Cuddle Buddy

Flushed Faces

Lance was usually the first to waken between them. Hey, beauty takes time to perfect. While, Keith gets ready in less than 10 minutes, Lance takes his time perfecting his already perfect face (in his opinion).

 

He got up to his noisy alarm, being the deep sleeper he was, it had to be loud, or he would have no woken up.

 

Keith shifted on his bed, hiding his ears behind his pillow with a red cover. Once the blaring noise was gone, he calmed and tried to go back to sleep.

 

Lance stretched while yawning before preparing to do his morning routine. He got all his stuff and walked towards the shared bathrooms and looked at himself in the mirror. He cursed under his breath when he realized because he had cuddled with Keith, he had forgotten to put on his nightly face mask.

 

A strong blush crawled its way to his cheeks at the memory as his brain finally processed what had happened the night before. He, Lance Mcclain, cuddled with him, Keith Kogane. Keith, the guy he was having a one sided rivalry with, was cuddled by him.

 

Lance chewed on his inner cheek and forced it down, gripping onto the edge of the sink. Why had he been so upset the night before when Keith had left? He gulped his feelings down and continued his morning routine.

 

Eventually, Lance did finish getting ready. He walked back to the dorm. He leaned against the door for a moment, watching the sleeping Keith before pushing himself off and  making his way (down town) towards his bed. He sat down on the edge and poked Keith’s side. “Wake up, Mullet.”

 

Keith turned to his side and looked up at Lance with a sleepy look. He sat up on the bed and yawned, his eyes watering slightly as he rubbed at them with his hand. His bed head was funny and made him look adorable.

 

Lance smiled fondly for a moment with a faint smile before getting up. “Well, hurry up so you are not late to class. We’ll meet up with Hunk and Pidge as per usual.” Keith nodded to show that he heard him as Lance draped his backpack straps onto his shoulders and left.

 

Lance could not focus as well in the first class. His mind kept floating back towards Keith sleeping and his calming warm before he fell asleep the night before. He longed to be back in bed with the raven haired male instead of listening to his professor’s bland voice. His face would flush at the thought and he slid slightly down on his seat as if he could disappear that way.

 

The class ended soon after he was finally able to focus on the older female’s voice up ahead. He could just ask someone for notes, right? No biggie. He would do that later. For now, he had to meet up with his buddies.

 

He quickly left the building and walked to a nearby park. He strolled to a bench, near the edge of the park. He usually ended up being first since his building was close. The sun was out and there was a tree creating shade close by. Instead of sitting on the bench, he plopped down on the ground, his face looking up the sky. His eyes closed, enjoying the quietness for a bit.
