Klanuary - One shots full of fluff

Day 4 - Prom Night

A/N: Sorry I'm a few days behind, it's been a crazy start to the year! There may be a little language, so be warned (it's nothing too bad). I also know nothing about Prom, so here you go.

"Hey, Keith!" I heard Lance call as I walked through the big double doors. He was sitting with our group of friends under the big tree in the courtyard, discussing prom. Even though some of the group were dating, we had all decided to go in one big group. One last hurrah, with the people we cared about the most, before we left for college next year.

I sat down next to Allura. They were finalising where we would get ready, and Hunk was making the final confirmation on the Limo.

"So there's 8 of us in total, right?" he asked, and everyone nodded in agreement. "The Limo will get to Keith's at 6:30, we will be at Allura's, to pick up you ladies by 7, and we will get back here at school by 7:30, ready for the night to kick off at 8?" Everyone nodded, and began to chat excitedly amongst themselves. Allura and her cousin Romelle were pulling at Pidge's hair, trying to figure out what whey could do with it, while Lotor, Lance and Shay were discussing who was taking who, and who they thought would be crowned King and Queen. Everyone had their bets on Allura and Lotor, but Lotor wasn't so sure.

Hunk came over, and sat next to me.

"Are you ready, for, you know?" he asked quietly, looking around to make sure no one was watching.

"I don't know..." I replied, blushing, "I don't know if it's the right thing to do."

"Trust me," Hunk chortled, "It's the right thing. He likes you. You've planned it all perfectly. Everything's ready to go, you've just got to man up!"

"But..." I started.

"20 seconds..." he reminded me, as he patted my knee, got up and walked away.

I sat there, head in my hands, internally freaking out, when Lotor called over to get my attention.

"Hey, Keith," he called, "I believe our boy Lance here is going to take out Prom King, who do you think is going to be his queen?"

Everyone instantly turned and glared at him then, everyone except Lance, who's eyes were on me, that big, goofy grin making me stutter as I answered.

"Ah... I don't... I don't know..." I shrugged.

"The correct answer, would be Allura!" she said, as she jokingly pushed me, then whispered in my ear, "Don't mind him. He may be my boyfriend, but, god, he can be an arse sometimes!"

I just laughed with everybody else, flipping Lotor the bird when Lance wasn't looking.

*****

Lance and I had an interesting history. We'd known each other since we were kids, and I'd had a crush on him for about as long. But he was always the ladies man, flirting with everyone, dating most of the cheerleading team, he even had a pretty serious relationship with Allura, while I just sat by and watched.

Eventually I started seeing Adam, who was a couple years above us, and things were going great. Until one drunken night last year, Lance broke it off with Allura, told me he liked me, and went and hooked up with Pidge's brother, Matt.

I was torn, because I was seeing Adam, and I couldn't just leave him, especially because I had no idea if sober Lance was brave enough to admit to what drunk Lance had confessed. 

Things got weird with our group for a while. I felt awkward. Lance felt awkward. Allura was pissed at Lance. Pidge was pissed at Lance. It was just a huge mess.
But then Lance and Matt became more than just a hookup, and Lotor asked Allura out, so tensions eased. I was happy with Adam, but I often wondered what could have been.
