Chapter 14: 'No strings attached...'

Keith woke up because the sun was seeping in through the curtains. His eyes slowly fluttered open to see that he was alone, in Lance's bed. Keith remembered falling asleep with Lance in bed with him. Where was he now? He sat up and rubbed his tired eyes, hoping they'd focus to the light. God, was he tired. Keith could sleep for hours on end and still wake up exhausted as ever. He was just a person that liked to sleep. Being constantly tired and liking sleep kind of went hand in hand.

Keith felt a little tug at his heart. He wanted Lance to be in bed with him right now. Keith knew that Lance was probably somewhere in the house, but he wanted Lance right next to him. Keith wanted morning cuddles and kisses. He sat there and pouted for a minute, missing Lance's touch. There was no point in waking up in Lance's bed if he wasn't even there.

He lazily swung his legs over the edge of the bed, standing to his feet. Keith had no idea where Lance could be. His house was huge, so it was probably going to be difficult to find him. Keith walked out of Lance's bedroom, dragging himself down the hallway. He peered into some of the rooms, not knowing where to look. Keith figured Lance was probably just downstairs, so that's where he was heading. He stepped down the stairs and wandered into the kitchen, finding Lance there.

Lance was turned around, not able to see Keith yet. He was over the stove, clearly cooking something. Whatever he was cooking smelled amazing, and Keith couldn't wait to get his hands on it. Keith bit his lip with a smile as he crept behind Lance. He never knew Lance could cook. This boy just continued to surprise Keith every day Keith wrapped his arms around Lance's waist, pressing his face against the youngers bareback. From the few nights Keith had spent with Lance, he learned Lance didn't like sleeping in shirts. That was probably the reason he was cooking shirtless right now. He must have just rolled out of bed and went to cook.

Lance jumped a little, not expecting Keith to be up this early. After coming down from his shock he smiled. "Good morning," Lance said in a happy tone. Lance loved weekends, and today was Saturday. After work, he got the freedom to do what he wanted. Weekends were always just sunny days, it put him in a good mood. What put him in an even better mood was Keith being there with him.

"Good morning. You're up early," Keith mentioned. Usually, Keith and Lance woke up around the same time. Right now it was ten in the morning, neither of them would be up right now. They were up till the early hours of the morning, which is why Keith was so surprised.

Lance chuckled, flipping a pancake over. "My sister woke me up when she was getting up for her doctor's appointment today. I decided that once we got the house to ourselves I should put on some breakfast," Lance mumbled with a soft smile. He giggled as Keith slipped under his arm to look at what he was making.

Keith's eyes lit up at the chocolate chip pancakes and bacon in front of him. "And you cook?"

"That I do. Everybody in the house knows how to cook. Mamá made it very clear that if we want to survive in life we need to learn how to cook a meal or two," Lance explained. He watched as Keith stole a piece of bacon from the pan. "Hey!"

Keith giggled and escaped as quickly as possible. He sat at the stools behind the island and enjoyed his piece of bacon. "Bacon is so much better when it's not super crispy," Keith muttered. He liked bacon when it wasn't chewy but wasn't crispy, it was perfect just like that.

Lance laughed at him. He reached into the cabinet above him and pulled out a plate. Using tongs, he pulled the bacon off the pan and onto the plate. Lance set the plate of hot bacon in from of Keith, chuckling at his excited expression. "Don't eat all of it," Lance warned him. Keith picked up a piece off the plate only to burn his fingers. "You just watched me take it off the pan."
