A Secret Crush

Secrets

Lance and Keith talked and joked for a few minutes before Lance's stomach growled. He laughed nervously as his face flushed in embarrassment.

"I guess I'm hungry... it is time we go get Breakfast."

Keith sighed and nodded. Getting up to go to the door he stopped. Hesitating. He turned back to Lance to see he was nervous too.

"Should we tell them?" Keith asked. Nervous about the groups reaction.

"About what?" Lance said dumbly. Knowing the answer clearly.

"This." Keith groaned annoyed gesturing extravagantly to the two of them.

"Um. Let's try to find the right time. I mean... I want to. But let's not skip in and suddenly say, 'Hey! We're a thing now!' We need to find a right time and place to announce... you know?" Lance explained. Not sure how to say it like he was afraid of his sexuality and shit like what happens on shows and movies.

Keith sighed in relief, "That's exactly what I was thinking." And it was.

Lance also breathed a sigh and smiled at the red paladin. Getting up to walk over to him. Keith visibly stammered as Lance got inches away from him.

Lance quickly but firmly planted his lips on Keith's forehead before stepping back to let Keith out the room. Keith hesitated though. Dazed by what had just happened and then pressed the button. He peeked his head out and walked out.

Just to play it safe. Lance walked out a few minutes later and followed Keith. He ran up to Keith and pecked his lips on the back of the boy's neck, and scaring him to the point of yelling out loud.

"Shit! LANCE!!" Keith said startled. Running after the already sprinting boy.

Lance smiled to himself as he ran harder towards the dining room. Keith was annoyed but giddy chasing Lance down the hallways to the dining room.

"Lance! Get back here!" Keith yelled as sternly as he could. But it came out a few chuckles at the end.

Lance skidded around a corner into the dining room and calmly walked in. Slightly winded rom the run.

Pidge looked up at him as he sat next to her, "You're late..." Pidge mentioned with a full mouth.

"Don't talk while you're chewing Pidge." Shiro sighed.

Keith walked in shortly afterwards and sat down next to Lance. Pidge looked on suspiciously but didn't mention anything.

Shiro and Keith nodded to each other in acknowledgement of each other. Remembering the talk the night before, but each for different reasons.

Lance pressed his calf against Keith's while they were silently eating. The whole group was tired. Keith glanced at Lance slightly startled but the advancement.

Lance glance back and smirked a little bit. Keith's startles face was slight, but Lance could make it out.

Keith blushed a light shade of pink and turned back to his food. Pidge was silently observing the pair. Not noticing their legs pressed up against each other.

Shiro was rubbing his forehead trying to subside a headache that's been bothering him and Hunk was also observing the two paladins, but with less interest. To busy eating to really care.

Lance took a bite of his food goo and chewed loudly. Keith looked over at him and couldn't resist the opportunity.

"Eat with your mouth closed Lance." Keith sighed in mock annoyance.

Lance looked over at Keith and started chewing louder. The boy resisted the urge to laugh, "LANCE!" He shouted mimicking rage.

Lance swallowed smirked, "What? Is Keith bothered by my mouth?" Lance said pursing his lips dramatically.

Keith put his hand to his face to cover a blush, "no. I'm bothered by your loud chewing noises." Keith explained flustered.

Lance poked at Keith's cheek, "aw come on Keithy boy. You love me." Lance teased. Knowing to truth all to well.

Keith's face grew more red by the minute and he stormed out the room before anyone noticed. Lance chased after him.

"Keith!" Lance whined, "I'm just joking."

All of the remaining paladins looked to each other in silence. Well... until Pidge broke the silence herself.

"They're definitely hiding something." She said, everyone nodding in agreement.
