Here We Go Again - Klance Highschool+AU

Chapter 5

          Keith blushed a bit at being called his boyfriend "its..its nice to meet you" he just stood there, not really sure what to do. Hunk smiled as he got their drinks ready, "That's pretty cool, I know Lance is a bit of a flirt but he means well. And you don't seem like a bad guy, we should all hang out sometime yeah? I could even bring my girlfriend or something it'll be fun!" He turned to Lance and told him the amount to pay, which he gladly paid. Keith heard the words 'a bit of a flirt' he didn't like the sound of that.. He let out a sigh, taking his drink and heading towards the door, waiting for lance while he talked to his friend. Lance came back and took Keith's free hand, "We could stay inside if you want to, they have a few seats outside too. Though I guess you don't like people much, you seemed a bit eager to get out.. Sorry for all that"

          Keith glared at him "That's not the reason, I was about to leave but made myself wait for you. I don't like what Hunk said and its making me rethink going out with you" Lance froze for a second, "Wait what did he say?" He though for a moment.. "Wait he called me a flirt didn't he.. If that's what you mean he wasn't wrong. But that's when I'm single. When people come on to me I often get out of it by makes jokes or charming them, but not because I have any interest. Its become second nature to use flirting to my advantage" Keith shook his head "if flirting is your tactic to getting out of things, then I'm not the guy for you. Find someone who's ok with you flirting with other people" he gripped his drink a bit harder, tears starting to form in his eyes before he walked out the door and left.

          Lance went after him, "Keith you misunderstand-! I don't use it to get out of everything like some slacker, I use it so people will get flustered and stop coming onto me. If I'm dating you I won't need to do that, now I can just tell everyone I already have a boyfriend. I really like you I don't want to lose you. Hunk is my best friend, he could have just been joking. I didn't know you'd take it this hard, I'll have to tell him that you might take thing more literal then others.. But I promise while were dating the only persons I'd flirt with is you." Keith stopped, he turned around to look at Lance, listening to what he was saying "you promise? I wont catch you flirting with another guy or girl? I'm good enough for you?" Lance nodded, "You're more then good enough, you are so far out of my league!" He smiled a little, "I won't flirt with anyone else and if I seem too friendly with someone don't be afraid to step in alright, I'm yours and yours alone."

       Keith nodded at that "if anything, I'm way out of your league, your an amazing guy" he wrapped his arms around Lances waist, pulling him into a hug "I'm sorry I overreacted I just..I don't want to be take for granted for again. Its happened before where someone said they really wanted to go out with me but flirted with other people and was asking other people out.." Lance hugged Keith being careful of their drinks, "I get that, but I'm not the same and I value you so much.. You have no idea how happy you've already made me-" He kissed Keith's cheek. "I'm sorry I worried you and I'll try not to do it again from now on." He looked at the time and signed, "There isn't much time left before I have to be there. I guess we should get going.. By the way, how's your drink?" Keith nodded at that, he took Lances hand into his, lacing their fingers together. He sipped at his drink with a smile "its really good" he sipped at it again as they walked Lance nodded and held Keith's hand tightly as he took a sip from his cup, "I'm glad you like it, mine is a special drink. Once he made it really strong and I was kind of glowy, it was cool but a little scary haha. Miruvor is made for elf's to help with energy and things, so it was odd to feel that"

"That honestly sounds really cool" they walked a bit more and got to the tournament arena "want me to walk you to the locker room? Or just find myself a seat? I'm honestly really excited to watch you" Lance smiled, "I'll walk with you around the building so you don't get lost. Its not too big since this building is only used for school events." After they were inside Lance pointed out the way to the seats, the bathrooms, the locker rooms and the exits. Keith took close note of everything, making sure to remember where everything was "alright, ill head to the seats, good luck out there" he pressed a kiss to his forehead before heading to the seats.

          Lance blushed a bit and smiled. He went into the locker room and started to get changed, Lotor was there though. He ranted to Lance and insulted him as usual. But when Lance told him off and wasn't scared anymore he got mad. He took Lances wrist and slammed his hand against the hard locker, "Don't forget that you are beneath me- You filthy grugach, and I'll make sure everyone knows today. You might as well leave now before things get worse" And with that he stormed out. Lance sat there for a few extra minutes rubbing his wrist before he got changed. Keith was at the bottom of the stands, it was pretty sunny out so he had an umbrella and a sweatshirt on. He waited for the tournament to start, excited to see Lance. He might move up the stands more so he was in the shade, but he really wanted to see lance up close.

          After a few more minutes everyone was out, the competition is divided into ends. An archer shoots 6 arrows per end outdoors. After each end, the competitors walk to the target to score and retrieve their arrows, though in this case the archers have people to recover the arrows for them so the don't waste time in scoring. They all have thirty arrows to make five ends and one person goes at a time do to limited space and shooting area. there were about ten other archers aside from Lance, the went in order of ranks from their school scores. So Lance was second to Lotor in turns. Keith saw everyone come out and got excited when he saw Lance, god did he look handsome in his uniform. He moved up the stands a bit so he was more out of the sun, it was already starting to be a bit much for him. He had a blood caplet bottle with him to drink from in case he got cravings. He saw Lotor go first but wasn't going to get excited until Lance came up. Lance looked around as the announcer was introducing the students and talking about culture and heritage, giving an explanation to their uniforms. Though they were similar Lance's was light blue and each one had a unique design. "Like the samurai," The announcer started, "These uniforms are a symbol, of where you come from, or who you are. They have both light weight fabrics and small amounts of armor from old times when these suits would be untied in war. Where only one may emerge victorious!"

          Keith was getting excited, he still couldn't get over how cool Lances looked. He took a sip from his blood caplet bottle, already getting cravings..he would wait until they left though to be able to hunt. After Lance went the rest took their turns. At the end of that round Lance and Lotor had the same score. Though while he shot anyone could see he was in pain.. Lotor had ended up hurting his wrist more then he cared to admit.. Keith saw that Lance was having a hard time, was he ok? He moved down further, trying to get a better view. He wanted to see all of Lance, he was a really good archer! The next round started and again they tied. Lance wasn't sure how long he could keep it up though. There were three more rounds, maybe if he could slip off to the locker room for a moment and see whats going on.. So after he went he told the ref and went back inside as quickly as he could.

          Keith saw Lance leave and got really worried, was something? Did something bad happen? All he could do was sit and wait though, he wanted to help him but he couldn't. Lance sat down and looked at his wrist, there didn't seem to be any damage, but it was probably sprained.. He sighed and cursed Lotor under his breath, "Tel'athim" He leaned back trying to recall anything he might have learned that could be used, "Healing..? I did learn one chant but, if I do it wrong who knows what could happen.. I'll have to try in anyway. "Menno o nin na hon. I eliad annen annin, hon leitho o ngurth." As he chanted the words his wrist starting faintly glowing, it was the same light blue.. It didn't feel any different but it didn't hurt to move it, did he do it?
