( he's always going to be the sort that clings to something he doesn't want to let go of, even if he should; the magnetic pull of being tied to keith through the names that had been tattooed on their wrists might be gone, and maybe if the memories had been lost too he wouldn't be feeling like he's clinging for dear life to something he no longer has a right to.
but it doesn't stop him from kissing him. from wanting to kiss him and that sparks a train of thought he'd been afraid to let come to the surface when he'd first woken up. they might not be tugged around by the strings of the gods anymore, if there's something lingering after all of this, it has to mean something.
everything about this is real. everything about this is coming from the very bottom of lance's ribs, where his heart beats against them in an off-beat rhythm that finds his breath coming a little quicker than it would be otherwise. everything about this … is just because he wants to stay close to keith as long as he can.
he nuzzles the other's nose again, breathing out a hum that lingers in the minute space between them. ) We can if you want to. I could probably sleep some more —
(but i really don't want to miss any of this, in case it's gone for good when i wake up again.) Just being here is nice. (just being with you.)
