Matt swims over to them "Man, what took you so long?"

The two look at each other then Keith answers "Nothing, don't worry about it"

"Mh, okay. Now tell me, was it cool to jump off of that cliff?" Lance and Keith nod "Cool, then I'm going"

"Wait up, I want to jump again" Lance said and swims after Matt, Keith also follows them.

Soon Pidge, Adam, and Shiro join in and they all jump a lot of times.

Now, the short talk between Keith and Lance cleared some things up, but not really everything. Sure, they both know that the feelings are mutual, but what now? they probably will be awkward around each other, when they are alone.

Lance for sure knows that he want's to get closer with Keith and maybe in the future start a relationship. He still thinks about the situation with Allura.

But Keith, well, Keith is scared of commitment. His past relationship wasn't the greatest. Sure Lotor was nice at first, but he got abusive. Keith at first just ignored it, but it got serious. With the support of Shiro, Keith eventually broke up with Lotor and got better. He still has a small trauma, what is completely understandable, but it isn't that bad.

The both of them just hope the best outcome. They still need to talk clear things up, again.

The six of them jumped multiple times off of the cliff. Nothing happened, everything was safe. Until Keith jumped and hurt his foot.

He reached the bottom of the lake and felt a sharp pain in his foot. So, what every normal person would do, he got out of the water.

"SHIRO" Keith shouts "COME HERE FOR A SECOND" he sits on the ground

Shiro also comes out of the water and walks over to Keith "What happened?"

Keith shrugs "I reached the ground when I jumped"

Shiro keels down and looks at his foot "It's bleeding a whole lot! Does it hurt?" he asks worriedly

"Yes, dumbass" he rolls his eyes "Is it really bleeding?"

"Are you blind? Yes, it is" he stands up again and turns around "GUYS COME HERE"

Soon after they all come out "What happened?" Adam asks

"Keith got injured" he kneels back down to Keith "He is bleeding like hell, and he didn't even notice at first. Maybe he even broke his foot" he sighs

"Can you walk?" Pidge asks him

"No, probably not. It hurts like hell"

"You're an idiot with a mullet" Lance says

"Oh shut up"

"Adam and I will help you get to the car" Shiro explains "And for now we need to stop the bleeding" Shiro looks around

"We can take someones shirt" Lance suggest

"Since it's Keith's blood, we will take his clothes" Pidge says and crosses their arms

Adam gets Keith's shirt and gives to Shiro so he can wrap it around his foot. Then Adam and Shiro helped Keith to stand up and walked back together.

Walking back was quite difficult. They need to climb over rocks, go up a small mountain. Lets say it was a small workout.

When they got back to the car, Shiro took the small first-aid-kit and treated Keith's wound.

Lance was a little worried. He saw that Keith isn't suffering, but the wound does look bad, and like Shiro said, it could be that it's broken.

"You don't need to worry that much, Lance" Adam says "It happens every time" he shakes his head

"I know, you said that once. But still" he looks over at Keith

"You crushing on him?" Adam raises a brow

"W-what? I-I-"

"You think I don't see how you look t him?" he smirks "You couldn't take your eyes off of his chest now the whole time"

Lance turns red and looks down "Y-yeah. But ehm, werethosescarsonhischest" he mumbles

Adam sits down on the ground beside Lance "If you would speak like a normal person, I maybe could answer your question"

Lance takes a deep breath and looks at his hands "Were those scars on his chest. I was scared to ask him myself, you know. He wasn't hiding them, and I didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable"

Adam frowns "Oh"

"Yeah"

Adam sighs "Listen, it's not my place to tell you about it, but I can say that Keith wet through some shit. And I think he will tell you when he is ready" Lance nods "And you need to understand that he won't tell you all at once"

"Obviously. I wouldn't expect him to tell me everything in five minutes. But wouldn't he hide those scars?"

Adam nods "He did in the beginning, but he got over it, accepted them I guess, and moved on. You need to move on at some point"

"It's just so weird-"

"I know there are a lot, but he didn't want to suffer for eternity, please understand that. i think Keith can explain it at some point" Adam smiles sadly at Lance

"Lance, Adam, are you coming? We are ready" Matt says

"Yeah" Lance and Adam stand up and walk to the car.

The ride back was relaxing. They had a navigator, so they easily found their way home.

Lance was thinking about what Adam told him. Keith went through a lot. He couldn't help but worry just more. Sure, Adam told him that Keith got over it, but isn't that what all people say when they have a lot on their mind?

He wants to talk with him as soon as possible. But if Keith doesn't want to tell him, he won't pressure him and give him space.

"Lance stop worrying, I'm fine" Keith says

"Sorry"

"Don't be sorry. I should be sorry that I made you worry, but I found out that Pidge is heartless, cause of their reaction" Pidge rolls their eyes "If you want you can call me in the evening, and we can talk?"

Lance nods "Yeah, I'd like that" he smiles "But that doesn't mean I won't be worried"

Lance is happy that he can talk with Keith again. He wants to now what will happen now. They talked, more confessed, their feelings, and he doesn't want it to end there.

Once Shiro dropped everyone off, he and Keith also drove home. When they got home Shiro's parents took a better look at Keith's foot.They said it would be a better idea to go to the hospital, so they did, after Keith went to take a shower.

Turned out that Keith indeed broke his foot and needs to walk with crutches. The only benefit he got out of that, no P.E.

When they got home, again, Keith went up to his room and called Lance. "Hey"

"Hey, it took you a while" Lance says

"Yeah sorry, we were at the hospital"

Lance hums "Okay. What did they say?"

Keith lies down "I broke my foot and now need to walk with crutches. But it isn't to bad, oh and also I will have a scar because of that cut"

"A badass scar" Lance corrects him "So eh, I wondered what will happen, you know after our talk today"

Keith's ears and cheeks flushed red "Oh yeah, I don't know. I didn't think I would ever come this far with my feelings" he scratches his neck

"Same" Lance makes a short pause, this is way too awkward for him "Eh, since the feeling is mutual" he makes another pause "Do you maybe, possibly, by any chance-"

Keith rolls his eyes "Come to the point, this makes me anxious"

"Okay, yeah- so, do you maybe wanna go out sometime?"

"Like on a date?" Keith sits up

"Yeah?"

"S-sure"

"Really?" Lance asks, relieved

"Really"

"Cool cool"

Keith smiles "Yeah. Text me the details later?"

Lance nods, then remembers that Keith can't see him "Yep, will do"

"Okay then, see you tomorrow"

"Yeah, good night"

Keith hangs up and looks at his phone. This really just happened, a date, with his crush, this must be some kind of dream "Holy shit".

A small memory of Lotor comes back.

Keith won't forgive what he has ever done to him. The whole abusive relationship left a trauma and scars.

He told Shiro and Adam that he got over it. He did, mostly, there is still some pain left. But he hopes that it will go away.
