Wait While I Propose

It was the day after the wedding. The day after the boys life's changed so quickly yet so gently. The night seemed almost like a blur, mostly because they both got a little tipsy.

It wasn't their fault the sun shone through the window that Keith was told to shut although he didn't. It was more or less the suns fault for trying to wake them up. Even Lance couldn't contain a soft groan that escaped his lips. The smaller companion he had, snuggled up closer to his side by the noise.

That companion was Keith.

Lance would slowly rub his eyes and blink a couple of times before finally settling on the object that snored lightly next to him. A chuckle escaped him, a breeze of warm air hitting the other boys hair, making the little baby hairs swish in the 'wind'.

"You know I love you right?" Lances tone was sweet, the smile Keith had was adorable. "Awh~ shut up!" Keith whined simply. It was in October, trees dying quietly and the bristle of the leaves falling down gave off a nice effect. Lance brought Keith out on a date, a date that neither of them realised was going to form a new relationship.

"What are you doing?" The taller boy simply hummed, watching as Keith happily jumped around in leaves. "Having fun! You should try it!" Keith laughed with his voice being extremely happy. If Keith wasn't being so damn cute this wouldn't of been so damn hard.

"Hey Uhm... Keith?" Lance slowly walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. His face was serious, which scared Keith the most. "Wh-" Keith didn't even finish his sentence before Lance started. "I don't want to be your boyfriend anymore. Know I really love you, so so much. I want you for the rest of my life but I can't be your boyfriend" he whispered to Keith.

Keith visibly teared up, looking away and turning his back to him. "Thanks a lot.. wow.." Keith rubbed the teared up eyes he had now gained and crossed his arms. "The problem is Keith," Lance got down on one knee and started laughing. Keith would slowly turn around at that, eyes wide and body stuck. No. Way.

"Will you be my husband instead?"

All of that led them here, cuddling in the bright morning rays in the delicate bed made with feathers. Lances chest heaving up and down at each breath he took. Even Keith was sleeping deeply, which was hard due to his nightmares.

"PAPA! DADA!" Leo and Laith. The best things that could of happened to them. Two little children - twins - running around the house and dancing with their little toys. Laith, younger by two minutes, had a little hippo that used to be Keith's. Even Leo had a toy, holding his small shark Lance had bought for him when they just adopted the two.

"Papa wake up! Leo and I made pancakes!" Laith jumped into the bed, having Leo follow her but standing at the side with a plate of leaves. "It's a salad Laith" Leo definitely tried to sound mature. Two seven year olds trying to be the best maid/butler's in the world, it was adorable.

In the back of Lances throat was a chuckle, one that made Laith gasp for him being awake. "Listen here you butts," Lance pulled Laith into his arms and started tickling her. Leo gasped and put the 'salad' down on the nightstand and jumped up onto the bed. Laith was giggling like crazy, trying to escape as Leo helped her.

"Morning" was a slur that caught all of their attention(s). "Babe?" Lance seemed to take noice it was Keith's voice that had spoke. The small mullet haired boy chuckled, looking up at all of them. "Morning Leo, morning Laith." He sat up slightly to kiss their heads.

About ten (10) minutes later and breakfast was being served, pancakes for the twins, bacon and eggs for Lance and Keith. The light in the kitchen wasn't as bright as the one in the bedroom but it sure made the boys rings reflect into gold shadows cast upon the roof. "Papa! Are you taking us to school? I want to talk about my dads getting married!" Laith whined and Leo nodded along with her. The boys finished their food and seemed to be talking seriously... or more for what's a lunch meal. Keith gazed at Laith and Leo and nodded "but we have to take dadas car alright? You aren't old enough for the motorbike" he chuckled and got up.
