Different (Completed)

Chapter 15

After a few moments of bliss he drew back and pouted.

"I hate that that works so well." He wrinkled his nose. I laughed kissing the tip of his nose.

"I know, I'm irrisistable. " I grinned. He rolled his eyes at that before shoving me back against the pillows.

A sly smirk spread across his face.

"Yes, you are." He purred dipping his head lower.

KEITH

I woke sometime later after hours of play. I stretched my sore and stiff muscles with a cat-like yawn.

There was a grunt beside me. I glanced over my shoulder to see Lance drooling as he slept soundly with one tanned arm draped over his eyes.

Stifling the giggle that bubbled in my chest I rose and stared down at him. The red mark that marked him as mine was in plain sight.

My dad is gonna kill me. I should really talk to him about it.

"It's better he finds out by me telling him and not by him walking in on anything again." I muttered.

Slipping silently from Lance's room I headed to my own to clean myself and change into fresh clothes.

As I was heading to the kitchen's to get something to eat I bumped into Shiro.

"How are you feeling?" He asked after steadying me.

"Fatigued, but I'll be okay." I assured him.

He accepted that and walked with me toward the kitchen.

"So I tried contacting Thace again this morning, but there was still no answer." Shiro sighed handing me a juice pouch.

"My dad? What were you trying to contact him for?" I raised my brows in confusion.

A guilty look flickered across Shiro's usually laid back demeanor.

"I-uh- I think you should talk to Lance." He spoke quickly before leaving me alone.

Lance? What did he want to contact my father for?

Curious more than ever I headed back to his room and woke sleeping beauty.

"Hey!" He wailed tossing the pillow aside that I had smacked him with.

"What was that for?!" He glared at me.

"Why were you trying to contact my dad?" I asked ignoring his question.

He clamped his mouth shut clearly not expecting that.

"Well?" I asked growing impatient.

He sighed closing his eyes.

"I wanted to talk to your dad about- about us. I wanted to tell him that we bonded and that I love you and I want to be with you." He rushed in a single breath.

I pinched the bridge of my nose before using the same hand to rub the back of my neck.

"You know I care deeply for you Lance, but let's face it. I'm barely human. Especially now in this stupid heat." I growled.

"I don't care if you're one-hundred percent alien, I love you Keith." Lance's steely blue eyes met mine and I felt my walls begin to crumble. I couldn't speak. I could only stare at him.

"Do you love me back?" He asked. His blue eyes faltered a moment. I waited several heartbeats to speak. I didn't want my voice to crack and show how much he got through to me.

"I do. I love you Lance." I stepped closer to him closing the gap between us. I placed one knee on the bed and gripped his precious face between my hands.

"More than anything in this galaxy." I smiled softly before pecking him on the lips.

"Sooo, we should tell your dad." Lance glanced at me sideways.

"Are you crazy. He'll kill us both." I shook my head.

Lance snorted and brushed my hair from my face.

"Come on, I'm adorable. You're dad will love me." He wagged his brows.

Knowing my dad he already thought up a thousand and one ways to kill him without leaving any evidence.

"Yeah not so much after your last meeting." I patted his hand.

He pouted but shrugged after a moment.

"Yeah, I get it." He agreed.

I laughed at that and wrapped my arm around his bare waist.

"Tell you what, if you can beat me in a sparring match then we tell him. If I win, we don't, at least not yet." I added quickly before Lance could protest.

"Deal." He smirked holding out his hand. My fingers curled around his as a smirk spread across my face.

"Deal." I kissed his cheek rising from the bed.

"You mean now?" He whined.

"Scared you're gonna lose?" I teased arching a brow.

"No way! You're going down Mullet." Lance hopped out of bed realizing he was naked and quickly covered himself.

"It's nothing I haven't seen before." I rolled my eyes.

He's too cute.

"Yeah well right now we are rivals." He grabbed a pillow holding it over his groin.

"You still love me though right baby?" I purred arching my back a little.

Lance's cheeks burned bright pink as he cleared his throat.

"Of course I do."

"Then let's fight." I winked before leaving him a confused mess.

This is gonna be fun.
