This is Keith's birthday chapter so enjoy :))
It'll be in a different AU but I don't have a name for it so let your imagination run wild for it I guess lol.

Keith quietly sat in his favorite seat at the café he and his friends frequented more than they would like to admit. It was a booth next to the window where the perfect amount of sunlight filtered through the window and gave him the perfect view of the park across the street where he could see people playing with their pets or even families having nice little picnics in the last of October's bearable warmth before fall finally set in. The view of the river in the distance was just perfect enough for Keith to see the ripples on its surface and to see the beautiful patterns the sunlight gave it. The gold, orange, and even yellow leaves of the trees outside filled his mind with content.

He sat alone simply because he wanted to get there earlier than his friends; today was just one of those days where he wanted to enjoy the company of his mind and sip on the hot chocolate he ordered every time he came here. It always had the same thing; the beverage, whip cream, chocolate sprinkles, chocolate powder, and a simple strawberry on top. Pidge often called it the 'diabetic coma' drink since there was so much chocolate in it but Hunk would argue and call it 'perfection' anytime the short girl tried to make fun of him.

"I see you've already bought your special drink," Lance sighed as he sat down across from Keith while he placed his own drink down and placed a red gift wrapped box on top of the table. "Good thing I didn't order your drink then, huh?" The blue-eyed man smirked as he laced his fingers together and leaned forward to look at Keith.

Keith raised an eyebrow as he glanced over at the box then back at his way too early friend sitting across from him. "Uh," he slowly pointed at the red box with a way too sparkly bow on it and frowned, "What's that?"

"Oh come on, don't tell me you forgot about your own birthday Keith?" Lance whined as he rested his forehead against the table top pitifully, "I worked my ass off to buy you this gift and I even kept your birthday a secret from everyone!"

Keith stared at Lance in confusion. He never told anyone his birthday for two reasons. One being that he never celebrated it simply because it was a normal day and two being that he didn't like people buying him stuff. "When the hell did I ever tell you about my birthday?" Keith asked in a mixture of confusion and annoyance.

Lance lifted his head up to reveal a red mark on his forehead from leaning it on the table. "When you're drunk you tend to say a lot of your secrets like how you were the one to break Shiro's coffee machine but you made it look like I did it," he pouted slightly and glared at the mullet haired dork in front of him, "I'm still mad about that."

"Okay but when was I drunk?" Keith inquired as he glanced at the box with curiosity beginning to itch at his fingertips making them feel all tingly in excitement. "And what did you even buy me?"

Lance slowly moved the box over in front of him and smiled at Keith playfully, "You got drunk last week when you were watching supernatural Keith. You were crying about Castiel and how they couldn't do that to you a week before your birthday. Also," Lance puffed out his cheeks slightly in excitement as he pushed the gift towards Keith and began to him to the tune of 'Happy Birthday'. "You just have to open and see~"

Keith frowned in annoyance, how dare his friend bring up Castiel on his birthday? He slowly grabbed the gift and glared at Lance as he watched the taller guy fidget in his seat way too much out of anticipation. "Stop moving around so much."

"I can't, I am way too excited over your reaction."

"Fuck off."

Keith didn't want to watch the guy wiggle around anymore so he lifted the top off the box and felt his brows knit together in a frown as he placed the top to the side and reached in to pull out a scarf. "You worked your ass off to give me a red scarf?"

"I hand made it dick," Lance scowled before he pointed at the box, "There's more in there too you know."

Keith felt himself trying to hold back a smile as he slowly placed the scarf to the side and reached down into the box to pull out a little book labeled 'Coupons for the mullet man'. He didn't question Lance about this since he saw how excited his friend was so he began to flip through it. Inside were multiple coupons for different things like a free hot chocolate, a free bottle of vodka, a supernatural night where they would binge the entire series start to end, a free massage, a hug, and on the final page Keith's face lit up bright red in shock at the final coupon.

"F-Free k-kiss?" Keith's voice cracked as he looked up to meet Lance's gaze.

Lance smiled devilishly as he did his stupid little finger gun thing at Keith, "I'll give you a free sample of it right now," he leaned over the table, tilted Keith's chin up gently with his finger tips and placed his lips against Keith's.

Keith stared at Lance's face in pure shock as his body screamed in delight. He had never wanted to tell the others but he always had a little crush on Lance ever since high school when he was the new kid. Keith felt himself relax a little as he closed his eyes and kissed Lance back, unaware of a stunned friend group standing outside the window snapping photos of it all.

Lance finally pulled back slightly so that his hot breath tickled Keith's lips, "want to cash in the coupon now?"

"God yes."

Okay it was short but I didn't really have a good idea for his birthday chapter and I apologize :(

For those of you who read my last author's note in this story then you all know that I will be creating a novel version of the story that's in more details and the characters are more in depth. Here are the characters who will be taking team Voltron's place;

Lance McClain- Matias Vazquez
Keith Kogane- Orion
Allura Romero- Reka Miksa
Katie/Pidge Holt- Lina/Leo Harris
Takashi Shirogane "Shiro"- Kiyoshi Anno "Kiyo"
Hunk- Milo Ragus

Their personalities will be different obviously since I'm no longer forced to write the characters in a certain way like I have to for fan fiction but those are the names. Here are their appearances if you're interested;

Matias: Ecuadorian, tall, dark skin, blue eyes (since Lance's eyes were important I decided to keep up with the blue eyes theme), thick and curly black hair, freckles, glasses. He wears a lot of sweatshirts and sweatpants to hide the fact he has an eating disorder.

Orion: half Korean/American, short, pale, green eyes, has a mullet but keeps it tied back (I can't just drop the mullet okay), wears a lot of flannel and jeans.

Reka: Hungarian, black, dirty blonde, brown eyes, medium height, glasses, wears dressy clothes since she participates in a lot of school activities and is the student council President. Always hair her hair up in a ponytail.

Lina/Leo: Italian, short, brunette with short hair, brown eyes, freckles, wears baggy clothes to hide the fact they're a girl.

Kiyo: Japanese, tallest, black hair, brown eyes, wears t-shirts and jeans mostly and plays baseball.

Milo: American, tall, ginger, green eyes, wears a lot of blue clothes that are baggy on him because it makes him feel safer.

If y'all want their personalities here;

Cinnamon roll: Milo and Reka

Looks like a sinnamon roll but is actually a cinnamon roll: Matias and Kiyo

Looks like a sinnamon roll and is a sinnamon roll: Lina/Leo

Just sin: Orion

This won't be made until after this story is finished but I just wanted to show y'all the main characters of the story. There will be more interaction with each other in the story and the romance won't be as rushed like in this story but it will still be called Beautiful Disasters unless I think of a better name which I probably will.

Have a good day❤

EDIT: the relationships from this story may or may not be the same I will let this remain mystery
