-The day Lance leaves-
"I cannot believe you didn't tell him," Pidge punches Keith's arm. "It's not even gonna happen, it's just a silly crush," Keith says rolling his eyes. "What are you two talking about?" Lance says, leaning against a wall. "Nothing!" Keith says, smiling awkwardly. Lance raises an eyebrow and shrugs. "My plane should be called soon, so yeah," Lance adds.
"Oh, because Hunk had to leave too, he wanted me to say that he packed you homemade cheesecake and garlic knots!" Pidge informs, handing Lance a container. "Nice! I can't wait to see you all again, you too Keith," Lance says jokingly before sending Keith a wink. Keith blushes and turns around, crossing his arms.
They heard Lance's plane being called and Lance smiles before waving. "Bye guys!" Lance says. He hugs everyone and stops when he sees Keith. Then he continues by hugging him, Keith couldn't help but notice the sweet smell of Lance's hair.
"Did you just smell my hair?" Lance says and moves away.
"Oh uh no, allergies," Keith lies, and fake sniffles. Lance smirks and walks away.
Pidge smirks and elbows Keith and says, "Allergies huh?" Keith's face heats up and he crosses his arms. "I didn't need him thinking I smelled his hair, got it?" Keith says. Pidge laughs. "Come on Keith, lets get out of here," Everyone exits the building and returns to their homes.

Hours later

Lance: Keith!Keith: What
Lance: FT?
Keith: Um it's pretty late, don't you think?
Lance: Are you going to sleep?
Keith: I mean, I'm lying in bed and my hair looks awful.
Lance: Cmon
Keith: Fine

Everything is Blue-Beep!
Keith answers the phone and leaves the camera facing the ceiling on his pillow beside him.
"Hey Keith!" Lance says cheerfully."Hey Lance," Keith says, more tired.
"I'm so stoked for the concert!" Lance says with excitement.
Keith smiles and laughs a little, "Yeah."
There's this moment of silence, but it's kind of comforting. Keith can feel his heart pounding, and he can't stop smiling. He really has it bad for Lance.
"Lance, do you...like anyone, right now?" Keith asked, breaking the silence. He hadn't realized what he asked until he heard Lance chuckle. Keith felt his face grow warm.
"I'm sorry, that's weird," Keith said quickly.
Lance laughs, "Well actually, yes,"
Keith feels himself getting nervous, but he also senses jealousy.
"What um do they look like?" Keith asks.
Lance smirks and his voice is quiet and soft, "Well, they have black hair, pretty difficult to deal with, but their eyes are like the night sky or the galaxy. Even when they cry, it's beautiful, like a storm in their eyes."
Keith's heart jumps and his whole face is red.
"L..Lance, is...is that...me?" Keith asks shyly.
"Possibly...why don't you tell me about your person," Lance says teasingly.
"W..well, he's kind of um..cocky. His eyes are blue, and yeah..," Keith says nervously.
Lance laughs and then quiets down, his voice getting softer.
"Keith...d..do you like...me?" Lance asks. Lance's heart felt like it would escape his chest and his smile took up his whole face.
