Be My Valentines -Klance-

Part 9

"So Lance is sleeping over?" Shiro says a bit too happy.

"Yep," Lance says happily.

"Why don't you boys go upstairs and wait for dinner." We both nod and head upstairs.

"What do we do while we wait for dinner?" Lance asks as we enter my room.

"I-I don't know Ummm Hunk and I usually play video games and talk and... not much else." I had never actually had a sleepover with anyone but Hunk so I didn't really know what to do.

"How about we just talk a bit." He looks over at me. "Since we don't know each other very well, how about we take turns asking each other questions, but you have to promise to tell the truth." Lance had a devilish smirk on his face that I both loved and hated

"Umm o-ok." I could tell this could go wrong in many ways. "Who goes first?"

"I can let's start easy, what's your favourite colour?"

"Dark blue," I answer without thinking

Lance smirks a bit, "why?"

"I-it's my turn," I stop to think. "W-what is your... favourite food?"

He thinks a bit before answering. "Ummm probably anything my mom cooks."

"That's vague."

"Why is dark blue your favourite colour?"

"I-I just find it calming." It wasn't a complete lie but it also wasn't the full truth, his eyes are dark blue but they do calm me. "Do you sometimes find it too crazy at your house?"

"Definitely." He thinks of his question for a second. "What is your favourite part of school?"

"Umm probably science or lunch," I say. I was feeling more confident around Lance and I could talk without stumbling. "Have you ever gone anywhere exodic and if so where?"

"I have been to Florida and Mexico and Cuba. what's your favourite movie and why?"

"Umm, I don't know." I think a bit longer. "Probably most fairy tales because of how they are shown and the animation." I stop to think of a question. I see Lance looking around my room his eyes settling on one of my walls, it had many of my drawings and doodles taped to it.

"Are you artistic in any way?" I ask finally thinking of a question.

"I love to sing and play guitar."

"Are you any good?" I ask with a small smile.

"Hey hey hey it's my turn, did you draw those?" he points over to the wall with the drawings.

"Oh umm ya, I did." Lance's eyes widen.

"Wow, they're amazing." I feel my face heat up and I smile a bit. "I saw some of your drawings before but these look awesome!"

This continues for at least five minutes until...

"My question," his smirk grows a bit bigger but there was a hint of worry behind it. "Do you like boys?"

I internally start to freak out. "Oh Ummm I umm yes," I say the last part shyly looking down at my hands.

I could feel his smirk grow, what was he planning, is he going to make fun of me, is he never going to talk to me again, but then why was he smirking?

We sat in silence for what felt like ages.

"You know it's your turn to ask a question unless your passing"

"I-I think I'm done with this game," I say getting up and walking to the door. "Dinner will be ready soon we should head down." My voice was quiet but he could still hear.

I had only opened the door a crack before Lance's hand closed it. I spin around and see Lance leaning over me a bit, his hand still on the door probably to stop me from running.

"Since you're not going to use your final question I'll take it." Our eyes lock I had no idea what to do so I just stood there frozen like a block of ice ."If I were to ask you out on a date what would you say?"
