Cinnamon Tea and Hot Chocolate
A/N: I know I said fear this chapter, but it's honestæy pretty chill and fluffy and Christmasy, have fun reading
22nd of December
Lance woke up, feeling the Christmas spirit spread in his bones. The more he woke up, he started to sense the room and the arms wrapped around him.
Keith.
Just thinking about the raven-haired boy got a smile on Lance's face. Last night Lance and Keith had decorated Lance's dorm room, and had even gotten a little Christmas tree, they must have fallen asleep while watching a Christmas movie.
"Hey, Keith, it's time to wake up," Lance said sweetly as he turned to face Keith.
Keith growled something unintelligible and scrunched his face.
"Come on, Keefy, I want to make Christmas cookies," Lance said and kissed Keith's nose, making half-asleep boy hum happily.
"If this is how I'll be woken up then I will sleepover every night," Keith said after Lance continued to kiss him.
"Morning, handsome" Keith hummed as he finally opened his eyes, giving Lance a sloppy kiss on the lips.
"Good Morning to you too, hot stuff," Lance said, kissing Keith back.
They laid their giving each other kisses for a while before they got out of bed.
"So Christmas cookies? Are you sure? You don't really have a private kitchen" Keith said with a smile as he looked around Lance dorm room.
"Oh shoot, you're right, guess we'll have to go to your apartment," Lance said, trying to fake disappointment, but failed miserably.
"I guess we could do that, do you want that?" Keith said, leaning over to Lance, but stopped right before their lips touch.
Lance nodded at Keith's question and closed the distance between them. They stood like that, kissing each other lovingly for a moment before Lance pulled away from Keith with a smile.
"Let's go then, samurai."
Keith shook his head at the nickname, but took his jacket and walked with Lance to his apartment.
"Welcome to my home," Keith said, pushing the door open with his back as his hands were filled with bags of ingredients.
They had stopped to buy stuff to bake as Keith didn't have anything in his kitchen. Lance smiled at Keith fondly offering to take at least some of the bags, but Keith just looked him dead in the eyes and shook his head.
"Your knight in shining armour will take care of everything," Keith said, with a sweet smile.
They made their way to the kitchen and started baking. As they cooked, they kept throwing flour at each other, stealing kisses and give surprise hugs. They couldn't contain their laughter as the doe slowly came together, almost ready to go in the oven.
The cookies were chocolate chips cinnamon cookies, a weird mix but oddly delicious. The first batch in the oven got a little burned, maybe a little more than a little. But that only made the boys laugh more.
When they were finished, they had ten dozen cookies and nothing to do with them other than eat them while watching something. Halfway through the movie they were watching, Lance started to shake.
"Hey, Lance, everything okay?" Keith asked, concerned, looking at Lance with worry painted all over his face.
"I… I don't know, I just…" Lance said, looking back at Keith, now with tears filled in his eyes.
"It's okay, if your not fine, it's okay," Keith said, pausing the movie as he looked at Lance fiercely.
"I just remembered Rolo, and this started," Lance said frustrated, his eyes flowing over and voice breaking when he mentioned Rolo.
"That's okay, Lance, it's a normal reaction for what he and that bitch put you through," Keith said softly, his hand reaching out to Lance but he stopped himself, unsure if it could make Lance worse.
"How can you say that, Keith? I'm sitting here crying my eyes out for no FUCKING REASON, how can that be normal?" Lance sobbed angrily.
"I'm sorry, Lance, I don't know, but it is. I can't begin to understand how you feel, but I'll try, and I'll be here always. It's okay to feel down, it's okay to feel shitty, especially after Rolo, but even without that, it would still be okay. Lance, I'll have your back and be ready to catch you, I always will" Keith's voice was as sincere as it could be, and he looked at Lance with deep determination.
"Thank you, Keith. Thank you so much" Lance said, tears still running down his cheeks but jumped into Keith's arms.
Keith, surprised by Lance's sudden move, hugged the sobbing boy without much protest. Lance cried hard against Keith, letting everything out. Keith just sat and held him, letting Lance do what he needed to.
A/N: Well I lied a little, Lance did have a panic attack after all, but who could blame him, he did get kissed against his will unable to get away. Keith is there for his boy, and always will be. Also, fun fact I was just about to get Lance to say 'I love you' to Keith but though that he wasn't ready just yet. Also, I have a fun fact about me, I do believe in young love and love at first sight, but I don't believe everything will be just fine after that, every love needs hard work from both of the people in it for the love to work out. (Yes I believe young love to work, my mom and dad are still together, and happy, and they met then they were 16 and 17)
