A Secret Crush

Love

Lance stayed over at Keith's room that night. They watched some earth movies that Pidge had on her laptop.

They got through a few movies before Keith dozed off in the middle of Twilight. Lance chuckled a bit as Keith snuggled his head under Lance's chin and started to purr. Lance continued to watch the movie while playing with Keith's thick, (hehe thick as the atlas' thighs (I'm so cringe srry!)) black, soft hair.

"I love you so much Keith. You have no idea." Lance sighed and tilted his head back to look at the ceiling.

Keith mumbled something and Lance's heart stopped. Did he hear me?! Was he awake?!! Shit!

To be honest it didn't really matter because those words would come out sooner or later, but Lance wasn't ready to let Keith hear them.

Keith hugged Lance's torso tighter, "I love you too loser." He mumbled. Still half asleep. And not knowing what he was doing to Lance's heart.

Lance wanted to cry, smile, scream, jump around the room like a monkey, hug Keith as tight as he could, and crawl into a hole and die at the same time. His emotions were bouncing off the walls and his heart rate started to pick up the pace. I don't want to wake him up more! My heart please... Calm. The. Crow. Down!

What he didn't know, Keith had woken up a few minutes ago right after he had said what he said. And his emotions were about as dramatic as Lance's. Except he also was questioning if he had actually heard what Lance said and said what he said. Was it a dream?

Keith's eyes shot open as he felt anxiety come off of Lance in waves as his heart rate spiked. IT WASNT A DREAM!!! FUCK!

Therefor, they both were having internal panic attacks without the other knowing for about five minutes.

Keith decided to prop himself up to show Lance he was awake and pecked him on the nose. Lance's face burned a vibrant shade of red as his heart rate picked up faster. Keith then put his forehead on Lance's and looked into his eyes.

"I love you Lance. You are my idiot." Keith said firmly, but only loud enough for Lance to barely hear.

Lance smiled sweetly, "I love you too my Kitten." He cooed before kissing him.

They softly kissed each other for the next few minutes before breaking apart and falling asleep. Lance kissing the top of Keith's mullet before dozing off into a peaceful sleep.
