Last Three Words
Part 2

Being rescued was easy, finding Keith in the galra prison was even easier. But watching as they moved him which caused him pain and suffering was almost the hardest thing you had to do in your life.

You didn't know how Keith lived through the torture but he pulled through.

He did, but you didn't know if you could.

~~

You were on the training deck punching and kicking and a punching bag. Your teeth grit and the fists so tights your knuckles were white.

You were off duty for watching Keith, he had already been in a pod past the time he was supposed to be so you guys had to take him out and let him heal at a normal pace by laying him in bed. It was Hunk's turn so you had enough time to get all your frustrated out on the punching bag.

You wanted to destroy everyone and everything that laid their hands on Keith during your stay there together. You knew you were too weak but the anger inside you boiled every time you re-bandaged his wounds which were quickly becoming (or already were) scars.

Suddenly the door opened and Hunk ran in "(Y/N)!" You stopped kicking and punching and looked at Hunk as you panted. You noticed his wide eyes and the stunned look on his face but a hint of worry with it.

You just looked at each other in silence for a moment before he spoke. "Keith's awake."

You immediately started running Hunk quickly following after you. You panted as you ran, your heart was beating rapidly from your excitement but also nervousness.

You ran in the door and saw Keith laying there in his bed coughing after taking a drink which Pidge was giving him.

"K-Keith!" You whispered as tears began to pool at the bottom of your eyes. You rushed over to his side and knelt beside the bed as you looked at him.

He smiled weakly at you "Hey (Y/N)." You chuckled as tears began flooding out of your eyes. You were so happy to finally see him awake.

Keith lifted a weak arm and wiped your tears away with his thumb your body responding by leaning into his palm. "Thanks for saving me."

You smiled at him before you stood up and slowly crawled into his bed next to him snuggling right up against his slowly healing body which radiated a heat making you feel safe and loved.

Keith sighed and wrapped his arm around you his ahnd resting on your hip. Keith closed his eyes and fell asleep again. You looked at Pidge and thanked her for watching him before telling her she could go. She nodded and tip toed out of Keith's room leaving you two alone.

You closed your eyes and cherished the time you had with him pressed right up against his mostly bandaged body. You smiled at the sound of the steady pitter patter of his heart before slowly fading into sleep like Keith had already done.

~~

I

t had been a week and Keith had improved a lot. He was beginning to get up and walk around with the rest of you.

You smiled and kissed his cheek making him smile back at you as you held hands. You were walking into the lounging room together to just sit and relax instead of doing that in Keith's bed all day.

Sure you were holding hands because you were in love but truthfully you were also holding his hand so that if he hobbled or began to fall you could catch him. He was still pretty weak.

He sat down and you say down next to him before looking at Lance who was laying down on the couch in front of the one you were sitting on his leg hanging over the edge.

"How ya hanging in there Keith?" Lance asked not looking away from the ceiling a bored look on his face. Keith lifted up his arms and examined the bandages that were lovingly wrapped on him by you. "I'm getting there."

Lance looked over at you two and sat up just as Pidge walked in and plopped down beside Lance. "Sup." She said before laying back against the couch and sighing. You chuckled "How are you Pidge?" You asked and she groaned loudly.

"Girl problems." She simply stated letting you know exactly what she was going through if you know what I mean.

Lance scrunched up his nose and jumped away from Pidge making her glare at him. "What?" She taunted him "Scaredy cat." She called him ruffling up his hair making him shriek and fall off of the couch.

"D-don't touch me! Y-you MONSTER!" He yelled and Pidge cackled evilly. "Then you better start running." She stood and Lance scrambled to his feet before running off as Pidge chased him laughing her head off at his childish behavior.

You laughed also at both of their childish behaviors and Keith chuckled a bit watching you.

Suddenly you felt his hand grab your face making you look at him with wide eyes. "I missed this laugh so much." He stated looking into your eyes as you looked into his his eyes portraying an emotion of eternal great fullness to be out of that hell.

You smiled and hugged him close as you had to keep back your sobs from coming out. You were so happy he was alive and you wanted nothing more than to protect him for as long as you lived.

"I'm never gonna let you go." You promised and Keith nuzzled his face into your neck. "I'm never going to leave you." You chuckled as a few tears slipped out of your eyes.

You pulled back and kissed his forehead lovingly. He just leaned into your touch as you held each other.

After a minute of relishing in each other's touch Keith pulled away and looked up at your face since you were kneeling on the couch and he was sitting.

"You're not having girly problems too are you?" He asked his cheeks tinted pink making you gasp in mock offense.

"NO!" you exclaimed before crossing your arms over your chest. "Why do you need to know or even care anyways?" You asked and Keith shook his head. "It's nothing." He saidbefore standing up.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean!? Tell me!" You exclaimed following him out of the lounge room as Keith waved you off.

~~

You looked into the mirror in your room. You were blushing as looked at yourself. You had had a crazy thought and you didn't know if you should act on it or not.

You placed your hand on your heart feeling it pound intensely against your chest. You let your hand run down the front of your body until it slipped off. You shivered, why were you thinking these things now?

You grabbed a cup of water before taking a drink and walking to Keith's room. You had been sleeping with each other at night because it made you both feel safe.

Sure Keith was still recovering physically from that prison but you both were on a long road to recovering mentally.

You walked into Keith's room the door closing behind you. "Hey." Keith greeted you from where he sat on the bed. You smiled at him before leaning down and kissing his cheek. "Hey." You greeted back in a small whisper as you smiled lovingly at him.

He smiled at you before scooting into the bed closest to the wall giving you room to climb in which you did eagerly. You were tired but you also loved just laying with Keith. Something about his presence, his smell, his touch. It all made you feel safe.

You sighed as you snuggled right up against Keith your chests pressed against each other's Keith's arms wrapped around your frame his hands meeting at the small of your back. You hummed in content. You never wanted to move from this position. Ever.

After a few minutes your eyes fluttered open to see Keith just staring at you. Your ears turned pink and you glanced away before looking back at him. "Are you not tired?" You asked and he smiled softly before shaking his head alerting you that he wasn't tired.

"Well do you wanna do something then?" You asked in the silence that only heard your two mingling breaths. Keith shook his head "You're tired so just go to sleep, I'll manage." He said and you nodded.

You looked down and sighed "Do you remember what you said to me b-before they- they took you and-." Keith held you tighter. "Yeah I do." He whispered his head laying on top of yours. "W-well I-I never got the chance to tell you how I feel." You looked up at his face and he just stared at you.

"K-Keith." You sat up sitting on your knees so that you were above him. "I- I love you." You said your cheeks dusting pink. Keith smiled tears beginning to pool at the rims of his eyes. "I can't tell you how many hours I have spent imaging you say that to me. And still none of my imaginations we're as good as this."

You whimpered as a tear slid down your cheek. You quickly leaned down and connected your lips in a long passionate kiss which left you both breathless.

You looked into each other's eyes a moment asking the silent question.

You both leaned in again you grabbing Keith's face to hold him as your lips created a sparky heat between you. Keith sat up a bit leaning in his elbows and you straddled his waist your body's aching to be closer to one another.

You pulled away and smiled as you cried tears spilling out of your eyes "I-I love you! Keith I love you so much!" You leaned down and kissed him again Keith receiving your lips gently with his own.

He pushed you away for a moment " I love you (Y/N)." He said again through pants.

You smiled and crashed your lips back against his as his hands slowing trailed up and down your sides before coming to rest on your lower back. You pulled away from his lips with a slight pop before kissing down his jaw and to his neck making him gasp and moan at the sensations you were sending through his body.

Your hands feverishly found the bottom of his shirt before lifting it up over his head exposing his bare chest now marked with scars reminding him of what he went through.

Your hands rested on his chest as Keith looked up at you his face blushing pink which was matching yours.

You felt his hands slide under the hem of your shirt touching your bare skin. You shivered.

~~

Getting dressed was a very bubbly experience. By bubbly I mean fun, there was lots of laughing and giggling.

"Give me my shirt!"
"No!"

You teased him as you stood on the bed in your underwear and a bra holding Keith's t-shirt above your head. You knew he was still too weak to do too much so you used it to your advantage.

"Darn you (Y/N)!" He exclaimed and you giggled jumping down and slipping his shirt over his head for him. Now he was fully dressed and you were.. Not close.

"Help me with my clothes?" You asked and he smiled as you handed him your pajama pants so he could help you put them on even though you didn't need any help.

You stepped into your pants and Keith pulled them up your legs paying extra attention to what your mama gave ya if you know what I mean.

You smirked and lifted your arms making him chuckled before sliding your shirt down your arms and onto your body.

"Thanks!" You giggled before putting two fingers under his chin and kissing him.

"I'll be ready for breakfast in a few." You said before whispering an 'I love you' to him. He smiled and kissed your forehead "See you then (Y/N)." He said and you smiled before skipping out of his room.

Once you were alone you squealed loudly at what happened that night.

Once you were dressed and your hair was brushed you opened the door to leave your room and you heard a loud boom.

You gasped and your heart started racing as you felt the ship shake beneath your feet.

You ran in the direction of the sound.

Keith's room.

You stopped when you saw the blood. Your heart raced at your head screamed hoping it wasn't what you thought it was.

You looked and saw your worst nightmare come true.

You screamed at the sight Keith's bleeding corpse.

Suddenly a hand wrapped around your neck from behind it was bony and slick with blood.

You panted as you heard the sound of the witch that captured you. "There is no escape from the galra empire. Not even if my disgusting son has taken the throne. The real galra empire will always find a way."

You whimpered before screaming then you opened your eyes.

You were panting and sweating. You looked over to see Keith sleeping soundly. It was just a dream.. Thank goodness it was just a dream.

You wiped a few tears from your eyes and snuggled back up against Keith's bare form. You weren't going to leave him once you woke up.

<~~~~~>

Tbh y'all got lucky with this good ending cause I was gonna make it that she woke up from the dream and she was strapped to the table in prison being mentally tortured.

You're glad I didn't though right?
