Time skip-1 month

//keith pov//

lance had been getting better from what i have seen. the team and i still dont let him leave out site for more than 5 minutes. it slowly kills me knowing how much he wants to kill himself. i really dont know what to do. anyway, me and lance are now dating and ive been helping him when he gets...you know..um, suicidal.  if we arent fighting the galra are on a mission we are together.

~~~

i was sitting in my room cleaning my knife after a mission as the team was hanging out on the bridge and i had nothing better to do. i hear a soft knock on my door and it slides open. i look up to see a slightly nervous lance. 

i stand already knowing whats going on. i walk up to him and put my hand on his back slowly leading him to my bed. when he comes to my room like this i always check his arms, out of habit i guess. he hasn't cut since that day...  i go to pull up his sleeves and he yanks his arm back. 

" Lance..." i say as worry laced my voice

" THEIR NOT DEEP I PROMISE!" he yells and he pulls his knees up to his chest with his arm clutched with his hand. i slowly move closer to the cuben, trying not to frighten him.  i wrap my arms around him and whisper in his ear.

"why dont we go get you cleaned up and we can do something fun, hmm~?" he looks at me and smiles then nods.

we get him cleaned up and lance looks at me with the most exited look i have seen ever. 

//lance pov//

after keith helps me get cleaned up i get the best idea. // this is where softklanceday's idea starts so thank you//  A FORT

" KEITH!" I scream as he jumps not expecting me to scream. 

"yes, thats my name" he says. i look at him with a VERY unimpressed face.

" i was thinking, well, maybe we could make a fort. i mean, when we wnt to the space mall i remember getting a lot of blankets and i think i got some fairy lights too?" he looked at me and smiled. 

"sure" i jumped and ran to my closet and started to pull out blankets and pillows. after i got everything out i started to set everything up.

~time skip bc i lazy~

when we finished it looked a little like this

we crawl under the blankets and stare at the lights. we begin making constellations. 

we end up talking about my family back home. a little crying, laughing and cuddling. we stayed like this for about, i dont know, 2-3 hours when we both fell asleep. 

~another time skip~

// keiths pov//

its been about a month and me and lance moved the fort to a storage space so we could keep it up. when he gets sad or we just need some alone time ' If you know what i mean*wink*' we come here.

its like a little escape from the world. so we can make our own.

// ok so im finally done with a chapter. just so you know, this is NOT the end of the story as i still want to do some things....heheh. other than that, again thank the creator of the fort theme or you would not be getting this chapter! bi bi//
