WARNING: talk of smut and possible triggers

Chapter five

The next morning Keith awoke wrapped in Lance's embrace. The faint smell of motor oil and paint cover Lance's skin. Keith nuzzled into Lance's bare chest feeling better than he had in awhile. He had given his first time to Lance and thoroughly enjoyed it.

It definitely wasn't what he was planning on doing but for some strange reason he was glad he had. It felt right to wake up in these long tan arms. Keith nuzzled closer causing Lance to stir.

"Mmmm…..five more minutes…" Lance mumbled sleepily. Keith giggled.

"Yea but then we would miss breakfast." Keith teased kissing Lance. Lance's eyes shot open in surprise.

He gulped obviously nervous. "It…..uh….. wasn't a dream." Keith shook his head as he kissed Lance gently again.

Lance was in shock. He had thought it was an amazing dream that Keith had accepted him and they had made love. But to actually wake up with Keith in his arms made it all feel more real. Lance started crying. Did he really deserve this love Keith was offering? Could he handle a real relationship?

"Hey it's ok I'm here." Keith said concerned as he wiped away Lance's tears. Keith wasn't used to caring for someone but with Lance it was so natural.

Lance pulled Keith's hand away from his face. "Why? What did I do to deserve this? I'm disgusting and a slut." Lance averted his azure eyes away from Keith's concerned violets.

Keith stiffened. "Your not disgusting or a slut. You deserve love just like everyone else." Keith said evenly. He wasn't sure how to convince Lance that he was serious.

Lance looked back up at Keith. "Please don't lie to me. I know we had sex last night but I'm sure you just did it out of pity." Lance grumbled getting up and throwing on a pair of sweats.

Keith was always an emotional person even if he could hide it but Lance's words stung. He picked up the pillow beside him and started hitting Lance with it.

"What the- ? Ow that hurts stop!" Lance complained as he tried to block the pillow with his arms.

"THAT WAS MY FIRST TIME AND I GAVE IT TO YOU BECAUSE I WANTED TO NOT BECAUSE I PITIED YOU!!" Keith screamed at Lance choking on tears. Keith threw the pillow at Lance and hid under the covers.

Lance let the pillow hit him when it was thrown in shock from Keith's words. He looked down at the blanket covered lump on the bed. His mouth had gone dry. He had taken Keith's virginity. Damnit...no way in hell anyone gave that up out of pity.

Lance dropped his head into his hands groaning. "Your first time? Seriously? Why would you give me something so precious?"

Lance didn't receive an answer. After a moment or to Lance crawled back into the bed and pulled the covers down to show Keith's messy bed head. Lance turned the crying Keith towards him and held him close.

"I'm sorry…. It's just…. Haven't had anyone take me so seriously before. My ex thought it was nothing and I should just get over it. When you told me last night that I wasn't disgusting and it was never my fault… I felt so much love something I haven't felt in so long." Lance wiped away Keith's tears away.

"Lance… I'm not the type of person that flirts well or even at all. I'm blunt and rash and highly emotional." Keith whispered leaning into Lance. "Everything just comes naturally with you and it just feels right."

Lance felt his heart tug at those words. He wasn't sure if he felt the same as Keith but he wanted to. Keith was such an amazing person. Lance leaned down to kiss Keith as his bedroom door opened.

"So I have donuts and coffee for break-" Rolo cut off seeing a very red Keith hiding partly under blankets and lance giving him a annoyed glare. "Well. I'll just wait in the living room while you two finish…. Uh… whatever you two were doing." Rolo had the biggest grin ever as he walked out shutting the door behind him.

"I'm sorry Sunday I usually help Rolo out with his errands. I'm so sorry." Lance held his hand over his face in shame.

Keith was certainly surprised to see the barkeep in Lance's home. "Why is he here?" Keith asked in embarrassed shock.

Lance rubbed the back of his neck. "Rolo's my cousin. I'm not really sure how to explain this to him."

Keith looked over at Lance. "It's ok if you don't want to see me again that's fine...but I am interested in maybe starting a.. uh ... relationship with you?" Keith bit his lip and looked hopefully at Lance.

Lance's eyes widened as he processed the question. Keith wanted more than a one night stand and he wanted it with him, Lance McClain. He blushed as a small genuine smile crested his lips.

Lance licked his lips as he responded. "Yea I'd like to try. I'm broken but if you'll have me…" Lance leaned in and kissed Keith gently. They shared a sweet kiss that felt like forever. When they finally broke they were both starry eyed and panting.

Rolo walked into the kitchen and set the donuts and coffee on the marble island and opened the box. He definitely wasn't expecting to walk in on that. Nyma hadn't even gotten that far. After what happened with Lotor and Matt, no one was able to get that far with Lance.

Lance may have been more flirtatious and promiscuous but he hadn't actually taken anyone to bed. What had made him trust Keith enough to do that? Rolo decided to scrap most of his plans for the day and find out why Lance had let Keith in so quickly.

Lance crawled back out of bed and found another pair of sweats and boxers for Keith. It wasn't until Keith tried to stand up that he realized how much pain his lower back was in as he collapsed onto the floor. Lance rushed over to Keith just barely catching him.

"I'm sorry I should have been more gentle with you." Lance whimpered as he supported Keith.

"No I really enjoyed it last night. I didn't even feel any pain till just now. It was my first time." Keith blushed as he gained control over his legs.

It didn't hurt terribly but it was a strange sensation. Keith quickly put on Lance's spare sweats and oversized t-shirt and followed Lance out to see Rolo munching on a donut and scrolling through his phone.

Rolo looked up at them. "So who wants to tell me what happened?"
