The smell of Coffee and coconut

21. Thursday 20th

They finally got home, the family started unpacking they bags and running to their rooms.

Lance jumped on his bed, sighing in relief.
"Oh how I've missed you!" He hugged one of his pillows and stayed there for a while.

Meanwhile, Keith tried to find an excuse to sleep in Lance's bed with him. He had an idea but he really didn't know if it would work. Like, he couldn't just walk up to Lance and say 'oh hey Lance the super handsome boy who is my crush but i don't know it yet! Mind if I sleep in your bed with you tonight?"

He hesitantly walked in the room.
"Hey Lance" Keith said, Lance turned around and looked Keith in the eye.

"Oh! Keith! What's up?" He cheerfully asked.

"I was wondering if you'd wanna watch a movie tonight?" Keith asked, Lance's eyes glow at the idea. It could give him a chance to cuddle with his crush.

"Of course!" He said a little bit too quickly.

"Cool! I'll go to the grocery store later with my mom, I'll buy snacks" he says, Lance nodded and smiled happily.

-

Keith and his mom were in the car, going to the grocery store. He looked out the window.

"Mom?"

"Yes honey?" Krolia replies, she glaces at Keith and he turns his head to look at her.

"I think I wanna try therapy like you said i should" he confessed, his mom smiled with warmth and put one of her hands in Keith's hair.

"Of course honey"

-

"Mom? You said we'd talk when we get home" Lance said nervously.

"Yes, I wanted to tell you that it's going to take me some time. But Know that I don't love you less" she affirmed, she hugged Lance tightly. Lance smiled and hugged back.

The door opened and Keith and his mom walked in with a few bags. They set them on the kitchen counter and Keith grabbed on of them and brought it upstairs, Lance followed him curiously.

"What's In the bag?" Lance asked, Keith looked at him smiling.

"Snacks!" He affirmed, Lance gave him a questioning look and walked over the bag and looked inside.

"Let's see... gummy worms, popcorn, liquorice anddd... SKITTLES YES" Lance exclaimed at his favourite candy.

"Nope! These are mine" Keith said, grabbing the skittles, Lance looked at him with a sad look.

"Pleaseeeee" he pleaded, "they're my favourite, Keith at least share" Lance gave Keith the puppy dog eyes. Keith couldn't resist.

"Fineeee. You can have them" Keith said, defeated.

"Thank you!" Lance exclaimed, he rushed towards Keith and hugged him way to tight.

"Lance stop I can't breathe" Keith said, Lance let for but put his hands on Keith's shoulders.

"Ugh! I'm so happy I could kiss you right now" Lance exclaimed.

"Then do it" Keith smugly said, smirking. Lance blushed and looked away.

"He, I won't do that" he rubbed the back his neck.
"Anyways," Lance started.

"Kids! Time for dinner!" Krolia shouted from downstairs.

-

After dinner, Keith and Lance went back up to their room and both sat on Lance's bed. Lance got his laptop out and opened Netflix.

"So what do you wanna watch?" He asked.

"Well I saw a movie that looked good, it's Alex Strangelove" he proposed, Lance nodded and searched for the movie. Before starting the movie, Lance got under one of the blankets his mom made him, it was the biggest one he had, enough space for 2 people.

Keith plopped down next to him and slipped under the blanket with him. Keith nervously placed his head on Lance's chest and waited to see if he would oppose. Lance placed his arm around Keith's shoulders and started the movie.

After only a couple dozen minutes, Keith could feel himself falling asleep when his phone suddenly started ringing.

He got up and grabbed it from his bed and answered.

"Hello?"

"Keith?"  The other person said. Keith recognized that voice, he gasped silently before tears came up his eyes.

"Shiro?" He mumbled.

"He, yeah it's me. I've missed you bro, how have you been?"

"Shiro I miss you so much... I'm ok"

"That's good to hear. I'll try and visit you as soon as possible. So how's it going with Lance?" Shiro asked, Keith smiled.

"It's really great," Keith started, he looked at Lance and smiled even brighter, "he's really nice"

"Good, could I talk to mom?" Keith nodded even though Shiro couldn't see him and went downstairs to give his phone to his mom.

After a while of hearing his mom talking to Shiro she handed him the phone.
"I gotta go now, but I'll call you as soon as I can ok? I love you, Keith"

"I love you too" Keith said before hanging up, he went back upstairs and laid next to Lance.

"Was it Shiro?" He asked, Keith nodded and hummed, he cuddled closer to Lance and wrapped his arm around Lance's waist, He closed his eyes and slowed his breathing.

"W-what are you doing?" Lance nervously asked.

"Mmm, sleeping"

"Oh...ok, goodnight...?"
