Necessarily Useless [Klance]

so thank you...

Lance had been acting weird for the past few days and Keith noticed. Though, that's to be expected when you thought you'd die so you tell your lion to have your friends watch a video of you stating your will and how you felt only to survive and having to deal with the consequences. Of course he'd be weird but...why is he only being weird around Keith?

"Good morning guys!" Lance chirped happily. That's one thing that's changed, Lance didn't seem that stressed out or tired anymore. He's more energetic than ever and it doesn't seem like he's faking it from the way his smile crinkles the corners of his eyes.

"Morning Lance!" Hunk happily said, giving him a bear hug.

"Mornin'. How'd you sleep?" Shiro asked, sending a gentle smile his way. Lance stretched and his back popped really loudly.

"I slept like rock! How bout you?"

"Same here." Shiro patted the boy on the back a went to talk to Allura. Keith tapped his chin and walked up to the paladin.

"Hey Lance, do wanna train with me?"

It felt like the whole room had stopped. Lance blinked a few times, looking at Keith before his head swiveled to Pidge and Hunk. They had smirks on their faces as they their eyes lit up in support. Keith noticed this and raised a brow.

"Oh, you got plans with them? It's okay, I'll ask Shi-"

"No no no, I'll train with you! I'm falling a bit behind so, uh, haha~" Lance flushed before his hand reached the back of his neck. Keith smiled, playfully shoving his shoulder as he scoffed.

"Alright then, meet at the training room after lunch." His heart hammered against his chest as Lance nodded enthusiastically. 'He's so frickin cute holy quiznack!'

Keith managed to retain self control as he walked out of the room before he clenched his fist for victory.

He doesn't know why he's taken a liking to Lance. He tolerated him, saw him as a good person and friend and so forth. But this is the first time he actually decided to get close to someone. Shiro broke his walls down and wormed his way into his heart. But Lance, Lance just knocked politely and asked to be let in. The same thing he did when they first found the blue lion. And like the blue lion did, Lance was let in.

That boy was incredible in his own way and if Keith was being honest, he was jealous. Jealous of how he could be so kind and brave without any regard for his own life. But he was also scared of that, he didn't want to let Lance go.

"Why the hell am I so queasy again?" Keith grumbled. He didn't like the feeling in his stomach.

Lunch past and the two boys walked into the training room together.

"Okay so, are we gonna team up or something?" Lance asked, raising a brow when his mullet haired friend shook his head.

"I want you to shoot at me," he said, activating his bayard as it turning into a sword. Lance's mouth dropped to the floor in disbelief.

"What?! Why?! Are you crazy?! I can't do that!"

"Of course you can," he said shrugging his shoulders. "I want to learn how to deflect lasers. The robots can only go so far with weapons." Keith took off his jacket and laid it in the corner of the room. Lance flushed a red before he shook his head.

"You're crazy." Despite that statement, Lance activated his own bayard and started shooting immediately.

Keith grunting in surprise before he started dodging and deflecting the billets with his blade.

Lance's weapon suddenly turned into multiple cannons, almost like Hunks, except sharper and more precise.

"Woah!" Keith did a back handspring landing in a squatting position. Lance stopped shooting and stood up.

"Crap did I hit you? Are you okay?" he asked a little panicked. The black haired boy only chuckled as his bayard disappeared.

"No no no, I'm okay. But geez!" Keith pumped both of his fist in excitement. "How'd you do that?! I thought you could only manage a sniper or rifle!" Keith prance up to him and tilted his weapon to examine it. It feels like Lance always has to process what he says before he says anything anymore.

Lance grinned cockily, his pearly white teeth showing off as he placed a hand on his hip.

"I dunno but that must mean I'm amazing~" He ran a hand through his hair flirtatiously and Keith, very confusedly, blushed.

"I-I guess..." Keith gulped before jogging over grabbing his jacket and putting it on. Lance's bayard disappeared and he snickered, squinting at the boy who tensed under his gaze. "What?"

"You're face is red~ You're blushing!"

"No-No I'm not! It's just hot in here!" Keith defended. Why was he defensive all of a sudden? Was he embarrassed?

"Is it because I'm in here?" Lance blinked for a moment before he flat out laughed. "Oh my god you-haha~"

"Cu-Cut it out! It's not that funny!" Keith pouted before he embarrassingly tripped to the door, making the brunette wheeze. Keith felt so embarrassed and ashamed he was almost on the brink of tears. "Screw you Lance!" His voice cracked before he stomped into and down the hallway.

"Oh Hey Keith-" Hunk started, poking his head out from the kitchen.

"Hey Hunk."

"What happened?! You're so flustered-"

"Shut up. I don't wanna talk about it," he snapped before he froze, realizing what he just said.

"Oh-Okay..."

"Sorry. I have too much in my mind right now. Lance is a jerk," Keith said quietly before he briskly walked to his room.

He took a relaxing shower before getting ready for bed. He tied his hair up in a ponytail and fell face flat on his pillow.

Lance...that's all that was on his mind. The way his smug smirk sent a wave of queasiness through him. How he'd run his fingers through his hair every time he sighed. His crystal like eyes. Keith never knew they were blue until a couple of days ago. And they we're beautiful....

He groaned out of frustration. He hated not knowing what the heck was going on with him. He knows he has trust issues. He knows he's a hotheaded person. He knows he's naturally talented in several areas. He knows how troublesome he can be. But this was the only thing he couldn't wrap his head around.

"Stupid Lance and his dumb face. I wanna slap it...and caress it...and hug him..............................

QUIZNACK!!"
