Klance // College AU

Chapter One

Everyone around him could be categorized into three groups; Nerds/Geeks, guys who've got their shit together, and guys who do not. He wondered what category he would be in.

Keith Kogane stood in line at NAIT, a day before his first official day of college. This morning when he woke up, he had packed up his apartment, taking all his belongings with him. In the end all he had was a suitcase of clothes, and a duffle bag of his few personal items, including his cell phone, lap top, and all his school books. He had then given his landlord the key to his apartment and drove for three and a half hours to NAIT.

He was aware that he was one of the very select few who were entering this journey alone. His whole life he'd been thrown from foster home, to foster home. Two years ago when he turned sixteen, he had gifted himself with getting legally emancipated, or rather starting the process.

Keith didn't mind being alone, he wasn't lonely. In fact, he was used to being alone to such an extent that he was signed up for a singular dorm. The line crawled forward slowly, and eventually it was Keith's turn.

There was a heated argument about why Keith was booted off of the singular list. After admitting defeat, he took his key to the COL building, and stepped into his room. It was small, the door had just enough room on either side to fit a bed, and it was just long enough to squeeze in a desk. The only difference, was that on the right side was the bathroom. And the left, a closet he'd have to share with his roommate.

The lady at the desk had told Keith that his roommate was another freshman, Lance McClain. Lance had not made it to their room yet, so Keith had pick of his side. He chose the left side with the closet, and unpacked his clothes into his half. His shoved his duffel under his bed after removing his electronics and school books. He had not brought any photographs or posters, nor had he brought any books or magazines.

He placed the electronics and books in a drawer in his nightstand, and his side of the room looked exactly as it had before. It was then that he realized he was supposed to bring his own bedding. He left his in his apartment, as it had come with it and he didn't need any extra items. He put his textbooks on his bed to show that he had taken that side, and left the room to tour the campus.

When Keith returned, he found the room exactly how it had been. Lance had not come yet. He had been out for at least two hours, walking and then going to get food at a nearby pizza place. It was now ten past nine, and Keith was tired. Though he could hear all the parties going on around him, he decided to wait until tomorrow for that kind of stuff.

Keith decided he didn't need blankets or pillows for now. He drifted off to sleep.

***

Around four in the morning, Keith was awoken by a drawer slamming beside him. It was his nightstand. There was a curse, and a tall figure tiptoed backwards, tripped, and fell onto its back. Keith was already on his feet by the time the stranger gained his balance and Keith pinned him against the wall. "Who are you?" He declared. "And why the hell were you in my stuff?"

"Names Lance. I was looking for a pair of scissors." Keith glared, but let him go. Lance was much taller, but lankier than Keith was. He was tanned and his dark brown hair was cut short. Keith however, was broad, and his dark hair cut in a mullet. Lance needed the scissors to cut his bedding out of its package, so he could sleep.

"Well, I'm going back to bed, so please stay quiet." Keith crawled back onto his bed and shut his eyes. Not entirely comfortable with the knowledge that Lance was still up and could see him.

"What are you doing?" Lance inquired.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" Keith didn't open his eyes as he replied. "I'm going to sleep."

"You don't have blankets! Or pillows! What are you? A vampire?" Lance chuckled. Keith liked his chuckle. This is why he did not want to share a room with another guy.

"If you don't shut up I'm going to have to suck your blood."
