Keith Kogane x Reader One-Shots

15 - More than friends?

"See you later, n/n,", Keith smiled, ruffling your hair before walking away and leaving you with your brother, Lance. You watched as he walked away from you, a longing look on your face. Sighing, you turned to Lance, only to see him scowling in the direction Keith had walked away in.

"I don't like how close that guy is to you,", he mumbles, crossing his arms.

"He's just a friend, Lance. He's made that pretty clear,", you pouted, bringing your knees up to your chest. "I doubt he likes me, he seems more interested in Allura,", you looked down, composing yourself once more and ignoring the pitiful look your brother was giving you. "Anyway, you said you wanted to do skincare?"

"Oh my god, I almost forgot about that! I have a new mask for us to both try out,", he smiled, slinging his arm around your shoulder. "Vámonos, hermanita! Your skin isn't going to fix itself, now, is it?", you rolled your eyes, but nonetheless allowed him to pull you to his room, where he would inevitably get you to spill your guts to him.

"I just don't know what to do, Lance. I've liked him for ages now, but every time I tried to show him that, he's seemed completely uninterested and runs off to Pidge,", as you had predicted, your brother had managed to get you to open up to him, and you were now sat on his bed, your head on his shoulder as he rubbed your back. "Is it me? Did I do something wrong?"

"You did nothing wrong, y/n. If he doesn't like you, then he doesn't know what he's missing, and you need to show him that he's missing out on an amazing person,", a smirk rose on the Cuban boy's face upon finishing his sentence, making you furrow your eyebrows.

"What are you thinking, Lance?", you questioned.

"Nothing, nothing. Just wash your facemask off and then meet me in your room,", and with that, he left, walking next door to your room. Shaking your head at his antics, you walked to his bathroom and did as he had told you, drying your face as you walked to your room, though you dropped the towel on the floor upon entering.

"Keith?", you stuttered out, seeing him standing next to your brother. The boy jumped in surprise, spinning around and allowing his violet eyes to meet yours. "What's going on in here?"

"I'll leave you two be,", Lance walked out of the room, winking at you as he reached the door. Flushing, you picked the towel up from the floor and placed it neatly on the Altean radiator. Clearing his throat, Keith made his way towards you, backing you up against the wall.

"y/n,", he croaked, his arms wrapping around you as he buried his face into your shoulder. You stayed frozen for a moment, unsure of how to react but, feeling something wet on your shoulder, you proceeded to bring him into your arms, rocking him back and forth slightly as you shushed him.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?", you asked softly, running your hands through his hair.

"I just, everything is so stressful, you know? I feel like everyone is expecting so much from me, and I can't handle it. I tried, I really did,", he sobbed, voice shaking. Frowning, you continued to rub his back, whispering softly in his ear.

"No one expects anything from you, Keith. We all know you're doing everything that you can, and we couldn't ask for anything more. Everyone is here for you, okay?", he nodded into your shoulder, his sobs soon dying out until he was merely sniffling on your shoulder, his hands gripping at the sides of your f/c shirt.

"Sorry about that,", he mumbled, picking his head up from your shoulder but keeping his body close to yours. "I was being stupid, I don't know why I cried over that,", his cheeks turned pink as he spoke, as if only noticing the proximity you two were in.

"It's not stupid, never think that. You were stressed, it happens to everyone,", you comforted, your hand on his arm. A small smile broke onto his face as he looked at your face, his eyes flickering from your eyes to your lips. Heart pounding, you bit your lip and looked up at him nervously, unable to anticipate what his next move would be. "Uh, Keith--"

You were cut off with a pair of lips on yours, Keith's hands immediately finding the sides of your face and holding it in his hands as he pulled away. Your arms fell to your sides, mouth hanging open in shock as you tried to process what had just happened. Had he really just kissed you?

"Sorry! I- I don't know what I was thinking,", he stuttered, but with a sudden burst of confidence, you connected your lips to his once again, arms wrapping around his neck. He kissed back lovingly, and the two of you pulled away again, foreheads touching this time. "Wow,"

"Yeah, wow,", you breathed out, a broad smile on your lips. His smile mirrored yours, and you felt his thumbs gently rubbing your hips, though your moment was soon ruined by the sound of a door opening. Jumping, you both froze on the spot, terrified as someone walked into the room.

"Oh my god, finally!", Pidge cheered, pushing her glasses up. "You two have been pining after each other and neither of you noticed. It was painful to watch. Especially Keith. He always came to me and said how much he liked you,"

"Pidge!", the ravenette whined, head falling onto your collarbone as his cheeks turned a deep red.

"Oh really, Kogane? You talked about me to Pidge?", you laughed, playing with his hair.

"Don't lie, I know how much you talked to Lance about Keith,", she called as she walked out.

"Lance!"

---

"So,", Keith started from behind you. Humming, you turned your head around, looking into his mesmerising purple eyes. "What happened earlier... Does that make us more than friends?"

"Do you want to be more than friends?", you questioned, fiddling with your fingers. His hand moved to your chin, lifting your head up to face him.

"I'd like nothing more,"
