The Red Nerd [Klance]

Chapter 7: Pop Quiz

Wednesday morning||Keith and Shiro's apartment||6:30 a.m.

"Hey Shiro,"

"Yes Keith,"

"Do you think my birth mother would still love me, even if I am gay?" Keith asked his 'brother', turning to his direction.

"Keith, it's 6:31 in the morning, why are you asking me this? We have to get to school."

"I know, but would she still love me?"

"Ha-ha, of course she would. It's not like just because you're not straight, she wouldn't love you anymore. You should be happy about your relationship with Lance, he's a lucky guy you know," comforted Shiro, patting Keith on the head. "Now, let's head to school. I have to file some documents at my classroom."

"Right," nodded Keith, following the 25-year old out the door.

Wednesday||School||6:47 a.m.

"So, what are the documents you need to file about exactly?"

"Oh, you know, the usual tests, essays, that kind of stuff," shrugged Shiro.

"Oh, so the important crap?" giggled Keith, walking into his homeroom.

"I wouldn't exactly call it 'crap', more like......okay, we'll call it crap." Shiro agreed, sitting down at his desk. "You better get your things ready, class starts in about twenty-five minutes, so be prepared."

"Of course. I'll be at my locker if you need me,"

"Okay,"

Wednesday||Keith and Lance's locker||6:50 a.m.

Keith walked to his shared locker, pushing his glasses up. He opened up the locker, grabbing his needed textbooks and notebooks. Lance came into the school a couple minutes after Shiro and Keith. The chestnut haired boy walked up to his significant other, kissing him on the forehead.

"Hey Keithy~"

"Hello Lance, how may I be of service?"

"Your love is enough service, thank you very much," smirked Lance, sticking out his tongue at Keith playfully.

"Ha-ha, thanks babe," chuckled Keith, flushing a warm pink.

In only minutes, the hallways were filled with students. Jocks were seen in the fields, the fashionistas were hanging by their lockers, putting on make-up. (A/n: *gags* eww, make-up 😣) The musicians began to hang around the music room, setting down their instruments. Despite all the different cliques, they all spoke about the same topic; the Winter Ball.

"Wow, can you believe that the Winter Ball is next week?" Lance asked his boyfriend.

"No, I can't." Crap, that means I only have until next week to perfect the song! UGH!! Keith thought to himself, silently panicking.

"Huh, something on your mind Keith?"

"Wha? Oh, uh, n-no. I'm okay, don't worry 'bout me, heh-heh....." stammered Keith, picking up his bag quickly, scooting away from Lance.

"Okay, see you in class."

And like that, he left Keith.

Wednesday||English||7:20 a.m.

"We'll be taking a little short pop quiz this morning, class." Shiro smiled, passing out papers.

"UGH, WHY?!" the class groaned, dumping their heads into their hands.

Everyone besides Keith, of course. He didn't love tests, but he didn't hate them either. He felt neutral about them.

"And........ Begin!" Shiro said, sitting back down in his chair.

The time was ticking by, and Lance sat at his desk behind Keith, blinking at his paper with the most dumbfounded look on his face. He eventually finished the test, but when he turned it in......

"FAIL?! But, how?!" Lance exclaimed, eyes wide, staring at his paper.

"You didn't read the instructions, did you?" asked Keith, hand on his hip.

"I did, and I answered all the questions correctly! I know for a fact that I know all of these questions, and their correct answers!"

"Then, why did you fail?"

"I don't know! You tell me!"

Keith grabbed the paper that was set on Lance's desk, skimming through his test.

"Fine, I will. You failed, because you didn't write your name......" Keith explained to the brown haired boy, his eyes twitching. "HOW COULD YOU FORGET TO WIRTE YOUR FREAKIN' NAME?!"

"I may have rushed a bit......"

"Yeah, no shit." (A/n: Please don't kill me......) Keith said, rolling his eyes. "You know Lance, you're really smart, you just need to show it more."

"I know, but I just tend to make mistakes.... It's just the 'Lance' way of doing things, you know what I mean?" shrugged Lance, his hands stuffed in his pockets.

"Yeah.... Well, I love you and all, and I don't think I want to do things the 'Lance' way.... No offense..." replied the raven haired male.

"It's whatever, everyone has different opinions." smiled Lance, kissing Keith on the lips.

"Lance, Keith, no showing affection to one another on school grounds, you know this already." Shiro said, glaring at the two lovebirds.

"Sorry Shiro," the two boys murmured.
