22: "Curse my short arms!"

Lance's POV:

Lance wanted to pull away. He wanted to push Keith back, run from the hospital, and hide. Hide from everyone. But he found himself melting into the kiss. He found his hand tangling in Keith's hair, tugging gently at his ponytail holder, slowly releasing it. The kiss was warm, full of passion, and genuine love. Which had proved hard to find in this generation. Keith's arms wrapped around his neck, and then they pulled away, panting, their foreheads pressed together. Lance was able to see Keith's hair as it came out of the ponytail....to reveal a mullet, shoulder-length, and soft, as if he'd taken a shower a little while ago. Lance had been right earlier!

Keith's POV:

Keith didn't care that his mullet was exposed. He didn't care that he still had his arms around Lance's neck. Or that Lance's hand was playing with his hair. He liked it. He was still panting for air when Lance said, "Keith....I think I'm in love with you." He just smirked. He'd known for a little while. But it still surprised him. How could anyone, espically someone like Lance, love Keith Kogane? Or even like him as a friend, like Pidge did, as well as Hunk? It didn't make any sense. But his only reply was: "I think....I think I am too." Then, someone cleared their throat at the door, and the two boys broke apart, embarrassed that someone might've saw them. But when he turned to the door, it was just Shiro--Wait, how had he known where Keith was? And....why was he smiling? "Don't panick, I won't say anything. And I support both of you."
