Something Sensational (Klance Voltron Fanfic) (Keith x Lance)

Chapter 8

It was early evening when Keith and Lance pulled up in front of Pidge and Hunk's apartment for game night. As soon as Keith stopped his bike, Lance wasted no time jumping off. Keith however, stayed right where he was. He noticed that Shiro's car was parked a few spaces away, indicating that he had already arrived. If Keith was being completely honest he had no desire to go upstairs. Keith had known Pidge, Hunk and Shiro almost his entire life and even though the four of them were close, he knew without a doubt that if he brought Lance upstairs the other three were going to spend the entire night tormenting them. Just thinking about it had Keith pinching the bridge of his nose and sighing in frustration. He then looked up at Lance who was standing on the sidewalk with his hands in the pockets of his jacket, waiting for him so they could go into the building together.

"You coming?" Lance asked as he tilted his head to the side. The action always made Lance look so innocent and Keith would be lying through his teeth if he were to say it wasn't completely adorable. Lance had no idea what would be in store for them if and when they finally made there way upstairs for game night.

"Do we have too...?" Keith sighed.

"Keith you invited me." Lance chuckled.

"I know." Keith said. "But seriously. It's not too late to turn around and go back to my place."

"Keith..."

"Or we could go for a drive, get you more comfortable with the bike." Keith suggested.

"Keith, I refuse to be on that death trap any longer than I have to. The ride here and back to your place after will be more than enough for one day."

"Death trap, really? You are such a drama queen. Not the point though. Anyway we could literally do anything else. Anything you want. Just don't make me go up there." Keith knew realistically that he was being ridiculous. It was just game night, how bad could it really be? Keith watched Lance's amused facial expression start to shift into that unsure look Lance got when he seemed to be uncomfortable or nervous.

"Keith...do you...is this because you don't want me to meet your friends?" Lance said avoiding eye contact. That had to be the reason right? Why else would Keith be this against going to see people he was close with?

"What?" Keith said. He was genuinely shocked.

"I mean I totally understand if you don't. We don't know each other that well or...at all really. So it makes sense that it would be weird for someone who is basically a stranger to join in on something that you and your friends have been doing for a long time." Lance said realizing he was rapidly reaching rambling territory. "It's cool if you don't want me to go with you. I can just walk back to your place or find something to do until your done. I don't want things to be uncomfortable for you or your frien-"

"Lance, what are you talking about?" Keith said interrupting the blue eyed boy.

"I just don't want you to feel like you have to include me just because you're letting me stay at your place for now." Lance said. He now felt sure enough of himself to make eye contact with Keith again. The last thing Lance ever wanted to become was a burden to someone else.

After their almost kiss, Lance had spent all of last night and this morning thinking about what was going on between him and Keith. He was surprised with himself that he had so easily decided that he didn't want to fight his feelings for Keith anymore. It had been years since Lance had wanted somebody so badly, not just in the sexual sense but also in every other sense of the meaning. It had terrified Lance that he was so willing to open up to another person after years of locking himself away. The idea of trusting Keith scared Lance more than anything else in the world. A big part of Lance was thankful that the phone rang when it did because in those few brief moments before the call, Lance realized he didn't want Keith just for a moment, a night, a few more days.
