"So yeah, this is my room" Keith stands by the door awkwardly, Lance beside him "okay come in, before other people will do too" he takes Lance's hand and pulls him inside

"Pretty emo" 

"What do you mean 'emo', it's normal" 

"First, you closed the blinds. Second, you have a lot of posters, like really, a lot. Third, messy room, everywhere clothes. Fourth, as I said clothes everywhere and they are mainly black or red. Fifth, almost everything is dark in your room. Should I continue?"

"No, shut up" Keith sits down on his, messy, bed and crosses his arms. Lance just wanders around Keith's room, and Keith definitely didn't look at him the whole time.

Lance stops at his desk "You have make up?" he picks up the eyeliner and black eye-shadow, and looks at Keith

"Yeah? And?" Lance smiles like a creep, glances at the make up and then at Keith again "Nope, not gonna do it"

"Oh come on, Keefers"

"Keefers? No, absolutely not" 

"Keith, please, for me?" Lance does the puppy eyes

"Why would I do this for you?"

"Because we are friends?!" they stay silent for a while, just looking at each other and the eyeliner at times

Keith groans and stand up "Okay, one time and never again" he takes the eyeliner from Lance's hands and sits down. He takes out a hand-mirror out of one of the drawers and looks the last time at Lance "You are going to watch me doing it?"

"Yeah? What else should I do?" 

"Put music on or some shit" he shrugs

"Okay, where are your  CD's?" 

Keith points at his nightstand "Take the one from MCR"

Lance walks over and picks up four "You have four... which one-"

"Three cheers for sweet revenge. I like that one the most" 

Lance nods and puts the other three down "Why are the people on the cover are covered in blood" he asks worriedly

"It's the revenge album.. I mean what do you expect"

"I would rather see flowers than blood"

Keith stands up, with finished eyeliner, and walks over "Of course you would. You listen to what? Beyonce?" he takes the CD from Lance and walks over to the CD player 

"Excuse me, but Beyonce is a goddess"

Keith puts in the CD and starts the music playing. First song "Helena". He just waits for Lance's reaction. "So what do you think?"

"To be honest I thought they only would scream, and you wouldn't be able to understand a word" he says somewhat surprised 

"Yeah, well, listen to Fall Out Boy" Keith chuckles for himself "Sorry it's an insider" 

"For the emos?" 

Keith nods "You know. Their songs have meaning, so shut up and listen to the lyrics" he takes Lance's hand and they both sit down on Keith's bed. Keith concentrates on the music and Lance stares at him. Not only does he look cute when he is focused, but the eyeliner is perfect and suits Keith.

"The eyeliner looks good on you" Lance says

Keith turns his head, so that he faces Lance "E-eh, thank you" not gonna lie, they both are blushing like really hard. "I'm always insecure about it" 

"Why? You looks really good with it, and to be honest honest with you, not only you look just good but also hot"  Lance scratches his neck and looks down on his lap "Okay I made it awkward" 

"Yeah a little bit. B-but thank you" they both laugh and look at everything but at each other.

After some time of awkward silence, and MCR still playing, Lance breaks the silence "So what is your favorite song?" 

"I don't know. Either 'I'm not okay', 'You know what they do to guys like us in prison', 'I never told you what i do for a living', 'Helena', 'Thank you for the Venom', 'The Jetset life is gonna kill you', 'It's not a fashion statement'- you know what, I don't know. But I know that I like this album the most. Sorry I got carried away a little" 

"No don't be sorry, It's cool when someone like something so much they can't stop talking" they both smile and fall silent again, listening to the next song.

Lance looks at Keith, secretly, you know like in these cliche movies? 

That eyeliner really looks good on Keith, Lance can't take his eyes off of that emo. He didn't even think emos could pull off 'being/looking hot' so good. To Lance, Keith is really attractive right now. Not only because of his face and such, and the mullet doesn't looks so bad either. 

He puts a strand of hair behind his ear, like it's the most normal thing to do for two dudes who only know each other for a short time. Like they are boyfriends or something.

Keith turns his head again to look at Lance "Aahhaah, I'm sorry, I- eh, sorry I don't know what I thought" 

"Wow Lance, you act really nervous, do you have a crush on me?" Keith says sarcastically with a smirk on his face

Lance turns really red "Calm down McClain, I was joking" Keith chuckles and stands up. He walks over to his desk and takes cigarettes and holds then out "Wanna go for a smoke?" Lance nods and they both walk out.

"Let's go for a walk. I don't wanna be around drunks" Keith says, Lance nods again.

Once they are out of the house they start walking somewhere, where they also don't know yet.

They stop for a second to light their cigarettes and then continue walking.

"Did you come alone?" 

"No, Pidge came with me. Hunk was busy and I convinced Pidge to come along" 

"You convinced that gremlin?" Keith laughs "How?"

"I told them to take pictures so they can use it as blackmail" Keith laughs again and after they both fall silent.

Lance was a little bit nervous to be alone with Keith. After what happened in Keith's room, he really got nervous. Isn't if weird if boys like boys? His parents always were kind of against it? Not that they are homophobic, but they also don't think it's normal.

Lance grew up with the thought that it is not normal. But when he seen Adam and Shiro, he just thinks it's the most normal thing on the world. 

It's not weird, no, society made them think that it's weird and wrong, but it isn't. After all everyone should be with the one they love.

Is Keith gay? Like you know, out of curiosity, not that Lance wants something from him. 

"Is something wrong, Lance?" he looks up and then at Keith "You suddenly went quite. You normally never shut up" Keith chuckles

"Very funny, Kogane" Lance rolls his eyes "And no, I've just been thinking"

Keith nods "About what?"

"Shiro and Adam" 

Keith furrows his eyebrows "What exactly were you thinking? Not bad things right?"

"No. I just adore -?- how they are open about their relationship. I mean, there are a lot of homophobes here, right. And I guess I think it is brave that they are open about it?" 

"Yeah. It actually took them a lot of time to go public with it. And I partly think that people don't hate on them because of their reputation. Like, if I would come out, I bet that people would bully me more than normal" 

"You mean your are-"

"Gay, yeah. I hope it doesn't make you uncomfortable?"

"No, no, don't worry. So you are not out yet?" 

Keith shakes his head a little and looks at his almost finished cigarette "Shiro and his friends know, and Shiro's parents. Maybe some people here and there know too, but that's it I guess" 

"Then I'm glad you were comfortable telling me" Lance smiles at Keith, and Keith returns the smile. "So now that we are on the topic with sexuality and such. Did someone catch your eye?" Lance smirks at him

Keith tenses up a bit "N-no"

Lance closes his eyes and nods "Keith do you smell that?"

"What do you mean?"

"Smells like lies here" he opens his eyes and looks straight -as straight as it can be- at Keith

"You will annoy me until I tell you right?" Lance nods "Okay. But it doesn't matter anyways, he isn't even gay, so yeah" Keith shrugs

"Well bisexuality exists. Maybe he just isn't our yet?"

"Maybe"

"Who is it? Do I know him?"

Keith hesitates but answers anyways "Y-yeah" he blushes "But it's not like it's really a crush, just a little bit of feelings here and there, but it will be over soon, I know"

"That's how a love story starts. Believe me. My sisters watch a lot of cliche love movies, I know how that shit works" Lance says, completely serious

"Yeah, but reality will never be like these cliche things" he hopes they won't. Because Keith really doesn't want to fall deeply in love with someone who actually wants to be friends with him, or more specific, he doesn't want to ruin it. 

"Nah I believe in that shit. My parents had this kind of shit, but like in Spanish" Lance smirks, about to tell the story "So you know those typical scenes in Spanish movies where a woman trips on something and a guy catches her, and suddenly he has a rose in his mouth and he brings the woman back up and they make this rotting dance thing?" 

Keith stays silent and looks a little worried about Lance "Lance what did you drin-"

"Listen, listen" he cuts him off "So and then they have this  kind of conversation -and in the movies they zoom in their faces- and they something like 'I will protect you with my life senorita' in a really heavy ascent and then the woman says 'I have been waiting for you my whole life'" 

Keith stays silent 

"Well, my parents had something like that. Buuuut they then realized that they don't love each other, after my mother gave birth to my siblings and me, and they got divorced"

"I'm sorry Lance"

"Nah it's okay" Lance smiles at Keith, and then the smile turns in a smirk ad from that in some kind of creepy joker smile "And don't think I forgot about you crush. I wanna know more"

"Well I'm not telling you his name, that's for sure" Keith rolls his eyes

"Then tell me how they are, and maybe how they look" they both finished their cigarettes and throw them in the ground, bad I know, and Keith takes a second one, Lance refuses.

"Okay well, let' start with, I already told you that it's not really a crush?"

"Whatever you say, Kogane, in my opinion you have a crush"

Keith rolls his eyes and starts talking "So okay, he" Keith take a little time to think how to start "He always makes stupid jokes, but they are funny at times. He always brings me in a good mood, but he can be annoying at times. Also he is smart-"

"So you have classes with him, okay, mark that for later brain" Lance notes to himself

"Like I said he is smart, and I think a lot of people don't even realize it. And I know a lot of people say, looks don#t matter, but still he looks really good-"

He cuts him off again "You want to tell me there is someone more attractive than me at school"

Keith chuckles awkwardly and looks down, and blushes, and realizes that Lance might be oblivious "Shut up. He is cute and dumb"

"So, he is funny, annoying, brings you in a good mood, smart, and looks good. Do you two know each other?" Keith nods "Wow Keith knows more people than Shiro's friends, Hunk, Pidge, and me, you surprised me, not gonna lie"

"Lance you are an idiot" 

"Shut up. Did you even talked to him once?"

"I talk to him a lot. I'm not that typical emo kid you see in your cliche movies"

"Just watch it, Keefers. You will have a cliche love story"

"No, not gonna happen, I hate cliche"

"Suck for you"

They fall silent, but seconds after burst out in laughter

"Should we walk back?" Keith asks 

"Yeah. What time is it?"

Keith shrugs "I left my phone in my room"

"Fuck, I did too" 

They walk back in silence. Once they were back they walk again up in Keith's room.

Lance checks his phone and opens a message from Veronica. She will pick him and Pidge up in ten minutes 

"Well I gotta go. My sister will pick me and Pidge up"

"Okay then. see you at school?" Keith scratches his neck 

"Yup, definitely" Lance opens the door but before walking out he stops another time and looks at Keith "And put on eyeliner on Monday, you look really good with it. I bet your crush will also think so" he smiles the last time at Keith and leaves, closing the door behind him.

Let's just say, My Chemical Romance is not the only romance he has.
