Klance - Heat

Day 2 - Part 4

Keith had suddenly lost his appetite.

Lance had just said that he'd never date him. 'Why did Hunk say that to him? It was supposed to be a secret, well Hunk said it as more of a joke. But still!' Was what was going through Keith's brain. He did a one-eighty and made his way back to the room he now had the burden of staying in.

How was he supposed to share a bed with Lance now? Lance only thought that Keith liking him was a joke, that was fine. But Lance saying that he wouldn't date him with such sincerity was enough to make Keith want to cry, and he never cried.

Guess what Keith was doing? Yes, that's right. He was crying. All because Lance didn't like him back, he felt pathetic. 'Crying over something like this, you're so pathetic. No wonder he doesn't like you' a voice in his head said, 'also the fact that you're always moody when he talks to you, you always snap at him. God you have such a short fuse! You need to be more chill Keith.' Keith pulled at his hair and muttered "Not today." He needed to stay at least a little sane.

-another time skip-

It was about 2 hours later when Lance walked into the room, Keith was curdled up in a ball purring. 'Hey, that's pretty cute' was Lance's initial reaction and he had now qualms with it. He thought a lot of things were cute, didn't mean he liked them contrary to what modern media would tell you.
He walked into the bathroom to wash up as he, Hunk and Pidge had found some weird Altean paint which, as it was them, lead to a paint fight. He was covered in red and blue paint, both mixing to make a pretty purple colour. He turned the tap on and splashed the water all over himself, he enjoyed this feeling. The feeling of water. It reminded him of home.
After washing himself off and drying he headed to the bed, Keith still asleep, and decided that a quick nap would be fun. Crawling onto the bed, Keith rolled over slightly with his face now visible.
Lance examined his rivals face, it was red and blotchy with tear streaks down his cheeks. Upon seeing this, as well as Keith starting to whine and whimper in his sleep, he pulled Keith to his chest. He muttered words of comfort to him whilst rubbing circles on his back.

Lance was perplexed, he really wanted to know what was up with Keith.
