Klance One - Shots || DISCONTINUED

37. Somebody to Love (Fluff)

Modern/Music AU (It's hard to explain how I'm going to go with this story)

Lance was leaving his classroom from doing extra credit work for his science class, he was falling a bit behind and he wanted to get back in the game. He gathers his things and puts them in his duffel bag and thanks his teacher before walking towards his locker that's just down the hall. He walks past the small music room, stops when he hears the strumming of an acoustic guitar. He stops and peeks through the window to see a boy he really didn't know well, he had only ever walked past him in the hallway. His eyes widen when he fully processes the song that he's playing and never in his entire life has he ever heard an acoustic cover of Queen. He stands there for a bit before a teacher startles him.

"He's been practicing that song for months now, the teachers really enjoy it when he uses the music room." His science teacher smiles and Lance looks at him with a little embarrassment. "Do you think he's practicing for something?" His teacher pretends the to think before replying, "He's practicing for the school talent show for the seniors who want to go into the music industry, if you win you get a full scholarship admission to the Voltron Music Academy." Lance didn't know he was a grade above him, he looks a little younger than his age. He turns back to the window of the door and watches the black haired senior. The teacher leaves without telling Lance because he's clearly really interested in the upperclassmen.

The black haired boy can feel he's being watched, so he stops and turns to the door. Lance goes red and moves quickly away from the window and just as he decides to turn back to the door the door opens slowly and he pokes his head out with pink cheeks. "I-I didn't know you were listening..." He says shyly and Lance nervously scratches the back of his head. "Sorry... Yo-Your voice drew me in as I was leaving..." Lance is far too embarrassed to look him in the eye. "It's fine, I - Um, I'm Keith." He decides to introduce himself. Lance finally looks at Keith, his cheeks go a little bit redder and Keith notices and his pink cheeks go a dark crimson. "My names Lance." He nervously smiles at Keith and then holds out his hand, Keith looks down at his hand and he hesitantly shakes it. "It was nice meeting you Keith, I-I guess I should let you get back to practicing..." Keith nods while looking away nervously.

As Lance starts walking away and Keith closing the door, Lance turns around and blurts out, "C-Can I come and listen again?" Keith stops just as the door is almost fully closed. He opens it and looks at Lance with rosy cheeks. "I - Um sure? I'm normally here everyday during lunch and after school..." Lance goes completely red and nods. "C-Can I come at lunch?" Keith smiles shyly but nods. "S-Sure... I'll see you tomorrow then..." He closes the door because Lance just kinda books it out of there as fast as he can. Keith makes his way back to his spot by the window and he smiles and he starts playing once again, he looks out the window to see Lance walking towards the gates and Keith can't help but stay red and smiles fondly at the blue eyed boy. Lance stops and looks up at the music room to see Keith looking at him, Lance feels flustered and he nervously waves at him. Keith waves back and Lance turns back around makes his way off the school grounds.

Lance did indeed go at lunch, after school, and the day after that and the day after that. Keith had slowly getting used to having a presence there when he practiced because Lance came to listen to him for a month since he had first heard him play that one day in December. It's now the end of January, the two got to know each bit by bit. The other falling for each other as time goes on, both too obviously scared to tell the other.

It's now 2 months before the talent show, which is in June, and Keith forgot one component. Backup singers for the few parts of the song. "Keith, you'll be fine. I'm sure you can find some great singers." Lance reassures him and Keith takes a deep breath. Keith begins to start pacing, "That's the thing Lance, I don't know any of the people in the choir or have any friends!" Lance thinks before confessing his secret, "My friends; Hunk, Pidge and I are apart of a choir with our neighbourhood I'm sure we can help you." Lance says embarrassedly and Keith looks at him wide eyed. "You're part of a choir?" Lance nods and his cheeks go red. "Yes, have been apart of it for years." Keith smiles widely, "If it isn't too much too ask, can you ask if your choir could help me?" Keith asks and Lance smiles shyly, "Ye-Yeah I can do that." Keith gets excited, "Thank you!" Keith subconsciously does the thing he's been wanting to do for awhile now.
