It felt so right, so unreal and so good all at the same time.

Lance's lips were the softest things Keith had ever had the pleasure of feeling, so it was no trouble at all to let the other man guide their kiss slowly, until Lance was massaging his bottom lip with his tongue, asking permission to deepen the kiss.

Keith, like the weak man he was when it came to Lance, let all of that happen. He left his lips parted as Lance pulled him closer to his body and danced with his tongue inside his mouth, fighting with himself with the desire to just kiss Keith for real, but he was fully respecting the calmness of the kiss and didn't  wanted to end up ruining things with the red paladin once again.

Everything seemed so calm around them in that room, but their heads were screaming at themselves, telling them that this was all a bad idea, but their hearts didn't want to stop it. Not at that moment, at least.

It was so magical, so unique...

The way Lance had removed his hands from Keith's face to slide them down the other man's sides only to stop at his waist. Lord... Keith felt like he could die right there and he wouldn't care about anything else because what he always dreamed of doing was happening.

Not wanting to leave all the work of handling the kiss to the Cuban alone, Keith sighed into the kiss in satisfaction at having his waist wrapped by Lance's hands and wrapped his arms around Lance's broad, strong shoulders - now he could see the change in Lance's muscles - from the other boy and pull him closer, himself deepening their kiss.

Managing to feel Keith's mutual desire in that kiss, Lance smiled - also satisfied - and bit the older man's lower lips, eliciting another sigh from him, this time more like a sly moan before moving his hands further down Keith's body and stopped his movements only when he reached Keith's thighs. And since Keith wasn't an idiot, he parted his lips just enough for Lance to get some air before grabbing him by the thighs and lifting him into his arms, forcing Keith to wrap his legs around the Cuban's waist to not fall, even if Lance's hands were strong enough to catch him on their own.

Lance was surprisingly quick in grabbing Keith and carrying him over to his bed, where he leaned over and carefully laid Keith down on his mattress as he pulled back a little just to take off the top part of his Atlas uniform. Keith watched Lance's small movement with his eyes shining and his pupils more dilated than they had ever dilated in his entire life.

He could get the right, perfect view of Lance's torso, see how different it looked since the last time Keith had seen him shirtless. It wasn't that bad, looking directly at the Cuban's dark skin and noticing the new muscles there on his stomach, toning his abdomen. It was good to look at, as Keith's mouth fell open in despair at having the pleasure of seeing Lance like that.

It seemed strange to see him like this, and it was strange, given their history, but Keith couldn't care less...

And Lance... Well, he was loving the sight of Keith Kogane - even though he was still fully clothed - lying on his bed with his mouth open at the sight of him half-naked. His face couldn't help but blush, just as his lips couldn't contain themselves from smiling softly as he unbuckled the belt of his pants and lay back down on Keith calmly, not wanting to scare him. His lips returned to Keith's at the same time he brought his face closer to the other's, feeling his entire body shiver and heat up when Keith's hands found his bare back and lightly scratched his skin, causing the hair on his arms to appear and the chills on the back of his neck would rise.

His right hand caressed Keith's soft face, not wanting the other to feel confused about what Lance was doing and so he wouldn't think about escaping the kiss.

Keith's thin, pink lips were by far the best thing Lance had ever experienced, and he mentally cursed himself for not grabbing him in the elevator a while ago and kissing him while he had the chance, even though back then they still were rivals.
