Be My Valentines -Klance-

Part 10

My face started to turn red like a tomato "I-wh- umm I-" I stammered not knowing how to respond to the question. Lance's face was so close to mine and I didn't know how to process what he was asking.

"Boys supper's ready" mom calls from the kitchen and I silently thank her.

I quickly duck under Lance's arm "w-we s-should umm g-go downstairs" I say looking down at my feet still blushing like crazy.

"Ok but when we're done eating I'm expecting to hear an answer," he says jokingly. he slowly opens the door and I leave as soon as it is open.

"Hey, Keith can I talk to you for a second" Shiro askes with a smirk almost as soon as he sees my flushed face.

"S-sure" I walk over to the living room with Shiro.

"Why are you blushing so hard," he asks as soon as we get out of earshot.

"Ugh Shiro I don't know what to do" I rest my face in my hands "we were playing a question game a-and he asked me 'what would you say if I asked you out on a date' and his hand was holding the door shut and his face was so close to mine and I didn't know what to do and UGH Shiro what do I do" I was talking so fast I was surprised Shiro understood any of what I was saying.

"Well, you like him right?" I nod "and you do want to go out with him right?" I nod again. "If I were in your situation I would tell him the truth, he's asking you for a reason. I think that he wouldn't ask you if he didn't like you."

I slowly nod "but how? He was so calm when he asked me, I'm just going to be a stuttering mess."

"Just be yourself and tell him when you get back to your room later."

"Ok," I said slowly thinking it over.

we headed back to the kitchen for food. When we got back Lance was helping mom serve out the chilli she had made. By that point, my face had cooled off a bit, and my mom didn't notice the small bush that was still there.

We sat down to eat. My mom asked Lance a few questions to get to know him and the rest of the conversation was slow. I wasn't really listening because I was trying to figure out what was supposed to say and do later.

Partway through dinner, I caught Lance staring at me. He looked away pretty fast but I still saw, Lance was blushing, and he had a small nervous expression on his face.

'Is he just as nervous as I am?' I thought it myself.
