Be My Valentines -Klance-

Part 12

Keith's POV

I look up from my knees to see what sort of expression was on Lance's face. I was expecting disgust or disapproval but instead, Lance seemed... relieved?

He sat there looking at the paper with a small smile. "Y-you don't think it's weird?" I question quietly.

Lance snaps out of his daze. "Sorry what did you say?"

"You don't think it's weird t-that I like you?" I ask again.

He gives me a funny look again but it quickly turns into a smile. "Not at all," he stands up. "Why do you think that I would think it's weird?"

I look up at the window to avoid eye contact. "I just thought that you would think it was weird that I romantically liked you, because we're friends. Or least I think we are you are sleeping over, and you did ask to be friends at school, b-but I get it if you don't want to be friends after this," I start to ramble and a few tears prick my eyes.

Threw my rambling I didn't notice how close Lance was. "A-are we friends?" I ask finally looking over at Lance who was now crouched down beside me and I jump a bit. I feel a tear fall down my face.

He smiles at me but doesn't give me a straight answer I start to internally panic thinking he and I will never be friends now because I just had to answer his question, and another tear falls.

"I-I mean it's fine if you don't want to be now knowing that I like you and everything you just have to te-" My words were cut off by Lance's lips pressed against mine. Joy and confusion overflowed my senses but I soon sank into the kiss.

Lance pulled away. He laughed at my confused face.

"W-why did you kiss me?" I managed to ask.

"I have 2 reasons," he laughed. "One you were rambling too much, and two... I really like you Keith like REALLY like you." I could feel my face turn red as he said this and sat beside me.

I laugh a bit then give him a small smile. "I really like you to Lance." his smile grew.

"Can... can I kiss you again?" he looked down at his hands nervously.

My heart and head were going 1000 miles a second but I managed a smile and a small yes. He looked over at me and lifted his hand to my cheek wiping away the remaining tears. He brought his face closer to mine and I did the same. Our lips were mere centimetres apart, one of my hands on his chest feeling his heartbeat. It was going the same pass as mine.

Our lips connect and we both sink into it a bit. It was a sweet kiss, not like the first one that seemed rushed. Lance's lips were so soft, and his hand softly caressed my cheek. I could feel the blood rushing to my face.

I slowly pulled away Lance's face was as red as I imagined mine was. I stared into Lance's eyes, there was a sparkle in them like usual.
