A/N: So here is the second chapter. I felt great to start writing this up since my au has been swirling in my head for a while, again I hope you enjoy and if I could I would make Lance my spirit animal. Random I know.

Keith

Today is the first day of classes. Finally, after leaving my retched place of a hometown I can have a fresh start here in Butt Fuck Nowhere, but hey this town has its own little quirks like any other small town. Like they're known for having a boat and during the fall a lot of Asian couples come to see the aurora borealis. Don't know why and I don't really care.

The secondary school is small with only a student body of about two hundred and fifty. Because of the tight knit friend groups, it felt even smaller. The Vice Principle greets me at the entrance explaining how they usually don't get very many transfer students in the middle of the year, yada yada yada. He leads me through the school pointing out certain things like my classrooms and the cafeteria, but I don't pay much attention to him as I quickly look down the hallways for a certain brown head of hair. My mind has been spinning all weekend thinking about the conversation we had before, thinking of new ways to answer him, ways I could have flirted back, or how I could have easily climbed over the counter and grabbed his face to kis-

"Mr. Kogane, this is your homeroom," the man says to me. I jump a bit in embarrassment but I nod and reach for the door. I feel the doorknob turn in my hand and I quickly take a step back before I get hit by the door. I try to take another step back but I lose my balance after having the door nearly hit my face. I feel my head hit the Vice Principe's chest as the mystery student grabs at my bicep so I don't keep falling. I correct my balance as I turn to the them to apologize but I'm interrupted by a familiar voice. "So you're the rumored transfer student, eh" Lance says as he takes my hand. I look up shocked as I try to steel myself before saying anything stupid in front of him. I grab the arm he had held for only a moment and say in a low voice, "Is it really that rare to get transfer students?" The two make eye contact and crack a smile before saying "Yea." Wow, they seem really close.

"Anyways I'll be back when class starts," Lance says with a wave to the both of us. He's already halfway down the hallway before the Vice Principle sighs and says, "Class already started." He doesn't direct this to anyone but when he looks to me he gives me a sheepish smile like he forgot that I was there. "Anyways if you need anything come to my office. My name is Mr. McClain by the way. If you… forgot." He says awkwardly as he scratches the back of his neck. Oh. They do the same thing when the feel awkward. I smile at this thought and nod to him before entering the classroom.

"Keith, right?" A young and very pregnant woman says to me as I scan the classroom.

"Uhh… Yea." I say shyly as I try not to break eye contact with her. "Where should I sit?"

"Oh there is only one spot available for you," She says as she nods to two empty seats. As I walk over to them I try to discern which one is mine. A boy leans over from the row beside me and nods toward the one farthest to me. "That one is yours." I mumble a thanks to him as I slide into it. "I'm Hunk by the way," he says happily as he reaches out to me for a hand shake. I take it with no hesitation and my hand is swallowed by his. My God, is his hands are huge. "I'm Keith, but you probably already knew that," I say before I realize that it sounds very snarky. He laughs at this and nods in agreement, "Yea the girls won't shut up about you." I look at him confused and say, "Girls?"

"Oh yea, they can't wait to meet you to get something more "exotic"." He says sarcastically, "You know something that's not homegrown." I take a moment to process before I realize what he was hinting at. "Oh, you mean just because I'm from somewhere else that means I'm more desirable?" I say as I take a look around at the other students. I see some of them taking glances at me while a few of them are blatantly staring. "Yea man, if you want it in more of a technical form."

"Now class please take your seats and where did Lance go?" the teacher says to the whole class but it's clearly directed at Hunk. I jump a little at his name but it looks like no one noticed. "Ahhh… He went to the bathroom," Hunk says hesitantly which makes it an obvious lie. The teacher stares him down for a few seconds before giving up with a sigh. "Okay than can Keith come and introduce himself to the class," the teacher says while beckoning me to come to the front.

I make it to the front and take another glance at my new classmates. I take a deep breath and recite the introduction I had been practicing all morning, "Well my name is Keith. My favorite color is red and my hobbies are racing and-." I stop when I hear the click of the door on my left. I glance over to see Keith try to sneak in without notice but my sudden silence has drawn all the attention to him. Lance stands up straight against the wall while he tries to usher all the attention back to me. "Don't worry about me, you can keep on going."

I quickly look back to the class before they can notice that I was checking Lance out. "My other hobby is Aikido. I am currently a green belt." I nod my head down a bit before I walk to my seat. I quickly look towards Lance to see him waring a worried look. He must have noticed me looking at him because he looks up and makes eye contact with me for a split second. Oh, God has he figured out that I like him?

Lance

I enter class a few minutes early for a change and as I'm chatting with my best friend Hunk I get a text from an unknown number.

1-867-624-****

Hey Lance its Trevor. Can u meet me in the 2nd floor bathroom asap.

I look at the text hesitantly while I weigh my options. It sounds like more of a demand than a question in my opinion. Hunk can sense what I'm thinking about and he says, "Don't worry man, I'll cover you." I stand and grab his shoulder as I thank him, but before I can even leave the class I hit a road block, almost literally. It seems like opening the door had tripped up the person on the other side leading him to fall backwards. I quickly grab for his arm as he falls into the person behind him. He straightens himself away from the man before slouching back down. Oh, I recognize this guy. "So, you're the rumored transfer student, eh," I say as I look towards the man beside the new guy. The Vice Principle directs me with his eyes to shake Keith's hand. I shake it casually before I let go. He looks up to the two of us before saying, "Is it really that rare to get transfer students?" Keith looks almost pissed about this but when I look to my brother-in-law all I can do is smile and say yes.

I quickly say, "Anyways I'll be back when class starts," before they can stop me and I'm speed walking to the stairs. When I finally make it to the meeting place I see Trevor pacing in front of the stalls. Trevor hasn't noticed me enter so I take the chance to check him out. Trevor is tall with a lean back that makes Lance go crazy with hormones and his frosted tips surprisingly look good on him. Trevor looks up suddenly and drags me into a stall. Wow when did Trevor get so daring. Trevor grabs my shoulders and looks deep into my eyes. "Did Becky see you come here?" he asks eagerly.

"Ah no. Why do you ask?" I respond a little confused at the changed mood. He lets go of me with a relieved sigh. "Because she thinks I'm at home right now crying my eyes out." I look at him even more confused now. "She thinks me and my internet boyfriend broke up, okay? I'm not supposed to be at school right now but I need your help."

"Help with what?" I ask as I try to figure out the situation. "Well to be honest here, I was never gay to begin with. The real reason I lied was so I could have a chance with Becky," he says while twiddling his thumbs.

"Why would you lie about being gay to get with a girl?" I ask a little offended. He looks up like I just told him how to solve the millennium puzzle. "Well here is the thing with gay guys, girls trust them without a doubt because they think that they won't get hit on and they're not attracted to their bodies. If I have all of her trust and then I tell her that I'm bi than she won't feel as awkward or turned off by me. This is where you come in vouching for me saying we had a long conversation about my sexuality and once she shows her acceptance of the "new me" I'll spring the whole "I think I like you" spiel to her a week later." He rants for so long he starts to lose his breath near the end of it. He must have had this plan for quite a while if he's been plotting this since he "came out". "So, what do you think? Great idea, right?" He says excitedly while I lean back discussed. "I don't know. I don't really want to lie to Becky." That's a lie I just don't want to listen to you anymore. I think to myself angrily. I turn towards the stall door to leave but Trevor's arm suddenly blocks my way.

"Wait I've got a great deal for you." Trevor says smugly sounding like a cars salesman. "What if once me and Becky are together we have a threesome with you. Though honestly I've always wanted to have one with two girls but I'll make an exception for you helping me." Make an exception? How can you be making such shallow promises when you've never told Becky a single truth?

"No Trevor I'm not interested in being in your little fantasy master plan or in a threesome with you. Now can I leave or will you make another exception for me instead?" I duck under his arm and leave the stall before he can stop me. As I'm walking back to my class I block Trevor's number.

When I make it back to the class door I stand there hesitantly. As I look through the small window in the door I notice Keith walk to the front and I can hear him quietly speak through the door. I quickly try to slide through the doorway without notice but when I look up I see everyone looking at me. I especially notice Keith glaring at me from the front. "Don't worry about me, you can keep on going," I say sheepishly. Keith continues with his introduction and then walked towards me when I'm in my desk. He sends me another hateful glance and takes his seat in the desk behind me. What's his problem? It's not like I kicked his puppy. I feel Keith's stare on the back of my head for the rest of class.

I try to distract myself for the rest of the day but the conversation I had with Trevor keeps replaying in my head. I shouldn't have come out all a few years ago, and made it so public. I feel like going home and balling my eyes out for the next week. Just this whole situation happening around me right now has made me super depressed. At the end of the school day I ask Hunk to come over for a bit of emotional support. After we stopped at the store for ice cream I cried over the pail on my bed. I explained to Hunk what had happened with Trevor and all of my insecurities with my sexuality and school.

"Sometimes I regret coming out even though I have such an excepting family and friends who see past my sexuality and see me for me, but I find it so hard to except myself when no one will date me. I feel like I'm missing something but I don't know what. I feel like I'll just live alone for the rest of my life." I cry-rant like this while shoving large spoonful's of liquidy ice cream into my mouth. Hunk is beside me on the bed rubbing my back as he tries to catch the falling droplets with a napkin.

"Who knows Lance maybe you haven't found your fated someone yet. Maybe they're too shy to talk to guys or they're afraid of coming out. If you just keep at it with a smile on your face I'm sure they will fall in love with you at first sight," Hunk says with a wide grin as he tries to pry the empty pail out of my grasp. "Maybe they're right in front of you and you don't even know it yet."

A/N: Ahhhhhh! See what I did there? Lance doesn't even know that Keith is in love with him and Keith just met Lance's brother-in-law. I didn't mean to make him a "main" character in the beginning but while lying awake at night I thought of how I could make him an important factor in Lance and Keith getting together. Still thinking about if I'm going to add smut in the story or not since I've never written smut. There will be a lot of fluff though since I'm a hopeless romantic at heart. I'm also plan on having them eventually graduate and get together. When that happens, I'll divulge into other characters P.O.V. and build on the team getting together as colleagues and other relationships starting so I'm sorry if you came here to see other ships other than Klance 'cause that will take a while, also trying to figure out how often I should update 'cause I'm still in school and I'm terrible with deadlines. It'll be a bit shakey at first but I'll get it down once I feel more pressure on uploading the story.

Thanks for reading and I hope to upload the next chapter in two to three weeks.

Here's a link to my personal Tumblr if you have and questions or art requests 'cause I do that. *shrugs* -
