I Love You Keith

That night

Keith POV 

For the next few hours, we all talked and joked around. Pidge wanted to play Truth or Dare again, but we shut that down. At around 10-10:30 people started to leave, and by a they were all gone. I stood from my spot on the couch next to James and stretched. "Well, I'm gonna go to bed." I started towards the bathroom, but James stopped me. He smiled "Not yet. I still have one more thing for you." I raised an eyebrow and he rolled his eyes. "Come on, I'll show you." He led me out of the room and towards the room with the ladder. We went up, and I was shocked by what I saw. There was a few fairy light around the edge of a blanket that had sodas and candy on it. "Whoa." James smiled at me "You said that you wanted to go on a date, so I made one. Do you like it?" I nodded "Fuck yes. God I have the best boyfriend ever." "Come on." He held his hand our to me, and I took it. We sat and started feasting on the sugary food and drinks. "I can't believe it. You guys really went all out." James shrugged "We really care about you Keith. You're like family to them and we love you." I felt my face heat up, and I knew that I was blushing. I smirked "Oh, so you love me?" He blushed a bit and smiled softly "Maybe." My mouth shut and I stared at my soda. He laughed and I glanced up at him "What?" He shook his head "Nothing. You're cute when you blush." I felt face heat up even more "Shut up." He just smiled "Nope. If I think something about you is cute, I'm going to tell you." I glared at him, face hot. He stood and held his hand out"Come on." I glanced at him questioningl,, but took his hand nonetheless. He brought me to the edge of the roof, away from the lights. "I still can't believe how clear the sky is here. Everywhere else theres cloud and smoke. But here, there's nothing." I said,  and James smiled  "Perks of being in the desert. Not enough water for clouds, and not a factory for miles." Its beautiful." I whispered. "Yeah, but not as beautiful as you." "James!" He chuckled "What? I'm telling the truth. You're beautiful Keith. And smart, and nice, and caring, and talented. You're amazing, and perfect in every way." I knew I was blushing profoundly and I buried my face in his shoulder "James!" "What?" He turned towards me "Keith, I'm telling you what I think of you. You're amazing, and probably the best thing that's ever happened to me." I stared at the ground. He tilted my head upwards, and used his fingertips to brush some of my hair out of my face. We stared into each other's eyes for a moment before James said 

"I love you Keith."

 His eyes flickered towards my lips, and we slowly leaned in.  He kissed me, and it was amazing. His soft, slightly chapped lips on mine, pushing softly. My hand found their way to his chest, and his to my hair and waist. We pulled away, gasping for breath. We made eye contact, and he smiled at me softly. I smile back"So you do love me?" He chuckled "Yeah. I do. A lot." I smiled "Great. I love you too." He smiled, and pulled me into another kiss.
