Keith Pov
I held Lance closer as he was soundly asleep. He cried when we were having sex. He looked at me as I was going to leave him for good. I would never leave him not even for something like this. But then again I'm basically picking being a leader or training to be better for my mom.

I don't want to leave the others they became my friends and almost like family. Especially Lance and his family who took me in like I was their own kid. I didn't want to leave that behind but how can I love like this? I can't just keep coming late and tired to training with others from BOM. I might have to leave one of those for awhile and I know which one I should.

~ few days later

"So you're leaving Voltron?" Shiro said as we stood a few feet apart. His stare was stern and his body was still. "Yeah just for a few months until I get answers. I don't want anyone in the group to feel like I'm a burden for being a lousy leader. I'm no leader Shiro. If anything you're more qualified  for it." He sighs as he walks towards me and puts his hand on my shoulder

"You were doing pretty well until you found that group. But I can't stop you and it's your choice. Just know how to let Lance know when you're going to go ghost for a few months again. That boy loves you to the moon and back Keith." I nod "I know. I've been thinking about this for awhile now. I'm sorry to ruin the project you and Allura had."

"Its fine. She understands anyways I'll be in your place for awhile until you come back if you decide to." I sigh as he walked by me as I held my head lowered. "I might not come back.." I said softly "Talk to Lance. He deserves to know." I pulled my phone and called him over and in seconds he was at my front door. "Keith? What's going on?"

I pulled him towards my room and closed the door and sat him down "Did you call me so we can have sex? I'm honored but I can't if your brother is around." I blushed and shook my head "No. Lance I made up my mind about what I should do." "You're leaving? Aren't you?" His face looked pained and my heart ached "Yeah just for a few months. I'll promise I'll keep in touch with you."

I went to touch his face but he flinched at my touch. "Are you though? You've been distant with me lately and I feel like you don't want to be with me. Keith please tell me are you happy to be with me?" I nodded quickly my eyes widen at that "Of course I am Lance! You're my stability! You keep away from doing stupid and reckless stuff and make me feel at home! I just don't know how to protect you from me!"

I lowered my head "What? What are talking about Keith?" "Lance I always bring danger and you always end up hurt or banged up! I'm a monster and you should stay away but I'm selfish because I don't want anyone else with you because I'm deeply in love with you and I just can't picture you hurt or worse because I wasn't there."

He held my face and wiped my eyes and he kissed me softly "I won't get hurt babe I had a great teacher to teach me" he smiles and I chuckled "I'm sorry Lance." He sighs "Its fine Keith and I get that you want to know answers and I won't hold you back. Just don't push me away okay? I'm here for you."

I wrapped my arms around him as we embraced and he held tight "Hey make it up to me over a date." "A date?" "Yes a date. We yet gone on one." He's totally right I always changed my mind or didn't feel like going or dressing up. "Alright let's go on a date."

~ a month later

"You have to focus and not go back!" I groaned as I stood up in kolivans face and glared at him "I'm not like you! Why leave a soldier behind if you are low on them! You should protect them at all cost!" He groaned "This isn't Voltron Kogane. This is blades and we are different from them. You failed your training sequence again. Now you are dismissed."

He turned and walked away and I groaned "Keith" I turn and see Thace "Hey." "You did well" "Yeah but not good enough." "You are stressing yourself out. Maybe you're still young for this." "What? No I'm not i was recruited at the age of 15. I'm more qualified then anyone else. I just need more time." He nods and sighs "Fine but if you do not approve you will be gone for good. Not even I could save you." I sigh and nodded "Yes Sir."

I pulled my phone out as I decided to call Lance. I'm only allowed to see him on weekends and not speak with him after that but I like breaking the rules. "Keith? What's wrong it's pretty *yawns* late." I sigh "I miss you. I just wanted to hear your voice." I could hear the smile he probably had as I heard shuffling

"What's wrong?" "Couldn't sleep and I had a rough day. I failed my mission sequence again. If I don't pass I'm getting booted." Lance sighs "I'm sorry about that. If it makes you feel better we're doing a bit terrible. Everyone doesn't like the new training styles and no one really listens to Shiro since he's been in charge. Everything has changed Keith and it's weird not having you there anymore."

After a few seconds I could hear Lance sniffle as he was sounding as he was gonna cry. "I miss you.." He whispered and my heart ached and craved his warm hugs and kisses. "I miss you too. Just one more day and I'll see you again." He chuckles "Yeah. I gotta go Keith or Shiro be mad at me for being tired later."

I smirked and sigh "Can you stay a bit longer?" "Keith babe I need my rest and so do you. I love you so much and I know you'll pass your next task." I smiled and sigh wishing he was here and near so I can relax "I love you more." He chuckles "Bye babe. Take care" "bye Lance." The line cut off and I held my phone looking at our photo as I started to cry. Just for a few months and I'll go back. I got this.

*Why did no one tell me it was my son's birthday?? (Keith) anyways hoped you enjoyed
