We walked right past the nurses, hand in hand.  I don't know if it was that we were two boys together or just that we look inconspicuous but no one tried to stop us. The clothes were a nice touch on Lance's part, we wouldn't have been able to go anywhere with the hospital gowns on. We did have to go out a back exit, the people in the front would've asked us who we were and where we were headed. Now Lance and I are walking hand in hand in the hospital parking lot.

"Look! There's a Dairy Queen over there!" Lance as he points both of our conjoined hands at a restaurant. I smile at how cute he can be. "Burgers sound really good." I practically drool at the thought of burgers. "I know right!" Lance exclaims. "Oh...I wanted to say you look really cute in my hoodie. Keep it okay?" Lance says as he scratches the back of his head and looks away. I blush but look up at him, "Are you sure?" He nods frantically, "Yes! Definitely!" I smirk and poke his soft cheek and he looks over at me with an amused smile.

"You're cute too Lance." Lance rolls his eyes, "Don't mess with me Mullet." I glare at him and squeeze his cheeks, "I'm not messing. You're fucking adorable." Lance blushes and with wide eyes he looks down at the ground. I watch him with amusement, why is it that we don't get flustered when we say something to the other but we do when the other says something to us? Does that make any sense? Probably not...

"Here we are!" Lance grins and points at the fast food restaurant with his burnt arm, the one I was holding onto. He decided to leave one bandaged and one not. I think he's trying to get used to it. Seeing him smile so effortlessly and abundantly makes me happy but I also worry. Is he just holding everything in again? I push down those worries for later, right now Lance wants to eat burgers and forget everything.

He holds the glass door open for me with a massive bow. I giggle and do one back, "Thank you good sir!" I watch as he stiffens and gets back up slowly and only once he sees I'm watching he smiles again. What was that? Then he walks into the restaurant with me like nothing happened. I cock my head and whisper, "What's wrong?" Lance just shakes  his head with a smile and waves it off. "Let's get some burgers and blizzards!" I quirk an eyebrow, "A blizzard? Like a snowstorm?" Lance looks at me like he's not sure I'm joking or not. "It's basically a mcflurry but more and better flavors." I nod seriously, "I didn't know this was a thing. We must have a blizzard at once!" I throw my fist in the air and look heroic as Lance giggles, "What the fuck Mullet you're so weird sometimes." I just smile softly at him laughing.

Lance asks for the wallet tells me to get a table- me being the  most absolute submissive person if Lance asks for anything- I give him the wallet and find a booth in the corner of the restaurant. i watch Lance smile effortlessly at the cashier as he orders our food. He's amazing like that, he might be having the worst day but he still wants others to have their best. I'm really lucky to have him as a boyfriend.

Wait.

Boyfriend.

Lance is my boyfriend.

WHAT THE FUCK

I run a hand through my hair to keep myself calm and I breathe in and out slowly to calm myself. A bell rings signaling new customers and I don't even bother to look up. Until two figures slide into the booth in front of me. I look up sharply at the intruders of Lance and I's private table to find Lotor and Ezor sitting in front of me. "Keithy! Why're you here all alone? Also you look like shit what happened to you-" Lotor cuts Ezor off with a flick of his hand. "I'd like to know Keith why you and Lance are here alone at about midnight?" I glare at him, "You don't need to know anything about us." Lotor rolls his eyes and Ezor places her head in her hands, "You know there is this rumor going around that you two are gay so maybe hang out with someone else for a while," Then she quirks an eyebrow, "unless you are." I move my glare from Lotor onto Ezor, "It wouldn't matter if we were because we wouldn't tell you." Ezor grins and Lotor looks to be even angrier than before. I wish I punched him that night outside Pidge's family restaurant. God I wish I punched him.

"Wouldn't tell them what?" Lance's heavenly voice asks from beside me. I feel my anger dissipate immediately when I see his innocent and curious face. "Nothing. Here sit with me." I grumble and put on my best moody Keith face. "Hey guys what're you doing here?" Lance asks the two as he hands me our food. Two burgers, one large coke, a large fry, and one blizzard. "We were walking around after a party and we were hungry so we stopped here. Then we ran into Keith! A delightful surprise!" Lotor says with such a fake smile it looks like a grimace. Lance sighs, "Look Lotor I know you don't like Keith and I know he doesn't like you. Stop acting and being fake. What do you want." I smile with pride at Lance's blunt words. Lotor looks caught off gaurd. "I wanted to warn you Lance that recently there have been rumors that you and Keith are in a relationship." Lance cocks his head, "Keith and I haven't gone public yet...How did the school find out already?" Lance gives me this look of fake surprise and I giggle a little. "That is crazy Lance how did they know?" Lance shrugs and I shrug too. Then we take a bite of our own burgers at the same time and bust into a fit of laughter as Lotor and Ezor watch in disgust.

"Look. Lotor you can be a dick. Ezor you're fucking annoying. Can you two please leave our table?" I snort loudly at Lance's words, he looks at me with pride and gives me a thumbs up. I give him one in between giggles. Lotor and Ezor stomp off without saying anything else. I watch with a smile as Lance waves as they walk off. "That was awesome." I say quietly to Lance who gives me a thumbs up and a wink. I take another bite of my burger as I watch the two from the window. Ezor seems to be asking Lotor something but he glares at her and waves it off.

"Isn't Ezor dating your sister?" I ask Lance absentmindedly while watching the two start to argue. "Yeah but I think your sister wants to date her." Lance laughs a little, "Honestly I don't see her charm." I watch Ezor who reaches over and pats Lotor's shoulder, he looks ready to cry. She mumbles something and Lotor swipes at his eyes. I almost feel bad for him until I remember he's going for my man. Mine. Not his. I look back at Lance and take a sip of the soda. "Me either."

After we eat in silence for a couple of minutes Lance asks, "Do you think we'll get in trouble." "Oh II doubt it. We only stole from my sister, sneaked out of a hospital and tricked nurses. You know putting ourselves in danger. So probably not." I say sarcastically and Lance rolls his eyes. "Okay edge lord we should probably get back." I squeeze his hand and desperately meet his eyes. If we go back to the hospital we'll be put in separate rooms and we won't be able to see each other. "Let's not go back yet." Lance eyes me and analyzes my face in silence. "Where do you want to go?" I shrug, honestly I don't know where I want to go I just know I want to go with Lance.

Lance squeezes my hand back, "Keith. You know I want to stay with you but I think it's best for us to go back to the hospital before one of the nurses check in our rooms." I deflate but nod, he makes sense. "I'm sorry. Let's go now okay?" I nod and get up silently and grab our trash. "Here. Try it." Lance holds out the blizzard to me and I grab the cold drink carefully. I sip as I follow Lance out the door. He stretches and groans loudly when we step out of the restaurant. The blizzard is oreo and honestly probably one of my favorite things ever now. "This is so good!" I hum quietly and Lance and I fall into step together, "I know right? Hey let me have some." With that Lance takes the blizzard and we keep exchanging the cold drink until we get to the hospital.
