Necessarily Useless [Klance]

love my self.

Keith had just gotten out of his shower and put on some pants when his door burst open.

"Keith I-" Lance stopped mid sentence to look the guy up and down. The raven haired boy raised a brow, concerned.

"Hey Lance what's up? Is there something wrong?" Keith asked, snapping Lance out of his stupor who turned away immediately embarrassed.

"Oh uh haha, sorry! Should've knocked first!" Keith laughed as he pulled the shirt over his head and hung a towel from his neck.

"This isn't the first time you seen me shirtless. Is everything okay? You're acting weird," Keith asked, placing a hand on the brunettes shoulder.

Lance stayed quiet as he turned around and stared at him. Keith could see the hurt and guilt in his eyes. But he could also see the realization and the confusion and the relief. He could see so many emotions in that simple stare he knew Lance was overwhelmed.

So he gently wrapped wrapped his arms around him. He guided the brunettes head to rest on his shoulder and Lance clutched the towel that was around his neck.

"What happened?" he softly cooed, tracing circles on Lance's back.

"Allura broke up with me because she found out someone else loved me more than she did..." he murmured. Keith froze for a second, a frown painting his features.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean for that to happen. If only I kept my damn mouth shut this-"

"No. I'm glad this happened." Lance pulled back to meet Keith's gaze. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Keith looked down, taking a breath before he scoffed. "I didn't know if you liked boys...and we had to focus on the missions at hand, and when I did find out you and the princess were already together so I just...tried not think about it." Keith smiled softly, raising his head.

"Keith I..." Lance looked just as heart broken as Keith felt and he understood why.

"Lance it's okay. I'm okay." Keith tucked a loose hair behind his ear clearing his throat. He felt like a kid that had just got caught sticking her hand in a cookie jar. "I'm fine with just being your best friend if that's what you want. It's no biggie."

"But-But this is your feelings we're talking about I-"

"It's not the first time I've been heartbroken Lance. I know how to deal with it." Keith said sadly though he tried not to.

"That just makes it worse!" Lance grabbed both of his hands into his and made the shorter boy look at him. "Keith, I'm so so sorry. I should've known! You've had my back all this time and I took it for granted. Quiznack, you flirted with me and I took it as payback for the teasing!"

Lance slid his hands up to his triceps and Keith shivered at the touch. "Keith, I...I don't know how to repay you man!"

"You already did idiot," Keith scoffed. "You saved my life countless times. That's enough."

"But-"

"Lance. Shut up. You're getting on my nerves. I know you mean well but you're getting to worked up over this!"

"Well maybe it's because I love you too!" Lance said, shaking the shorter boy by his shoulders. The two stared at each other, breathing heavily.

"Wha....?" Keith looked at him baffled before shaking his head. "You-You're just saying things because you feel guilty."

"I'm not! I-I didn't realize it until an hour ago. I've liked you ever since the Garrison training school. But when I got to become your friend and got to know you I...I was in denial because of Allura. I was so focused on her and saving the universe it clouded over my judgment and made me take you for granted and I'm sorry." Lance buried his face in Keith's shoulder. "I'm so sorry Keith."

"Lance..." Keith scoffed, a smile gracing his face. "You're such a dork."

"And you're pretty."

"Thanks." Keith pushed him back and wiped his tear. They stared at each other for a long minute before Keith grabbed the front of his jacket and kissed him.

Lance instantly melted with him, cupping his face as Keith rested his palms on his chest. It felt so natural yet so new at the same time. It was obvious that Keith had never kissed anyone but it was still thrilling to have Lance as his first.

The parted for a moment before Lance kissed him again, harder. Keith chuckled, breaking the kiss to breath.

"Woah, calm down there buddy," he teased. Lance flushed a red and jumped back, spewing out every excuse in the book before Keith ruffled his hair.

"Does this mean we're dating now?" Keith asked, not knowing since he's never dated before. Lance lit up like a lamp and jumped on him like a little kid would.

"Thank you Keith."

"For what?"

"Being here and...and loving me when I couldn't love myself. Thank you." Keith blinked for a moment before he kissed his ear.

"You're welcome."

"And don't ever cut off you mullet okay? I'll kill you if you do."

"I guess that means you like it huh?" Keith teased, earning a scoff from Lance.

"Far from it."

"Yeah right. Pshh."

"Can I spend the night?"

"It not the first time so why not." Keith shrugged as he shoved Lance on the bed. As soon as he saw Lance's smirked he glared. "Shut up or else I'm throwing you outside."

"Okay okay~"
