Chapter 10: 'What am I to you?'

Keith was awoken by the sound of an alarm. The two boys were up till about three in the morning watching movies and talking. They didn't do anything, surprisingly. They did cuddle though. Keith wasn't really the type of person to cuddle, but he made do for Lance.

Lance sat up, his hair a mess. He grabbed his phone and turned off his alarm. It was five in the morning, time to get ready for work. Keith watched as Lance swung his legs over the edge of the bed and sat there for a second. He was running off two hours of sleep right now. Lance rubbed his eyes and yawned, wishing he didn't have work today. He wanted to stay in bed with Keith all day long, but he needed the money.

"Where are you going?" Keith asked as Lance stood up and stretched. He puffed out his bottom lip in sadness, not wanting Lance to leave.

Lance turned to face the older boy. "I have to go to work," Lance muttered. He ran his hand through Keith's black locks and cupped his cheek. "I'll probably be back before your even awake."

"But-"

Lance kissed Keith's cheek softly. "Go back to sleep, I promise I'll be back before you wake up. And if I'm not then you can pester me about it till my ear falls off."

Keith giggled at him. He noticed how Lance was becoming more comfortable around him. He was kissing him and cuddling with him. Was Lance finally starting to realize his sexuality? Keith nuzzled his face into Lance's hand and nodded. Lance walked off into his bathroom to get ready, leaving Keith in bed.

Keith wondered if Lance was finally coming to his senses. He was so affectionate towards Keith that it made it seem like they were together. They weren't together though. The two were just friends. Could Lance just be doing this for his own pleasure? Keith didn't know and honestly, he didn't care. He liked the feeling of being loved, being wanted. Keith hadn't felt this way his whole life. Now that he was getting the attention he craved he didn't want it to end.

Keith decided it was better not to question it. Lance was fine being touchy when it was just the two of them. He didn't want anyone to know his secret. Keith was fine with it as long as he got the love he yearned for. He didn't think he was being used. Keith just thought that Lance was figuring himself out and Keith was helping him through it.

Keith laid back down and closed his eyes he hugged a pillow close to his chest and drifted back to sleep.

Lance walked back into the bedroom seeing Keith fast asleep. He smiled at the raven-haired boy. Lance sat on the edge of the bed and stared down at Keith. "What am I doing to you? What am I doing to us?" Lance asked, as if Keith could hear him.

Lance didn't know if he was straight, gay, or whatever. His mind still wouldn't let him decide. No matter how hard he tried to decide his brain wouldn't let him. He knew that he wanted everything he did with Keith, but he didn't know if it was right. Lance honestly found it annoying, he could make out with a boy, but not admit to being a little gay. He hated himself so much for not being able to decide who he was. Lance just wished he could cast away the negative thoughts and be okay with who he was.

Lance felt bad for having to put Keith through this all. He could only imagine what went through Keith's head when they did the things they did. Lance didn't want to confuse Keith just as he was confused. Keith didn't deserve to be used in the ways Lance was using him. Lance just wanted to finally come to terms with himself. He didn't want to make Keith hurt because of this.

Lance brushed aside those thoughts and went back to getting ready. He couldn't be late for work.

...

When Keith woke up again he woke up to something that he was never going to forget. It was Lance. Lance was curled up in his arms sound asleep.
