Happy New Year! (F)

(Lance's POV)

It had been 4 months since we made it back to Earth. Everyone had gone their separate ways, but we all stayed in touch. All of us accept for Keith. Keith was always distant from the group, but after we got back to Earth, he was much worse. He rarely talk to us anymore. I had sent him an invitation to a New Years Party I was planing. I had sent one to everyone in the group and a few more people.

At the party, I saw everyone there, accept Keith. I sighed. I had hoped he would have been there. It was about 11:30 when there was a loud knock at the door. I opened it, suspecting it was the neighbors coming to complain about the noise. I opened the door and was met with a surprise.

"Keith! You made it" I said happily. Keith nodded. There was something wrong. I invited him inside and handed him a drink. We caught him up with everyone. He didn't say much. He also seemed to be going out of his way to try and get away from me. It was nearly midnight and I found him staring into space on the front porch.

"Keith, you want to come inside? It's almost midnight and it's cold out here." I tried to get him out of the cold. He leaned against the railing, not looking at me.

"I'm fine Lance. I'll just stay out here." he said. I frowned and leaned against the railing next to him.

"Fine, then I'll stay out here with you." I smiled at him. He rolled his eyes.

"I told you I'm fine Lance. Go back inside, enjoy the party." he said, looking down at his fingers, fiddling them nervously.

"Aw, c'mon Mullet. No one deserves to be alone on New Years." I said. Keith looked at me, his face painted with confusion.

"What?" I asked.

"N-Nothing. I just... I just didn't think you would want to spend the last night of this year with me." I was shocked. Keith was part of the team. He was practically family.

"Why would you think that?" I asked, moving a bit closer to him. He looked down slightly, not looking at me.

"We were never really close. You thought of me as your rival. What was I supposed to think?" As I thought about it, he was right.

"And I regret that Keith. I wanted to be closer, and that's my fault for not giving it a chance. I think of you like family Keith." Keith leaned back.

"W-What?" Keith said. I could hear the surprise in his voice.

"You're like family to me Keith." I said. I felt a pull towards him. We started getting closer to each other.

"Guys c'mon it's almost midnight. We have 1 more minute until next year!" Pidge interrupted our moment. She went back inside and I looked at Keith. His cheeks were bright red. Keith cleared his throat.

"I-I guess we should go inside." He started walking inside. I didn't have time to think before I reached out and grabbed his hand. His head whipped around and stared at his hand then at me.

"Lance?" I looked up at him.

"Keith I..."

"Lance? Is everything okay?" he asked. I didn't know why I stopped him. I looked up at him again. It was then that I realized why.

"5!" I gripped Keith's hand tighter.

"4!" I pulled him close to me, placing my hands on his hips.

"3!" Keith's eyes widened as I stared into his eyes.

"2!" I smiled at him, looking from his eyes, to his lips and back.

"1!"

"I love you Keith" I didn't waste time, kissing him immediately after I finished. Keith gasped into the kiss, his body tensing up in my hands.

After a few seconds, I felt him kiss me back. His hand reached up and he rested his palm on my cheek. I pulled away from him slightly, breaking the kiss.

"I love you Keith... so much" I whispered, loud enough that he could hear it.

"I love you too Lance. When you went out with Allura... it crushed me. I gave you the advise before the date because I wanted to see you smile. I love your smile. I love your jokes. I love you, Lanve" Keith confessed. I felt myself blush. I pulled him close and kissed him again. It was a quick kiss, but still just as passionate and love-filled as our first.

"I love you too Keith" I said happily.

"Now that you two are don't making out, can you guys come inside and party like it's the new year?" We looked over, Pidge stood in the door step, grinning at us mischievously.

"Oh shut up, Pidge!" I yelled, holding Keith in my arms possessively.

"Happy New Year Lance" Keith whispered in my ear. I looked at him.

"Happy New Year" I said.

"So are you two and item now?" Pidge asked, pointing at the two of us. I looked at Keith.

"Are we?" I asked, hoping he would say yes.

"Is that even a question? Of course!" Keith said, kissing me again. I kissed him back.

"Okay love birds. C'mon. Keep your hands to yourself for at least the first few months." Pidge laughed. Keith and I pulled away, blushing furiously. We reentered the party, happier than we had been when we left.
