In unison and unspoken, they decided to walk there.
Lance and Keith behind Matt and Shiro.
Matt and Shiro walked as they are, a couple. Hands being held by one another, little distance between them. Matt leaning into Shiro. They looked… disgustingly cute.
Ugh, it made Lance’s desire for a relationship grow. He wanted that contact with someone. Cuddling with Keith was not enough.
He must have sighed at his thoughts because Keith asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I can’t tell you or else it would break our deal. I promised I wouldn’t complain anymore,” Lance said.
Keith didn’t understand for a few moments but when he followed the other’s gaze, he understood.“Is it because they are holding hands?”
Lance just nodded.
Keith mused for a few seconds as hummed. He hesitantly reached towards Lance’s hand.
Lance thought he was going to grab his hand, making his heart skip a beat in his chest. However, Keith did not. Instead, he did something even cuter (In Lance’s opinion). Keith held Lance’s pinky finger with his own.
Keith avoided eye contact with Lance by looking ahead. The only signal that Keith was fully aware of what he did was the strong blush on his pale cheeks and a strain in his jaw.
God he was so cute, Lance wanted to die. It was such a small action, but it meant the world to the blue eyed male. He felt less alone, even if they were not as close as Matt and Shiro who were practically one person. But they were close enough to be linked. Like they were a new couple, just getting used to one another.
His finger tingling at Keith’s touch as if electricity were running through his veins. His heart rate accelerated at the touch. His chest felt full. He couldn’t help, but smile. Maybe being single won’t be bad as he thought, as long as he had Keith as his cuddle buddy.
He inwardly wished the italian restaurant were farther just so he could enjoy the feeling of Keith’s skin against his. No, it is not because he liked Keith in that way, Lance was just touched deprived or something. Obviously. Nothing more.
If they noticed Keith and Lance holding hands earlier, they had said nothing. Maybe a suggestive look from Matt, but it was hard to tell.
