Lance groaned into the pillow loving the way Keith's hands worked. He could feel every ounce of tension leave his body as Keith kneaded and rolled all the knots from his shoulders and back. Auditions were over and they had one day before the results were in so everyone took the day off. Lance's body was stiff and achy and it didn't help he was sore in other ways. Thank God for Keith and his magic hands though Lance thought feeling better already. Once the massage was over the two boys got ready for the day with an excited buzz. It was time to explore what could be Lance's new home.

"You ready?" Keith asked standing in the doorway to the bedroom watching Lance finish tying his shoes. After last night's activities there was no way Keith could deny his feelings for Lance. He was officially doomed.

"Just about!" Lance replied grabbing his wallet from the nightstand. The poor housekeepers had a job to do after everything that happened he thought seeing the pile of soiled sheets in the corner. Oops. Lance slipped his hand into Keith's interlacing their fingers and leaning in for a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Now I'm ready."

The couple traveled the whole city starting at Central Park then the Empire State Building, then ended in Times Square. They were doing all the touristy stuff but it was a blast none the less. There was a photo booth and Lance drug Keith into it claiming they had to make memories. A few moments later 2 photo strips were printed and admired. Keith tucked his safely away in his wallet, can't lose that. They tried all kinds of foods from different food carts but the Cronuts were what stole Lance's heart for sure.

The sun started setting as the two snuggled into the park bench to watch it. They really stopped to rest their tired feet bit it doubled as a great view. Lance was going through the pictures they had gotten throughout the day trying to decide on a new profile pic. Neither had mentioned the auditions and Keith was worried he would dampen the mood if he brought them up. He had a terrible feeling that Lance hadn't made it even though he hoped with his whole heart he did. He wouldn't mind moving to New York, they had great schools here if he ever wanted to go back.

The wind picked up sending a chilly breeze through the park as they headed home for the night. Lance cursed himself for not bringing a jacket but at the first sight of shivers Keith was laying his own over his shoulders. Lance gratefully took it slipping his arms in the sleeves. Much better. The two had rented movies for that night so thye could just cuddle and enjoy their last night in New York for a while. Keith started setting up the movie keeping an ear on the popping from the kitchen not wanting the popcorn to burn. Lance came out of he bathroom wearing only a button up and shorts exposing all of his long glorious legs.

"Hey, that's my shirt!" Keith said realizing it was indeed true.

"Not tonight it's not" Lance grinned grabbing the popcorn out of the microwave and dumping it into a large bowl.

"It looks better on you anyways" Keith stated plopping himself down on the pillow bed they had made on the floor. Lance came over and crawled into the heap of fluff before snuggling into a blanket cocoon.

"What movie did you get?" He asked munching on some buttery corn.

"Fifty Shades of Grey." Keith said and was shocked at Lance's surprised look.

"You got porn?!" Keith sat up confused.

"I thought it was about someone being colorblind or something! How was I supposed to know?" Lance was just laughing his ass off and got a pillow to the face. Keith reddened in embarrassment and crossed is arms.

"Shut up." He grumbled. Lance climbed onto his lap and left a line of kisses on his jaw.

"Don't worry, Maybe it'll give you some.. inspiration?" He nipped at his ear before laying down again. Keith pushed play not knowing what he had gotten himself in to. Lance had fallen asleep halfway through leaving Keith wide eyed and intrigued as he watched the movie. He could only imagine Lance tied down like that. His pretty mouth gagged while he was being choked. Damn,this definitely brought out his kinky side didn't it. Keith made sure Lance was asleep before heading to the bathroom. It was sad how a movie got him so worked up he needed to masturbate in the bathroom. What Lance didn't know wouldn't kill him.

Th movie ended and Keith shut off the TV and went around turning off the lights around the room. He quietly crawled onto the pillow bed not to wake the snoring boy next to him. He snuggled deeper pulling Lance towards him so he could wrap his arms around him. He didn't sleep for a while just enjoying holding him knowing tomorrow could be the start of something great or the beginning of hell.

It was nice being able to wake up naturally, no alarms or responsibilities. Keith stretched out feeling Lance's warmth still beside him. It was also nice to wake up next to him. He rolled onto his side facing Lance before softly moving some hair from thee sleeping boy's face. He looked so peaceful when he slept, Keith felt a powerful urge to just kiss him but he didn't want to wake him up. Instead he just watched him sleep thinking back to how this all started. It started with a blushing rambling boy in the grocery store. Never would Keith have guessed he'd end up dating the guy. Things happen for a reason right? Keith was at the darkest part of his life and in walked a glowing light to help him through it. Lance was a blessing for him.

Lance started to wake up and Keith quickly closed his eyes so Lance wouldn't wake up to a creepy guy staring at him. Keith pretended to wake up feeling Lance wake up.

"Good morning Sleeping Beauty" Keith said planting a long overdue kiss on his lips.

"Mornin'" Lance said sitting up and rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "I missed the movie. Did you like it?"

"Oh I- um. Yeah. Good..story line" Keith reddened at Lance's eyebrow wiggle pushing him over.

"Hey!" Keith rolled out of the makeshift bed and headed into the kitchen to start some coffee for the two. Lance walked in and wrapped his long arms around Keith's waist resting his head on his back.

"Sleep okay?" Keith asked turning in his grip to face him.

"Yeah, I just feel like I could sleep for a year still though" The sleepy boy yawned again.

"Don't worry, once we get home you can sleep as long as you want. Mandatory vacation. "Lance nodded having no complaints. They had about 2 hours before the list was posted so they spent the time packing their things so they were ready for their flight that afternoon. Keith walked into the living room to see Lance in nothing but a bath robe draped over the Jacuzzi.

"Should we use this bad boy once more before we go?" He asked moving into his next planned pose hoping to lure Keith over. How could he resist such an offer. Lance cheerfully started filling the tub up and slipped out of the bathrobe. Keith took longer to undress getting distracted from the view. No matter how many times he could see Lance naked he was always awestruck over how perfect he was.

"Come on, the water is perfect." Lance motioned him over before climbing in himself. Keith joined him and they two sighed in unison.

"I have to get me one of these." Keith sighed happily letting his body relax into the warm bubbly water.

"Mmmhhhmm" Lance agreed.

They soaked for a while before Keith warned them they should get out before turning into prunes. They both got dressed and ready so they could head to the academy. It was almost time for the list to be posted and they wanted to get their early so they could be one of the first to see it. They met up with Allura in the front of the school and headed inside. They were at the front edge of the large group everyone impatient for the piece of paper deciding their fate. Lance was telling Allura all of the stories from him and Keith's adventure yesterday seemingly calm in the moment. Everyone hushed seeing the same lady from the dinner gracefully walk down the stairs and walking towards them, a large white envelope in her hands. Everyone was silent as she walked up to the cork board and pulled out the piece of paper and thumb tacking it onto the board. As soon as she was clear the herd stampeded towards the paper so they could read it. Lance didn't move an inch, petrified.

"Lance come on" Kieth urged excited to know himself. Allura took his hand and pulled him towards the paper. Lance's eyes scanned the few names written in fancy cursive. Emily...Lotor...Sarah...Lance...Julia. Lance wouldn't have registered that his name was on the list if Allura wasn't practically flipping out. Even Keith was hooting and hollering but all Lance could see was the white paper getting blurry and out of focus and he realized he was crying. He had actually made it into the academy. He did it. He was tackled by the two friends and they all hugged tightly overly excited for him.

After the loud commotion died down the winners congratulated each other. Everyone seemed really nice to Lance but the other male who made it, Lotor, gave him the creeps. The way he looked at him made him feel like a bug under a microscope. He was going to be in his class so hopefully he wasn't actually an ass.

At the airport the three were saying their goodbyes and Allura was shamelessly crying telling how proud she was of him and so on. Lance just bashfully thanked her repeatedly and the two headed off to board waving a farewell.

"I'll see you soon!" She called after them waving furiously. Now that he had been officially accepted they had about a month to move to New York before he started classes. Life was about to get crazy for the two but Lance couldn't be happier, he had all he ever wanted and even a bonus hot boyfriend to share his adventures with.
