Different (Completed)

Chapter 11

"OhmygodKeith!" I yelped feeling heat flame my cheeks.

The smirk on his lips and his teasing brow brought an embarrassed smile to my face. I licked my suddenly dry lips as I waited for my heart rate to calm.

His violet eyes honed in on the object in my hands.

"I-uh. You left it behind and I knew you'd come back for it. I think it's hideous, and should be burned, but it works on you." I held the jacket out to him.

"Thanks?" He cocked his head to the side as he took the jacket from me.

I rubbed the back of my neck searching for something else to say.

How am I out of words? I never don't know what to say.

"About what happened-" Keith began looking away. His grip tightened on the jacket. His body was rigid as if he was holding his breath and running out of air.

"I wasn't acting like myself." He spoke softly.

"You had a fever and said some weird stuff. No big deal." I shrugged nonchalant though inside I felt a gaping hole spreading in my chest.

So it really meant nothing then.

"Anyway let's forget about it. Hunk's cooking up something special. I'm starving." I waved my hand dismissively. I forced a smile before heading into the hall.

KEITH

I held onto the jacket that had the lingering scent of coconut and warmth.

I wanted to rub my face on it and breathe it in. Worse I wanted to reach out and hold Lance close and breathe him in.

I can do this. I can overcome my heat.

Sighing I hung up the jacket near the door and followed Lance's trail to the dining hall.

Everyone was present and all eyes were on me.

"Welcome back Keith." Coran clapped me on the back. I winced, but smiled and thanked him.

"Yeah it's good to have you back." Pidge smirked glancing to Lance. He was fidgeting in his seat at the moment.

"We were all very worried, but we are glad you are safe." Allura smiled sweetly.

"It was just a misunderstanding, but we are all here now, and now we can regain focus and put all off our efforts into piloting Voltron." Shiro chimed in from his seat at Allura's right hand.

"That's right. " coran agreed.

After Hunk's delicious meal we gathered in the lounge to munch on some cookies he had made. Pidge hooked up a console to a computer and and handed me the controller.

"How can someone who's never played video games before be so good at them?!" Lance gripped his hair as his shrill voice clipped the air.

"It's a lot like piloting." I shrugged.

That received a giggle from Pidge and a chuckle from Shiro. Lance shook his head in disbelief and folded his arms over his chest.

"He's totally cheating. "Lance accused.

"What? No I'm not." I dropped the controller to stand toe to toe with Lance.

I staggered back a step as the overwhelming aroma of coconut drifted into my nose.

The scent quickly fogged my head. My vision went blurry as I felt desire pool in the pit of my stomach. The self secreting lubricant my hormones created began to drip down my thighs.
