The Awkwardness of Sharing a Handshake

Lance never expected to see the chimney sweep again. But now that he was staring right into the laters eyes a spark of excitement arose in him. 

"It's you!", Lance exclaimed again as he extended his hand outwards towards the chimney sweep. 

When his hand awkwardly shifted into Lance's, he started to shake them. 

"It's so good to see you! I was worried that you wouldn't be able to walk or breathe after your nasty fall! My name is Lance Mcclain, well you probably already know that, but what's your name?", Lance finally took in a breath after his paragraph of a sentence was done. 

Keith felt his arm still being rapidly shaken. But he tried his best to respond. 

"My name is Keith Kogane, um it's nice to meet you Mister Mcclain", Keith replied awkwardly. 

Lance beamed a sharp smile at him. Oh, this is way more interesting then papers!

"Do you have to go clean the chimneys right now?", Lance asked. 

Keith wanted to say yes. He truly did. But when he looked at Lance's ocean eyes it was hard to say no. 

So, with a heavy sigh, Keith responded with a simple "No".

Keith has never seen anyone of higher standing light up at the prospect of wasting their time on a chimney sweeper. 

"Thank goodness! If you said yes then I would have to go do papers", Lance huffed out with a content smile. 

Keith was then lead back down the hall, hand still cupped in Lance's. 

Allura, who was just following behind, saw them in the corner of her eyes. 

And she was very tempted to get her boss and shove him back into the study. He needed to do those papers! And it was annoying to see him wasting his time. He was a damn genius so why couldn't he just get it over with?

But when she saw that content smile on his face. One that she hasn't seen in a long while. She didn't have the heart to pull him back. 

So instead she let him go. 

Left him in the care of a chimney sweeper.
