Outsiders
There's two of them. There's two lances but a female version. Keith didn't know nightmares came true.
That was until he was eating dinner at the McClain residence as he was next to Lance and rosy on his other side, lances twin sister, his older brother who was a cop, his wife who was pregnant but also from the military, his son, and Maria (who might be the sweetest and scariest).
He sat there silently as Lance happily chatted with Rachel at his side as he could hear some Spanish words slip up but he was pretty sure they where swears for the kids to not understand since Maria sent them disapproving looks everytime.
Keith felt Marcos wife's eyes on him as she was a pretty woman with pale skin and black hair with some brown high lights while she had dark blue eyes with freckles splashed across her face. She was as tall as Keith but she had a smaller frame though she was nine months pregnant, Keith could tell she's from the military with her biceps but otherwise he couldn't tell.
"So Keith how do you and Lance know each other?" Marco asked seeing the poor boy didn't know how to start his own conversation.
"We go to school together, for a while," Keith fiddled with his hands in his lap. It's been a while since he's been to a family dinner. A very long while.
"Trust me once your with a McClain your life isn't the same," Marcos wife smirked drinking a cup of water and Lance smirked back at her as he and sam looked at each other.
"That's because first time you came into this house you where left with us when we where seven," Lance smirked.
"Worst babysitting experience ever," she grumbled.
"Why what happened?" Keith asked curiously and Maria smiles innocently.
"Once I found one the other was gone, and that went on for five hours, and these two together are the worst thing ever, especially when they get aggressive," she said glaring at the twins.
"This is from Rach scratching me," Lance pulled up his shorts and Keith saw nail scars.
"And he bit me on the shoulder until I gave him his shoes back," Rachel showed her shoulder where there was a faded bite mark.
"Girls grow taller faster so Rachel took advantage until Lance sprung up like a baby giraffe," Marco laughed.
"Yea but I also got the better skin in puberty," Lance smiled proudly and Rachel sent him a glare.
"And I got better teeth brace face," Rachel shot back.
"Zit face," Lance shot back.
"Four eyes!"
"Enough you two," Maria snapped quickly and the twins quieted down.
"Rachel how's the private school?" Lance asked brightly and the bickering turned to friendly chat.
"It's really hard actually, I miss public school but at least collage won't be as much if I continue being an honors student," Rachel crossed her arms over the table.
"I see someone got the brains of the bunch," Leo giggled.
"I have to agree with you there," Keith smirked back.
"Actually we're both part of honors, only reason I got to go to a better school is cause lances sports will get him into collage too, Lance was a science class ahead for most of highschool," Rachel sent him a look and Lance whistled innocently.
"What class are you in this year for science?" Keith asked confused. He's never seen Lance in any science class.
"Veronica got me into a class at garrisons for astronomy," Lance blushed embarrassed and Sam and Marcos jaws dropped.
"Vee got you in garrisons?!" Rachel cried out.
"Just to get an early credit," he laughed nervously.
"Wait as in Galaxy garrisons?" Keith snapped his head at him and Lance buried his face in his hands.
"Trying?" He squeaked and Keith looked at him shocked.
"How long are you staying for?" Lance asked looking back at his sister.
"With the whole dad situation it might be for a while," Rachel sighed and Lance nodded.
"Luis and Veronica are coming back this weekend and for the week too for it," Maria smiled at her daughter.
"Abuelo is coming back?" Leo asked and rosy looked confused.
"We have an Abuelo?" She asked.
"Don't worry about it sweetie," Marco smiled gently at his baby girl and his wife, Jess, put a hand on his knee under the table.
"Is he like grandpa?" Rosy perked up looking at her mother and Jess smiled gently at the innocently child.
"Hey princesa why don't you and Leo go clean up your toys in the front, you know how abuela is about that," Lance looked at her gently and she smiled nodding getting up as Leo took a hint.
"Lance do you want to take Keith home?" Maria gulped looking at them.
"How about you, Rachel and Jess go get some ice cream with the kids, Keith and i can clean up dinner mama," Lance stood up taking his mothers plate seeing how anxious she seemed now.
"Gracias mijo," Maria kissed his cheek as he took her plate.
"I'll drive," Rachel ran and grabbed the keys as Marco helped up Jess.
"How soon is the baby?" Rachel asked walking over and swung the keys.
"Due in a week or two, don't get pregnant until you know your man can handle you," Jess said grunting and held her pregnant belly.
"I barely can handle you now," Marco grumbled and she kissed his cheek.
"You can go with Marco," Lance smiled at his big brother. He looked at his youngest sibling and nodded slowly with a gentle look.
"Alright everyone to the car," Marco whistled and girls grabbed their purses and shoes as Jess called for her kids and within five minutes they had the house to themselves.
"Sorry bout my family, little chaotic," Lance laughed a little grabbing a few more plates from the table.
"It's nice, different but nice, good to know I'm not the only outsider," Keith teased and Lance snorted.
"Jess? She's been part of the family forever, she and Marco where seventeen when they started to date, he proposed when they where twenty one and Leo was a year old, he was two when they had the wedding and the day before the wedding Jess found out she was pregnant with Rosetta, only because that was their flowers for the wedding," Lance explained.
"I remember Rachel was the flower girl at eleven as I helped Leo walk down with the rings, my mom couldn't stop crying," Lance laughed a little as he started the dishes in the sink and Keith collected them.
"How come you've never said anything about Galaxy garrisons? That's like the best school," Keith leaned against the counter.
"I don't know, Matt is going already, he's in and it's not that big a deal," Lance shrugged. "I'm just the dumb one,"
"Your not dumb, your literally taking a collage class in high school at one of the top schools, your smart as hell you just don't let people see that it seems," Keith snapped at him.
"I guess," he smiled.
Lance started scrubbing the dishes with the sponge as he hummed to himself while Keith stood at the counter boredly while he looked around the kitchen at the memories this house has from the five children that grew up in it.
He looked at Lance as the tune sounded familiar and laughed to himself when he recognized it.
"Isn't that from adventure time?" Keith smiled intrigued and Lance raised an eye brow.
"They got good music, Rebecca sugar is good," Lance smiled proudly.
"Cause of that vampire chick?" Keith snorted.
"Leave Marceline out of it," Lance blew bubbles at him of the dish soap and Keith made a sound of distress jumping away.
"What?!" Keith cried out.
"She and Jake are like the best," Lance smiled putting his hands on his hips.
Lance went back to doing dishes and Keith grabbed them and started to dry them. Keith internally groaned when Lance started humming lyrics again.
"Will you knock it off?" Keith snapped again.
"Nope~" he sang and grabbed Keiths hands and pulled him away as he twirled the shorter boy.
"I just wanna slowwww dance with you," Lance smiled as he pulled Keith close and swayed as Keith was confused and embarrassed how close their bodies where as Lance held his hand and the other was on his waist.
"I know all the other boys are tough and smooth," Lance laughed a little as he sang spinning Keith in his arms.
"But I wanna... Slow dance with you~" he smirked as Keith was unable to speak but he stopped pushing away.
"Slow dance with you," he spun out Keith beaming brightly as Keith didn't notice the light blush on his tan cheeks while he was focusing on not falling but lances eyes where glued on him.
"I-I wanna slow dance with you~" he sung softly pulling Keith back and both hands grabbed his waist as Keith stumbled a little and gripped lances arms to not fall.
"Why don't you take the chance- I've got the mooves but I wanna... Slow dance with you," Lance smiled gently looking down at Keith as the pale boy was starstruck for a moment as Lance held him gently but pushed away slowly and ran a hand through his hair.
"Your such a nerd," Keith pouted a little. Lance was confused for a second but his smile returned as his face was heated and his heart pounded.
"Don't count this as a bonding moment mullet," Lance winked turning away as he smiled to himself a little.
