Keith knelt in the cold grass as he inspected the cool frost over the top of the green grass of the morning as his nose twitched at the flower that is not close to blooming. He stood up looking around at the nature surrounding him as the air of spring was different that the winter he experienced.

Keith let out a squawk as he was tackled into the wet grass.

"Rule number one, watch the fuck out," Lance cackled above him as Keith pushed his face out of the way.

"Get off asshole," he grunted as Lance fell into the grass laughing.

"Your in a good mood," Keith smirked at him sitting up as he wore fingerless gloves, a dirty black t shirt as he had baggy pants and boots with a necklace that had a tooth at the end dangling while he had face paint on one side of his face that curved from his neck to his cheek.

"Today's the day," Lance beamed holding his feet as they stayed on the ground.

"Right the galra come back for the week and in like two weeks altea goes to the galra base," Keith snapped his fingers remembering.

"I'm so glad winters over," Lance breathed flopping on the ground with his arms extended and legs out.

"Why?" Keith raised an eye brow.

"No one can travel from base to base, especially since they're all like a day or two to travel, dangerous in the winter," Lance told him and Keith nodded.

"It's literally been six months since you've seen him," Keith shrugged and Lance smiled touching his necklace.

"Seven," he mumbled and Keiths indigo eye glanced at him and smiled gently at his friend.

"Well you don't want to keep your prince waiting, come on you pain in the ass," Keith held out his hand and Lance grabbed it smirking as they stood up and Lance grabbed a branch near his head and swung up as Keith did the same easily.

After the attack of the empire seven months ago, Keith began to train with Lance and pidge as he learned new ways of defense and how to take someone down and even ways to kill. Lance helped him learn to be a tree topper as well as Keith enjoyed being off the ground, feeling freer than when he first felt the sun on his skin. Over the months they became rivals to best friends and to one of lances trusted commanders.

Lance landed on the ground as Keith landed near by and they walked through the grass while Allura was talking to Matt and Shiro as they where discussing ways to rebuild roofs from a thunder storm the night before.

"Try tiles, they hold more," Lance offered smirking tapping his sisters shoulder.

"So you did find him," Shiro smiled at Keith who flipped him off.

"Just looking around," Lance shrugged and glanced around.

"Where's the galra?" Lance asked with hope in his blue eyes.

"Should be here soon," Allura nodded smirking at him but they heard people calling and cheering as there where horses galloping to the entrance of the altean encampment.

"Yo Lance!" Ezor called as she jumped off her horse as Lance embraced her laughing spinning his friend as she hugged him.

"You guys are still alive," Lance laughed looking to see Axca, Zethrid and Narti who walked over smirking.

"You had doubt?" Zethrid pushed his shoulder laughing.

"Where's Lotor?" Lance asked hugging Acxa quickly.

"Don't tell me you missed me my love," a voice said behind and Lance gasped excitedly seeing Lotor getting off his black horse.

"Lotor!" He cried out running to him and Lotor opened his arms embracing Lance as his smaller body rammed into him and they both fell to the ground. Lance laughed sitting on Lotor looking down at him as Lotor held his face while he was on the ground smiling.

"Mi amor," Lance laughed with tears in his eyes and kissed Lotor smiling repeatedly and buried his face in his neck as Lotor chuckled holding his held tightly as he buried his nose in lances hair inhaling the scent he missed so much.

"I missed you my love," Lotor kissed his head with his lips lingering on lances forehead as Lance laughed wiping his tears away.

"I'm coming with you next time," Lance kissed his lips again running his fingers through his hair but froze feeling the side.

"Your hair," Lance saw half of it was shaved. Lotor smiled sitting up with Lance in his lap still.

"We have much to catch up on," Lotor laughed hugging him again but lances fingers stayed playing with the shaved side of his head. Lance caught his breath in his throat seeing a healer gash under the hair as well, it wasn't there before.

"Yes, we do," Lance whispered kissing him again slowly with passion as he held onto Lotors neck.

"Lotor, good to see you again," Allura smirked at them as Lance pulled away groaning sending a glare at her.

"As well as you princess," Lotor chuckled standing up as he held lances hand to help him up as well.

"It seems longer with your hair being different," she put a hand on her hip looking at Lotors shaved side of his head.

"I think it's hot," Lance whispered in his ear and Lotor growled smirking bringing Lance to his chest who cackled in his arms.

"They're going to not be able to focus until they get a room alone for like two hours," Ezor snorted standing near Allura who paled.

"That's still my little brother," she said flatly looking at the generals.

"Of course queen," Acxa bit her lip looking to the side as blushed stained her olive cheeks.

"Acxa we've known each other long enough, please just call me Allura," she walked to the dark haired woman and noticed that she wore the dark lipstick she offered her years ago.

"That color looks nice on you," Allura giggled as Acxa stayed silent.

"How was the winter in the galra clan?" She asked as she walked with Acxa.

"Que- Allura, I believe that is something Lotor wishes to discuss with you," Acxa sighed but noticed the worried look on the white haired beauty's face.

"But it was lovely," she smiled gently at her and Allura smiled back with a little relief.
