The Murder That Brought Us Together// Klance Castle Au

Ch. 3

It was late into the night. Lance and Keith had their fun until they heard a yell "Lance, momma! I'm home." Lance grabbed Keith's hand and pulled him into the closet. "They can't know you are here. I'll never live it down." Lance said to Keith. "But who is it?" Keith looked confused. "It's my older sister Veronica. She keeps asking if I have a boyfriend yet and I don't want to disappoint her. I don't think you like me like that." Lance said looking down with a sad expression on his face. "Lance, it's fine I understand. My brother wants to see me happy." Keith said as he put his hand on Lance's thigh. "Lance, where are you. I know you are here. Your shoes are here and your keys. Please tell me you are clothed." Veronica yelled. "I'll be right back. Don't move." Lance said to Keith. Lance left Keith to go to his sister. "Ronnie, why are you yelling." Lance said trying to look like he just woke up. "Oh sorry for waking you." Veronica said looking sorry. "Why are you here in the first place you don't even live here- WAIT how did you get a key!!?" Lance said wanting to know how his sister got a key. "The last time I was here I might have made a copy of your key." Veronica said with a shrug like it wasn't a big deal. "Ronnie, you can't just barge in here. What happens if I had a guy over." Lance said a little mad at Veronica. "Sorry but what would you be doing. Sleeping with him." Veronica said with a smirk. "RONNIE!" Lance screamed at his sister out of embarrassment. "Lance, you texted me early freaking out because you had a date with the detective you are now shadowing. Now tell me little brother is he hot?" Veronica asked. Lance was a blushing mess. Veronica received a small "Yes" from her brother. Veronica sat down on the couch while dragging Lance with her. "So, how was your date." She was so excited to talk about his date tonight. As they were talking they didn't know Keith was listening. Keith heard Lance say he liked him too he almost died. The famous writer, Lance McClain liked Keith. After Lance and his sister were done talking Veronica took over a guest room for the night and then Lance remembered Keith was in his closest. He ran to his room to find the closet door open and the bathroom door closed. Keith couldn't wait any longer he really needed to go to the bathroom. Lance heard the toilet flush and he could finally breath. Keith walked out of Lance's bathroom and got a surprise hug from Lance. "Lance, are you okay?" Keith asked confused. "I thought you left like climbed down the fire escape." Lance's voice cracked a little, wait was he crying. "Lance, I'll never leave you. Please don't cry, Lance." Keith said as he rubbed circles on his back. Keith lifted Lance's face so he could look into his ocean blue eyes. "Lance, I care about you very much but I just met well, fully met. I have met you at a couple of book signings." Keith had a pink tint in his checks. "Thank you, keith." Lance said tiredly. Lance loved Keith so much but he didn't know if he felt the same way. "Keith, we better get you home." Lance said. "No, I'm going to stay here tonight and go to work tomorrow." Keith said as he got on the floor and laid down. "Um, what are you doing?" Lance asked. "I'm going to sleep." Keith said looking up to Lance. "No, we have extra guest rooms or you can sleep in my bed." Lance said with a blush. Keith got up and asked Lance for pyjamas before crawling into bed with him. Lance got up and searched through his drawers. He found a t-shirt and some shorts. The shorts fit Keith but the t-shirt was a bit baggy on him. Keith started to take his shirt off until Lance cleared his throat. Keith noticed he was changing in front of Lance the guy he liked. "I'm sorry I forgot you were here. I'm use to being alone." Keith apologized to Lance. "Keith, it's fine I lived with siblings and saw way worse." That made them both laugh. "I'm going into the bathroom to Chang unless you want to see me undress." Keith said with a wink. He loved to flirt and mess around with Lance now that he knew Lance liked him. "I'm just joking, Lance I'm not going to show off to you." Keith said as he started walking into the bathroom. Keith looked at himself in the mirror and looked good in Lance's clothes. The t-shirt covered up the shorts so he looked like he wasn't wearing shorts. "Lance, you better be in pyjamas." Keith yelled from the bathroom. "I'm in my pyjamas." Lance yelled back. Keith walked out of the bathroom and saw Lance waiting for him. He stood there wearing red plaid pyjama pants and a black shirt that said "My job is being lazy." "Nice shirt." Keith said smiling. "You know you look good in one of my shirts." Lance said smirking. Keith knew where he was going with this and he loved it. They got into the bed. Lance turned off the lamp and faced the opposite direction away from keith. "Good night, Lance." Keith said as he drifted off to sleep. "Good night, Keith." Lance said with a smile. He was happy that keith stayed.
