The smell of Coffee and coconut

6. Monday 10th

Keith woke up, jumping out of his sleepy state  CD remembering it was school today. He looked at his cal arm clock and it only said 6am.

3 hours is better than nothing.

He got up and went to the bathroom. Yesterday was wild, he remembered playing stupid games like truth or dare and drinking milkshakes.

He took a shower and felt more awake the second he went in. He got out and brushed his teeth. He was tired, but not from lack of sleep, he was just- tired. He got downstairs and made breakfast; if he was going to be waking up early, he'd at least make everyone happy.

The first one to get up was Lance's mom. She got out of her room in her room with tired eyes.

"Ay mijo, what arr you doing up so early?" She asked, though Keith knew she was happy she didn't have to do it herself.

"I woke up early, I thought I'd make breakfast"  he smiled at the woman and she placed a kiss on his cheek.

"Thank you, everyone will be very happy" she went to the fridge and got out orange juice just as Krolia came out of he room.

"Good morning, Keith, are you making breakfast?" She asked with a little bit of surprise in her eyes. Keith nodded and started to make some coffee. Pidge and Lance came down the stairs next.

Pidge's face lit up at the smell of coffee. Lance walked up to Keith and poked him, his eyes were furrowed and he looked angry but playful.

"Why are you perfect?" He said. Keith shrugged and blushed slightly.
"You keep stealing my family" he said as he grabbed himself a cup of juice.

They ate breakfast without the rest of the family since most of them didn't work or got o school that day. That talked and it was a nice morning.

"So Lance, Keith," Pidge started. She had a devilish look on her face and looked like she had something going on. Everyone at the dinner table looked at her "why were you hugging last night?" She smirked and the two mothers looked over at the boys.

"We talked about something,, emotional I guess?" Keith replied.

"What was it" Lance's mother asked.

"When we were kids" he smiled and looked towards his food.

"Well what about when you were kids?" Pidge asked. She meant nothing wrong, she was just curious.

"How- how I didn't remember a thing" Keith looked down and so did Krolia. It wasn't the answer Pidge was expecting but she nodded. Lance put his hand subtly on Keith's back for comfort.

"How come?" Mrs. McClain asked.

"I don't know, I just don't, Lance seemed to remember all these things- and he even showed me a picture! But I just couldn't remember" he smiled sadly.

"Anyways," he got up and brought his dishes to the sink. He smiled at the family before going upstairs.

The day at school was average, only one student called him a faggot which, compared to other days, wasn't too bad.

He got back home and instantly plopped down on his bed, face first. He'd been sitting there for a few minutes and he rolled over. His gaze turned to Lance looking at him from his own bed. The other boy was sat on the edge of the mattress with his chin rested in his hand.

"What are you looking at?" Keith said.

"Well you, obviously" Lance rolled his eyes and let his back fall against the mattress.

"Well obviously, but why?" Keith joined Lance on his bed and imitated him. Lance shrugged.

"Dunno"

They were left in a comfortable silence before Keith broke it.

"I like the glowey stars on the ceiling" he said. Lance smiled.

"Yeah, me too" Lance turned to look at Keith and ate up all his characteristics. Like the teeny tiny dimples on his left cheek, or or the fact his eyelashes are really long. He even noticed the small mole close to his ear.

"Stop staring" Keith said before turning his head to Lance. Their nose touched and both smiled. Keith chuckled lightly and looked back up.

"How do you feel about stars?" Lance asked, Keith shrugged.

"I don't know, they're just fire balls far, far away in the sky" Lance chuckled.

"True"

"How do you feel about them?"

"I like 'em. They glow in the sky and it's pretty"
Keith smiled and Lance turned his head quickly, gasping. Lance had an idea.

"Wanna listen to music?" He asked. Keith shrugged as a sign he didn't really care wether or not they played music. Lance got up and grabbed his phone. He started his playlist and got back on the bed.

They listened to the music in silence, Keith was comfortable with that and so was Lance. But when that one song came up, he had to dance.

He gasped and looked at Keith. "Keith, we have to dance," Keith quickly shook his head.

"Come on, It'll be fun" Lance said. Keith sighed and got up. Lance grabbed his hands and started singing the song. He moved his hips like the real Cuban he was and, to be honest, it kind of hypnotized Keith. His gay really showed.

Lance was smiling and singing the Spanish lyrics like it was nothing. Keith just went along with it. Both never wanted to leave this moment. It was something out of this world, Keith couldn't keep his eyes off Lance, not only his hips but his mouth, his cheeks, his hair, even his goddamn forehead. His skin still had flaws like the fact his lips were a little bit chapped or the imperfection of his eyebrows. They were uneven but that didn't matter to Keith in the slightest.

They kept dancing even after the song was done, they were slow dancing to Beyoncé, which Keith found to be hilarious.

A knock was heard from the door and both boys turned to look who it was. The parted slightly but their hands were still together.

Veronica was at the door,
"Dinner's ready" the girl said. Keith and Lance nodded and Lance let go of only one of Keith's hand. They made their way to the dinning room and they finally let go of each other's hands. They sat down and ate their food silently.

"So," Veronica started "you and Keith huh?" She looked at Lance, he choked on his food and looked at her as if she were evil. "What? You were dancing together in a very intimate way" she said. Keith blushed furiously and he just kept his head down, playing with his food.

"We're just friends, I'm not gay." Lance said. Keith nodded in agreement and Luis, Lance's younger brother laughed. Everyone stared at him and he just stared back.

"What? That clearly wasn't platonic" he said. Krolia laughed Silently and hid her mouth behind her hand.

Keith chuckled and soon, everyone joined in. Lance was visibly still uncomfortable but he still laughed along.

When dinner was done, everyone went to their own way, Luis went to annoy Veronica in her room, the two moms went to the living room and Keith and Lance to their room.

Lance sat at his desk and Keith on his bed. Often, Lance would sneak a glance at Keith, he wouldn't notice though.

"Hey Keith?" Lance asked. Keith hummed in response and looked up from his screen to look at the boy in front of him.

"Who's your favourite Disney princess?"
