was one of the few inner circle people who got to be at the wedding. It was very VIP, only having about 30 invites in total.

" Yeah!" Hunk whined.

" C-Coming!" Lance exclaimed and backed up from Keith. Thank god they'd been ready beforehand, but still, things didn't look good for them. His hair was all ruffled and his face was flushed, and don't even get him started on Keith. The omega was disheveled and looked like he'd gotten ready for a dinner party, then taken a nap and ridden some dick afterward. It wasn't a good situation. 

" Woah, what happened to you?" Pidge asked as the couple stepped into the hall.

" What do you mean?" Keith asked, awkwardly chuckling.

Hunk clung onto Shay, mortified. He wasn't even surprised by those two anymore, or at least, he shouldn't have been.

" Gross..."

Lance snorted and pulled Keith against his side as they all walked.

" Let's just get to the restaurant."

The dinner was set up where they would have appetizers, then step onto the rooftop where the ceremony would be held. After they got done practicing, then the real meal would be served.

" I still can't believe they're finally getting married... it seems like they've been engaged forever." Pidge said as they stepped in the elevator. Maybe she was just crazy or bad with time, but it had felt like years.

" Yeah, it has been a while for sure." Shay replied.

For Keith, the past months had felt like many years. Every minute he spent with Lance was one that he paid extra attention to, so of course it felt like it took longer. But if that was the way the rest of his life would go... he had no complaints. It would be perfect.

" Hey, you made it." Matt said as everyone else arrived. He came over and hugged his sister, and Hunk wanted one, too, obviously. He then smiled at everyone else.

" Where's Chanel?" Shay asked, looking around.

" Krolia has her. I think her and Camila have been taking turns for the past twenty minutes... heh..." Matt replied. Of course, Lance's family had been invited to the wedding. After all the time Shiro and Matt had spent with them, they'd become closer and basically part of the family as well.

Keith glanced across the room, then saw Romelle and Lotor. He kissed Lance's cheek and then headed over to them, standing by their booth.

" Hey... you look exhausted..." He chuckled as he looked down at his sister. She had bags under her eyes, as did Lotor. The baby was peacefully sleeping in Lotor's arms at that moment, so he had to be careful about his volume.

" I told you... she doesn't sleep at night. I think she's nocturnal..." Romelle whispered, then yawned. She stood and gave him a hug, which she did often. Since he was back, they'd become even closer than before and Keith visited with her a lot. He plopped down in the booth with them.

" Shimmer doesn't sound like a nocturnal name..." Keith teased quietly.

" Yeah... but I can already tell." Lotor replied under his breath. " My kid is some sort of vampire or night owl..."

" Have you and Lance ever thought about kids?" Romelle asked, turning over to her brother. She felt like a lot of people in the family circle had been having kids recently, but Keith and Lance were going way slower when compared to everyone else. Maybe the reason was obvious, but she was just curious.

" I mean..." Keith began. " We have, but it won't be for a while. We want to get married and settled down first. His tour was pushed back, you know, so it'll be a while..."

" Yeah... I was just wondering." Romelle said.

" For now, being an uncle is enough for me." Keith smiled and looked over at Shimmer. She really was just the most precious little baby, as was Chanel.

After they handled the practicing, which was pretty simple, they got to head back to the dining area to have some food. It hadn't taken long, since Matt and Shiro decided not to have a wedding party. They just wanted their family and friends to be there and have fun, not having to worry about other obligations. Their wedding wasn't even big enough for something like that anyways.

Keith held Lance's hand under the table, and they were in a booth with Pidge, Hunk, and Shay. He couldn't get his mind off of earlier, and it was definitely their bond that was making the feelings stronger.

There was a catch to having bonded with Lance, though. It meant the alpha almost always knew what he was thinking.

Lance wrapped an arm around his side and held him close, and Keith ate his pork cutlet bowl while blushing to himself. Yes, he was eating katsudon. He almost felt like he was in the anime Yuri on Ice!!! what with the hotspring and food, but he was probably imagining things.

" How's the food, Princess?" Lance murmured in his ear, but he already knew the answer. Keith loved it. He could feel how satisfied his omega was, but could also sense the tension. It was difficult to ignore, since they'd basically had to derail what they'd been up to earlier.

" It's good..." Keith replied. " How's your soba?"

" Amazing. I feel like Todoroki. It's weeb heaven being here." Lance joked.

" Oh god..." Hunk laughed, and Pidge was already snorting to herself. Anime nerds like Lance and Keith were really the wrong people to take to Japan, and that was mainly because they'd never want to leave.

After dinner, they headed back to their rooms. They were on the main level, and were close to the access point for the hotspring behind the hotel. Keith was definitely excited to head out there. He was wearing a swimsuit, even if they weren't required back there. Why? Well... even after everything, he wasn't totally comfortable waltzing around naked.

Famous people could never be too careful as far as leaked pictures went. He knew that better than anyone.

Lance, on the other hand, didn't really care. He figured that as long as he had his towel when he was out of the water... there wouldn't be any problems. He hid outside of the bathroom door, waiting to scoop Keith up when he came out.

" I love you!" He yelled, picking him up and laughing to himself.

" You scared the hell out of me, asshat!" Keith gasped, nearly punching him on reflex. Still, though, Lance narrowly escaped it. The omega soon smiled softly and settled in his arms, but blushed once he realized the alpha was naked.

" O-Oh..."

" I don't feel like wearing a suit." Lance shrugged. Plus... if Keith decided that he wanted to get frisky under the water, he didn't want it to get in the way.

Keith was turning redder by the second and he could hardly help it. It didn't matter if he and Lance had done it on countless occasions and even had a sex room in their basement. He never got bored when it came to their sex life.

Lance wore one of the hotel robes, as did Keith, and they headed down to the lobby. The access to the hot spring went out through there, and lucky for them, it was later at night by then. No one else who Shiro and Matt had invited to come happened to be there. That was a blessing.

" All to ourselves, KitKat..." Lance smirked and leaned by Keith's ear. He was already having some... dirty thoughts. He hoped that Keith was feeling the same way still, and what they'd done before dinner wasn't just teasing.

" That's convenient..." Keith shed the robe and stepped into the water. It was like a hot tub, and almost made him feel like he was at home in their own backyard. He went deeper into the water, stepping until he reached the wall on the far side.

And Lance would've followed him right away, but he was so mesmerized. Keith was like an angel in the water... and as his hair got wet, he looked like a sexy one. Man... he was the luckiest guy on Earth. No one could convince him otherwise.

Thank you, Shiro, for having picked such a wonderful place to have a wedding. It meant that Lance would get to spend some quality time with his omega. Though they did do things like that often, he had definitely been busy in those past couple months. Their fans had been crazy after the story of what happened came out, and it had been insane trying to keep up with them. Not to mention, with his tour rescheduled, there was so much left to do.

Keith would be with him for the whole tour. Though James was dead, there was no way that he would risk leaving him alone.

" Lance?" Keith asked, running some of the water through his hair and staring at him.

The alpha snapped out of it, then looked at Keith in the water, just waiting for him. He couldn't wait to get his hands all over the omega.

" You coming?" Keith asked, raising a brow. Maybe Lance had been spacing out again. He'd been doing that a lot after what happened. Which, that was pretty normal, or so the doctors said.

" Yeah..." Lance dropped the robe, then stepped in and walked out to him. The water was relaxing, and it made all the tension leave his muscles. The sexual tension and the feelings that bound them together, though... weren't going anywhere.

" Are you okay?" Keith asked, wrapping his arms around Lance when he got to him.

" Yeah, Keith... just thinking about us..." The alpha murmured, then leaned his forehead onto the omega's. " I love you..."

Keith knew that Lance was telling the truth. His neck tingled and told him everything that he needed to know. He pulled him closer and embraced him.

" I love you too... don't overthink it..." He stood on his toes and pressed a kiss onto his lips.
