(6) The Wine Glass

Lance's p.o.v:

  As he carried Keith he searched for a balcony so that they could get some fresh air, hoping that'd help get Keith's mind off things. Keith's protests lessened and his facial expression went back to neutral, though Lance couldn't help but think it still looked a little sad. "Your brother seems a little off to me, I mean he comes off as really aloof yet- friendly?" He said, trying to lighten the mood. "Yeah, I guess you could say he has his own motives for doing things. He only really cares about something if it benefits himself, otherwise it's just inconvenient for him. Keeping up appearances with other royals is just something he must do, if he didn't he wouldn't bother." Keith replied bluntly. What he got from that is that Orion isn't actually a friendly guy, noted. He finally spotted a balcony, thank the gods. His guards were still following behind from a distance, following the order Lance had previously given to them earlier.

  Lance reluctantly let Keith down, then opened up the balcony doors and walked out onto it together. "I know it's not much but I want you to wear this while we're out here, it'll help keep you a little warmer rather than just being out here with your crop top situation you've got going on there." He gestured to Keith's uncommon g*psy-esk attire, slipping off his vest and then resting it over the other's shoulders. "There, at least I can say that I tried." He added with a chuckle, then went over to lean on the balcony railing and look out over the First Galran Kingdom.

  Keith followed his lead and more or less copied him, leaning against the balcony railing beside Lance even though he didn't seem all that interested in staying here for long. "Aw, come on don't be like that!~ Just enjoy this amazing view!" he said, trying to convince Keith to hang out with him here for a little longer. "I've seen this view plenty of times, I'm not a newcomer like you. It's not that amazing." Keith replied back teasingly. "I will agree to disagree, to each their own I guess." He said with a shrug. Keith nodded his head and then started to climb on top of the railing, acting as if it was second nature to do so. "Woah, woah, what are you doing?!" he shouted after grabbing the other's wrist. Why was he trying to hop the damn railing?! His guards who were previously waiting in the hall poked their heads outside, checking in on them after the commotion. "Your highness? Is everything alright?!" They both said in unison, it was almost scary. "We're fine- Well, I'm fine. Keith what is wrong with you? Why were you trying to hop the railing? Do you know how high up we are?!" He questioned frantically, staring the smaller prince down as he waited for an answer. "I was just gonna sit up here like this, I do it all the time!" Keith replied back, shaking free of Lance's grasp and readjusting how he sat on top of the railing, his legs dangled over nothing but air. The drop down below where Keith was sitting looked extremely dangerous, what's with this guy? Is he not scared to plummet to his death? "Keith I don't care how often you do this, it's dangerous. Can you please get down?" He asked, more or less pleading with the other because it made him anxious to see him sit up there. He wanted to simply pull him back onto the balcony floor, though.. Suddenly Grabbing Keith might startle him and make him fall. His guards were on edge and so was he. Keith turned to look at him, once he saw Lance's expression he started to laugh. He was simply worried for Keith's well being and he was laughing!! "I'm serious, if you fall it's not gonna be pleasant." He stated, standing close to the other but not touching him since he was scared he might accidentally make Keith fall or something.

  All Keith did was smile back at him, no more laughing, then he lifted his legs and spun himself around so that he could hop off the railing and back onto the balcony floor. "Happy now?" Keith asked while readjusting the vest that still hung on his shoulders. "Yeah, I am. Keith you might just give me a damned heart attack one day." He said with a sigh of relief. He signaled for his guards to go back to their temporary posts in the hallway, then leaned against the wall the doors were on and slid down to sit on the ground. "I'm sorry..? Did I really spook you that bad?.." Keith asked, taking a knee beside him with a really concerned expression upon his face. "It's alright- just please.. Don't do that again. I almost had a panic attack!" He replied with a chuckle, noticing the other's tense demeanor. "You don't have to kneel, just sit down with me. Stay awhile.~" He added quietly whilst looking up into the night sky. Keith eventually did as was suggested and took up a spot beside him, looking up into the vast starry sky with him.
