When Keith wakes up he practically can't even move because he's being smothered by blanket's and Lance, it's comfortable and a break from whatever has been going on lately especially with the murder that was reported yesterday and the fact Lance has been experiencing some nervous behaviour. At home everything is safe though because nothing can hurt them here right? there's nothing they don't know about that lurks inside the house, yeah, everything's safe in here.

He looks down at his boyfriend who is still sleeping soundly even at 11am when he's up before 9 everyday but maybe he's just stressed and its alright to sleep in every once and while, he kisses his forehead before getting out of bed to go downstairs where there is light absolutely bursting through the windows. At the door under the letterbox there's an envelope so he picks it up, opens it then reads it - its a party invitation for him and Lance? but they don't know anybody except for Jessica but she's not the one hosting the party, its some Niko person. Keith will propose the idea to Lance to see if he'll be able to worm around his work schedule or something so they can go together but if not then Keith will just unfortunately go on his own.

Lance wakes up around an hour later and joins him in the kitchen "Good morningg." he yawns as he puts his head on Keith's shoulder "Morning, how'd you sleep?" "Good i guess."
"You guess? was it not good?" the brunette sighs nuzzling into his shoulder and then he mutters against the fabric of Keith's shirt "It was good but still just- weird and kinda creepy because my dream was so confusing."
"You wanna talk about it?" Keith asks and Lance shakes his head . "Alright and we got invited to a party so could you maybe skip around your schedule for work so we can both go?" he picks up to envelope with the invitation inside and gives it to the boy resting behind him.

"Its starts at 8 and it goes up until midnight so no i can't and plus i don't really go to parties." Lance gives the envelope back
"Really? because you back in high school would've said differently."
"Well for your information hunny im not 16 anymore." Keith turns around to look at his boyfriend's face and also to hold him closer by his hips
"It doesn't mean you can't not go to a party."
"Im a 21 year old man Keith with responsibility's so yes it means i cant."
The topic gets dropped after that and they go on to talk about what their plans could be for the week.

———-
3 hours  later Lance is gone to work again like yesterday and Keith is getting ready to go to the party, looking through the closet for something to wear other than his black jeans, band t-shirts and jacket, because it was summer he would put on a tank top, the jeans but leave the jacket - now he had the outfit planned all he had to was wait until the time the party started at 8..should he even go?  its such a social event, theres gonna be drunk young adults who are everywhere, dancing to a song thats playing through loud speakers.  Its going to be sweaty and messy with how many people are going to be there, what if he backs out last minute? after all it's just an invitation so it's not like he has to go - actually he'll stop overthinking everything and go then get back before 10pm hopefully.

He gets to the party at 8:20 and theres so many people already who must've come earlier than him but at least there isn't as much mess that he thought there would be, he actually went to get some food laid out then sit down somewhere to eat but when the music and people got too loud afterwards? he searched for somewhere to go outside with the fresh cool night air.   Theres a wide open door just by the kitchen so he walks through it and finally takes a gulp of air into his lungs, why had he been holding it to begin with?    maybe it was the growing smoke inside that stung when you blinked, when you breathed it in so he did it to avoid that,    he lifts his gaze to find someone else out here with him which meant he wasn't the only one not enjoying the party.

"Jessica?"  He called towards her making her turn around
"Hm? Oh hey, fancy seeing you here Keith..how come we're in the same place again? Who's the stalker now."
"I think the host just invited our whole college if i'm being honest and i kinda hate it in there now so I'm just getting air."
