It was the next day at school and the day had flied by as a blur. I got my test back from math and I got a 100%. Take that algebra. Now it was lunch. When I walked into the cafeteria I saw a karaoke machine and a big sign that said karaoke today only. I than was tackled by Lance who looked at the sign and smiled.
Before he said anything I said, "No. "
He gave me puppy dog eyes and kept saying, "Please please please"
I let out a frustrated sigh and went to chose a song.
After a few minutes of back and forth we decided on, That would be enough from Hamilton. I would do Alexandre's part an Lance would do Eliza's part. The music started:
Lance:]
Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around...

[Keith:]
How long have you known?

[Lance:]
A month or so

[Keith:]
Eliza, you should have told me

[Lance:]
I wrote to the General a month ago

[Keith:]
No

[Lance:]
I begged him to send you home

[Keith:]
You should have told me

[Lance:]
I'm not sorry

[Lance (Keith):]
I knew you'd fight until the war was won (The war's not done)
But you deserve a chance to meet your son
Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now

[Keith:]
Will you relish being a poor man's wife
Unable to provide for your life?

[Lance:]
I relish being your wife
Look around, look around...

Look at where you are
Look at where you started
The fact that you're alive is a miracle
Just stay alive, that would be enough

And if this child
Shares a fraction of your smile
Or a fragment of your mind, look out world!
That would be enough

I don't pretend to know
The challenges you're facing
The worlds you keep erasing and creating in your mind

But I'm not afraid
I know who I married
So long as you come home at the end of the day
That would be enough

We don't need a legacy
We don't need money
If I could grant you peace of mind
If you could let me inside your heart...

Oh, let me be a part of the narrative
In the story they will write someday
Let this moment be the first chapter:
Where you decide to stay
And I could be enough
And we could be enough
That would be enough

We finished the song and I noticed Pidge was recording. Shoot that little gremlin. I shot them a quick glare. Than everyone started clap. Some even stood up. Lance and I took a quick bow and than retreated to the lunch line. 
Sorry that this chapter is so short. I couldn't help but do Hamilton and I thought this song would be adorable for Klance.  You are welcome my Ham Fam.
