The boys walked quietly back home after their long day. It was dusk and Lance was surprisingly still full of energy. He definitely had his endurance up now.

"Can I make dinner tonight?" Lance asked as they made their way up the hill. "I found a new recipe I want to try" Keith smiled and nodded. Lane's cooking skills had increased tremendously so he was excited to try it. Lance grinned and practically skipped the rest of the way and into the cabin

Keith went into the room to work on his blog while listening to dishes clank softly and pans frying in the kitchen. He heard Lance turn on some music as he prepared their supper. Once he finished his blog he came out seeing lance dance around the kitchen to the music, whisking something in a bowl. He even had a cute little apron on. Keith smirked and just watched him move. Lance spun around finally noticing Keith watching and held his hands out for Keith to join him.

"I don't really dance.." Keith started but Lance's look made him cave in. Keith came up as Lance twirled around him stirring some things in the pan. It smelled great so far and Keith was impressed. Keith watched the boy move around him and felt he may be teasing him at this point as he let his hands run along Keith's chest softly often.

"Dance with me" He said taking Keith's hands. Keith smiled as he was pulled into Lance who wrapped his arms around Keith's neck. He couldn't drag his eyes away as Lance moved with the music, his body sinking against his body causing a little too much friction. Lance wasn't aware of the provocative dancing, he was just feeling the music. Keith pushed him off a bit feeling his body start to react not wanting to freak him out. Calm down Keith. Calm down.. Keith wiggled his shoulders trying his best to play it off as dancing. Lance shimmied back to the stove flipping the contents in the pan. Keith took the small break to take a walk and will his heart race..among other things.. to go down. Lance's innocence about the whole thing was what drove Keith crazy. He must know what he does drives him crazy,he had too. Keith came back to see Lance dishing up two plates with an array of grilled vegetables, red potatoes, and a steak that seemed cooked to perfection. Keith raised a surprised eyebrow with how good the food looked.

"Lance, this looks amazing!" He exclaimed sitting at the table before Lance sat his plate down in font of him. Lance grabbed two glasses and filled them with some wine Keith had. Once Lance was seated they both dug into the food. They ate in a comfortable silence both enjoying the food too much to stop and chat. Lance finished first and started washing the dishes humming to himself softly. Keith shoveled the last bite of potato into his mouth enjoying the buttery garlicy flavor. This kid could cook now.

"Where did you find the recipe for that? It was really good" Keith said coming up behind him and rinsing his dish.

"A guy named Gordan Ramsey" Lance replied with a smile glad he had enjoyed his meal.

"Well you can cook dinner every night from now on" He smiled seeing Lance's face light up at that.

The two boys decided to break out some board games after dinner was cleaned up. They decided on Monopoly since Lance could use the practice counting change. He was smart when it came to math luckily and had quite the knowledge. Maybe there was merschools down there. The game was about half through and Lance's eyelids were getting heavy. He yawned a bit and Keith offered to pause the game and resume in the morning. Lance agreed amd Keith helped him up and half carried the sleepy boy to the room. Lance fell into the bed pulling Keith down with him. Keith let out a surprised cry as he toppled over the boy who was now staring up at him. Keith could feel his skin prickle as he reddened at the position. It had been am accident, right? Lance let a finger trace Keith's jawline softly and Keith put his hand over Lance's stopping it.

"What are you doing?" He asked quietly and Lance just smiled.

"You have a really pretty face. " He replied simply. He hadn't seen anything wrong with touching him but maybe he crossed a line. "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you weirded out." He apologized.

"Don't worry about it, I just didn't want you to have feelings for me" Lance's smile faltered a bit.

"Why?" Keith wasn't sure how to answer or why Lance cared.

"It's just.. not right. I mean, if you did have feelings they wouldn't be real. I'm the only one you've met here and you could mix the feelings up and it wouldn't be fair to you if I returned those feelings because you haven't met anyone else to know if those feelings are real. "

"Oh" Lance said falling quiet. He wasn't sure why he was so upset over that. Yeah he cared for Keith but he never thought it was more then just friends. Maybe he had started liking Keith more then friends and hadn't realized it because he wouldn't be so saddened by that if he didn't care. Keith rolled off Lance and got into bed before turning hi back to Lance and snuggling in for sleep. He had to get the look of disappointment on Lance's face out of his head. Had he actually caught Lance having feelings for him? He was so confused but felt he did the right thing by turning him down. It wouldn't be fair if he took Lance's vulnerability to get a boyfriend. He did the right thing.
