Miles Away | Klance AU

17.

Keith and Lance arrive to Pidge's house, their clothes are completely drenched from the rain. Lance takes Keith's hand and sends him a soft smile. Keith smiles back shyly and looks down to his feet. Lance knocks on the door and Matt opens it.

"Woah! What happened? You two get in a fight and fall into a lake or something?"Matt jokes.(*Cough*Dirty Laundry Reference*cough* XD)

Lance laughs and shakes his head. "We were just outside a little too long. Honestly, we weren't expecting it to rain."

"Yeah, I know right? It never rains in Arizona!" Matt says in disbelief.

He lets Keith and Lance in the house and sits on the couch. "You two have fun though?" He asks.

Keith and Lance both nod before Lance leads Keith into his room. "So... are we gonna tell everyone what happened or...?"

Keith just shrugs. "Can you use your words Keith?" Lance asks, crossing his arms and raising a brow.

Lance sighs and laughs a little. "Okay, well I gotta shower." Lance suddenly removes his shirt and runs his hand through his hair.

Keith blushes and his mouth opens. "L..Lance! What are you doing?"

Lance brings his arm down and furrows his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"Are you seriously undressing while I'm in here?" Keith asks in disbelief.

Lance sighs and crosses his arms once again. "Keith," he begins, raising an eyebrow, "I was literally just removing my shirt because it's sticking and making my skin itchy."

Keith shuts his mouth awkwardly and nods. "Oh..okay."

Lance laughs and enters the bathroom. Keith exits the bedroom and heads out to the front door. "Um hey, Matt, I'm going to head to my house," Keith says. Matt nods and waves bye to Keith. Keith texts Lance and heads out of the house.

When Keith arrives home, he enters his small bathroom and showers, the water cold from so many other families using up hot water. He changes into black sweatpants and a loose red t-shirt. He puts his hair up in a ponytail and walks to his tiny living area and watches his TV.

Ding!

Lance: Keith! Why didn't you tell me you were a good kisser??? (Kiss emoji)

Keith awkwardly laughs to himself and he blushes. 'I can't believe this goofball' Keith thinks to himself. He shifts uncomfortably from his tattoo, hoping it's okay considering it's new and was exposed to water.

———

Keith: Wasn't sure if that'd be cocky or not. (Shrug emoji) I guess I now know I'm a good kisser though! (Wink emoji)

Keith reads what to do if he gets his tattoo wet and drops his phone on the couch before heading to his bathroom. He grabs a cloth and lightly and carefully pats his tattoo dry. He pauses. 'I wonder what Mom would think of this...?' Keith wonders. He looks down and let's his shirt drop over his tattoo again and goes back to the living room.
