Don't Come Down// Klance

And We're Never Going Down

"Can you stop please." Keith begged as Aurora continued to vigorously massage his shoulders.

"What? I'm your hype woman! You can do this Keith. You can ask that stupid boy out. I believe in you." Keith groaned, putting his head in his hands again as Parker continued to search for his book among the shelves, unbothered by his two idiot friends.

"He's not even into guys." Keith grumbled.

"Oh yes he is. I'm bisexual and I can spot a bisexual from a mile away. Lance is an ass guy. He literally looks at everyone's asses, no mater who it is." Aurora paused. "Okay, he doesn't really look at Iverson's ass but that's because he's a bitch." Parker snickered.

"Keep your voice down or you'll get in trouble." Parker said as Aurora finally let go of Keith's shoulders. She waved Parker away and sat back down next to Keith.

"Now, what pick up line did you finally settle on?" Keith blushed red and picked at a loose string on his uniform jacket.

"None of them. They were all stupid. Lance will hate them."

"Are you kidding?" Parker said. "Lance thrives off of dumb pick up lines. He used to always use them when we were Cadets." Keith knew all too well. How many times had he gotten jealous over this fact? How many times had he wished that Lance would say those pickup lines to him?

"Well I don't know. I'm not good at this guys. This is a stupid idea."

"It's not stupid and you need to face your fears. What's the worse Lance could say to you once you tell him you like him?"

"That he hates me and he's not gay and he's going to cut my dick off for even saying that I like him." Aurora and Parker shared a look.

"Jesus Keith you need to calm down. Take a deep breath." Aurora said. Keith inhaled deeply but was so nervous he just held his breath. What if Lance slapped him? What if Lance just stood there? What if Lance called him a faggot? Keith wouldn't know what to do if he did. "Breathe Keith, breathe." Aurora insisted. He exhaled heavily and felt tears begin to well in his eyes. "Lance is a good guy Keith. I know you've been scorned in the past but even if Lance doesn't return your feelings, he's not going to hate you for liking him. He might even be a little smug and say he knew he was attractive to all genders." Keith laughed nervously and wiped at his bleary eyes.

"Yeah, he might." Keith said with a small grin.

"We'll be right here for you buddy if anything bad happens." Parker said.

"Thanks guys. This means a lot." Aurora and Parker nodded.

"Now, as for your pickup line." Aurora said, getting back to the topic at hand. "I really think you should go with the 'Are you Google' one because it's hilarious." Keith smiled.

"I did like that." Keith murmured.

"Good." Aurora shoved him out of the book shelves towards Lance. "Now go get him tiger." Parker chuckled.

"Good luck buddy." Parker said. With his two best friends giving him thumbs up and cheering him on, Keith almost felt like he could do this. He could talk to Lance. He could blatantly flirt with him. Keith could do this.

Taking a deep breath, Keith began to march towards Lance but as he drew closer to him, Keith's confident exterior quickly faded away. Lance had his Garrison jacket unbuttoned, not military style, a gray shirt visible underneath it. He currently had a pencil between his teeth and was typing away at his laptop, occasionally removing the pencil from his mouth to write something down on a nearby notebook. Keith felt his heart thump wildly in his chest. He always liked the look on Lance's face when he was concentrating on something.
