Dressed In Karma | Klance

Chapter 8

"I change my mind... again." Keith trembled, watching as the trailers passed by on the wide screen.

"Oh come on, it won't be that bad." Katie smiled from the other seat, farthest from Keith.

Lance was seated in the middle, acompanied by Katie on his left and Keith to his right.

"If it's that bad, go buy us snacks before the movie starts. The snacks Lance was too dumb to remember buying." Katie teased.

"Hey, i'm not dumb!" Lance objected, earning a laugh from Keith. "Gotta agree with Katie, you're pretty stupid at times."

"So you guys are ganging up on me, huh? I see how it is!" Lance scoffed, crossing his arms dramatically, pouting childishly.

"If you're that upset about it, then tag along with Keith, he looks like he'll need the help." Katie winked, causing Lance to shift his view towards the oriental whom sat beside him.

Even though they were in complete darkness, besides the light iluminating from the film, Lance could easily spot Keith blushing.

"You really don't have to..." Keith reassured. "Nah, It'll be faster. Four hands are better than two." Lance winked, patting keith's shoulder.

If only Lance knew just how much his touch or even just simple eye contact, could fluctuate all of Keiths emotions; like a rippling wave reaching its riptide.

"Anything to get me out of this theater right now would be lovely." Keith trembled, looking at the screen and back towards Lance.

"Did she say what type of candy she liked?" Keith questioned, waiting for a response from the cuban, as the line progressed.

"I dunno, I think she wanted snickers?" Lance responded questioning, other than assuring. "Definately not! Katie loves m&m's!" Keith affirmed smugly.

"I thought you said you didn't know what she wanted?" Lance furrowed his eyebrows, scanning the individual sceptically. "Yeah, but she's my best friend! I think i'd know what type of chocolate she eats the most." Keith rolled his eyes.

"Then why did you ask in the firs-" Lance replied, shortly cut off by the korean! "Oooh look, popcorn!" Keith brushed passed the cuban, smirking devilishly. He knew the best way to tease Lance was to cut him off. He learned that through hanging out with the boy.

Even though Lance was known for bickering at everything and being childish almost all the time, Keith found it somewhat amusing.

Before Keith could distance his way from Lance, the latino easily caught up with the smaller male, locking his arms from behind Keith.

"Not again!" Keith grunted, for what seemed like the thousandth time today. Lance couldn't keep himself from smiling, grinning at every moment as if it were his last. "You asked for it, mullet!"

"Oh, so i'm mullet now? Very original!" Keith pestered, still in between Lance's lock. "It's either that, or Keithy-cake!" Lance smirked, earning yet another groan from Keith.

After atempting release for what seemed like hours, Lance finally let go of the male, earning a scrambled expression from Keith, as if he indirectly yearned for more skin contact.

"Sooo, m&m's right?" Lance cut the akward tension between the two. "Yeah, make sure it's the peanut kind!"

•

"What did we miss?" Lance questioned Katie, arms full of candy and popcorn. "Nothing much, the first few minutes are always boring." Katie smiled. "Pass me the m&m's!"

"Man, i was hoping we missed the entire movie, so i wouldn't make a fool of myself." Keith sighed, hands holding two large sodas.

"That's a scene i wouldn't wanna miss!" Lance teased. "If it gets too scary, you can hold onto my arm!" Lance chuckled, earning a gag from the korean.

"Hand me a soda." Katie cut the two from talking, a small bit of jealousy in her tone. At that, Keith remained silent, not really knowing how to react. Lance reacted the same way as Keith, after akwardly sitting down. Keith did the same, to not be the only one standing up in the movie theater.

Keith was infamous for being the third wheel. He always went with Katie and whatever boy she had with her, so she wouldn't be alone.

So, the boy was used to seeing couples making out beside him.

But this time... was different.

Keith bit his lip, pacing his view from the couple, back to the wide screen. His teeth clenched, scraping one another, trying to invest his thoughts into the movie.

From the corner of his eye, Keith noticed Lance smirking in between his kisses, as if he knew Keith was watching.

This reaction not only angered the korean, but caused him to involuntarily clear his throat.

At that, Katie backed out of their kiss, looking back at the movie screen.

Lance turned to look at Keith, causing the boy to grow uncomfortable.

Keith didn't dare look back at him, but he could feel Lance's eyes piercing him. He clenched onto the chair comforter, grasping onto his soda, until feeling his hand freeze up.

That changed immediately, as a warm sensation came over his arm. The feeling moved slowly down his arm, reaching his wrist and eventually his hand, locking onto it in return.

Lance was holding Keith's hand.

After hyperventialting internally, Keith finally realized what was going on. "Hey." Lance whipered at the darked haired boy, bangs almost covering his red cheeks. "You scared yet?"

"As if." Keith bit his lip. But he was. Terrified, actually. The feeling surrounded him completely and to top it all, Lance knew exactly how he felt. Lance could read Keith like an open book. But why? Why was he doing this?

Keith eventually took his hand out of Lance's grip and placed them in between his thighs, pressing between them. Lance raised his eyebrow, surprised at Keith's decision. But he wasn't satisfied.

Lance cheesily fake yawned, placing this time, his arm around the male, earning yet another flush of embarassment from Keith. He knew just how much control he had over the boy, and he was taking advantage of that.

"I, uh... gotta pee!" Keith blurted akwardly, getting up immediately from his seat and sprinting out of the theater.

Not this time, Mcclain.
