Keith woke up to someone gently shaking his shoulder. He opened his eyes and was surprised to find his boyfriend Lance kneeling in front of his bed. Keith jumped back and his back hit the wall beside his bed.
"Lance!?" Keith exclaimed as Lance gave him a smile. "What are you doing here?" Keith asked as Lance climbed onto his bed. "Did my mom let you in?"
"Yes she did," Lance said with a smile. "But I have a surprise for you," Lance said as he pulled out a box wrapped in red wrapping paper and tied with a red ribbon. Lance handed him to box and Keith gave him a confused look.
"It's not Christmas yet is it?" Keith asked as he tilted his head. Lance chuckled and shook his head.
"No, it's not. But I thought I'd give you an early couple gift."
"Couple gift?" Keith asked in confusion as he stared at the box in his lap. Lance nodded and pulled out a similar box. This one was wrapped in blue wrapping paper and tied with a white ribbon.
"Open it," Lance said as he gestured to the box. "Open yours and I'll open mine."
Keith rolled his eyes and untied the white ribbon He then started to rip off the wrapping paper and tossing it beside him. Under the wrapping paper was a cardboard box. Keith opened the box and pulled out what was inside.
"Really?" Keith said with a raised eyebrow. Inside the box was a red Christmas sweater with white snowflakes and a white reindeer on the front and back. Lance nodded and opened his box. He then pulled out a matching sweater, but his was blue and white.
"I told you it was a couple gift!" Lance exclaimed as he pulled on his sweater over his shirt. "Now put yours on," Lance said as he stood up off the bed. Keith rolled his eyes and sighed but seeing Lance's puppy dog eyes, he pulled the sweater over his black t-shirt.
"There, happy now?" Keith asked to which Lance nodded.
"Very, now let's go," Lance said as he started to walk to the door.
"Go? Go where?" Keith asked as he pulled on a pair of black socks.
"Well, Pidge caught onto my couple gift idea and bought everyone similar sweaters so we can take a group picture before everyone gets to busy for the Christmas holidays."
"I hate having my picture taken though," Keith groaned as he grabbed his phone and shoved it into his jean pocket. Lance smiled and grabbed his wrist and dragged him to his feet and down the stairs.
"Well suck it up buttercup," Lance said as he pulled on his boots. It was at this moment that Krolia was on her way to the living room when she caught sight of Keith and Lance.
"Aww, Lance got you both matching Christmas sweaters," Krolia said as she smiled at the sweaters. "Let me get my camera before you both leave," Krolia said as he headed upstairs to grab her camera.
"Kill me now," Keith groaned as he pulled his boots on and leaned against the wall. Krolia headed back downstairs and Lance pulled Keith into his arms, wrapping an arm around his waist and the other staying still be his side.
"Smile and say "cheese" for me," Krolia said as she held up her camera. Keith sighed but forced a smile as Lance held him closer. Maybe the sweaters weren't such a bad thing after all.
