The Red Nerd [Klance]

Chapter 9: His Singing Skills

Thursday||P.E.||7:55 a.m.

"Hey Lance, did you and Lila actually used to date?" Keith asked his boyfriend, opening up his P.E. locker.

"No, she's just saying a bunch of BS. We met back in Cuba when our parents were talking about business and crap. We only hung out with each other for about one week before they parents left for France. Honestly, it was the most stressful week of my life probably, she's so clingy and overall just a petty perra." Lance explained to Keith, pulling his P.E. shirt over his head.

"What?" the raven haired boy said, a confused look plastered on his face.

"She was a female dog," the sun kissed boy replied, glaring at Keith.

"Oh, oh. OH....."

"Yeah, she was that bad,"

"Then why'd you say 'yes' in class?"

"If I hadn't, I don't think I would be here right now," sighed Lance, walking out of the locker room.

"Wow,"

"Mm-hmm, you can say that again,"

Keith sighed and then kissed Lance's cheek lightly, whispering, "I'll kill her for us,"

"Thank you?" squeaked Lance, his dark blue eyes going a bit wide.

"Hey Lance~" sang Lila, running towards Keith and Lance. She pushed Keith out of the way, pressing her head lightly on Lance's chest.

"Lila, g-get off of me...." Lance sighed, twitching his eyes.

"Oh, but Lance, you're so warm~" hummed Lila, her smile making Keith groan.

You better step away from my Lance, or there WILL be blood and scars........ Who do you think you are pushing me away from my boyfriend?! Keith thought to himelf, teeth clenched and glaring at Lila.

For the rest of the day, Lila kept trying to get Lance to herself, making Keith get more and more mad. Period after period, she sat near him, pulling him away from Keith. Pidge and Shiro just stayed in the background, going on about their day. They thought it was just harmless teenage love crap.

Thursday||After-class||4:37 p.m.

"Keith, you've been improving so much!! I'm so proud of you!" exclaimed Nyma, applauding Keith softly.

"Thanks, Ms. Nyma. Hey, could I ask you a question?" Keith asked, turning away from the piano.

"Of course, what is it?"

"There's this new girl named, 'Lila Rossi' in our classes, and she's been stealing Lance away from me lately. What do I do?"

"Isn't Lance your boyfriend?"

Keith nodded.

"Hmm, and she's been stealing him from you, am I not mistaken?"

"Yeah, that's right,"

"Well, does she know about your guy's relationship?"

"Uh........ N-no.... Not really," sighed Keith.

"Maybe that's why,"

"Yeah, I'll tell her tomorrow. NO ONE TOUCHES MY MAN!"

"Ha-ha, calm down Keith. Save your energy for tomorrow," giggled Nyma, patting him on the shoulder.

"Right, heh-heh...."

Friday||Keith and Lance's locker||9:43 a.m.

"Where's Lila?" Keith asked, looking around his surroundings.

"Uh, she left yesterday after-school. Turns out she was just staying at our school for the day. She's probably on her flight back home to France by now, why?" Lance asked Keith, opening up their locker.

"Oh, nothing. I just wanted to tell her that you were off limits to her,"

"Oh, I told her I was bisexual right before she left the school, and when I did, she just stood there with wide eyes. Weird, right?" explained Lance, grabbing his book.

"I mean, I guess," responded Keith, shrugging.

Friday||After-school||3:42 p.m.

"So, we just need to work on your vocal skills. Can you sing?" asked Nyma.

"Um, kind of," replied Keith, pushing his glasses up the brim of his nose.

"Let's see," said Nyma, handing him a piece of paper with lyrics to a song. "Sing this song."

"Okay," Keith cleared his throat, and sang these words, "What would I do without your smart mouth? Drawing me in, and kicking me out. You've go-"

He got cut off by Nyma.

"Keith, your singing is wonderful, but a bit out of tune. Breathe in and out slowly, and sing with your heart, not your mind." Nyma commented, softly smiling at him.

"Uh, r-right." He breathed in and out, clearing his mind of everything besides Lance. "What's going on in that beautiful mind, I'm on your magical mystery ride, and I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright,"

"That's much better, Keith!!" exclaimed Nyma. "Now, sing that in Spanish,"

"O-okay," Keith gulped. He slowed down his breathing once again, and sang the song in Spanish.

"¿Qué haría sin tu boca inteligente? Dibujo en mi, y me patearon. Tienes mi cabeza girando, no es broma, no puedo pin hacia abajo." sang Keith, his eyes closed and heart pounding. He sang the first few lines, and then opened his eyes to find Nyma wearing a big smile on her face, applauding her student.

"Keith, THAT WAS AMAZING!! Lance is going to love it!!"

"Heh, thanks," thanked Keith, taking his bag. "See you on Monday?"

"See you on Monday," sighed Nyma, waving her hand good bye.
