keith knew from the moment his eyes gazed at the other boy, he loved him. the feeling wasn't something big like fireworks going off in his chest or a wave of butterflies overtaking his entire body. it felt as if you were trying to remember something and couldn't quite recall what it was, but as soon as you remembered you felt at peace. the first think keith thought when he felt this was,
'i want to be with him for the rest of my life.'
the thought came quickly and he hadn't even truly understood what he had said but he knew it was right.

the first time lance looked at keith, something caught his eye. it wasn't necessarily good, he felt annoyed by him some how. so when keith would always give him a warm smile that made his insides flutter, he started to second guess himself. the feeling of annoyance slowly turned into wanting to please him, he wanted to make him smile no matter what. then it hit him one day when he was getting ready to go to bed, he loved him. from then on, lance would stare at keith, his eyes crinkling up when he smiled, his hair getting in his face when the wind would blow strongly. lance knew this was the man he wanted to make happy for the rest of his life.

it was a normal day and lance and keith were hanging out. keith couldn't quite figure out why there was a weird tension in the room and whenever he would look lances way, the boy would flush and turn his head avoiding eye contact.
"what's wrong with you?"
lance gulped. he looked at keith who's brows were together, worried. suddenly, lance gets up grabbing a pen and a paper from the table and scribbling down letters.
"me. you. hang man. right now. whoever loses the other one gets to pick their punishment."
keith stares at lance taken back a little due to his sudden energy. keith smirks.
"you're on."
lances cocky grin is plastered on his face as he begins to scribble more things down on the piece of paper.
"just so you know, you're gonna lose. i'm the king at hang man."
"stop talking and start the game already." keith says rolling his eyes with a tiny smile.

"you can't fucking do that! that's cheating!" keith says staring at lance who's adding more than one body part on the stick figure even though he got one letter wrong.
"listen, i'm just tryna make the game go by fast. you take forever!"
"let me just see the rest of the letters left."
lance flushes and tries to hide it but keith grabs it out of his hands.

i _ l o v _ _ y o _

keith stares at the remaining letters, then looks at lance who is currently facing away.
"e."
"what?"
"that's the messing letter isn't it?"
"yeah, b-but your missing one more."
"oh, and what is that one?" keith says with the tiniest smirk that lance has to blink to make sure it's not there.
"yeah."
"well, then looks like i lose. i cant seem to figure out what the last one is."
lance glares at keith knowing he's only messing with him.
"fine then i'll do it. it's you, as in your a dumbass keith." lance says writing it down with a frustrated look.
"i think you mean you, as in i love you keith."
lance stares at keith but can't say anything because keith is putting their lips together causing lance to gasp.
"you know, your an idiot for making us play this game. you could have just told me."
"hey! my idea was creative!"
"whatever you say-"
lance grabs keith's face and kisses him hard before he can say anything else.
"i love you keith."
"i love you lance."



a few years later



"remember when i confessed my love to you by playing hang man."
"yeah, good times."
"well, i was thinking. since i won i never gave you a punishment."
keiths eyes go big and quickly looks at lance when he sees the boy going on one knee.
"what do you say, being stuck with my stupid ass is kind of a punishment."
keith launches towards lance and gives him the biggest hug.
"your ass is stupid if you think that's a punishment"
"is that a yes?"





"yes."
