OCD

LANCE'S POV: 

I just sit there and stare not being able to move. Do I like him? Does he like me? If he did then why would he run away in the first place? 

I stand up moving the guitar from my lap and placing it on the stool, running after Keith not giving any thought to the teacher that was ow calling after me. I walk not too far out the music room door to find Keith, tears steaming down his red puffy eyes and his knuckles turning white from gripping onto his phone too hard. 

"K-keith.." I whisper not sure how to go about handling this situation.

"How long? How long were you not going to tell me about it Lance?" He looks up making direct eye contact with me. I could see the hurt in his eyes that once used to be filled with excitement and joy. His question took me off guard. Does he know? How did he find out?

"What....?" I say moving to sit down next to him, not really sure what he meant.

"Your Cancer Lance! How long were you not going to tell me! I wouldn't have been such an asshole if I knew you weren't okay! I don't even hate you i'm just scared!" He sobbed throwing his face into his hands. I started to shake. Pulling him into a tight hug. 

"I'm so sorry Keith. I didn't think you would care. I don't want anyone to pity me so I don't tell anyone. W-why are you scared..?" I speak slowly not wanting to pry the answer out of the already crying raven haired boy.

"B-because no matter how hard I try I can't get you out of my head, your everywhere, your in my bed, you in my classes, your at lunch, your at the hospital, everywhere. But at the same time I wish there was more of you everywhere. I'm scared of this feeling in my heart every time I see you. I don't want to be attached to someone, your just going to leave me. Everyone leaves me..." He says his raven locks covering his eyes, becoming damp from the tears still lightly falling from his eyes. 

"I'm not going to leave you Keith. Not anytime soon. I get the same feeling when your around, my heart stops and it feels like everything is out of focus but you. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you, but I didn't want you to push me away or think that i'm going to leave you because i'm not. Heck were soulmates Keith, I couldn't leave you if I tried, or if I wanted to, which I don't by the way." I pull away and chuckle resting my head on the wall behind us staring at the ceiling. "Everything I said in that song was true, I really do feel that way Keith, and I know sometimes I act like a moron and a goofball, but I am capable of being serious too, I just like to see the light in life, even if it's a really really dull light." My joke earns a chuckle and a sniff from Keith he looks up at me with confusion in his eyes. 

"What are you looking at?" I say waiting patiently for his response.

KEITH'S POV: 

I stare at the ocean eyes curiously looking back at me. I start to close the space between us, eyes still connected, staring into the ocean I could almost hear it, the sound of his breathing clashing with the sounds of the waves making my heart skip a beat. And before I knew it our lips touched filling the kiss with all the unfulfilled desire that has been burning between us for months now. 

I slowly pull back missing the warmth that once filled my lips, now being replaced by the growing warmth in my heart. I open my eyes and shoot a toothy grin back at the Cuban who looked like he was glowing. 'was this what I've been missing? This whole time just messing around not accepting anything, and brushing all this stuff off. How long has he felt this way-'

My thoughts are stopped by sniffling coming from Lance, I turn my head to look at him , tears now falling from his once dry face. I pull him into a hug hoping that it helps. I've never been good at helping people, or comforting people, or talking to people, or anything having to do with other people.
