Summary
Lance's fingers fold around his wrist, and suddenly, Keith is stumbling after him, drawn to the fountain’s marble edge.
“Why don’t you see for yourself?”
Lance's hand flutters away.
The flush of warmth crawling up Keith’s arm does not.
Later that night, while he keeps his post outside Lance’s chambers, Keith can’t recall how Lance pulls the water from the fountain, if it’s the way he moves his hands or the sweet things he whispers to it that does it.
All he remembers is the way the sunlight breaks apart across the water, and how it lights up Lance’s smile in gold.

When a sudden, life-threatening illness befalls Prince Lance, it's up to his childhood friend and guard, Keith, to find a cure.
Sometimes, however, distance doesn't make the heart grow fonder at all.
