Night terrors? /// Klance

PART EIGHT

Keith couldn't comprehend what was happening. He didn't remember what his response was. All he knew was that Lance was getting awfully close.

He had that ridiculous smirk he always had when soemthing went his way. Wait. Did Lance want to kiss me? Keith started to think. I don't even remember saying 'Yes'. Did I even say anything?

"Keith."

Keith swallowed and looked Lance in the eye. "Mhm?"

"Try not to panic, yeah?"

Keith nodded as Lance got closer and closer leaning in with every second. Even though it would seem everything going on was moving too fast; to Keith, it was moving all too slow. And he wanted it to hurry up.

As Lance inched closer, so did Keith. It sent his heart racing when Lance started to glance a his lips. Keith did the same in return which made Lance smile even wider.

Keith couldn't remember when it happened. One second it was like they were staring each other down, the next second both of their eyes were closed and their lips were touching. And to Keith, this was sweet bliss. He'd never actually kissed anyone before. Lance on the other hand had kissed some people, but this was the first boy he'd ever kissed. And in all honesty, Lance liked it much more than he did with girls.

But what confused Keith was that it didn't seem to stop. The moment they would separate they'd come back together. Keith's hand eventually moved up to Lances cheek while Lances hand went down to Keith's waist as he pulled him closer.

They didn't know how long they'd been there, they just knew they were enjoying every second. And when they finally parted they were both taking heavy breaths, but one last time, they kissed again for a good three seconds before parting once more and looking at each other.

Keith's hand had moved to Lances neck while the other one was in his hair. Lances hands remained put on Keith's waist.

Lance laughed quietly. "Don't tell me that was your first kiss."

Keith felt a little blood rush to his face as he looked down and nodded.

"That's no fair." Lance started, "How come you're good at kissing even though you've never kissed before. When I had my—"

Keith leaned in and kissed Lance again, which lance melted into. "Just shut up."

"Okay." Lance managed to squeak out before leaning in and kissing Keith again. And again. And again.

When they both pulled back Lance scrunched his eyebrows. "Uhm, Keith?"

"Hm?"

"Does this mean — uhm — well what does exactly this mean? I mean like relationship wise . . . ?"

Keith thought for a second before his heart dropped. He removed his hands slowly, put them in his lap, and looked down at them. "What do you want it to be . . . ?"

"Well-well I was hoping, uh, that we could maybe — oh I don't know — uhm—"

"Lance I'm going to ask you something right now." Keith looked up to look Lance in the eye.

"Yeah?"

For a second Keith had confidence, but the moment Lance met his gaze he lost it all. "Do-do you like me or not?"

Lance sat there looking at Keith before he grinned. "Do you like me?"

Keith nodded shyly while Lances grin turned into a soft smile. "I like you too."

Keith's head shot up as he grinned widely. "Seriously? No joke?"

Lance laughed at his shock. "Yes, no joke, I like you. A lot. Probably more than I should. We're talking about the same kind of 'like' right?"

"I hope so?"

"Like, dating 'like' or just friend 'like'?"

Before Keith could comprehend what he was saying he had already said it. "Well I was hoping we could date—" Before Keith could register his embarrassment of what he had said, Lance went ahead and kissed him.

"You know, that's kinda weird, I was hoping we could date too. Did you read my mind just now or—" Keith laughed and kissed him before he could finish his sentence just like Lance had done with him.

"Once again. Just shut up."

Lance smirked. "Whatever you say, Sunshine." Before Keith could come up with a remark about the nickname, Lance pecked his cheek and then moved on to his lips.

They laid there cuddling while also watching an anime called Toilet Bound Hanako-Kun. Once again, 12 episodes and a lot less sad than The Promised Neverland.

"I like Kou. He reminds me of myself."

"I'm not choosing who I like who I like most."

"You like me most."

"Well obviously—"

"Keith?"

"Hm?"

"I think I love you."
