The smell of Coffee and coconut

22. Friday 21st

Keith's eyes slowly opened, right in next to him was Lance, still asleep. Lance's face was so close he could feel his slow breath on his face.

Keith blushed and quickly got out of bed in panic and put on a random hoodie that sat on the floor. He went downstairs and sat on the couch.

He was rethinking on yesterday's events, the way he could smell Lance's clothes, it smelled like a mix of men's soap and something... fruity.

Being close to Lance was one of the best feelings Keith had ever felt. He felt... warm.

The ping of his phone snapped him out of his thoughts.

-

Pidgen: the end of school party we do every year

Keith: sure well come, where is it

Pidgen: rolo's Lance knows where he lives just ask him

Meanwhile, Lance walked downstairs and sat next to Keith.

"Why are you wearing my hoodie?" He asked, Keith looked down.

"Oh sorry, I just picked up the first this I saw on the floor" he said, he looked back down on his phone.

"Pidge invited us to a party" he stated.

"The end of year party?" Lance asked, Keith nodded.

"Yeah she said it was at Rolo's? She said you'd know where he lives"

"I do, he lives in the same neighbourhood as Lotor"

"Oh... ok cool"

"Anyways, wanna go to the park?" Lance asks, Keith nods and smiles. He looked at Lance and closed his phone.

"Of course! Let me go grab my sketchbook" he walked upstairs and put on a beanie and grabbed his backpack with his art supplies in it. He went back downstairs and Lance was already waiting for him in the entryway.

Keith quickly put on his shoes and they both headed outside.
They started walking, Keith was weirdly happy that day.

"You seem cheerful, what's up?" Lance asked, Keith looked over at him curiously and chuckled.

"I guess I slept well" he answered, he looked away, blushing.

"What, you like being in my bed?" Lance teased and Keith blushed more.

"So what if I did?" Keith played along. Lance smiled and put his arm around Keith's shoulder.

"Oh Keithy, I know you did" Lance joked, Keith tried to hide his blush behind his hand but he was unsuccessful.
"Aww at I making you blush?"

"Shut up!" Keith pushed Lance away, he still had a smiled on his face.

"Oh come on! You loved it" Lance kept teasing, they'd finally arrived to the park. Keith sat on a bench and he took out a cigarette out of his bag.

"I bet kissing you would be disgusting" Lance affirmed, Keith looked at him with question marks in his eyes.

"Why?" He asked, lighting his cigarette.

"You smoke, it'd taste... and smell" he stated, Keith put on a smirk. Lance sat next to him.

"Why not see for yourself?" Keith teased, Lance was left speechless.

"W-well you know what? I will!" He grabbed Keith's cheeks and kissed his lips. Keith was in shock, he just stared. Lance had his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes closed. After a second or two, Keith finally kissed back. He slowly closed his eyes and let himself lean into it. He rested one of his hands on Lance's thigh and the other one behind his neck.

Before he even knew it, Lance pulled away. They stared at each other in shock of what just happened. Keith looked down and lightly touched his lips.

"I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that" Lance muttered. Keith was speechless, he didn't say a word.

"I- I think I'll go home" Lance quickly walked away and went home.

Did this really just happen?
I mean... I didn't hate it I just didn't expect him to just kiss me like that.

Keith thought, he was snapped out of his thoughts by a voice that was slightly familiar. It was deep and charismatic.

Lotor

"Why if it isn't Keith" he said as he sat down next to Keith.

"W-what do you want, Lotor" Keith was growing anxious, he was starting to shake a little bit.

"I just wanna say sorry... can I take you out to coffee and make it up to you?" He proposed, Keith couldn't think straight so he just nodded without thinking it through.

"Yeah sure, whatever"

"Ok, so you wanna go right now? I have my car" Lotor says with a smirk on his face.

"Ok" Keith agreed, they got up and Keith got into Lotor's car. They drove to a fancy coffee shop in the neighbourhood.

They finally got there and Keith got a hold of his thoughts again.

They each ordered a coffee and sat down in a booth next to the windows.

"So, you going to the party tomorrow?" Lotor questioned.

"Uh yeah, you?"

"Of course! It's the biggest party of the year" Lotor exclaimed.

"Oh... ok" Keith's voice was small, he was still nervous around Lotor.

They talked for a while until Lotor drove Keith home.

"Where were you?" Lance asked worried.

"At Altea's café with Lotor"

"Oh, that asshole?" Lance stated, Keith jumped, he nodded and looked away.
