[ new fic: A Promise Made to be Broken ]

A Promise Made to be Broken - Chris/Lance. NC17. Some promises aren't meant to be kept.

"Yeah." If he turns his hand over, palm up, Lance's fingers slide in between his. Just fingers sliding together. Not holding hands, not- "This is just friends, right? Helping-each other out." His voice sounds as raw as the words feel. Rewind, he thinks frantically. I don't want to fuck this up. Need to rewind, start over. "Promise, Lance."

There's a pause and Lance uncurls just a little, and Chris wonders if he's already too late in saying anything. "Okay." Another pause, the space between them heavy and uncertain. "Just friends," Lance says the words slowly, his voice sleep-heavy.
