"Lance admit it, we're lost," Keith said as he adjusted his red scarf that was tied around his neck.
"We're not lost, we're just…" Lance trailed off with a frown as he glanced around and realized they were lost.
"Lost," Keith finished as he sat down on a nearby bench with a sigh. They were supposed to have met their friends for the Christmas tree lighting that the city puts on every year. This was one of the few years that their whole friend group was able to be together at once. Now they were going to miss it. "I told you we should have just taken a cab down there."
Lance bit his lip as he watched Keith shove his hands in his coat pockets. He really felt guilty this time. The tree lighting would be starting any minute and they were going to miss it, all because Lance wanted to walk down instead of carpooling with one of their friends or just taking a cab down.
Lance sighed and shoved his hands in his pockets, regretting not bringing a pair of gloves to wear. He was going to sit next to Keith when he caught a whiff of something familiar. Lance turned around and a smile grew on his face. Taking a quick glance at Keith, who was still sitting on the bench with a frown, Lance walked away, digging into his jeans back pocket for his wallet.
Keith sighed as he checked his phone and saw the time. By now the tree would have already been lighted and everyone had headed off back home or heading off to Christmas parties. Upon a shadow being cast over him, Keith glanced up to find Lance in front of him. Lance had a soft smile on his face, in his hands were two medium coffee cups with a steaming liquid inside.
"What's this?" Keith asked as he took off his gloves, and shoved his phone and gloves into his pocket. Lance handed him the hot cup and sat next to him on the freezing cold wooden bench.
"This is my way of saying I'm sorry," Lance said with a sigh as he turned and stared into Keith's eyes. "I'm sorry for not deciding to call for a rise, I'm sorry for getting us lost, I'm sorry that we missed the tree lighting and missed seeing our friends," Keith rolled his eyes as Lance rambled on. "I'm sorry for-" before Lance could continue, Keith connected their lips in a soft kiss.
"You ramble a lot," Keith said with a smile as they separated. "You don't have to keep apologizing to me."
"But I-"
"Seriously, stop apologizing," Keith said with a soft chuckle. "As long as I have you, nothing else matters," Lance smiled and raised his cup of hot chocolate.
"To us then," Lance said with a smile.
"To us," Keith said as he raised his cup and they toasted their cups and took a sip, leaning against each other and enjoying each others warmth and company.
