Summary
So nothing is okay, and everything’s okay. There’s one missing piece to the equation, and Keith’s gotten very good at ignoring it. He goes to work and goes to the doctor’s and goes to Pidge’s and the Holt’s and Shiro and Adam’s and keeps himself moving and busy. He’s got a lot on his plate; he’s trying to figure out how he’s going to raise a baby, he doesn’t have much time for anything else.
But that’s only during the day. At night, things are quiet. He lays in his windowless room on his creaky bed, tossing and turning because he can’t fucking get comfortable, and he blinks gritty eyes at the dark room and just wants. He wants warm arms, and he wants someone to get him a glass of water, and he wants someone to tell him it’s gonna be okay, and someone to hold him up cause he’s getting exhausted doing it all himself. And he doesn’t want just anyone, he wants Lance. He misses Lance.
Which is the silliest thing he’s ever heard. How can you miss something that was never yours?
(Keith, a motorcycle mechanic, and Lance, a movie star, spend one night at a bar together. They get a lot more than they bargained for.)

Summary
“Do you play guitar?” Lance asks, holding up the pick.
“Yeah,” Keith replies.
“Are you good?”
“Yeah.”
“Are you just saying you’re good, or are you actually good?”
“Actually good,” Keith says defensively. “And why do you care anyway?”
Lance narrows his eyes at him. “I don’t know if I believe you.”
“I’ll prove it,” Keith says before he can think.
(High school marching band/Battle of the Bands AU. Keith is the new kid, Lance is trying to prove himself, Pidge is a musical prodigy, Hunk’s tired of stereotypes, Shiro and Allura are just trying to get people to stop calling them ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad’, and Bruce Springsteen is still the Boss. Don’t ask about the lions.)
