The New Bodyguard Klance

Chapter 5

Keith's Pov

It was bright and early the next and I was outside the Palace, at the bowing station, with Shiro. We were practicing with our aim, shooting arrows at targets.

"Hey Shiro," I called, him turning my way. "Do you happen to know any type of information based on what happened between Prince Lance and Lotor? He was crying last night for two straight hours ever since I took him outside to the balcony, after I took him away from him."

"Well, yes in fact. I asked the Princess and it was a long story. Long - story - short, when the Prince was younger, he looked more feminine and Lotor would flirt and tease him. Now that he's seen Lance older and handsome, it gotten worse with him bringing back up the past on his youth and started bullying him. Not only that, but he's also been mulesting him every chance he's gotten. So it's gotten worse between the two."

"Yeah. He told me that he teased him when he was a kid and how much of a bully and perv he is now. And you said that he would be living in the Palace, if he married the Princess, right?"

"Pretty much. So he told you everything about him and Lotor?"

"Yeah."

How dare he. Go off bullying and mulesting the Prince, yet he's supposed to be marrying the Princess?! Hell no!

After training, I walked into the Palace to get changed. That was, until Coran came walking towards me.

"There you are Keith. Prince Lance wanted me to come and fetch you to discuss something with you, before his introduction meeting with Princess Pidge. "

"Oh. Right now?"

"Right now."

"Alright. Thanks."

With that, I walked towards the Prince's doorm for the "discussion." I then entered the Prince's room, seeing him with a file of papers in his hand.

"Ah. There you are," he said, seeing me beside the door.

"You wanted to speak with me, Prince?"

"Indeed. Please come closer and away from the door."

Um... alrighty then.

"Yes Prince?"

"Let's recap on what happened last night."

? That's it? I wonder if he remembers.

"Alright."

"What happened last night?"

Huh. I guess he doesn't...

"Well...... you cried. You told me your long life problem with Lotor."

"I did?," the Prince's ears dropping, pink tinting his cheeks.

"Yes. You told me that he made fun of you because of your childhood youth, but now all he does is flirt, tease, bully, and molest you because of how much you've grown."

"Quiznack!," the Prince shouted, face completely red.

"You also told me about how your mom died and how trapped you feel in this Palace. How scared you are because you don't know what people think of you and how pathetic you fe---"

"Enough! Enough!," the Prince demanded, not making eye contact, face remaining red.

Lance's Pov

I can't believe myself. I told Keith
all of this information based on
my emotions and past? How embarrassing. I can't even make eye contact with my bodyguard.

"Um," he nervously called out.

"Oh I'm sorry," I sarcastically said, a fake smile on my face. "I didn't mean to cut you off. Is there anything you'de like before you are sent to a prison on another planet?"

This should probably get him to spit out what he's been wanting. I could see it in his eyes. Money? Power? Influence?

"Well.... um.... I just wanted to say that for a few years now, I've heard a few bad rumors about the Prince of Altea firing bodyguards just because he's
a whimp and a picky chooser. But.... after you told me your life story and.... after the night we snuck out to see the fireworks, I....
I thought the rumors weren't true. Not anymore. If this is the last day for me to be a bodyguard in your hands, then.... I'de like to see the fireworks with you.... one last time..... please?"

He looked at me with sad, pleading eyes, a slight blush tinted  on his cheeks. So cute.

"What? Your not getting fired," I reasurred, using the work file papers to hide my blushing face, turning around. "Prepare to guard the door for my and Princess Pidge's meeting in thirty - two deboshes."

"Oh! Yes Prince!"

"Oh, and one more thing," I said, pulling a flirtacious smile across my face, turning back to him. "When nobody is around and it's just the two of us, drop the act and call me Lance~."

"Er... uh...."

Keith's Pov

Oh no! I'm in love with the Prince!

With that playing in my head, I rushed over to Shiro's doorm room, after being dismissed from the Prince, and banged on his door.

"Shiro!," I shouted, panicking.

""Keith? What is it? Woah, are you okay? Your sweating and are beat red," he asked, seeming worried.

"I need to talk to you about something, immediately!"

"Oh, alright. Just give me a few minutes to change and I'll be on my way. Go on ahead to the kitchen."

"O-oh, okay."

* ten minutes skipped by *

Ten minutes later, Shiro came back, changed, running up to me.

"Shiro! Thank god your back! I can't believe what situation I got into! I need to resign soon before it gets more serious!"

"Wait, what? What happened?"

"How will I deal with this?! Will the Prince find out if my actions remain this way? Will he hate me?! Aaarg!!!---"

"Keith! What is wrong?!"

I stopped when Shiro shouted, remaining to have a panic attack, and took a deal breath to tell him my secret.

"I have a crush on the Prince," I finally said, ears dropping and a blush creeping on my cheeks.

"Are you serious right now?"
