lance as a lifeguard rec 🤌✨🥰
Establishing Conversations by: BleuSarcelle, Word Count: 3,495, Rating: G, Summary: Maybe it was the dark smooth looking skin.
Nah, it was probably the fine jaw line, or maybe the cheekbones. Hair? Maybe? Curly on the ends with a few bangs falling on his face. It might have been the sharp blue eyes that roamed around the pool like a hawk.
All that Keith knows is that his gay heart needs to talk to that lifeguard, right now.
“Pidge, I need you to push me to the pool right now and let me drown.”
(OR the one where Keith pines for the hot lifeguard and tries all day to talk to him some how. It doesn’t end like he expected.)
🌟 Eyes Off You by: arcadevia, Word Count: 16,118, Rating: T+, Summary: “I like it,” Keith blurts, practically signing off the measurements of his coffin with how straightforward that feedback is.
Lance’s head swiftly tips downward to finally look at Keith. His face is the shell of a reaction, toeing between something wild and something passive. A few locks of hair swing down and hang loose along the edge of his forehead, kind of like Allura’s doll-like ringlets that dance around with every expressive motion she makes. The overhead light is barely obscured from Keith’s view by his friend’s towering figure, and it’s almost like Lance is simultaneously both something nostalgic and completely foreign.
“You do?” Lance asks with a genuine curious lilt. His knuckles shift anxiously against the seams of the shorts’ pockets.
“Yeah.”
Keith can’t take his eyes off Lance.
Or: 3 times Keith was struck dumb by Lance’s beauty and 1 time he didn’t just stare.
Drowning in a Sea of Stars by: plumeriafairy14, Word Count: 4,991, Rating: T+, Summary: Lance never thought that he’d see the very stars of the universe in the shattered irises of someone who would never see them. Or him.
Even so, that will not stop Lance from making Keith see how truly beautiful he is to him.
heat waves (late nights in the middle of june) by: ShatterinSeconds, Word Count: 17,595, Rating: T+, Summary: “You were planning on swimming at night too,” Keith accuses him, crossing his arms. “Admit it, hypocrite.”
Eyes darting back in panic, Lance waves his hands around wildly, sputtering nonsense. “No, nope, I always follow the rules. My lifeguard senses were tingling and I knew there was someone I had to save.”
“I’m not that stupid,” Keith says with an eye roll. “You had the same idea as I did.”
Lance cringes, not denying it anymore as his mouth snaps closed. Keith wouldn’t believe him even if he still tried; he smirks. “How about this becomes our little secret, ok?”
Since he’ll never see Lance again, Keith accepts the outstretched pinky, wrapping his own finger around it. They shake on it, completing the pact. “Whatever.”
(or Keith gets caught up in a whirlwind summer romance)
Lessons by: amycoolz, SylWritesStuff, Word Count: 75,264, Rating: E, Summary: Keith has been nothing but a thorn in Lance’s side since the mullet-haired ass first walked into the classroom. But when he decides to get himself shoved into the deep end and, wow, can’t even swim, Lance has to save his pretty self and then Pidge volunteers him to teach Keith how to swim. Great. Just great.
Summer days and metal baseball bats by: BlowingYourMind, Word Count: 3,796, Rating: G, Summary: He tried to kick and swim upwards, but he couldn’t tell what way was up and what way was down and his body wasn’t cooperating with him, remaining annoyingly limp.
That was when he felt warm hands loop around his waist. Keith instinctively wrapped his numb arms around his savior’s neck and said savior helped him adjust before he was kicking against the pool bottom and propelling them to the surface. When they breached it, Keith let out a wheezing breath, unsure if the substance falling from his face was tears, blood, or chlorinated pool water.
OR // Keith finds out that Lance McClain is a lifeguard in the worst possible way.
The Impossible Case of Lance McClain And Keith Kogane by: joobiestories, Word Count: 3,732, Rating: T, Summary: Lance is convinced he cannot fall in love with Keith. Everyone else begs to differ, including Keith.
*bonus!* LIFEGUARD KEITH 🌊
Surface Level by: Captain_Amiraca, Word Count: 29,173, Rating: G, Summary: Keith wanted to get away, he needed to get away. Even if away meant traveling halfway across the country to work for his cousin as a lifeguard, and live with the other college students there. He knows he doesn’t belong, but maybe an annoying surfer named Lance can help.
