The first thing Keith noticed was the steam. There were three large humidifiers and four space heaters.

Keith wiped his brow. "What's going on?"

When Lance saw Allura and Keith, his face lit up and he bounded toward them. "Allura!" he said, and gave her a sweaty hug.

"Hey! Lance, are we doing hot yoga today?"

He nodded. "I wanted to try something different! Are you excited or what?"

Keith pushed his way into the conversation. "I'm here too. And what might hot yoga be?"

"We're doing the entire session in 90 degree heat. Oh, wait, I totally forgot you're new to this whole yoga thing! Maybe you should come back next week?"

"What? Are you implying that I can't do hot yoga? I can totally do hot yoga! Yeah!"

Keith Kogane didn't know many things about getting boys to like him, but he was pretty sure that chickening out of hot yoga wasn't the way.

"Alright!" Lance said, looking mildly impressed. Keith mentally gave himself a pat on the back.

He went to go put his yoga mat down near the side, but Allura shook her head. "Near the front! You're gonna be on display!"

"Whatever."

An hour later, Keith was pretty sure that he must have impressed Lance, because that class was basically hell.

At the end, during savanna, Lance came around to rub lavender oil into everyone's shoulders.

Keith could feel Lance standing over him. It was like a pressure over his closed eyelids. When Lance leaned down to rub the oil into Keith's shoulders, Keith bit his lip. He stifled the desire to moan.

The class ended with the chimes and everyone mumbling "namaste."

Keith shuffled upwards and began to roll his yoga mat. He glanced over at Allura. "I'm gonna rinse off, I just need five minutes."

She nodded. "You go, I'll take care of your mat."

Keith opened the locker room door and bumped into Lance. "Oh, hey man."

Usually, Keith would have been socially awkward and annoying, but he was so exhausted that he didn't have the energy to stress.

"Hey, Keith. Good job today!"

Lance patted Keith on the back and went to walk out the door. At the last moment he stopped.

"Keith?"

Keith spun back around. That looked bad, he thought to himself.

"Yeah?"

"That was pretty impressive. What you did, I mean, especially since you're new at this. Maybe someday you'll be almost as good as me!"

Lance winked and shut the door.

Keith stared in the mirror, and collapsed on the counter. "What does that even mean?!"
