True Love’s Kiss- Lance Ship Week Day 7

Here it is, the end. Funny, considering this is a Fairy Tale AU. I really wanted to do a Gods AU with Lance being the son of Hades, but it wasn’t working out annoyingly. One day I will make it work, but hopefully you enjoy this Sleeping Beauty inspired fic. Gods AU/Fairy Tale AU/Alternate Reality

“Your highness, wait!” Keith yelled chasing after his charge.

“Come on, Keith, keep up!” Lance yelled over his shoulder as he ran faster.

Keith was cursing Lance’s long legs. Lance might be a prince, but he certainly didn’t act like it, at least, he didn’t around them. To his parents and others of the royal court, Lance was the perfect prince, even charming his fiancée from his arranged marriage who had only met him twice.

When he was with him and Shiro though, Lance was a completely different. Lance would tell them it was because he felt like he could be himself with them. Hence why Lance was running away from Keith right now, he just loved making Keith annoyed. Not that Keith would admit he had grown to like how determined Lance was.

He saw Lance look over his shoulder to look at him again so he didn’t see a familiar figure came out from behind a tree until he ran right into him. Shiro wrapped his arms around Lance’s waist to keep him from falling.

“Your highness.” Shiro said, Lance pouting at the revelation that he was caught.

“No fair. Keith was supposed to catch me.”

Resting his hand on the prince’s shoulder, Keith said, “and I have.”

“Besides, it’s time for you to get back to the castle. You still need to get your fitting for your suit for your coming of age ball.” Shiro said, removing his arms from Lance’s waist.

“I don’t know why we do this every year. I was cursed by that dark fairy when I was a baby to fall into a sleep on my birthday.” Lance reminded.

When he had been born, his family invited everyone to his christening but even though his mother remembered writing an invitation to the dark fairy of their kingdom, it never got there. So said fairy decided to curse Lance in retaliation, cursing him to fall into a deep sleep unable to wake on his birthday, only to be woken by true love’s kiss. Lance tried not to let that curse bother him but the issue came up every now and then. Shiro and Keith wanted to do everything to protect and help Lance, but what could simple knights do against a powerful, vengeful dark fairy? Every other fairy tried to remove the curse but nothing worked. All Lance’s parents could hope for was that Lance would be kissed by his true love.

“Well you haven’t passed out on us yet, so we have high hopes. Besides, while you’re busy with your fitting, we can go get your present.” Shiro said, knowing that would get Lance’s attention.

“Really? What is it, what is it? Oh, tell me please!” Lance begged.

“Wait until your birthday, but Keith will be leaving and don’t think you can pull what it is from me.”

Lance pouted. “You guys are such teases. But fine, I’ll survive. We’ll go, but I want it now.” Lance said, tapping at his cheeks.

Ever since Lance was young and he had Keith and Shiro on his guards, he got them to kiss his cheek before he went to his persona of the perfect prince. Even as they grew older and they tried to tell him it wasn’t acceptable, Lance didn’t care.

With matching blushes, the two pressed a kiss against Lance’s cheeks, making him giggle and smile before turning back to towards the castle, not seeing the almost love sick looks he was getting from his guards. They hide their looks because as much as they liked their prince, they were just guards. There was no chance that they could be the prince’s true love.

Shiro remembered when Lance fell under his curse, Lance had been standing in front of the crowds that came to celebrate his 18th birthday and suddenly he collapsed. He wouldn’t wake up. His curse finally came to be. Keith wasn’t even back yet.

Shiro was instructed to take Lance to a tower that had been built for Lance when he fell under his curse and keep him safe. It was lucky he did because after that the dark fairy tried attacking the kingdom. Walls of rose thorns surrounded the tower as if trying to keep anyone who could awaken Lance out.

Shiro looked to where Lance laid on the bed, looking like the usual morning where they’d try to wake him up. But firm words and shaking wasn’t going to do anything. Not now. He felt like if this was the end and Lance never woke up, Keith should be with them. But he was out of the kingdom, probably not knowing what was going on. Shiro didn’t think it would end like this, Keith barely knowing about Shiro’s feelings about him and the feelings he had for the prince. Falling love with them was not what he expected. He tried to stop it, to be professional but he couldn’t help it.

The sound of footsteps started to sound and Shiro tensed at the sound. He was locked in here with Lance, and the only other person with the key would Keith. He stood in front of Lance, his grip on his sword tightening as the footsteps grew closer. He heard the sound of a key going into a lock and turning before the door swung open to Keith.

“Keith! How did you get here?”

“I heard what happened on my way back. I saw the wall of thorns and decided to go and get Prince Hunk.” Shiro noticed Lance’s fiancée was standing behind Keith, looking a bit scared and determined all at once. “Your highness, if you would.”

Prince Hunk took a deep breath and approached Lance.

“Do you think it’ll work? If he kisses Lance?” Shiro asked

“It’s the closest thing we have. The fairies are helping push back the dark fairy but it won’t be worth it if Lance doesn’t wake up.”

Shiro knew that. He also knew that if Lance did wake up, he’d have to completely forget about him. From the look of Keith’s face, he understood that too.

“Hey, did you get it?” Shiro asked.

Keith looked a bit confused but recognition came to his eyes. He pulled a small draw string bag from off his belt and handed it over. “In a perfect world, we could give this to him and tell him how we feel.”

“In a perfect world. Unfortunately, this was never going to be perfect.”

They watched as Hunk leaned over Lance, leaning down, but they averted their gaze as Hunk got much closer. Moments passed, turning into minutes but Lance hadn’t woken up. Hunk wasn’t Lance’s true love.

“I’m sorry Lance.” Hunk said.

Shiro tried to hold back the stinging in his eyes. Lance would stay asleep for the rest of his life, unknowing of just how in love his guards were with him.

“You go ahead you highness, we need to get you back to your kingdom and see if the dark fairy’s forces have been defeated. And then we need to tell Prince Lance’s parents what happened.” Shiro said, trying to stay strong.

Hunk seemed to understand the mood of the room and with another apologetic look at Lance he started his trek down the winding stairs. Once he was out of the room, Keith let out a shaky breath.

“It isn’t fair. He didn’t deserve this.” Keith said, his fist shaking.

“Then defeating that fairy is the best we can do. Here, help me put it on him.” Shiro opened the bag and shook it out, dropping the necklace in his hand. It was a clear star shape with the smallest bud of a juniberry flower blooming within the star. Juniberries didn’t grow in Lance’s kingdom and to get it pressed between pieces of crystal glass, it was no wonder Keith had to go out of town to get it.

Keith lifted Lance’s head up enough that Shiro could put the necklace on Lance, the charm resting gently on his chest now. The two looked at Lance, like it was the last time they’d see him and with an understanding look, they did what they always did at their prince’s request, each pressing a kiss to his cheeks at the same time.

They did not expect as they started to back away that Lance would slowly open his eyes.

“Keith, Shiro? What happened?”

True love’s kiss would break the curse. It would seem the thing they had been hoping for was true after all. Lance woke up from the kisses of his true loves.
