Cinnamon Tea and Hot Chocolate

A/N: So, the last chapter was kind of angsty so to balance it out, this chapter will be kind of fluffy. Have fun enjoying the klance!

21st of December

"You sure you're up for this, you know, with everything that happened yesterday," Keith asked concerned, as he and Lance ventured out of Lance's dorm.

"Yeah, Keith, I'm sure. Pidge said she wanted to introduce us to someone important, which we both knows stand for Plaxum, so I'm not going to miss this. Now, remember that you promised me not to tell the others about yesterday,"

Lance shot Keith a quick look before continuing.

"I just want to forget yesterday ever happened and move on. Rolo and Nyma have already been kicked out, and I've filed a police report, there's nothing else we can do than try to have fun."

Keith nodded at Lance explanation, quickly changing the subject so Lance wouldn't get too uncomfortable. Keith had stayed with Lance, not leaving the boy alone for more than five minutes at a time. So if Lance wanted to go ice skating with his friends, Keith wasn't going to stop him.

"Keith, Lance! I'm so happy you could make it" Pidge exclaimed happily as she saw the boys walk up to the group, the last to come.

"Wouldn't miss it, Kit kat" Lance said with a smile and ruffled Pidge's hair lightly.

"You both knew I was dating Plaxum, right?" Pidge asked, giving a satisfied hum as the boys both nodded.

"Hey buddy, I haven't heard from you since yesterday. Everything alright?" Hunk asked as they were all taking on the loaned skates.

Lance flinched at the question, his eyes giving a quick flash of fear. Hunk didn't notice this as he was busy tieing his skate, but Keith, who was sitting next to them, saw and laid a comforting hand on Lance's shoulder. Lance looked stunned at Keith but relaxed nonetheless.

"Yeah, everything is just peachy. Keith and I were just having a movie marathon" Lance said, telling the partial truth quickly.

Lance and Keith had had a movie marathon, just after the whole Rolo thing. Hunk looked at Lance weirdly nonetheless, before looking at Keith who still held his hand on Lance's shoulder. Hunk raised his eyebrow at Lance, but the boy in question only smiled back innocently.

"Hey, Keith, could you… em… help me tie my skates, I just can't figure it out, I know it's stupid" Lance said embarrassed after trying and failing three times to tie his skates.

"Of course, it's no problem," Keith said with a smile and kneeled down beginning helping Lance.

The skating rink was outside and built to look like a real-life lake. It even had small paths that lead through a small forest. Though it was a famous rink, it wasn't all that stuffed as the rink was huge.

"Don't you dare let go of me" Lance practically screamed as he and Keith made their way around the ice, clinging Keith's hand tightly.

"Oh come on, Princy, I thought you were good at Ice Skating. Was that a lie?" Keith said with a smirk but kept holding onto Lance as his protective instinct told him to do so.

"Yes, were, it's been ages since I last skated, I completely forgot how terrifying it was," Lance said, looking displeased at Keith as the boy had started laughing at him.

"Then it's good your knight in shining armour is here to save you from falling," Keith said light-hearted, pulling Lance slightly closer.

As they skated longer, Lance gradually became more lose and showed off his skating skills to Keith. Though he slid in front of the boy a few times, he always came back and held hands with Keith again.

"Hey, do you want to try one of the paths?" Lance asked, turning his face to hide the faint blush that covered his cheeks.

"Yeah, that sounds great," Keith said, trying to hide how happy he was that Lance asked him.

It wasn't anything special, not really, more like a warm feeling of being important. Keith almost couldn't contain his smile, as they started to make their way down the most remote of the paths.

The silence filled more as the screams and noise from the other ice skaters died down. It wasn't a bad silence, though, it was, on the other hand, oddly comfortable. The sound of their skates connecting with the ice, the muffled sounds of people on the main lake and the whistle of the wind was all the sounds around them.

"I just wanted, to eh, apologise one more time for looking at your phone, it was a jerk move. I cleared it up with Plaxum, and I just assumed so many things, and they were all wrong" Keith said, almost afraid to break the silence, especially with what he had said.

"Yeah, I am still a bit angry about that, but I can forgive it, you did save me from Rolo," Lance said, slapping Keith lightly on the shoulder.

"You say that, but I still feel bad about it. Are sure there's nothing I could do to make up for it?" Keith asked, stopping skating to look Lance in the eyes.

Lance stopped to look at Keith too, about to say the boy shouldn't worry about it but stopped himself. Lance saw an opportunity, one he couldn't let slip.

"I have maybe one thing in mind," Lance said with a smug.

"Anything!" Keith exclaimed, excited to make up for his mistake.

"Kiss me."

Keith almost fell over in surprise, looking at Lance baffled. Was this guy serious? Keith felt his face heat up as Lance's request slowly sunk in more. Not able to think straight – as if he ever was – Keith thought it was a good idea to make a joke.

"That sound familiar."

Keith regretted saying that the moment that the words left his mouth, glancing away from Lance. He didn't look up from the ice until he heard Lance chuckle lightly, at the moment they made eye contact again Lance only laughed harder.

"It does, doesn't it? Sorry about that, though I still want that kiss" Lance said with an innocent smile, a smile that made Keith all warm and fuzzy inside.

"Then a kiss you shall have," Keith said after gathering his thoughts enough to actually take the initiative.

Keith leaned closer to Lance as he finished talking, placing his hand gently on Lance's cheek. Unlike their last kiss, Keith enjoyed the moment just before his lips met Lance's. The excitement of getting to finally feel Lance's lips again ran as chills down his back, no pressure, just them and the ice.

Keith closed the distance between them, letting their lips touch. The kiss started out sweet and soft but quickly turned deeper and more hungry. Lance's hand was placed firmly in Keith's hair, twirling stray locks of it. The hand Keith had had on Lance's cheek stayed there, only pulling Lance closer or caressing Lance's cheek. Keith's other hand had moved down to Lance's hip, keeping it there for some weird protective instinct.

As they stood there kissing, nothing else seemed to matter, only they existed. They only pulled apart a few times to get a fresh breath of air, but quickly smashed their lips together again. Their teeth clicked as they moved in a rapid, but oddly synchronised, rhyme.

When they finally pulled apart for the last time, they were both completely out of breath. Their cheeks were scarlet red from both blushing and the warmth they had gotten from making out. Keith tried to take a step back but had forgotten that he was still on eyes wearing ice skates, so he fell.

"Are you okay, Keith?" Lance asked, reaching a hand out to Keith, who was laughing hard.

"I am now," Keith said with a big dumb grin, bigger than Lance had ever seen Keith smile before, and took Lance's offered hand.

A/N: Did I just give y'all a Klance kiss? Yes, yes, I did. Now go be happy and fear tomorrows chapter!
