Lance looked to his hand,on it was the ring.

Keith chuckled"how long are you gonna look at it?"Lance smiled"forever."Keith rolled his eyes"it's been a week!"Lance nodded"I know."Keith sighed"you know..we haven't told anyone."they both tensed"oh.."

Keith looked at the McClain household and gulped"I can't,I'm not doing it!"Keith turned to run but Lance grabbed his shirt"don't go anywhere,Samurai."Keith sighed and stood still as Lance knocked on the door.

Lance's mom opened the door and smiled"Lance!i see your brought Keith!"Lance nodded"h-hello Mrs.McClain."Keith mumbled as she letted them in.

Two kids ran down the stairs"uncle Lance!"they yelled,Lance smiled and sat down letting them tackle hug him"hey guys,you got so big!"

Lance's mom smiled"Rosa is my name by the way."she told Keith who nodded"o-of course,Rosa."he mumbled awkwardly.

Long story short and the family had brought Veronica and Axca over and were now eating dinner with them.

Lance held Keith's hand under the table and gave him a small smile to calm him,which worked.

Lance then mouthed"we gotta do it now."Keith sighed and nodded"Mama?"Rosa looked to Lance"yes?"Keith bit his lip"me and Keith wanna say something..to everyone.."

Rosa nodded"the floor's yours."Lance gulped"me..well,me and Keith are engaged."Veronica spit out her food and Lance's dad choked on his food making Keith shrink slightly.

"Engaged!?"Veronica yelled standing up"how-when!?"Lance smiled nervously"it's a long story but about a week ago.."Lance's dad glared at Keith"you proposed to my son?"Keith nodded"...careful about what you do to him,you hear?"

Keith nodded"loud and clear sir!"Lance's dad nodded"good."Keith looked to Veronica who just smiled happily then grabbed his shirt and whispered in his ear"listen pretty boy,you saved my brother from a long road to hell.but if you break his heart,I'll send you there much quicker.i still know how to shoot a gun."

Lance yelped"Veronica don't scare him!"Keith sat back in his chair"yes ma'am!"

Lance's nephew's were drawing on the floor infront of the couch Klance was sitting on,one looked up at Lance's hand and smiled at the ring"uncle Lance,why do some people marry the same person?"Lance glanced to Keith and helped his nephew onto his knee.

"Well,you see..some people won't always love a different gender.that doesn't mean the different gender is ugly to them or they just wanna be different,they can't help what their heart feels."Lance's nephew awed"so like Nicholas and Dillan?"the other nephew who was Nicholas blushed"Arthur!!"

Keith smirked at Lance"who's Dillan?"Nicholas crossed his arms over his chest"a guy I met in school.."Arthur smirked"a guy you love~."Nicholas blushed even more"no way!he's a guy!"

Keith brought Nicholas to his side on the couch"now what's wrong with that?me and Lance are guys but we're happy and there's nothing wrong with us."Nicholas brought his knees to his chest"it's just..we're 11!i'm not supposed to feel this way about guys,only girls!"

Keith shook his head"just because your 11 doesn't change who you love,you can be 7 and like boys if that's what your heart wants!"Nicholas smiled"really!?"Keith nodded"age,skin,gender.none of that matters if you love someone."(except when there's an age gap stay safe kids)

Nicholas smiled"thank you Mr.Kogane!"Nicholas and Arthur then ran off to play"I didn't know you were good with kids!"Keith smirked looking to Lance"I always wanted to be a dad."Lance gaped"did you just.."Keith laughed as Lance playfully punched his side.
