Lance's POV

I feel the mysterious person's gorgeous violet grey eyes roam all over me. However I can't see any of them apart from their eyes as they chose to stand in the shadows. Their eyes pull me in reminding me of the galaxies I would look at in the sky with my friends. The normal white of the eye is a soft yellow making his eyes pop more. Although they are beautiful I see a great emotion in them, sadness. It pains me for an unknown reason to see this so what do I do to lighten the mood? Well ladies and gentlemen I say the cheesiest line known to man. "See something you like hot stuff?" And to put the cherry one the cake I give them a smirk.
'Damn it Lance is that really the best you came up with? Hot stuff ?'
This causes them to let out a small yip  as they were  brought out of the trance my handsome, good looking body casts on people. Me? Modest? Huh How could you tell? Anyway those gorgeous galaxies I was talking about look at me straight in the eyes and yeesh if looks could kill I would be six feet under.
"No, not really!" They snap back snarking as they walk into the light. I stand there frozen at the man in front of me. Hot stuff? More like god! (An~.....*sad, cringey sigh* Why?) His eyes are framed with dark, long lashes and above them are strong black eyebrows. Under his right eye (my left) is a scar starting at his strong jaw and ending an inch under the middle of his eye and it is a couple shades darker than his skin. His pale lilac complexion is a big contrast to  the ruby red dress he is wearing. His long raven hair pools at his feet and his bangs have fallen over his left eye. He brushes it back with his nimble fingers. He is tiny and so cute! Well compared to my 6'1 frame he is tiny. He has a strong build unlike me, who is lanky this guy packs some muscle. And his lips? They look pouty, so soft and small. So damn kissable... 'Wait what the hell am I saying, it must be the cold affecting me. Yeah no denial here just the cold messing with my mind' (An~🤦‍♀️) 
Anyway what really distracted me was his ears, I can only describe them like cat ears on the side of his head but bigger. They look so fluffy it took everything in me no to pet them. They are a dark purple colour matching with his lilac skin. Why does he have those?
I didn't realise I was staring at his ears until the owner of them flattened them against his head, looking away embarrassed and disgusted.
"I know they are ugly but you don't have to stare at them." He snaps.
"S-sorry I d-didn't mean to stare and besides I think they look adorable!" I stutter out in a rush while I feel heat rise to my face. 'Adorable? I called his ears adorable? God this cold was messing with my head.'
I am pulled from my thoughts as I catch a blush as red as his ruby dress spread across his face. 'He blushes easily' I take a note of this for the future.
"Anyway..." I cough awkwardly to ease the tension, " so what is your name, Kitten?" I can't help myself from adding on the pet name at the end. What can I say it's in my nature!
"Keith, Keith Kogane. Not kitten" he replies defensively (An~ koGAYne. Sorry not sorry!)  Kogane? I swear I have heard that name before... wait...no I have nothing.
(An~ Can't reveal the plot too soon, sorry)
"Ok ok, so Keith where am I sleeping?" I ask with my hands up in surrender while eyeing the single bed pushed up against the wall. ' I wonder if he'll let me sleep in it. Or maybe we cold share even if it is tiny we can spoon -I would be big spoon of course- and cuddle. I could wrap my arms around his small waist and nuzzle his beautiful hair. And... Woah woah woah what am I thinking, piss off gay thoughts!' (An~ He is Bi but you know what I mean)
"You can have the floor." Keith says snapping me out of my wondering mind. I eye with floor with a look of disgust. Really? This is what my life has come to, sleeping on a freezing floor in a hidden tower when the most beautiful man I have ever seen is in a bed just a couple feet away. God shit really has hit the fan for me.
"Look ummm the floor isn't going to work for me as I have ummm Floordiscoglia (An~ I really have no idea where this came from but oh well! Floor-dis-cog-lia) meaning I can't sleep down on the floor. It's a shame really just looking at such comfortable looking wood knowing I can't sleep on it. Looks like I am going to have to sleep somewhere else. Shame really!" I saying making up some bull excuse.
"What do you propose then, Lance?" He challenges raising a perfectly crafted brow.
I blush hearing him say my name for the first time.
Damn this cold. But I sense the challenge in his voice so of course I flick on the charm to get my way.
"Well beautiful I propose that we share that bed over there as I know I am not sleeping on the freezing floor. And I don't think you want to either. So whatdoyathink of my proposal Keith?" I put the same emphasis on his name like he did to mine and even though he tried to hide it I saw his ruby blush cover his face. Charm successful!
"Fine we can share but any funny business and you won't need to be worried about sleeping as you'll be dead!" He warns me in a deadly tone.
"No funny business got it, good thing I am not a clown!" I joke nervously trying to lighten the mood. His blank stone face made me get the message loud and clear, Keith doesn't like jokes.
"Quiznack I already regret this come on before I change my mind!"
Keith walks over to his 'wardrobe' and chucks me some sweatpants and a shirt. I thank him and get a mumbled "whatever." in return. As I change I realise the sweats end half way down my shins but the top surprisingly fits. I sneak a look at Keith, I mean this is me we are talking about, and catch a glimpse at his toned stomach before it is covered with his T-shirt. I feel myself go red and turn around as he puts his sweats on. Now both fully dressed we stare at the bed side by side.
"How we gonna do this?" I ask
"You get in first next to the wall then I'll get in so I can let my hair dangle off the side of the bed." He replied
After we settle in, I turn to face the wall and try to fall asleep. Hours later as darkness has nearly taken over my last thought on my mind was, 'What the hell have I gotten myself into?'
