The Red Nerd [Klance]

Chapter 10: Lance Makes Me Feel Safe

Monday||After-school||4:48 p.m.

"It's only two days away, Keith. Do you feel ready for this?" Nyma asked her pupil, packing up her things.

"Yeah, I feel fine, I guess. So, is there anything else we need to cover?" responded Keith, picking up his bag.

"Hmm, I think if we just sang the entire song once more tomorrow after class ends, it'll be perfect. What do you think, Keith?" Nyma said, looking at the raven haired male.

"Sounds great, thanks for everything," thanked Keith, closing the door behind them. He then bowed to Nyma, closing his eyes tightly. "And I really mean it. Thank you so much, Ms. Nyma."

"You're very welcome Keith. It's always a pleasure seeing my students want to learn," smiled Nyma, lightly hugging Keith.

Keith hugged her back lightly as well, smiling warmly at her. He fell like being on the brink of happy tears.... The raven haired boy walked out of the school a couple of minutes later, and he then saw Lance waiting for him at the front gate.

"Lance?" said Keith, pushing his glasses up a bit.

"Uh, Keith! I'm so glad to see you!!" exclaimed Lance, running towards him.

"Heh-heh, we have almost all day together though,"

"But not 6th period..... Plus, you always stay a few hours more at school now..... I feel lonely during those few hours sweetie~" pouted Lance, a warm shade of pink overtaking his sun kissed cheeks.

"I'm sorry, honey," replied Keith, kissing Lance.

"You're forgiven," Lance sighed, breaking up the contact of their lips.

"Awe, and here I thought I was going to have to kiss you more to get your forgiveness," teased Keith, smirking at Lance.

"Eh?! W-wait, I didn't say you didn't have to stop kissing me!" exclaimed Lance, flushing a bright red.

"I can't hear you~" sang Keith, chuckling under his breath.

"Oh, I see~ You wanna play hard to get, alright." Lance walked up to Keith, and held his finger up against Keith's lips.

"Eh, what are you pla-"

Lance cut him off.

"Shh, I just want to stare into your eyes until the end of time. No talking, no walking, just eye contact."

"Erm, could I breathe and blink?" Keith asked through his clenched teeth, smirking at the brown haired boy.

"Okay, just cut the crap and let me kiss you, my little nerd~" Lance said, grabbing Keith's cheeks.

And at that moment, Lance landed his lips on Keith's once again. The raven haired individual kissed back, and then broke the kiss shortly after.

"I'll see you tomorrow, my prince," sighed Keith, walking to his apartment.

"If I'm your prince charming, then expect me to save you from anything and everything." Lance said, letting go of Keith's pale hand.

"Bye~" chuckled Keith, opening the door.

"Bye," replied Lance, smiling at the apartment buildings.

Tuesday||1st period||7:20 a.m.

When Keith and Lance walked into their homeroom, everyone was talking about the Winter Ball that was tomorrow. The two boys walked to their seats in the back of the room, and quietly talked to one another.

"So, are you planning on going to the Winter Ball tomorrow night?" asked Keith, heart pounding.

"Yeah, of course, why wouldn't I?" Lance giggled, smiling at Keith.

"Heh-heh, yeah...."

"Are you going, Keith?" the Cuban male asked his boyfriend.

"Uhm, expect me to be there. I have a surprise for you there," Keith said, winking at Lance.

"Ooo, please do tell me more about this surprise of mine~" Lance smirked, scooting closer to Keith.

"No can do, Lance. If I told you what the surprise was, it wouldn't be a surprise anymore, now would it?" chuckled Keith.

"Awe, you're no fun, Kogane." pouted Lance playfully, smiling. Keith laughed at Lance softly, his smile widening a bit.

Omg, he's so cute when he's smiling....... I NEED TO MARRY HIM. THAT'S FINAL. Lance thought to himself, wide-eyed while a deep shade of red crawled into his face.

"Sorry for coming a bit late, class. I had to take care of a few things with Allura regarding exams and tests, but now we're back in business." Shiro said, sitting down at his desk. "Now, today we're going to finish the lesson on Comprehending Informational Text."

Tuesday||Lunch||12:42 p.m.

"Ugh, school is such a pain..... It's a living hell...." complained Lance, sliding down in his seat.

"Sorry Lance, but this so called 'living hell' is where you see your boyfriend, so...." Pidge commented, sitting down at their table.

"Yeah, true....." admitted Lance, sitting up a bit.

"She's got a point there, Lance." Keith said, sitting down at the table.

"Okay, okay, I get it. School is both good and bad." said Lance, rolling his eyes.

"Are you giving us sass, Lance?" retorted Pidge, raising an eyebrow.

"No.......... W-why would I give you s-sass?!" Lance asked, sweating. "Heh-heh....."

"Okay, just making sure....." said Pidge, eating her peanut butter sandwich.

Tuesday||After-school||Spanish Class||4:30 p.m.

Keith finished singing the song in Spanish, opening his eyes slowly to see his teacher smiling warmly at him.

"H-how was that?" Keith asked, taking his hands off of the grand piano.

"That was majestic, Keith!! You'll do great tomorrow in front of Lance!" exclaimed Nyma.

"Thank you, Ms. Nyma. It means a lot. I hope I don't stutter tomorrow on stage...." gulped Keith, a bit nervous.

"You won't, and to make sure you don't, think about something that makes you feel happy and safe. Understood, Keith? That may help you tomorrow," Nyma said, her hand on Keith's shoulder.

"Think of something that makes me happy and safe? I know exactly who to think about," sighed Keith, smiling at the piano.

"Is it Lance?"

"Uh, how'd you guess?"

"Keith, you two are dating. Plus, that smile and blush on your cheeks kind of gave it away."

"Uh, was it that obvious?" asked Keith, chuckling.

"Um, maybe just a bit," giggled Nyma.
