Blossom 🌸 [Klance OneShot]

- Blossom -

It had been a long day, spring had arrived and so did the flowers at the farm. Lance took Rachel with him to pick some since Veronica was too busy helping mamá with dinner.

"The flowers are beautiful, as always." He said while reaching a rose.

"You know what else is beautiful? That girl over there." Rachel pointed somewhere in the distance. "Hold up, I think it's just a guy with long hair."

Lance shook his head when his twin sister made a disappointment gesture and continued with her task.

"Aren't you like, married?"

"Yeah, but that doesn't stop me from checking out cute girls. It's bisexual culture, Lancey"

The blue boy shook his head again while laughing, and directed his eyes to the guy who kept getting closer. It was Keith. His hands went cold in a matter of seconds, Lance didn't want to see him, not right now.

But he had too, Keith was his best buddy after all. Just that.

Lance waved at him, catching his attention, and told his twin sister who he was. She then got up and grabbed her basket full of flowers, saying she was going to get some water for them. Lance almost begged her to stay with them, but he didn't. It was not her problem. Soon, a voice called his name.

"Hey Lance." He was right behind him, Lance couldn't do anything anymore, it was too late.

"Hey man, how's it going? Last time I saw you, your ponytail was six inches smaller." He joked and Keith laughed. Bad mistake.

"You're exaggerating, it was only five less." They made eye contact, a bright smile could be seen on Keith's face, but not on Lance's. "Everything alright?"

"What? Oh, right. I got lost staring at all these flowers. They get really pretty when it's spring, y'know?" He wanted to look back at the flowers, but it was the boy who caught his attention, as always.

"Sure thing, I should come back here every spring then, huh?" Keith picked a blue flower and placed it close to Lance's eyes. "It's almost the same color."

When the guy with black hair proceeded to play with the flowers again, a great pain filled Lance's chest. It was sweet, but also painful as hell. It was hard not to bend over it. Fortunately, his sister came just in time with three glasses of water, Lance drank his faster than the others, the pain was still there, but not as hard as before.

"Shall we go inside?" Rachel asked when the conversation they were having ended. "Keith could stay for dinner."

The two boys nodded even though one of them wasn't extremely excited about the idea.

Once they were all set, dinner went as usual, except for the growing pain in Lance's chest. He was unable to finish the food because of it.

Lance had been feeling that pain for the past three years, everytime Keith came to visit him, it grew. It got worse. And Lance feared that one day, the pain would end up killing him. Little did he know the pain wasn't the worst of it.

After an hour or two, they were done and it was time for Keith to go back home. Or to go back to space.

"Do you need a ride, mijo? Toma, llévale comida a tu mami" Mrs. McClain handed him a bowl with food. "For your mom, darling" She kissed his cheek and finally said goodbye.

Keith thanked her and headed to Lance. Who gave him a short and small hug, one hug that carried so many feelings that Keith would never be able to feel. Not for Lance.

And then, after that thought, came the first petal. Lance took a step back, breaking the hug, covering his mouth as he coughed. He raised his free hand to indicate he was fine, and patted Keith on the shoulder, showing him the brightest smile he was able to give. But in Lance's other hand he was holding a red petal, covered with fresh blood.
