We sit with our legs thrown over the edge of the building and our fingers laced together. "We'll need rules." Keith says randomly, but I know what he's talking about. "We will if we're going to date." Keith starts and looks up at me, I can see in the moonlight he's blushing and I smile. "Of course we're dating what did you think we were going to be?" I ask with a teasing smile. Keith looks up at the sky and moves his dark hair out of his face, "Honestly I don't know." I move my thumb in circles on the back of his hand soothingly. I still feel terrible for what I did because I know it's my fault.

The burns on his back were- I'm not going to sugarcoat it- disgusting. Red flesh mutilated all over to points where I can see blackened ends of skin where it was burned too harshly. It made me want to puke and cry at the same time, though I'd never say that to Keith. Because he's the one who has to live with those burns for the rest of my life. I look down at my own hand that I unraveled the bandage on. It looks just like Keith's back with the skin burnt and melted. I feel like crying just looking at it. Keith looks at the hand I'm staring at and he meets my eyes. I watch his violet eyes as he lifts my burnt hand to his lips. He gives each knuckle a small kiss and I feel the tears roll down a bit. One day I'll kiss his back over and over so he knows that it isn't ugly. It's just him.

Keith gently lays our hands back down and he gives me a small smile. "You look hungry." I say plainly, I don't know why I said that I just thought I should. Keith nods, "I havent eaten proper food in some days so yeah you could say I look hungry. But where could we get food?" I taps my chin like I'm thinking then point my finger at my brain, "I've got an idea!" Keith frowns, "What is this idea?" I grin and while still hold his hand I stand up. "Come on!" Keith grins back and follows me quickly.

"You sure this is going to work?" Keith whispers to me as we look around the corner of a hallway. I nod dutifully, "Of course Mullet. Trust me." Keith lightly punches my stomach and I smile up at him before signalling the begginning of the plan. I run forward into the hallway and once the nurses look at me I purposely trip. "OH GOD OH MY GOD HELP WOWOWOWOWOW!" I shout and overexagerate. "Shit is he okay?" I hear a male nurse mumble to another. "Honey let's get you to your room." Says another nurse. But all I do is grin and send a thumbs up to Keith who sneaks back into his hospital room. "That room there is mine." I point at Keith's room and two nurses help me up. "Oh please, help me there. I can't bear to walk any longer." I hear the male nurse mumble something under his breath but for his sake I ignore it. The two nurses walk me to the room and open the door for me. "THANKS BYE!" I shout and slam the door shut.

After I pant in relief I hear quiet giggles behind me. I turn around to see Keith laughing with a pile of clothes in his hand. My gaze grows soft as it lands on him, but then I snap back to normal, "We need to change. Are you sure these will fit?" Keith looks at his clothes then looks at me, "Probably not but it's a good thing Allura dropped this hoodie off before she left." Then Keith's eyes go wide and he looks up at me in shock, "Allura. You're still with Allura." Shit I forgot to tell him I broke up with her. "I broke up with her Keith. Honestly it doesn't even feel like I've been dating her these past weeks." Keith still looks uneasy and I grab his hands and press my forehead to his own. "Keith. I love you. Not Allura." I feel a cute little sigh of relief on my lips from Keith but he sucks it in quickly, "Acxa is sleeping literally three feet from us. Let's get changed in the bathroom and hurry out." I nod and pull away from Keith. He hands me my hoodie but I shake my head, "You should wear it. I'll take some of the extra clothes." Keith asks me why but I ignore him and head to the bathroom. "I'll be out quick." I whisper before shutting the bathroom door lightly.

I look down at the clothes in my arms and see gray sweatpants, a black t-shirt and some red boxers. I smirk. Of course he has red boxers. As I take off the hospital gown and slide the boxers up my legs I'll admit (to myself only-) that it feels weird wearing Keith's boxers. It feels really intimate. I shrug off the feeling and put on the sweatpants and shirt. Luckily the shirt and sweatpants were a little baggy so they fit me. I bite my lip as I smile because I think of tiny Keith in my over sized hoodie. Okay he's not tiny but he feels like it sometimes in my arms- I open the door with a small smile because I'm in normal comfy clothes and the mission has been successful. "You done changing?" I ask as I walk back into the room. That's when I see the back of Keith, wearing pants but struggling to get the hoodie on. I wince at the sight of the burns on his back but I slowly walk to him and place my hand lightly on his back so it won't sting.

Keith tenses up but I just bend down and bring my lips to the end of his neck, where the burn starts. I kiss along to his shoulder where I turn him to look at me. Keith's face is completely and utterly red. I have to cover my mouth with my hand as I giggle because he's just too cute. He shoots me a soft smile and then he puts on the hoodie for real this time.

I swear he's too cute for this world.

The hoodie's arms flop because he has tiny t-rex arms and the hoodie goes to his thighs. If looks could kill I'd be begging god to let me into heaven because damn. I shake my head and go into serious mode. "Do you have money on you?" Keith glares at me, "No why would I?" I glare back and whisper yell at him, "I don't know! Maybe your sister has some!" Then I point at his snoring sister who's conked out on the couch. Keith nods, "Maybe. I'll check her purse." I watch as this cute boy tip toes to his sleeping sister and maneuvers a floppy arm into her purse. He moves his hand around for a silent minute until he gasps. With a little smile he holds up a wallet. "Let's get out of this prison shall we?" I extend my hand to Keith like a prince awaiting his princess -er prince- and give him my most charming smile. Keith gingerly takes my burnt hand and nods, "Let's." With a final smile we turn to head out the door.
