Slow dance with you

Ignored

Lance waited by Keith's first hour class with his coffee while students passed by or entered the class. He sipped his own coffee as he set Keith's chai latte on the ground to text who the coffee was for.

L: you running late?

L: I have coffee

L: should I just set it on your desk?

L: did you die?

L: did you get arrested again?!?

L: I'm sensing assassin came after you vibes

L: BAAAAAAAABYYYYYYYYY COME BACK

L: I SPENT AN EXTRA DOLLAR SO YOU GOT HONEY MIXED IN IT!!!! COME DRINK YOUR CHAI

L: you sick?

Lance groaned putting his phone away as the minute bell rung meaning he had a minute to get to class.

He walked in Keith's class and set the coffee on his desk as he wrote on a sticky note.

If not taken by Keith by end of class it's a free for all- LM

"Keith didn't show up?" Plaxum walked to her desk that was behind Keith's.

"Yea he's not answering my texts either," lance whined as plaxum grabbed the coffee that was for Keith.

"Hm he's defiantly a chai guy, I'll let you know if he comes around, maybe he's ignoring you," plaxum shrugged sipping now her coffee.

"Why would he be ignoring me? We haven't fought or anything!" Lance cried out.

"Well why would he ignore you? Say something?" Plaxum asked curiously leaning back.

"Oh my god... I said love you to him last night!" Lance almost screamed covering his face.

"Hm seems reasonable," the blue haired girl nodded.

"Shit man," lance groaned walking out of the class as the bell rung and he was now late to his own class.

Maybe he should let Keith breathe then, it might've been to soon to even say that kind of crap like that. He already said he loves Keith but not straight up 'I love you'. Shiro said he was afraid of loving someone and opening up like that, it's so soon anyways!

Lance pouted to himself as he walked to class with his mind barely functional without thinking about Keith and his own stupid words.

"You think Keith's mad at you cause you said you love him?" Pidge asked flatly as lance ranted about what he could've done wrong.

"I'm mad at you cause you don't say you love me!" Matt cried out. "I need attention too McClain!"

"I know mi amor," lance patted his head smiling.

"But back to my boyfriend and not my husband, I don't know if we're just not ready for that stage, like we love each other but saying it out loud like that is... different and a bigger thing than you think," lance rambled during lunch.

"You obviously make Keith happy, he wouldn't ignore you for it," hunk smiled at him gently.

"He didn't say it back,"

"Oh... you might've just scared him a little," hunk tried as he ate chip.

"Keith doesn't get scared," pidge scoffed.

"Of feelings yea he does, Keith's not afraid to kick ass but when it comes to his own feelings then he's more shy," lance explained gently as he checked his phone. Nothing.

"If he doesn't come to school tomorrow or doesn't talk to you just go to his place and talk it out, he may just need time," shay said kindly as she touched lances hand gently.

"Your right, your right, we can't just be together all the time, we need independence too, not a big deal," lance breathed grabbing his sandwich and started to eat.

"In the mean time, did someone miss me?" Lance smirked at Matt who had a cosmic brownie.

"You see the brownie then you start paying attention to me?" Matt asked flatly.

"You know your my number one," lance cooed leaning against Matt and stole a bit of the brownie before Matt could stop him.

"Baby no! My brownie!" Matt shrieked.

"Baby yes," lance laughed sipping his coke.

Lance drove home with his music blasting like usual but this time Keith didn't yell at him to turn it down or rolled his eyes smirking at lance singing to him loudly. But it was how they are, and Keith never really hated it, he just didn't want to get involved.

He pulled up in his drive way and hummed the song as he turned off the car while grabbing his backpack while whistling when blue ran up to him barking.

"Hello my favorite girl," lance cooed at his pit bull smiling as she licked his face. He stood up but saw Keith sitting on his porch stairs.

"Hey you, where you been?" Lance walked to him but Keith seemed different.

He walked closer and saw tear stains still wet on his face as his eyes where emotionless with his hands tucked close to his stomach. Lance knew something was wrong, Keith never cries... unless it was really something important.

"Keith? What happened?" Lance knelt in front of him as he grabbed his hands gently trying to get Keith to look at him.

"Keith... was it James?" Lance asked softly but it got Keith to shake his head.

"What happened?" He asked again brushing Keith's hair from his face as a new tear ran down his face while his indigo eyes where slightly red and puffy.

"I don't know.." Keith whispered.

Something really bad must've happened, could it be his dads anniversary..? It's not his birthday. Lance has never seen Keith like this, mustve been crying harder before, his voice was scratchy a little as he snuggled a few times.

"Talk to me," lance looked at him softly but Keith's bottom lip trembled a little.

"My mom... she came back,"
