Keith knocked on the door to Pidge's house and waited for the door to open. He shivered in the chill of the afternoon. Despite it being sunny outside and not a cloud in the sky, the air and wind were still freezing cold. The door opened and Pidge smiled upon seeing the raven-haired teen on the other side.
"There you are! You're the last one we were waiting for," Pidge stepped aside and let Keith inside the warm house. Keith pulled off his boots, gloves, scarf, and hat and then hung up his winter coat on the coat rack.
"Sorry for taking so long, I had to help my mom hang the lights outside. Which took longer than expected," Keith said as he shook off the chill of being outside.
"Don't worry about it," Pidge said as she led Keith to the basement stairs. "Though we were all surprised when Lance appeared without you."
"He wanted to wait for me, but I told him to go on without me."
Once they reached the bottom of the stairs, everyone turned and smiles grew on their faces upon seeing the last of their group finally there. Shiro and Adam were on the loveseat, Hunk and Shay were on the other love seat, and Matt and Allura were on the beanbag chairs that were placed in front of the three seater couch.
Lance turned from where he had been talking to Hunk and a smile grew on his face. He pushed the purple fuzzy blanket he had been using back and motioned for Keith to come and sit beside him. Keith, still cold from the winter chill, happily climbed beside his boyfriend and was immediately covered with the blanket.
Pidge walked up to the stack of Christmas D.V.D's and turned to the group.
"So what do we want to watch first?" Pidge asked as she held up the stack of classic Christmas movies.
"Rudolph!" Lance yelled as he caught sight of the D.V.D case. Pidge rolled her eyes and pulled the case of out the stack.
"Anyone else have one they want?" Pidge asked to which the group shook their heads. Rudolph was a favourite of everyone. "Rudolph it is then."
Two hours later, the group had taken a break for dinner. Pidge and Matt's parents brought down three boxes of pizza, two bottles of Root Beer, cups and plates. Keith had somewhat started to fall asleep halfway through Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town and was still huddled in the purple fuzzy blanket.
"Keith," Lance said as he gently shook Keith awake. "Time to eat."
Keith let out a soft groan as he stretched and sat up just as Shiro was handing him a plate with a slice of cheese and Hawaiian pizza on it. As they ate, the group talked about their plans for the Christmas holidays. Shiro and Adam were staying with Keith and Krolia, mostly because Adams parents were too busy for them to visit them.
Hunk and Shay would be having dinner at Shay's families place on Christmas Eve and then spending Christmas Day with Hunk's family. Allura would be flying with her mother to visit her father where he was working.
Once they all finished eating, Pidge plugged in another move and the group resumed their marathon of movies.
It had gotten dark outside as it had gotten late since the group started watching movies in the afternoon. Shiro and Adam headed back to their apartment, Allura went back to her house, as did Hunk and Shay. Matt had headed upstairs to work on his homework that he had stalled on until now. Pidge and Lance were the only ones left awake, as Keith had fully fallen asleep.
Colleen headed downstairs and a smile grew on her face seeing the raven-haired teen curled up in Lance's side, covered with the blanket and asleep.
"I take it you boys will be spending the night?" Colleen asked as she started to pick up the plates and cups, Pidge picking up the empty pop bottles and pizza boxes.
"If you don't mind," Lance said as he brushed the bangs out of Keith's closed eyes.
"Already called both your parents," Colleen said as she started to head to the stairs with Pidge behind her. "I'll get Samuel to come and grab the spare mattress from the other room for you boys."
Lance smiled as Colleen headed upstairs with Pidge. A few moments later Samuel came downstairs and laid the queen sized mattress down for them. Colleen came down with some spare sheet and blankets and set the bed up while Pidge tossed down some pillows for them to use.
"Thank you Colleen," Lance said as he gently laid Keith down on the bed and covered him with the blanket.
'No problem, sleep tight," Colleen said with a smile. And no funny business."
As she headed upstairs, Colleen shut the basement lights off, except for the lamp in the corner of the room so it wasn't as dark for them. Lance crawled under the covers beside his boyfriend and smiled as he heard Keith's small snores.
"Who knew a movie marathon could make someone fall asleep?" Lance said with a smile as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
