Kinkade POV
It was so weird that James and Keith hadn't told each other that they liked one another yet. The suspense was killing me. I knew that once they told each other,they'd probably be all cute and coupley all the time, but it would be worth it. I mean, he had given Keith a fucking ring, and then Keith had kissed him on the cheek. Why wouldn't he ask him out already. I noticed that James was being unusually quiet, so I walked up next to him. "Hey James, you good?" He jumped a bit "Dammit Kinkade. But yeah, I'm good." Noticing that Keith was walking in front of him, I smirked "You're staring at his ass." "I'm starring at his ass." I laughed "Dude, why don't you tell him already? He fucking kissed you. He obviously likes you." James sighed "I know. I also kissed him, but if we told you guys you'd never shut up about it." I stopped and felt my eyes go wide "You what? You kissed him! Really?" His eyes went wide "Shit shit shit. I wasn't supposed to tell you that." "But really though?" He started blushing, and nodded "Yeah. We're kinda sorta dating. We have been since Cornyval. We just didn't want to tell you guys because you'd make a big deal about it. PLEASE don't tell the others." I nodded "Of course not. Does Shiro know?" He nodded "Yeah." I smiled "Then I'm going to tease you relentlessly about it during our workout." He groaned "Kinkade! Please no." Keith walked up to us "Whats going on? You seem flustered and you look excited." I smiled "James told me." His eyes went wide and he punched James's arm. "Ow! It was an accident. I didn't mean to." "Oh. Then sorry. But you're not gonna say anything right? I really don't want Pidge to know." i nodded "Of course not. If you want to tell them, then you can tell them. I won't say anything." He breathed a sigh of relief "Whew. Thanks."
We finally reached the festival, and were greeted with bright lights. The Garrison had strung up yellow light everywhere, and there were a few dozen booths with games and assorted foods. Since the Garrison was practically a boarding school, and we didn't get to leave very often, they had little festivals and parties. They started doing it last year, and they had a spring fair. It wasn't very fun, but they had really upped their game for this one. "Is it just me, or does this look way better than the fair we had last year?" I asked, and Keith nodded. "Yeah, last year Iverson, Sanda, and a few of the older people planned it, so it was their idea of fun. This year Adam and Matt had a big role in it. They said they'd hire a few carnies and stuff." "Yeah, and they set up one of the back buildings to be a haunted house." Pidge said, appearing out of nowhere. 'Shit. Where'd you come from?" James asked, She shrugged "The girls sent me over here to tell you that you're on your own. After Lance started flirting with some ghoul, they lost interest in hanging out with him. So you have to babysit him, along with Hunk." "Hey, I do NOT need to be babysat." Hunk said, walking up to us. Pidge rolled her eyes "I know that, I was referring to Lance. I mean, look at him." she gestured to the side, and we saw Lance leaning against a wall talking to some girls. Keith groaned "Ugh! He's gonna ask us to start calling him Loverboy Lance again." I raised an eyebrow, and me and James looked at his confusedly. He sighed "Whenever he's trying to flirt with someone, he refers to himself as Loverboy Lance. He does it all the time in science. Its annoying." Hunk nodded "Yeah. He visited me and my family a few years ago and tried to use a bunch of cheesy pick up lines on my cousin. Her and her boyfriend laughed at his behind his back a lot." James smirked "Was it the one who got married?" Hunk nodded and sighed "Basically, if its alive, Lance will flirt with it." Pidge shrugged "Well, he's your problem now. Later." She ran back to the others. "Come on Pidge! I wanna go to the haunted house!" Veronica yelled. They then ran off in that direction. I sighed "We better get Lance before he does something stupid." Keith scoffed "So we have to stop Lance form being Lance? Good luck with that." We laughed at that. "Come on, I wanna play games! Can't we just leave him? He looks perfectly fine on his own." Hunk shook his head"No Keith, we can't. If we do, he'll do something stupid and they'll get mad at him. I'll get him." He walked over to Lance and started talking to him. The girls and Lance frowned, but after the passing around of a pen and paper, they all left with smiles. "Alright, you guys wanted me?" Lance asked as he walked over. "Yeah, we wanna play games, but we have to babysit you, so we can't go without you." James said. Lance frowned "I don't need to be babysat. I'm a big boy." Keith rolled his eyes "Just shut up and come with us Lance." He grabbed James's hand " Let's go, the games are waiting."
