Lances POV

I pull Keith over to the first game, it was a ring toss. We both got 3 rings to through, we take our spots in front of the polls that we had to get the rings on. Keith and I both get our first ones on, Keith getting 50 points and I got 30. I miss the next one and Keith gets his on the same post. I get another 20 points on the next toss and Keith gets another 50.

"How are you so good at this?" I ask Keith

He blushes a bit "I-I'm not that good."

"Are you serious? You got the highest points you could!"

"Here's your prize," the person running the game said, handing Keith a big red lion.

"Oh uh thank you," he says shyly. We walk away from the game and head towards another one. Keith was staring at the lion as if he was contemplating something. "Here," he said, holding out the lion

"But you won it," I said, a bit confused

"J-just take it, and you can give me one of the prizes you win."

I smiled down at the lion then at Keith. "Ok, I'll name it... Red," I said holding it out in front of us.

"Wow, very creative," Keith chuckled, looking up at me with a smile.

"Ok well let's go play another game so I can win you a stuffy that you can name." I smile at Keith again and take his hand and head over to another game.

This one was a target practice type thing, you got a water gun and had to hit the bullseye. We had a minute to hit it as many times as possible. I hit it about 40 times by the end of the round but Keith only hit it about 20 times. The lady running to stand handed me a stuffy that looked exactly like the one Keith won but this time it was blue.

"I don't think the manufacturers know what colour lions are," I joke handing Keith the lion. "Now we're even. What are you going to name it," I ask as we walk away.

"Blue."

"And you say I'm bad at naming things," I say smiling.

"I'm naming it Blue because you named yours Red. Or do you think I should name it Yorak?" He asked with a playful smile.

"Nope, you are not naming my gift Yorak that's a terrible name."

"Hey, my parents were going to name me Yorak," Keith said, I couldn't tell if he was joking or not.

"Well I think Keith fits you better," I said leaning over to Keith and pecking his cheek. A blush forms on his face and he tries to hide it.

"Get I room!!" I hear Pidge yell a few meters away. I couple of heads turn and Keith's face gets redder. I stick my tongue out at her and drag Keith over to another game. This one was a ball toss and you had to knock over as many cans as possible.

We continue playing games winning prizes one was a cow and we named it kaltenecker. "Hey, let's get some Cotton candy!" Keith says, excitedly pulling me over to the stand.

"Sure," I follow after him not, letting go of his hand so that I didn't lose him in the crowd. When we got to the stand, the man serving the fluffy goodness stared at our hands with a hint of disgust on his face, Keith didn't notice and I didn't mention it. "Can we get two cotton candies, please?" I ask ignoring the look on the man's face.

The man gives a small nod and starts making the candy floss. I look over to Keith and he has a big smile on his face. The man turns back to us and hands us the pink floss. "That will be $4" I pull out the money and hand it to the man saying thanks and walking away pulling Keith with me.

We continue walking around the fair playing games. It was starting to get dark out and the lights were coming on. "Do you want to go on the ferris wheel?" I ask pointing up to the lit-up wheel.

"Ya sure." We make our way to the lineup that luckily wasn't that long.

The couple that was behind us started whispering stuff I only caught a few words of their conversation but I had heard enough to know they were talking about Keith and me. "I'm sorry do you have a problem?" I ask them fed up with their gossip.

The woman gave me a disgusted look. They said nothing and Keith gave me a concerned look. "I can't believe their parents let them date another guy," the man whispered to his partner. Keith clued into the conversation and had a small frown on his face. "You're both going to hell."

"If anyone's going to hell it's you two," I say turning back around bringing Keith forward with the line.

"Says the one disobeying god," the girl scoffs.

"He also says love your neighbour as yourself, so why don't you two try that for a change," I say getting closer to the front of the line. Keith starts to pull his hand away from mine probably starting to feel self-conscious of what the couple was saying.

They look at me with a shocked face. "You should learn to respect your elders," the man says.

"Ya well you should respect the young they are the ones who will be taking care of you in a few years," the person behind the couple said. The two storm away and I give the man a kind smile in thanks. The man smiled back and gave us a pat on the back. "Don't worry about them," he said. "Now go have some fun." He turns us around to the front of the line and it was our turn to go on.

"Thank you," Keith and I said as we stepped onto the ride.

We sat down beside each other and looked out the window at all the lights. Keith's smile was coming back and it made me smile. "It's really beautiful," Keith said quietly.

"It really is."

"Lance?" Keith asked looking over at me.

"Ya?"

"Umm would you maybe like to umm go see a movie with me tomorrow?" Keith looked a bit nervous asking this.

"Sure what movie?" I asked.

"Well Endgame just came out, and that would be a fun movie, do you even like Marvel movies?" Keith rambled, I just stared and smiled.

"I'd love to," I said when he finished, his smile grue and so did mine. We stared at each other for a bit, I started to lean in and so did Keith. Our lips connected, it was a sweet kiss but meant so much.
