part 3 of my random klance blurb. (keith’s pov)

what a crazy day.

after returning his truck to work and explaining to his boss the events that transpired, keith was able to get 3 days off from work to recover from the accident. although he didn’t really see it as an accident. he did get a pretty boy’s number and a kiss on his cheek. compared to any other boring day, it was great day for him.

but just like lance having to tell his parents about the accident, keith had to tell his older brother. he wasn’t ready for all the lectures about being safe and careful.. so he told his brother-in-law, adam, instead. who ended up telling his brother. and about half an hour later, keith was getting picked up by shiro, who was worried sick.

“i can’t believe you got hit!” he exclaimed. keith wasn’t even halfway in the car yet before shiro had his big hands all over his face and body.

“ow! shiro, stop!” keith pushed him away, sending him a deadpanned look. “this is exactly why i contacted adam and not you!”

shiro scoffed, driving away from keith’s job in disbelief at his little brother’s sentence. “adam and i don’t keep secrets from each other. that’s how marriage works.”

keith fake gagged and stared out the window as shiro gave him his famous lecture on marriage and how to be in a successful relationship blah, blah, fucking blah. keith only pretended to listen as he thought about his day. it was barely night now as the stars began peeking out from the clouds and he couldn’t help but be mesmerized by them. he loved the stars ever since he was a little boy. he always dreamed of being up there one day, just like shiro. but reality became too real for him and that dream faded into the background.

“keith??”

a tap to the leg and keith is reeling back in from his thoughts.

“huh?” he looks over at shiro who’s got his eyes on the road and one hand on keith’s knee.

“i said are you sure you’re okay?” shiro repeats. “did you go to the hospital?”

“yeah,” keith nods. “i got a few stitches in my forehead-”

“what-!?” shiro damn near swerves the car trying to whip keith’s head around so he can see.

“-but im fine!” keith pushes his hand away. “fucking hell, focus on the road.”

it’s a long drive back to keith’s apartment. he explains to shiro the subtle details of the accident and leaves it at that. he doesn’t say much about lance or how amazing he is, just that he was a kind stranger who took care of him. shiro said something along the lines of how keith could’ve been killed talking to strangers like that and keith had to remind shiro that he was a twenty-eight year old man who can take care of himself. if lance tried anything at all, keith would have been ready to slice him up.

after being dropped off at his apartment, and reassuring shiro that he didn’t need a babysitter, keith settled into his home immediately. he showered, changed into his pajamas, and even ate a tv dinner while watching some gameshow marathon. he doesn’t get too many channels on his old tv so he takes what he can get.

after dinner, keith settles into his bed. he had a long day. he didn’t have a concussion or whiplash, surprisingly. just a gash. and stitches..

stitches that are really fucking itchy.

keith reaches up to scratch at them and suddenly feels someone slap his hand away. he jumps when he realizes it’s lance’s hand.

the memory of lance’s hand, anyway.

keith sits up in his bed and reaches into the pocket of his black pajama pants, grabbing his phone to unlock it. he takes a breath and goes to his contact list, finding lance’s name.

guardian angel lance.

it’s weird how keith really thought that of lance just after a few hours of being in his presence. there was something so.. good about him. something that was right on the surface that made keith want to drop everything just to be near him again. it was unusual..

he made keith feel unusual. but not in a bad way. just in a way that had keith’s stomach twisting in knots and feeling like he needed to puke the tv dinner digesting inside of his stomach out onto his bed.

what’s that feeling called..?

he didn’t know.

what he did know is that his palms were getting sweaty. he was staring down at his phone, at the contact he pulled up, wishing for some sort of miracle to happen. he wasn’t the best at initiating things and didn’t have a plan in sight on what to do.

should he call? do people still call others and talk on the phone? what do they even talk about?

maybe he should text? texting isn’t his strong suite either.. he can’t even remember to text shiro back until three days later cause he replied in his brain, just not in his phone.

fuck, why is this so hard???

because he doesn’t want to seem needy. or desperate. or like.. some stalker or something.

taking a deep breath and holding it, keith bites his lower lip and clicks on the name. lance’s picture is the first thing to catch his eyes.. god, he’s so hot. the option to text or call comes up. keith opts for the text option and promises that he won’t be lazy or forgetful. how can he be when it’s someone like.. lance.

letting out his breath, keith’s thumbs move across the keyboard rapidly. he doesn’t know what he’s doing, just letting his body take control, and before he knows it, he’s pressing send.

his phone makes the sound of the message being sent and he instantly panics. it’s a simple ‘hi’ but it’s enough to have him freaking out.

“oh… o-oh, my god!??” he yells, throwing his phone across the room. literally. it hits the navy blue painted wall just next to his bedroom door. he freezes, staring at it. like finding a bug on the wall. like maybe if he doesn’t move, his phone can’t see him. and that message will unsend.

one minute turns to two..

three..

keith hasn’t moved. he can’t. he’s precisely frozen with fear. and he feels.. stupid for it.

his body grows hot. he can feel the warmth travel up his neck and to his face, filling out his cheeks. then up to his ears. his heart is throbbing against his ribcage over, and over, and fucking over. he sits up in his bed and tucks his knees to his chest, feeling the thrumming against his thighs. he wraps his arms around himself and frowns. it’s been four minutes..

what if lance doesn’t.. care anymore..? what if lance forgot all about him?

it wouldn’t be the first time someone’s forgotten all about him. it’s pretty easy.

this whole thing was a big fucking mistake.

bzz!

okay, maybe it wasn’t!!

keith hops out of his bed like a madman and rushes over to his most likely cracked phone. he dives to the ground, landing on his stomach and chest, and picks up his phone. he waits two seconds, agitation filling his veins, then flips the phone over.

Guardian Angel Lance 💙

OHHHH MY GODDD!!!!

he texted baaack!!

keith’s heart was beating into fucking next week!!

okay okay! chill out!? just!! CHILL!

keith closes his eyes and holds his breath. he taps on the screen and unlocks it with his four digit password, going straight into messages. lance’s message.

received 8:36 PM

the corner of keith’s mouth lifts up. it wasn’t as scary as he thought..

so they continue to talk through text and get to know each other a little better. they talk about their hectic day. about cars. lance drives a bmw in the color ‘long beach metallic blue.’ a gift from his parents, keith remembers. keith has a motorcycle but it’s sitting in shiro’s garage waiting for keith to fix her up. so for now, he either takes ubers or walks. or has people he knows drive him places. he always offers to drive, but he doesn’t really do well with others in the car watching him. with trucks, it’s different. they talk about their jobs. keith is a certified truck driver but after today, who knows. he’s been a driver for four years and loves it. he hopes to ‘retire’ and find something else soon. lance states he’s in between jobs right now but is trying to save up his money to get his own apartment as soon as he can.

they talk about pets. keith mentions his dog, kosmo, who’s half german shepard and half wolf. or something. keith doesn’t know, he found him as a pup (or a cub?) one day 2 years ago, outside in the rain, all alone. so he scooped him up and took him home and he’s been keith’s trusty companion ever since. they go everywhere together and he’s the greatest guard dog ever. he enjoys sleeping outside of keith’s door, guarding him just in case. and although his apartment doesn’t really allow dogs of kosmo’s size, keith’s landlord is terrified of him and doesn’t say anything. kosmo is perfectly harmless. when he likes you. lance mentions his cat. an orange cat who hates everyone, including him. her name is red because she was born with red-orange fur. he actually sends a picture of her, which prompts keith to send one of kosmo..

lance goes on a rant about how kosmo is nothing close to a dog whatsoever and that his landlord has every reason to be afraid.

keith laughs.

they talk about food. lance has a very strong love for italian food and says that if he were to die, his last meal would be a big bowl of pasta with the butteriest garlic knots and a giant pop. he says his best friend’s family is italian and that her mom makes a special meal for lance’s birthday every year. every year. keith feels dumb after hearing that but answers that fast food is his go to. growing up with a dad who was always busy and not very good at cooking will do that. Lance sympathizes. and promises to teach keith to cook, stating that cooking is in his blood and that in cuba, where’s he’s from, everyone can cook. everyone.

keith holds him to that promise. lance hearts his message.

they talk about video games. lance explains how retro video games are his all time favorite and how he used to play the killbot phantasm series with his siblings growing up. keith didn’t really have time for video games throughout his life so he doesn’t know much. he’s been to the arcade a few times but it was mostly to beat shiro at air hockey. which he always did.

they talk about friends. lance has three best friends named hunk, pidge, and allura. hunk is his age, twenty-six, and is a chef at a restaurant with his wife, shay. pidge is twenty-three, and works for nasa. yep, that nasa. she’s always away so lance barely gets to see her, but she’s the coolest friend in their group for sure. and allura. she’s a twenty-eight year old florist with her uncle coran and her best friend, romelle. keith talks about shiro. his half brother. he used to be an astronaut and even went to mars. yep, that mars. unfortunately, he lost his arm in the process on a mission gone rouge. after his recovery, he went back out in the field for a few more years before he retired. and since the accident, he could retire. very well. he talks about matthew, who’s shiro’s best friend, college and astronaut buddy. he gave up the astronaut gig and is an astrophysics teacher up at some college. and how could he forget his best friend, acxa. she’s twenty-nine and in the military. fighting for the country as a major. but she’s basically the lieutenant commander.

after five hours and almost a hundred text messages, keith dozes off, but not before saying good night to the only person he could talk to for a hundred more hours.

lance hearts the message.

keith falls asleep..

something wet and cold touching keith’s face causes him to stir awake, reaching for the knife underneath his pillow. he opens his eyes to see kosmo there, sitting ever so politely, dark eyes focused on his owner.

a deep breath and keith can relax.

“hey boy,” he greets his dog with a deep, raspy voice. he reaches out and smooths kosmo’s soft black fur back, scratching behind his ears and underneath his chin. “what time is it?”

kosmo only whines, opening his big mouth to clamp down on keith’s wrist and drag him out of bed.

“oh!” keith lets himself be pulled, out of his room and to his kitchen. kosmo stops at the pantry, scratching the door with his claws. keith yawns and stretches his arms over his head. “alright. let’s eat.”

he opens the pantry door and grabs kosmo’s bag of kibble food, setting it on the counter. he pours a little of it inside as the base for the raw food. then he walks over to the fridge to grab some other things to put inside kosmo’s food. he grabs three quail eggs and crushes them up, shells included. he then grabs a container full of cooked cod and grabs a fork, cutting up a slice of that and dropping it into the massive, ceramic dog bowl. rabbit heart and two frozen duck feet are next and keith is surprised he never gags from any of this. he throws in some chicken hearts, a few sardines, a scoop of fermented veggies, some pineapple chunks, and two homemade frozen dog treats, shaped like cute little paws, made from raspberries, beets and parsley. a few drizzles of coconut oil and keith is done. the contents in the bowl could look gross to anyone else.. but keith is used to it. and kosmo loves it. he is a growing boy after all.

walking over to kosmo’s designated eating area, keith places the dog bowl onto a small, propped up dog table. kosmo sits down next to the bowl and waits for keith’s command. keith pets kosmo’s head once more, scratching behind his fluffy ears and underneath his chin before he gives the command.

“eat.” he says. and kosmo digs right in.

it’s ten o’clock, keith discovers, and he’s extremely tired. but he does have the rest of the week off, technically giving him a five day weekend from the accident so he could sleep in all day and watch some crappy tv. or he could go to the gym with shiro and adam.

you could text lance the voice in the back of his brain says.

keith gets a pang of butterflies so hard in his stomach he has to stop the cringe and the second hand embarrassment from preventing himself from doing it.

he could text lance. if lance was awake. yeah.

sure.

keith walks to his room and plops down on his bed, grabbing his phone from behind his pillow. he checks the screen. one message from shiro. one from matt. a notification about the weather today. the highest will be 70 degrees and the lowest will be 50. gotta appreciate this spring weather.

keith opens shiro’s message about meeting up at the gym at 11 and how his head was doing. he opens matt’s message asking if keith would like one of his famous protein smoothies before their workout. keith replies to both.

To: Grandpa brother

keith sighs when he doesn’t see a message from lance. he’s probably still asleep. but that’s okay. keith has no problem texting first. it’s not bad to text first right? it shows he’s interes-.. cares. it shows he cares..

but.. he should take a shower and get ready to go first. yeah. he can do that.

“how’s your head, wet hair?” shiro asks, reaching over to touch keith’s head. keith is quick and slaps his hand.

“im fine.” he grumbles, reaching up to touch his exposed stitches. “matt said he’d patch me up at the gym..”

shiro gives a hum of approval. keith sighs and stares out the window, biting his lower lip. he swirls his mouth around, playing with his tongue ring. it’s sore from keith taking it out for a few hours so he could have a break from it. it doesn’t bother him too much but some days he could do without it. it’s a stupid piercing for him. he was a dumb, angry teenager and knew for sure shiro would be furious if he came home with it. he was right and the result was satisfying. but now he has to live with the hole in his tongue. all because of a little angst.

what a fucking punk, he thinks about his teenage self.

he thinks about lance’s septum piercing and how it had diamonds on it. he considered them to be fake, just a decoration, but when he mentioned the whole rich parents fiasco and seeing the rich neighborhood with his own eyes, keith would not be surprised if they were real diamonds. he wonders if lance got the piercing to piss his parents off, too.

keith smiles to himself, rolling his eyes. he fiddles with the cinnamon lip balm tucked away in the pocket of his sweats.

at the gym, keith, shiro, and matt sit in the men’s locker room. matt is patching up keith’s forehead by applying some soothing ointment and a fresh bandage that’ll stick to his skin for a few hours.

“thanks.” keith mumbles, trying not to squirm. it hurts a bit and he’s itching like crazy.

matt smiles down at him, trying his best to be gentle. “this wouldn’t be the first time i had to patch up a kogane, hm?” he eyes shiro, who is sitting beside them wrapping his hands and knuckles with gauze and tape. he’s going to be boxing today.

“won’t be the last,” shiro answers, now side-eyeing keith. keith sends a smirk his way, looking up to meet eyes with matt. but matt is smiling down at him, stifling a giggle.

an hour and a half in and keith is covered in sweat, drenched in it. he did his regularly scheduled workout but decided to push himself a little more. so he got in the ring with matt. they spared for a little while before matt switched places with shiro to take a phone call. keith visibly tensed at the switch and when shiro noticed, he scoffed.

“what’s with the face?” he asked, putting on the huge punching mitts. keith raised his eyebrow, squinting his eyes.

“i think you know,” he answered, crossing his arms. shiro stands there, staring hard.

“i won’t go easy on you,” he holds his right gloved hand up, “honest.”

keith cracks his neck, rolling his head and shoulders around. just before he can charge at shiro, matt is coming back quite frantically.

“guys!” he yells, pointing to his phone. “m-my sister is back in town!! she’s at my parents house, we gotta go!!” shiro and keith share a look before they look back at matt.

“you have a sister?” keith says, now earning crazy looks from matt and shiro.

“seriously!?” matt sighs, “my baby sister, who i’ve only mentioned a hundred times since we’ve known each other? shiro’s met her.”

“okay, i haven’t,” keith shrugs, twisting his tongue ring around in his mouth. shiro and matt look at one another and share a look that reads ‘oh, maybe he’s right’ and it has keith rolling his eyes. of fucking course he’s right.

“well, do you want to?” matt offers. “my parents are getting her from the airport as we speak and should be arriving in an hour.”

keith shrugs again, removing his red boxing gloves and sweeping his sweat ridden hair back. “i need to shower bad. plus kosmo is waiting for me. rain check?”

matt nods happily as keith and shiro step out of the ring and make their way to the men’s locker room.

keith has to wait outside for matt and shiro to finish their showers. he doesn’t trust gym showers or any shower that’s not at his apartment since his juvie days and that’s that. the car ride back to his apartment is filled with matt telling stories about his sister and what she does. her name is katie and she works for a big space company, just like he did. she’s been gone for two years and will be back for six months to take a small vacation. keith hasn’t met matt’s family, but they’re all really into space and stuff like shiro. keith’s only known matt the same amount of time that he’s know shiro, i.e. 4-ish years, and he’s never really been interested in knowing any of the other holt’s.

because keith didn’t have a family. his dad died when he was nine and his mother abandoned them. he went though the remainder of his teen years in and out of foster homes and when he was thirteen, in and out of juvie. he barely finished high school and college was never an option. he went straight to finding a job and landed three of them at three different mechanic shops around the city. that’s how he afforded his motorcycle parts and his old apartment. he eventually moved to the apartment he is in now and has been living in for four years, along with the trucker job he has now.

that was also around the time when shiro tracked him down, almost beating down his door, to tell him that he’s his half brother and that they have the same father. keith was so in shock that he punched shiro in the face. and then fainted. and then gave himself a stomach virus from all the stress and shiro had to take care of him. literally. add in matt stopping by to meet him and being very much in shock at how much they look alike, and the rest is history.

so yeah, keith’s never really heard of this katie. but her job must be quite the catch if it’s kept her away for two years.

stopping in the parking lot at keith’s apartment, keith grabs his duffle bag and hops out the car.

“thanks for the ride, shiro,” he nods to his brother. “and matthew, for repairing my head.”

matt rolls his eyes as shiro lets out a chuckle, covering his mouth.

“it’s matt and fuck you.” is all he says before he’s flipping keith off. keith smirks and gives him the finger back.

“see ya, keith,” shiro smiles. “take it easy. text if you need anything.”

“sure.” keith nods before they’re driving off and onto the road.

after his much needed shower, keith plops down on the couch in his living room and lets out a loud sigh. he pulls his phone from his pocket and checks the screen.

but.. it is a party. and don’t people usually bring dates to parties???

wait, how would he even get there!? and how many people are going to be there?? what does he even wear!? it’s springtime but is everyone going to be in their bathing suits or bbq attire??

and what about matt’s offer to meet his family?? his sister? keith can’t blow that off. he’d feel too bad. but maybe he can do both! he can quick swing by lance’s party for a few hours and then ask shiro to pick him up and go and meet matt’s family and sister.

5-10 🤭

it's always you at the scene of the crime

5. worst discord server and why

the answer to this is actually not in spidey, it's this one klance server i was in back in ye old voltron days that was absolutely horrible to exist in as an Allura lover/Allurance shipper. when she died, and klance didn't become canon (because it was never going to), things got nasty and i will freely admit i am still bitter about it! nothing made me dislike klance faster or more thoroughly than klance fans.

6. which ship fans are the most annoying?

anyone with a Tony Stark ship, really, though obviously the one I see the most nonsense from is irondad. Tony fans are, 90% of the time, there for Tony, and really focus on him to the exclusion of any of the other characters, including the one that he is partnered/shipped with. as someone who writes for and interacts with irondad because i love both Tony and Peter, who wants to explore them and their extended universes, it fucking sucks to have to wade through post after post that grossly misrepresents or misinterprets Tony, and treats Peter as a prop more than a character.

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

having said the above: Tony Stark you will always be famous! none of these people who pretend you're a soft uwu dad who's never done anything wrong could make me hate you, because that's NOT you!

i don't know there are any characters i "hate" per se, but certainly there are ones i will AVOID because the fandom is so terrible. in Spidey, though he's not a Spidey character, that's Harley Keener. i have zero feelings toward his canon character because he was a child and then an easter egg, and basically has no canon character. but i will avoid him at all costs in fic/tumblr tags, because his fans use him to completely supplant and erase actual Spider-Man characters, like Ned and MJ and Flash.

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

MJ WATSON WOULD NOT WORSHIP PEPPER POTTS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

MJ "i want to get a little light protesting in before lunch" Watson, MJ "so really this is all your fault" Watson, MJ "i don't want to tour a building made by slaves" Watson would NOT be falling over herself to talk about how "cool" Pepper Potts is.

fandom loves to drop MJ into interactions with Tony where she's snarky and rude and makes "eat the rich" jokes. but then they'll turn around and also make her look up to Pepper as a girl boss.

and it's because people's aren't representing her as anti-billionaire or anti-establishment as a genuine reflection on her character and how she might behave meeting Tony Stark or Pepper Potts. she's an audience avatar to spout a couple memes and jokes, then is unceremoniously shuffled off stage left so that Tony and Peter can cuddle on the couch or whatever. it's about making Tony look cool and chill for "putting up" with her, and to make Peter embarrassed so that Tony can reassure him.

9. worst part of canon

Far From Home, beloathed. its sins are innumerable but to sum them up in as concise of terms as possible: it represents so much wasted potential. we could have had post-blip meta! we could have had the FOS as more than a joke! we could have had actual development of the petermj relationship! and yes we could have had an actual examination of the impact of Tony Stark and his legacy on Peter and his life!

WE COULD HAVE HAD MAY PARKER

instead we got a kidz bop european road trip movie and only head fakes to anything deeper going on between any of the characters

10. worst part of fanon

here's the thing: the idea of a community of people coming together to collaboratively fill in the blanks of a piece of art is, conceptually, beautiful, and exactly what fandom should be about. doing collaborative, generative creative work is genuinely valuable, and an important part of community building in creative spaces.

but the relationship that people have to fanon, is, frankly, completely fucking whack. modern fandom doesn't use fanon to generate collaborative and creative elaborations, variations, and interpretations of canon: they use it to supplant canon. popular fanon goes beyond being just an idea that a lot of people like; it starts being treated as law. people start interpreting canon through the lens of fanon, and in doing so treat the canonical text not as a work of art that deserves consideration and interpretation, but as a static and authoritative source whose purpose is to be excavated for "proof" of fanon, and anything that exists outside of fanon or in opposition to it is to be dismissed, ignored, and denied.

there are plenty of people who will happily admit they don't pay attention to canon and prefer fanon, and while that isn't my preferred way to engage with art, i have way less of a problem with that. people who engage with the original work through a fanon lens first, in an attempt to "prove" fanon, aren't seeking alternative interpretations or elaborating on the art. they're not even picking and choosing the things they like and the things they don't. what they are doing is working backwards from a foregone conclusion to pretend like art has one fixed, immutable interpretation, and that interpretation is the only correct or acceptable one.

the only proof you need of this tendency is the way people lose their fucking minds when you question popular fanon, or, god forbid, point out how it is directly contradicted or disproven by canon. it's a shitty way to engage with fandom as a community, and it's a shitty way to engage with art, and i have no patience for it.

Yearbooks!!

I don’t know if this is a school AU, buuut forget canon, klance is obviously a power couple.

Also, my phone is glitching REALLY badly, so this post might look a liiittle wonky.

————————————————————-

Sure, Keith was never exactly popular at any of the schools that he’s ever gone to.

However, when yearbook time comes around, everyone is shoving theirs in his face.

He isn’t used to having anyone wanting his attention, so he always ends up making mega-intricate doodles across entire pages in hopes of pleasing others.

When he was younger and wanted people’s attention but didn’t know how to get it, he would draw in hopes of making others like him enough to befriend him. Anyway, he quickly learned that nothing was ever going to make others accept him, so instead he draws those pictures in their yearbooks out of spite.

Here, you’re gonna try to ignore my existence? Well jokes on you, now my art takes up a whole page in your stupid book, so there. I totally don’t feel any hurt, nope.

It does give him a shred of joy to see others admiring his work, but he knows at the end of the day they no idea who he is.

So why is this random cute guy with the blue eyes hugging him after seeing Keith’s doodle?

“You know what? You’re pretty cool for a guy with a mullet.”

A pause, and then he mumbles,

“Scratch that, you’re just pretty in general”

2 months later, and Keith suddenly famous throughout the school as Lance McClain (aka king of altea academy)’s emo boyfriend.

Suddenly, it’s common to see the star football player with his arm wrapped around Keith’s waist.

Keith’s fiery personality is brought out, and together they have absolutely everyone wrapped around their fingers.

Oh how the tables have turned.

klance fan fic where lance is a singer famous and keith(who has no idea who lance is) is a manager at lance’s favorite restaurant and he constantly argues flirts with keith. which keith hated at first but grows to enjoy and recuperate. and they slowly fall for each other even go on a few date. (and by dates i mean keith would close down the restaurant and keiths chef hunk would make them something special and they would enjoy their time together as if they didn’t already just spend the whole day in the restaurant.) keith has never felt like this before and was scared of letting someone in at first but the more time they spent together the more he found himself open to the idea

one day a new hire at the restaurant is being keiths shadow (a shadow is a new employee who follows a more experienced employee to learn from them) and she sees lance and freaks out and keith is really confused and the girl turns to him and is like “How do you not know who this is?!” and lance is practically begging the girl to not tell him, trying to change the topic and the girls like “This Lance Mcclain!! He is one of my favorite singers!!! and keith is like “what the fuck” and lance looks like he’s about to cry he gets up and is like “i gotta go” keith fires the girl goes home and looks up lance to find he is one of the top artist of 2222 he’s even acted in some movies. keith is like really fucking confused bc lance likes to brag but has never once brought this up

so hes goes to work the next day hoping lance would come but he doesn’t not the next day or the next. He texted and called but never heard back. In fact keith never hears from lance again until 2 months later theres a meet and greet in his town that he goes to, marches right up to that desk and lance almost jumps out of his skin when he sees him and keith planned to say something snarky and rude but he falters and is like “why didnt you come back?” lance is like “i didnt want you to know” and keith is like “why this seems like a really big part of your life… i thought… i thought we told each other stuff like this” and lance is like “i… we cant talk about this right now” and turns to his bodyguards pidge and allura has them escort him back stage.

at the end of the event lance comes back there and sits down next to keith whos done nothing but pout the 2 hours he was back there and lance is like “stop frowning youll get wrinkles” which is something he used to say all the time to keith when they first met. Keith cant help a small sad smile that forms he looks at lance trying to will himself not to cry and is like, “why… why didnt you come back? was i not good enough for the famous Lance Mcclain?” and lance is like “NO NO NO thats not it! i just… i didnt want you to know bc i liked how we were. i wasnt The Famous Lance Mcclain with you i was just lance and you liked me for me and thats all ive wanted for so long.” and keith snorts and lance is like “i just bared my soul to you why are you laughing!!”and keith is like “lance it doesn’t matter what you do bc thats not who you are. your job doesn’t define you. you could be an fbi assassin and you’d still the be lance who choked on mash potatoes which i still dont know how thats even possible” “Hey i thought we agreed to never bring that up again!” “the point is lance i dont think any differently about you now that i know what you do. you’re still the annoying stupid lance ive grown to love.” and they kiss and its super romantic and cute!

“and besides youve always been famous to me.”

“awww keith-“

“- a famous pain in my ass”

Klance celebrity AU

prompt, not a fic, but kinda lengthy explanation of premise

Keith is lead guitar of a famous band with lead singer/2nd guitar Shiro, drummer Pidge, keyboardist Romelle, and bassist Allura. They sell out concerts and Keith can’t walk outside without a disguise or he’ll get recognized, and possibly swarmed.

He’s the musician who has the least to say in all interviews but as a result most of the fanbase is thirsty for him. He has the most followers on twitter even though he tweets maybe once a month.

While the other band members have had occasionally dates and relationships with fans, just shy of being groupies, Keith refuses. Any fan who hits on him is an instant turnoff. He’s walked away from signings and meet and greets because of these fans.

There’s a literal reddit devoted to collecting social media posts by disappointed fans telling their stories that got them snubbed by him. There’s so many.

The band and their agency knows too well that Keith can be “difficult” but it’s not unjustified. He hates being reduced to nothing but fame. He has principles and if someone violates them he’s done. He just wants to be treated like a human without being placed on a pedestal and objectified.

Keith’s so famous he’s almost numb to it at this point. He has a certain tolerance level for doe-eyed fangirls. As long as they don’t mention their crush, or make any sort of advances toward him, he can let it slide. He can tell instantly from their behavior if they’re into him. But if they try to pretend they’re not, then he pretends as well.

Keith is 26 and hasn’t been in any sort of relationship since the band’s early days, when he was 21. He was in a relationship that carried over from pre-fame to fame. And that transition is what broke them up. He’s had a date here or there, but his love life has been non existent for the most part.

Shiro is the only one who will still try to push him in that area, believing that some of Keith’s frustration stems from an absence of such a relationship. Every time Keith eventually snaps at him, and storms off. Allura, Romelle and Pidge gave up a long time ago and always excuse themselves from the room if Shiro brings up the topic to Keith.

Outside of time with his bandmates, Keith is always alone. And he thinks he prefers it that way.

Enter Lance.

Lance is an outgoing social butterfly who splits his time between teaching latin ballroom dances and flying helicopters for either news or police, depending on the day.

He knows the name of every pop music queen that ever existed from the 70s to today. Any musician outside that realm might as well be a stranger to him.

So that’s how Lance, pop celeb aficionado, can come face to face with A-lister Keith Kogane with a platinum record band, and have no clue that he’s anybody.

Keith frequents hole-in-the-wall bars that he thinks have the lowest chance of getting recognized, or if he is recognized, not being approached. It’s at one of these bars where Keith accidentally spills Lance’s drink on his lap, and receives an angry lecture.

Keith responds with a laugh of disbelief and asks the question he never asks when he wants anonymity: “Don’t you know who I am?”

Which doesn’t faze Lance who mocks him as a result saying he has snowflake syndrome and get over himself.

After a good 5 minute one sided conversation, Keith, also unfazed by Lance’s criticisms because he’s in disbelief that he wasn’t recognized, proceeds to buy Lance two more drinks to make up for the one he spilled.

Lance ever the easy to please immediately forgives him and they spend the rest of the night drinking and talking about stupid shit.

Keith hasn’t had a conversation like this in years, and it has his heart pounding in his chest and smiling every time he tells a story that makes Lance laugh. They drink and talk until the bar closes at 2am to which Lance insists Keith shouldn’t drive home, and spend the night at his place, just a few blocks away.

Keith agrees without hesitation, and back at Lance’s apartment they talk and drink for another hour on the couch. They only fall silent when they realize how close their faces are to each other, and lean in and kiss. It starts out slow and tender but Keith quickly becomes ravenous which Lance welcomes. Keith was painfully hot in his eyes and to be kissing him and under him lit his senses on fire.

Keith manages to keep his fame a secret from Lance for their first couple meetups. He’s just thoroughly enamored by this man who only knows him as a stranger from a bar. It feels real, and new and exciting.

my top 5 favorite klance fanfics ‼️

so i finally decided to drop some fic recs! let me know if you like them and u can always ask me for more! also let me know if you want specific prompts or anything!!

this is one of the first klance fanfics i ever read and i still reread it it is literally so good! it’s a secret relationship fic and i just love the way keith and lance interact in it!

summary: Lance rolled his eyes. “Not like you know anything about love, Pidge podge.”And you do?” Pidge questioned. Lance’s eyes subconsciously glanced over to Keith who was stubbornly looking straight ahead, but you could tell he was listening closely. “I’d like to think so.” ````````````````````Or five times Lance was jealous but couldn't say anything and the one time that he punches someone in the face.

CAMP COUNSELOR AU!! i really liked this one because it was one of those fanfics where you can really feel like how much they love each other plus i really like seeing keith pine over how good lance is with kids. also it gives u a pjo feel which is nice

summary: Keith reluctantly becomes the counselor for the Red Cabin at Camp Voltron, a summer camp in the middle of buttfuck nowhere that his older brother Shiro has worked at for years. Already unhappy with the current position that he is in, Keith prepares himself for a boring, sweaty, miserable summer; and his frustration only grows when he meets the counselor for the Blue Cabin- an insufferable asshole with a horrible sense of humor, a devilish smirk, an inexplicable animosity towards the Red Cabin, and a smile that literally looks like the sun. Needless to say Keith is really, really unprepared for the next three months.

i read this one pretty recently and i actually really liked it. it’s a good boy lance/bad boy keith one but it also focused on things like questioning your sexuality and college life! also drummer keith!

summary: Lance is 100%, without a doubt, straight. He has the perfect girlfriend and has never wanted anything more. But suddenly his world is being turned upside down by the boy playing the drums at his local bar--a boy who happens to be very good looking, very gay, and very very interested in Lance. aka: Good-Boy Lance has a crisis when he meets Keith because he's so damn attractive, and Keith is a little ho that is way too promiscuous and open about his sexuality. The become friends. Confusion and sexual tension ensue.

ACTOR AU!! i love this one because it so unbelievably funny and i love how keith and lance have to deal with the klance fandom in it also there is leakira in it too!! it’s really just a good story!

summary: Lance is getting his big American debut on a new T.V series called Voltron. He's excited and nervous about how amazingly talented and famous his cast members are. But most importantly Lance is anticipating meeting his character -Leandro's- love interest in the show. Who happens to played by the be mega famous, mega hot Keith Kogane. But due to a misunderstanding during their first encounter, Lance now thinks Keith is the biggest jerk alive. Keith now has to try and fix it, for the sake of the show, and also for the sake of their on screen romance, which may start venture off screen as well.

THIS ONE IS SO GOOD! it’s a mind meld accident one but it’s also a soulmate au! i really enjoyed this fic i read it a while ago but it is still one of my all time favorites!

summary: It was just a simple mind-meld exercise. But something seems to happen in the middle and now Lance and Keith can feel each other's emotions. Lance realizes that Keith actually desperately wants to be open and vulnerable around people and Keith realizes that Lance just wants someone to notice him. They try to navigate their new reality.

Early bird and Night owl Klance but like....literally jdfksdfjdsf

Like a winged/avian AU where Lance is a morning bird and Keith a nocturnal one. And many of the birds in their area share rumors about that lone dark bird that they’re scared of approaching, but Lance is as always, too curious and even if he knows how sleepy he gets when night falls, he still risks going out just to see the night bird (maybe because he’d seen a flash of beautiful dark wings that one night, when he woke up by chance, or maybe fate).

But a sleepy Lance meant a very unguarded Lance, so just as he spots the night bird going out of his nest and stretching his graceful wings, another bird comes from behind Lance to attack him. Fortunately, the night bird saves him (cue a very fascinated Lance), although he ends up with an injury to one of his wings. Lance is quick to help though, determinedly shaking off his sleepiness to get some herbs they can use for the night bird’s wound. That was how he and Keith first met.

And they eventually grow closer, their meetings usually starting with a very energetic Lance going to Keith’s tree to give him food or show him trinkets he’s gathered from the human town nearby. And although Keith was famous for how grumpy he gets in the mornings (he may have snarled once or twice when the other birds absentmindedly got too noisy around his home), he doesn’t do anything more than grumble in his sleep when he senses Lance’s presence. “You don’t always have to wake up when I’m here, you know,” Lance keeps telling him, assuring him that he’s familiar enough to know where Keith stores his food so he can just put it there when he visits. But Keith, eyelids drooping, shakes his head. “No, I want to help,” Keith says. And I like seeing you, is what he doesn’t say.

And when the sky starts turning dark, Lance is quick to start yawning. “Go home,” Keith tells him. “I’m fine with five more minutes,” he says back. Because how can Lance go home when he’s way too comfortable leaning on Keith’s soft wings, or with one of those dark wings covering him from the evening cold?

(And of course they fall in love, some time after realizing dusk and dawn have become both their favorite times of day. ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉ∀`)･ﾟ･｡)

#Raiyakun!! Rambles #klance #hello welcome to Raiya pulling out an AU from the oddest prompt jhdskjhfksdf #Went with my HC of Lance as the morning person and Keith as the night one ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉ∀`)･ﾟ･｡#People: talk about who in Klance is the early bird/night owl #Me: okay but what if AU

OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh

I just thought of a Klance AU and I need someone to draw this or write a fanfic of this please!!! (Cause I know I'm gonna draw this)

Pop Idol Klance AU

Lance is a famous pop idol

Keith is his personal assistant

Allura is his pop idol friend,making Romelle her personal assistant

Pidge and Hunk are always in the front row no matter what

Shiro is Keith's friend that gets a front row seat every time because Lance knows that Shiro is important to Keith

And what about Adam,you ask? HE IS LANCE'S MANAGER AND HIM AND SHIRO FALL IN LOVE

And the biggest hc I have for my AU is that anytime Allura and Lance goof off Keith and Romelle just look at each other and are like "omg I'm in love with an idiot"

secret relationship fic recs

secret relationship fics is my favorite type of fic, but there’s not nearly enough so here are some for those who are starving like me </3

you’re lucky that’s what i like by zenstrike

(works: 35 | 183,992 words | T)

we don’t need to keep it hush by orphan_account

(chapters: 1/1 | 5525 words | T)

snuggle muffin (6:38): haha i know right

snuggle muffin (6:38): i love you too

Pidge’s eyes widened, and she audibly gasped.

No fucking way.

Don’t Read the Comments by thesoftsoobin

(chapters: 1/1 | 3962 words | G)

Klance AU Month Day 10 / YouTuber AU

Famous vlogger Lance McClain and not-nearly-as-famous reaction YouTuber Keith Kogane have been keeping their relationship out of the public eye for a while now. But it seems they've made a huge mistake in the background of one of their friends's videos.

Keith keeps his eyes trained behind Adam, where he and Lance are sitting on the living-room couch in the distance, watching something on TV. Lance has his arm around Keith, he leans in to whisper something that makes Keith laugh, and sure enough, they kiss.

Keith’s heart nearly jumps out of his chest when it happens.

“Shit,” he whispers. He takes a couple sweeping steps over to Lance’s bed, eyes still on his phone. Shiro keeps talking to Adam, and they’re still in the background, Lance nuzzling his head into Keith’s neck. “Shit!”

The Little Things by faerietailed

(chapters: 1/1 | 1675 words | G)

On Friday Hunk can hear the two of them behind him as they walk to the control room, and he swears he hears something akin to a kiss, and Keith whispering.

“That’s 10-7, Cargo Pilot. Try catching up.”

When Hunk turns around Lance is bright red, and there's a foot of space between him and Keith.

Or maybe he's imagining things?

mi corazón de cenicero by lemoninagin

(chapters: 1/1 | 10637 words | E)

At the Garrison, they’re nothing more than two apparent strangers, two classmates in different fields with different goals in mind. Two people with different social circles and interests, two people just trying to get by in life.

But during the night, the town belongs to them.

i wanna love you (but i don't know if i can) by beautifulbane

(chapters: 1/1 | 16376 words | T)

So, of course, that was when Hunk had said, "You know, it's really good that we're all friends here. I feel like it always gets awkward when two people in a group start dating, you know?"

"Well, I don't think we have to worry about that with this group," Pidge had piped up, "I love you all, but there's no way in hell I'd date any of you."

Everyone else had murmured their agreement, except for Lance and Keith, who had shared a look before trying to discreetly scoot away from the other.

(Or, Lance and Keith decide to date in secret so their relationship doesn't make their teammates uncomfortable. It goes about as well as is to be expected.)

Okay, post-s8 Klance time

You’d think the Paladins would become like, insanely famous, right

So naturally, people from all over the world want to know more about them

This leads to people requesting interviews with the Paladins/Atlas Crew/Garrison etc

Lance obviously loves all the attention cause he’s not depressed (frick you farmer life) and convinces the team to do interviews

They do a big group interview talking about their journey in Space and their experiences in war etc

The interviewer asks if any romances blossomed within the team and everyone just kinda looks at Lance

“I might be the only one, but I definitely fell in love during our time out there.”

The interviewer nods and is like “So you’ve come to terms with your past love for Allura?”

And he just kinda blinks and he’s like “oh, right, I guess I liked her too”

And everyone just stares at him

He’s like oh wait I definitely shouldn’t have said that

Pidge and Hunk are already sharing evil looks that definitely mean they’re going to torture him for information later

Shiro clears his throat and he’s like “well, uh, although we really only had one couple form throughout our journey, many friendships were born that we will always treasure”

Hunk then is asked to talk a bit about his and Shay’s new relationship and Lance is just sitting there blushing the whole time because he realized what he said

After the interview Lance is asked to come back another time for a solo interview which he reluctantly accepts

He comes back a few weeks later and it’s mostly about his view on the team dynamic and how he felt about some decisions people made throughout their time in space and eventually they ask the dreaded question of “so who was this other person you mentioned having feelings for?” Cause the internet/world needs to know

“Uhhh, well, I don’t want to share specifics, but they were incredibly brave and I was constantly in awe of their abilities”

Lance ends up raving about them for most of the interview but people still can’t figure out who it is because he’s being incredibly vague

“Did you meet this person or alien in Space or did you already know them?”

Lance knows he can either lie or tell a vague truth, and he chooses the latter just for the sake of not having to keep up the lie in the future

“I, uh, already knew them, but not too well. We grew closer in Space but were often separated, so I didn’t think it would ever go anywhere. I surprised myself with my love for them. It was so sudden and completely uncalled for that I didn’t think it would even be possible for them to even view me as more than a friend”

The interviewer is picking up what lance is trying not to put down and shares a knowing glance with the cameraman/woman

“So you and him had more of a friendship dynamic?”

“For sure. He-“

Lance realizes he just revealed the gender on accident by agreeing with the interviewer who looks very smug

They end the interview soon after and Lance barely makes it back to the Garrison before all the calls from friends and family start coming in

They’re all trying to get him to tell them who it is but he refuses

Pidge and Hunk find him in a lounge and started hassling him with questions

He doesn’t answer any of them but his expression reveals enough

The two share a look and then walk off, Pidge saying “I guess I’ll just have to tell Keith you’re in love with him” before she disappears around the corner leaving Lance to scramble after them and try to prevent Hunk and Pidge from telling anyone

They run all the way to Shiro’s office to tell him, who already guessed as much just from watching Lance interact with the other boy

When Lance catches up word has spread to a lot of people who all said they already kind of knew

Lance runs to find Keith, finally locating him after a while of searching on the roof where the Garrison trio had once watched him break into the place Shiro was being held

Lance asks him if he’s watched the interview, to which he just nods and gives him a small smile

“They must be special, huh.”

“You have no idea”

(Sunset scene parallels anyone??)

Lance tries to be slick and convince Keith that it’s some alien they met even though that makes no sense

Keith just believes him because man his heart has been broken enough times by Lance what’s one more time

Slowly realizing that Keith seems to becoming more and more distant the longer Lance talks he asks him if he ever had someone special while they were in space

Keith softly smiles and nods

“He didn’t feel the same, though. And I made some pretty stupid mistakes while we were out there. We grew apart, and it was all my fault.”

Lance doesn’t even care that he’s not the person Keith is talking about he just wants Keith to be happy

So he grabs Keith and hugs him, telling him he’s sorry

He pulls away to look at Keith who has tears in his eyes, but he’s smiling

“It’s okay, Lance. I think he’s happier now, his life here on Earth being everything he wanted while were out there fighting. He missed the ocean, his family, his people... he’s home.”

Lance kisses him right then and there, because he just wants Keith to feel loved

Keith pulls away and stares at him for a bit looking shocked

“Why...?”

“Because this person must’ve been stupid not to fall in love with you. Or maybe I was the stupid one, loving someone so clearly more incredible than me.”

“You deserve the world, Keith. The entire universe. I wish I would’ve told you more when we were in Space. Even if it was unrequited, you still should’ve known that someone loved you.”

Keith pulls him back in for another kiss and then whispers

“It wasn’t unrequited.”

Quiznak, that got long- anyways, apologies for rambling for so long but I wish this would’ve happened and wanted to write it out as a hc :)

tag gameeeeeee

tagged by @strohller27 !!!!!!!! Thanks George~

this is a somewhat long tag game, and I have no self control about how much I talk about myself so I'm gonna put it under the cut :)

1. why did you choose your url?

I’m a mathgeek! that's it! Starting in elementary school I went to the junior high school for math classes in the morning, and then at the end of junior high I went to the high school for my math classes again, and was always in math with the grade older than me. I took AP Calc as a junior and got a 5 on the AP test, so it kinda fits I guess. I actually made the moniker for my first email account when I was 13 so I could make a facebook account.

2. any side blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them.

LMAO I LITERALLY HAVE 4. Anyway first I have two writing blogs: @i-am-rmt for poetry, and @iamrmt for prose. They act as catalogues of my writing! The prose one is basically inactive, but seeing as it’s simply a catalogue I’m not gonna delete it. Then there is @yiling-who my side blog for The Untamed - yeah that Chinese drama that took tumblr by storm. Big thanks to @hoebutnotreally for convincing me to watch it! Lastly is my side blog for DKB @dkbtho . DKB is a rookie kpop group that I’m currently obsessed with! They’re so cute and they self produce and also do all their own choreography and are such skilled individuals and also are so funny

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

This year on November 23rd will be the 10 year birthday of mathgeek101!

4. do you have a queue tag?

“qute” it’s on sooo many of my posts because I almost exclusively post from my queue..

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

both my sisters had tumblrs, and I guess I just thought “neat, I’ll make one too.” I remember sitting on the couch during thanksgiving break while my family was watching Harry Potter (the seventh movie maybe?) and designing my blog

6. why did you choose your icon?

oh it’s me! My icon has always been me, because this blog is just a messy collection of my interests. My friend (@hoebutnotreally) did my makeup and hair and we took pictures (I posted some here too!)

7. why did you choose your header?

oh it’s me again! I took that picture on a whim with a silly snapchat filter and I thought it turned out neat, so I hid my icon on mobile and I think my blog looks pretty neat that way.

8. what’s your post with the most notes?

9. how many mutuals do you have?

I think it’s my Mushu Zuko post still... I know there’s a way to check, but I’ll just go with that post for now.

OKAY so I’m back after checking and actually it’s my post about reading Call Me, Beep Me - THE klance voltron fic

idk man is there a way to check that, too? I don’t really interact with my mutuals, and I don’t really get the huge hype around them? like, yeah, I appreciate my mutuals, and I love seeing your posts (oh my friend made a post!). I wouldn’t mind interacting with them more, I’m just awkward and suck at talking to people - even people I know in real life and have to make plans with. But all in all, if a mutual unfollows me, I’m not gonna have a meltdown or anything

10. how many followers do you have?

429! I love you guys! When I post about my followers I always tag it with “i love you guys”

11. how many people do you follow?

I’m following 147 blogs.

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

does the Mushu and Zuko post count? Does “hockey is one letter away from hickey” count? I also made a post about Poe Dameron vs Edgar Allan Poe and Po from Kung Fu Panda... you decide. I tag all my original posts with “mine”

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

too much! jk I’m on it very frequently, but lately I’ve been watching youtube videos over scrolling on tumblr

14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

nah. Once I did have someone reply to a post I made somewhat rudely, and I replied to them and they didn’t say anything, so if that counts, then I WON.

15. how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

eh, they’re pretty dumb, and I’m pretty neutral about them, but I also understand that it’s problematic.

17. do you like ask games?

LOVE them. sometimes I wish I was a famous blogger so people would ask me stuff from ask games, but I also don’t reblog them that often.
