#just thinking about keith being part alien so it can lull me to sleep

[klanceogies]

hc that growing up many different educators in keith'd life believed he was neurodivergent cause his learning curve growing up was different from other kids and how he socialized and shit but he never got a proper diagnosis of anything. fast forward he finds out he is a fucking alien and he is like "i don't think there is anything more divergent than being HALF ALIEN. pretty sure that diverges from your typical human brain like of fucking course everyone says i'm neurodivergent. pretty much everything about me is divergent"

Lance’s question was directed at both of them. Keith nuzzling into his boyfriend’s chest

“Babe. You don’t need to ask me. She’s your mum. It’s okay to want her here”

Coran’s smile lessened a little

“I’m sorry that’ll have to wait until you’ve regained some of your strength. It’s taxing enough on you, as well as controlling your ego. Rest today, then I’ll bring her by tomorrow”

Lance’s body seemed to slump without moving. He might not be close to Krolia, but Mami meant the world to Lance. If Lance needed her there, he’d pick her up himself

“I understand”

He shouldn’t have to

“I know this is hard. Krolia questioned me already over your condition. She was quite angry at being able to help. Until I’m certain there won’t be a mishap, we must air on the side of caution. If Keith was not your partner I wouldn’t have allowed him to stay as it was”

“You let everyone visit last night”

There was bite Keith’s tone as he pointed out the obvious

“As Lance was sleeping...”

“Babe, it’s okay. He knows that if something did happen, I’d be devastated. If he says it’s safer for us to wait, then I’ll have to be patient”

“It’s not fair”

“It’s not, but I’ve got you... honestly, I’d probably sleep through her visiting. The pair of us would be snoring our heads off. Coran can I have that injection now? I wanna take a nap”

Lance was trying to hard. If he could see his boyfriend’s face he knew he’d see that fake smile. This sucked

“Sure, my boy. Just a quick jab and then I’ll be on my way”

As quick as Coran appeared he was gone again. Keith still mad at him, and Lance knew it

“Babe, it’s okay”

“It’s not. She’s your mum. You should be able to have your mum here. You don’t have to hide how much you want her”

“No, but I do have to be careful... I really do want to see her... but not if I could hurt her”

“You wouldn’t do that”

“You can’t say that for sure”

“I can because it’s you. I can go...”

“No. No. I’ll see her tomorrow. I don’t know what I’m going to tell her”

“The truth?”

“I know that much... Keith, are you really sure you’re okay with this? You’re not trying to put my wants first?”

“No, babe. I’m scared and I have no idea what a father really is. I lost my dad too soon. And I’m probably going to be the worst dad ever...”

“You? I’m probably going to drop the baby”

“You’d catch them with those reflexes of yours”

Lance snorted at him

“I don’t think normal people make these jokes”

“Fuck normal. You’re going to be a good dad”

“No... we’ll be good dads together... I don’t want to lose it now I know they exist”

“Me neither... I’m scared too”

“I know you are... I’m just sorry I’m so sleepy. I want to talk to you better but I can barely keep my eyes open”

“That’s okay. Get some rest. I’m not leaving your side”

Lance was internally freaking the fuck out. He was pregnant. Baby on board. Life growing inside of him. His own personal version of that Alien movie where it burst out his stomach. There was a baby in him. Keith and his wonder dick had proved he definitely had great swimmers in there and now he was up the duff, bun in the oven... Pregnant.

In a lot of ways he was grateful for being so fatigued. He really did want to talk to Keith, but he was so damn tired that sleeping meant it was put off. Keith couldn’t possibly be as okay as he was making out. This wasn’t something small. This was like a whole life inside of him. They’d been careful... but not careful enough... and now he had a baby growing inside of him... and it was weird. Keith’s birthday weekend was approaching. He’d been looking forward to that too much, but if he went hiking, Keith would probably fret too much to enjoy himself. And then there were the others to consider. What did he tell them and when did he tell them? Pidge and Hunk were physical people. Pidge would drop into his lap for cuddles and Hunk would sweep him off his feet. That’s how it was. How did he tell that was a no go? And how was his baby even alive after what happened? What if they’d been hurt? What if something was wrong with them? He couldn’t stop the continuous bombardment in his sleepy head.

Keith was snoring against him. His poor boyfriend had to see him hurt again... and it’s been bad from what he’d said. He’d hurt him again. Scared him. He’d scared him so many times... but he... When this all sank in, what would he really say? When the shock was over they were left with the truth, would Keith still want a baby with him? Or would he ask him to abort? His damn stupid mind was already attached to the tiny thing knowing it existed. Part of him screamed with happiness, the dirty rotten traitor part. He wanted to be rational, but the idea of having a baby with Keith, though a surprise, was something he’d wanted long into the future when everything was over... He couldn’t... He wanted... He wanted to keep the baby... but he couldn’t do that if Keith wasn’t ready. This might be his body, but Keith was his heart and soul.

He’d had kind of the same talk with Coran when Coran had brought him lunch. Coran back and forth between being happy for them being realistic. His decisions no longer were purely his to make... He wondered if his mother felt the same. He was 3 years older than when she’d had him. Her brood already full of 4 mischievous kids. Kids were loud and messy. Scraped knees and blood noses came with the territory. Would their baby be fully human, or would it pop out with little bat wings and ears? Would he be able to cope? And would there ever be that urge for blood and to feed on them? It made him feel sick thinking about it.

But... he kept coming back to it. He was attached. This little life he and Keith had made. Their love had made a whole other human. No. More like their lust. They liked where they were. Keith job was finally making him happy. Lance was the one overthinking things, always stalling and pulling away. Acting his age went out of the window when Keith was around. His boyfriend had had a pretty shitty life. They both had. They both had the emotional scars to prove it. He wanted this baby. But he could very well lose it and all of this could be for nothing. Keith would put on a brave face, tell him it wasn’t his fault. When it would be. He didn’t want to lose it. He didn’t want to fall asleep and wake up covered in his own blood. He didn’t want to cause everyone pain... but most of all he was so fucking tired of being like this. With all these thoughts. What would his Mami think? She’d thought she’d never see him fall in love. She loved Keith. But this would drive his family further apart... and he was so sick of that. Luis wouldn’t understand... None of them ever could. They were human. He wasn’t. No matter how much he tried. If he was human, he wouldn’t be pregnant. His body would change. His stomach would round out. Would Keith still love him then? When he no longer looked like this? He’d never deny Keith access to his child. He’d never take that away from him, even if they didn’t work out. But would he be filled with longing for Keith every time he saw him? Would he cope with Keith moving on? He knew he wouldn’t. Keith was so fucking good to him. Too good to him. He was amazed how much love Keith had for him, especially seeing how much he’d hated him to begin with. If Keith had pulled that trigger, none of this would have happened. He’d never know what it was to love someone like he loved Keith. He didn’t want to hold Keith back. This thing with Honerva... he’d leave. He’d leave when it came time to go after her... and Lance wouldn’t stop him if that’s where he needed to be. Keith had been wounded by the loss of Krolia... Lance had Coran. Coran, Allura, Matt, Rieva, Hunk, Pidge, and his Mami... would Keith feel replaced?

Keith let out a rather loud nasally snore, his fingertips digging into Lance’s stomach. His boyfriend was so incredibly adorable. So soft and kind, under his anger loaf outside. He’d come a long way from when he thought he didn’t know how to people very well. He wasn’t the problem, it was the people around him who didn’t care what he had to say. Shiro and Adam did the best they could, but now Keith had a whole bunch of friends who loved him for him and his confidence had grown. He didn’t lurk in group chat anymore, sometimes even initiating conversation. He loved that. That Keith was opening up to them fully. He was so proud of his boyfriend... and now he was carrying his baby. Their baby.

Letting Keith’s snoring lull him back to sleep, he fell asleep still holding Keith’s hand.

Trans Lance Part 16

Lance’s excitement is beginning to turn to nerves as he sits on a hovering hospital bed dressed in a fancy alien hospital gown that is fully equipped to monitor his vitals. He reaches out a slightly clammy hand to hold Keith’s while one of the alien nurses explains the aftercare process to Lance, Keith, and Coran to make sure that Lance’s chest will heal without any complications.

Keith smiles soothingly at Lance in one of the rare instances where he actually shows emotions in front of people he has just met. Lance takes a deep breath then returns the smile.

He isn’t sure why he is so nervous. This is something he’s looked forward to for most of his life. This should be the biggest relief he’s ever felt but instead his mind is full of anxiety and his stomach swirls with uneasiness. This will be a huge change in his life and changes are scary even when it’s a good change. Lance’s tirade of anxious thoughts is interrupted when Lurox asks him a question.

“Sorry, could you please repeat that.” Lance says with a sheepish smile. He puts his nerves aside when he hears Keith snicker quietly beside him. Lurox smiles down at the blue paladin with the grace of a man who puts up with nervous patients daily. Coran cuts Lurox off before he can repeat the question for Lance.

“My boy, he is asking if you are ready for your surgery.” Coran says while beaming at his favorite of the paladins. Lance feels his heart slip a beat and for a moment he fears that this isn’t real and he’ll wake up in a moment and be back on the castle ship in his bed, only to find this had all been a dream. He takes a deep breath and pushes the doubtful thoughts away then nods his head. “I’ve never been more ready for anything in my life.” He says and beams brightly up at Coran.

“Excellent! Lurox, the boy is ready!” Coran chirps in an over exuberant voice which turns some of Lance’s nervous energy back into excitement. Lurox nods and leaves the room with a quick goodbye before going to wash up and change into a sterile gown and pair of gloves so he can perform Lance’s surgery.

The same nurse who had explained the aftercare process steps up to administer the anesthesia to Lance. She expertly inserts an iv into Lance’s arm in much the same way a nurse would on earth. Lance finds he can’t feel the tube or needle at all which is an improvement from the discomfort that earth medical equipment is usually accompanied by.

Lance finds himself seeking out Keith’s face as a sort of comfort as his mind begins to grow foggy and his senses dull. He clumsily reaches out a hand toward the red paladin who quickly takes Lance’s hand into his own slightly clammy one. Keith rubs his thumb soothingly over Lance’s knuckles and then bends down to kiss his boyfriend on the forehead. He straightens up from the kiss but stays within earshot of Lance. He looks down at his boyfriend’s tired blue eyes and he can tell that Lance is trying to fight off the sleep that the anesthesia is trying to lull him into.

“Let yourself fall asleep babe, everything will be fine when you wake up. I’ll be here waiting for you and you’ll finally have the chest that you have always wanted.” Keith assures Lance. He didn’t dare admit to Lance that he is also nervous about the procedure but he knows that Lance is in safe hands. The alien doctor in front of him is the best trained in all of the surrounding universes and is probable better trained than any doctor on earth. This knowledge doesn’t prevent the nagging voice in the back of Keith’s head that something bad could happen to Lance.

A comforting hand on Keith’s shoulder prevents him from following his nervous train of thought and he glances over at the Altean next to him. “Keith’s right my boy, we’ll both be here when you wake up and when you wake up everything will be right as the water that falls from the sky on your planet.” Coran assures Lance.

Lance nods sleepily and lets himself fall asleep to the comforting words that his boyfriend and space uncle are whispering to him in soft voices.

-

The next time Lance is awake, he is only briefly aware of a numb feeling his chest which feels lighter than it ever has. A different kind of pressure surrounds his chest but this pressure feels comforting and protective. He slips back into dreamland as he feels the bed he is on being pushed forward.

-

Lance’s next memory of being conscious is the sinking feeling in his stomach which accompanies falling out of a healing pod. He lets out a disgruntled whine but he recognizes the feeling of the arms that caught him around his waist. He slowly opens his eyes and finds himself looking up at Keith’s concerned but smiling face.

“I need you to move around a bit for me, Lance. You have to stretch out your muscles so that you can heal properly. We want you to have a full range of motion when you are fully healed.” Keith explains and helps Lance steady himself and then guides him through the stretches that Lurox recommends his recovering patients.

Lance follows Keith’s instructions and stretches out his stiff body and is surprised to find that he is only the littlest bit sore. His chest is still mostly numb but he did enough research back on Earth to know that numbness is common after surgery and most if not all of his feeling will come back as he continues to heal.

After finishing a session of thorough stretching, Keith and a nurse guide Lance back into a healing pod. The healing pods on this planet are far more advanced than the pods on the castle ship and Lance is pleasantly surprised to find that these pods are not bone chillingly freezing like the ones he has become accustomed to. Lance drifts back off into unconsciousness as the healing pod works its magic and heals the body he’d always dreamed of having.

-

Being woken up to stretch and perform light exercises becomes an almost daily routine and it is only two movements later that Lance finds himself released from Lurox’s care. He is asked to come back of any problems should arise but video chat check ups will suffice as he continues to heal. Lance thanks Lurox and the team of nurse profusely and heads back to the Castle Ship with Keith and Coran.

“Now my boy, the healing pods sped your healing along considerably but you still need to take it easy. No intense exercising but you can still participate in easier drills with the rest of the team. Every couple days we can pop you into a healing pod aboard the castle for a few Vargas to continue speeding up your healing process.” Coran rambles as he happily twirls his mustache around his finger.

Lance smiles up at his space uncle and nods, “I know, Coran. We just went through all of this with the nurses and Lurox. Right now I just want to get back to my own bed aboard the castle and maybe cuddle with my amazing boyfriend.” He turns to look at Keith who is blushing slightly because of Lance’s words.

Lance laughs happily and tugs Keith close to his side, still being mindful of his sore chest and the hospital issued binder that he needs to continue to wear for the next one to two movements. His smile only grows when Keith loops an arm around his waist.

“Sorry to burst your bubble but I think we’ll have to postpone or cuddle session.” Keith says and looks up at his boyfriend. Lance pouts down at his Korean boyfriend who simply laughs. “Well we can skip the feast Hunk has made to celebrate your surgery and you being released from the hospital but I think it’d really hurt his feelings. Plus, space garlic knots are always better fresh.” Keith says with a shrug.

“Garlic knots?” Lance gasps and quickens his pace toward the Castle Ship. “Sorry Keith, cuddles can wait until after I stuff myself full of garlic knots and then brush my teeth because garlic breath is grody!” Lance rambles and tugs Keith behind him and Coran follows the couple, laughing the whole way.
