The Red String Of Fate. (Klance)

Closeted

A/n No relation to Queen or Bohemian Rhapsody. It's just a really good song.

"What the hell is your problem Keith?!"

"Me?! You're the one who-"

"Oh you just love to hear your self talk don't you!"

"Lance your such a little sh-"

"Enough!" Shiro slammed his palms onto the table as he stood. Keith and lance had almost forgot they where at the dinner table with Coran, Allura, and the rest of the paladins.

"I've had it with you two! You can't even let us have a peaceful meal for one hour! One hour, of being civil and you can't even handle that!"

Shiro was incredibly angry. His face was tinted in a light shade of pink from shouting.

"If you aren't going to eat, than come with me!" He says getting up from his seat and walking out of the room.

Lance and Keith followed. Not because they wanted to, but because they didn't want to find out what would happen if they didn't.

They followed Shiro away from the dining room, away from the sleeping quarters, away from anywhere interesting in the castel. Shiro opened a small door leading into what looked liked a small room.

"Keith, I need you to get me something from the back of this closet."

Confused, Keith went as far back into the large closet as he could before he realized there was nothing there.

"Shiro I-" Keith turned around just in tome to see Lance falling towards him and the door shutting behind him.

The two boys heard the sound of a lock from the door ahead as they where trapped in the dark, small space.

"You can come out when you two are willing to be nice to each other. I can't handle the constant fighting anymore."

And with that, Shiro left. Keith and lance where shocked as they listened to shiro's footsteps slowly getting quieter as they got further and further away.

    It was in that moment, Keith realized...there was barely enough room for the twos boys to fit together in this closet.

Lance, realizing the was currently pressed against Keith in an attempt to steady himself, stepped away from the raven haired boy awkwardly.

Keith hadn't noticed he was holding Lance until he backed away, gently pushing himself out of Keith's arms.

He blushed a light shade of pink, glad it was
So dark lance couldn't see. He missed the warmth of Lance's body pressed against his.

Not because it was lance of course, but he was so warm. Keith just wanted to hold him.

Why?

He always had a fascination with the blue eyed boy, ever since the Garrison. The hated Lance yet he wanted to learn every detail about him as if Keith were a sponge. He wanted the tan skinned boy to trust him. To tell him everything about himself as if Keith needed to know.

He was drawn to him. And he absolutely hated it.

"Don't even try to talk to me right now Keith" he said stepping as far away from him as physically possible.

"Same here dude." This was going to take a long time.

. .

"Keith do you believe in the red string of fate?"

Lance and Keith had been in a calm conversation about their families. The question confused Keith. Why would he ask me this.

"I don't know. It seems pretty far fetched. I've never met anyone who had confessed to their soulmate. No one I know can see their string. I have no reason to believe it."

"My parents can see their string."

Keith was silent. What was he supposed to say?

"I suppose there's a chance. I don't have anything to prove it right but I don't bave anything proving it wrong either. I take it you believe in it?"

"It's more of a hope than a belief. I want it to be true because I want to have a soulmate. And I want to find my soulmate."

The two boys sat quietly thinking about the conversation they just had.

"I'm bisexual."

Keith choked. Why was he telling him this? No one asked.

"Um... okay?" He replied.

"I just thought you should know." Why the fuck should I know. What does it matter to me?

Keith wasn't upset that Lance had told him. He was happy that he trusted him. He was upset about how happy it made him.

And with that the conversation ended. No one talked, no one moved. Just silence.

. .

At some point during the night, Shiro remembered that he had forgotten Lance and Keith in the closet.

When he opened the door he found them asleep with Keith's head in Lance's lap.

Keith once heard that it takes seven minutes to fall in love. As much as he wanted to deny it, this had been his seven minutes.

He was in love with Lance.
