Marriage Fit For A King {Klance AU}

XXI

Lance's POV

Today is the day. It was New Years Eve and instead of staying for the small 'party' Matt had put together, Keith and I were stood atop the large motel building, looking out on the city's lights as if they were stars in the nights own sky.

"It's absolutely gorgeous..." Keith breathed, taking a step closer to my side.

I looked over at him before replying, "It sure is." A small smile danced on my lips as he looked over at me.

I watched a slight coat of pink overtake his cheeks as he lightly smiled back. He took my hand in his and intertwined our fingers.

"I'm really glad you dragged me onto that plane." He chuckled.

"I'm glad I did too..." I sighed.

"Lance?"

"Yeah?"

"It's kind of hard to believe how quickly I fell for you..." He started to laugh.

"What ever do you mean? You fell for me the day I met you, remember? I caught you and everything."

"Shut up!" He continued to laugh.

"It's kinda hard to believe it's only been like a month..."

"It feels like I've known you my whole life."

"I know... That's kind of why I wanted to ask this now instead of later..." I took in a large breath, before grabbing both of his hands in mine and turning both of us so we're looking at each other. "Keith, I love you with all my heart, I couldn't imagine a life without you. I know this is really crazy, and I completely understand if you want to wait, but uh..." I got down onto one knee, and pulled the small black box from my pocket, "Will you marry me?"

"I thought you'd never ask." He smiled, pulling me to my feet.

As soon as I was standing he threw his arms around my neck and kissed me. I put my arms around his waist and pulled him closer to me, as our lips moved in sync.

He pulled away and I found myself getting lost in his eyes like I had so many times before.

"I love you." I spoke, with a smile.

"And I love you." He returned the smile before lightly pecking my lips.

I was still holding the box in one of my hands, so I pulled my arm back from around Keith and showed him the engagement ring that sat inside the box, I nodded and he took it from the box, slipping it onto the same finger our promise rings were on.

"I'll get a chain for them..." I chuckled, placing the box back into my pocket and wrapping my arm around Keith once more.

I pulled him as close to me as possible, our foreheads resting on each other.

The door to the roof suddenly burst open, "Did you ask him yet?" Pidge yelled.

I turned to look at her and Keith buried his face in the crook of my neck.

"Yes, Pidge..." I sighed, running my fingers through the ends of Keith's hair.

"And?" Matt asked, coming out from behind her.

With a sigh and a smile I grabbed Keith's hand in my own, intertwining our fingers and lifting his hand so they could see the ring. I slowly nodded my head before placing a kiss on the side of Keith's head.

"Great, now will you two love birds come down the the party? The pizza is getting cold." Matt chuckled before walking away, Pidge hot on his trail.
