My Star~ A Klance FanFiction

☆Chapter Five☆

"Not so fast" The quirky boy said, stepping forwards. Ted stepped forwards as well, drawing a fist.

Lance looked at them both, "Don't even think about hurting Keith. If you so much as lay a finger on him, I'll have you to the ground" he threatened, stepping in front of Keith protectively.

The quirky grinned one tilted his head, "Oh, you mean like this? Ted!" He dashed forwards, along with Ted, and grabbed hold of Keith's arms, making him drop the Tea Cups. They shattered across the sidewalk. Keith heard it, and his eyes narrowed a bit under the cloth.

Lance let out a grunt as his own arms were hooked by Ted. He struggled in the grasp, "Let go!" He shouted.

Keith clenched his teeth together. He lifted his right leg, and jolted it behind him, smacking right on the quirky boy's knee cap. He let out a howl of pain and collapsed to the ground, freeing Keith's arms. Keith quickly turned to where he heard Lance struggling, and ran over.

He ended up running into Ted, and they both fell to the ground in a fumble. Keith threw a punch, hitting Ted's jaw. Ted yowled and grabbed the nearest thing, which happened to be Keith's cloth. It ripped, falling off onto the pavement.

Ted gave one look at Keith and screamed, scrambling to stand up. He ran over to the quirky boy, who had managed to stand. The quirky boy's eyes widened, "He's a freak!" He exclaimed, turning tail with Ted and running.

Lance shouted after them, "You'd better run, you cowards!"

Keith stayed on the ground, shaking. I'm.. not a freak.. he thought. He felt arms around him, helping him to his feet, "Lance, are you okay?" He asked, putting a hand on his shoulder to help himself stand.

Lance nodded, "Yeah man, that was awesome!" His eyes sparkled, "You took down two guys-" he paused as he looked at him, "Your cloth is gone.." he looked around, and saw it ripped on the ground. It clicked, "Oh.. that's why they called you.."

"A freak" Keith whispered. He shuddered, closing his eyes. Tears ran down his face. Lance quickly grabbed Keith's arm, "No, Keith, you aren't a freak" he said, in that same confident voice, Keith recognized, from when they paid for the Tea Cups... the Tea Cups..

Keith looked around, "Lance, the Tea Cups.. I heard them shatter. That one boy made me drop them.." he said, facing back towards Lance again.

Lance gave a slight gasp, looking at the ground, "Your right. They did break" his eyes dimmed. He took off his jacket and ripped off his long sleeve, walking behind Keith and wrapping it around his eyes, "By the way Keith, I think your eyes are very unique. I love them" he said firmly, "Don't let anyone ever call you a freak again" He said, finishing, and walking back in front of Keith.

He grabbed his hand, "Come on, I'm going to buy you another Tea set. You don't have enough for another batch, so it'll be my treat. Least I can do for getting my ass saved"

Keith wanted to object, but he found himself obliging, allowing the brunette to bring him back inside. A small smile grew on his face.
