Make Me Beautiful..Darlin You Already Are: Ch. 2 (Klance fic)
Hello hello everyone! Here is the second chapter to my Youtuber fic. It is also written for Klance AU Month :) If you haven’t read the first half you can find it here . Happy reading!
“Shiro PLEASE don’t make me go to this stupid thing.” Keith muffled into his pillow. He really didn’t want to leave the comfort of his own bed.
“Keith.” Shiro used The Tone. The one Keith knew that if he looked up from his pillow sanctuary that he’d see Shiro giving him puppy eyes. He peeked out from under the pillow, yep, there they were. Shit, he shouldn’t have done that.
Shiro started to make a low whining sound, like a sad puppy. “NO Shiro.” Keith tried to ignore his whimpers but ultimately knew it was no use. Once Shiro turned his puppy face on him he’d ultimately cave into whatever it was Shiro was asking of him.
“Keith, it’s just one party.”
“It’s a FRAT party Shiro.”
“Plllleeeeeeeaaassseeeee.”
“Ugh, why do I even have to go? I’m not going to know anyone.”
“You’ll know me and Adam.”
“You two don’t count, especially after you’ve been drinking. You’ll run off to go make out and leave me all alone.”
“Keith, you’ve been cooped up in your room studying all week and now that finals are over, you need to get out and live a little.”
Keith glared at Shiro,”I’m not getting out of this am I?”
“Nope!” Shiro replied, popping the P for emphasis.
“Fine, but I’m not going to enjoy myself.” Keith pouted.
“Great! I have your costume all ready for you anyways!”
“Wait! Costume!?” Keith squaked. “You didn’t mention a costume!”
Shiro’s only response was his cackling heard down the hall.
***
“Chug chug chug chug!” Shiro downed his drink and slammed his glass down on the table.
“You should probably go stop him, unless you want a repeat of last Halloween.”
Adam groaned but didn’t make a move towards Shiro. “I’m at a good buzz point right now and don’t want to babysit.”
Keith rolled his eyes, “Your funeral.”
Adam chuckled, “More like lucky day, he gets really handsy when he’s drunk.” He made a grabby kissy motion towards Keith.
“Eww, TMI dude, TMI.” It’s not like Keith didn’t already know this, he’s seen them drunkenly make out more than once.
Keith took another swig of his beer, hiding his smirk behind it. As much as Keith gave them shit, he was happy to see Shiro and Adam together. Shiro deserves to have someone treat him well and Adam filled those shoes nicely.
“I’m going to grab another.” He gestured to his empty bottle. “Grab me another will you?” Adam asked.
Keith nodded and headed towards the area where the coolers sat.
“O my god your costume is amazing!” A shrill shriek sounded right next to him. He startled a little at the loudness and turned towards the girl. “Uhhh thanks.”
The girl, who had on a “toga” (see bed sheet), ran her hand down the front of his armor. “You look really good in it.” She purred.
“Cool, thanks.” He mumbled and pulled away from her, hurrying down the hall towards the drinks.
He reached the cooler and grabbed a few beers, out of the corner of his eye he noticed a glint of gold. Glancing over to the other side of the room, there was a man holding a gold tinted trident. His hair was short and hazel colored and he could see an undercut towards the back hiding under his leaf circlet.
Someone called out Lance and the man turned around. Keith’s breath caught in his throat, this man was beautiful. His face was chiseled, almost like it was made out of marble, but he also had a cute upturned nose. Bronze skin covered broad shoulders and peaked out from behind a blue/teal chest plate with engravings of waves etched into it.
The man, who Keith assumed was named Lance, started to walk towards his friend and as he walked under the kitchen light, Keith could see that he had the bluest eyes he’d ever seen.
Lance must have felt his gaze on him because he turned towards Keith and made eye contact. The force of his gaze swept over Keith like a tidal wave and he took a step back, not remembering the cooler was there. His foot got caught and he went tumbling over the cooler, landing hard on his ass.
“Ow! Fuck! That hurt.” He kicked the cooler away and discovered that everyone had saw and were now snickering all around.
Ugh, at least I didn’t drop the beers.
“Are you alright?” A voice asked from above him.
Keith looked up to see those blue eyes that caused all of this in the first place staring down at him. Lance was holding out his hand to help him up.
“Ya, I’m ok.” Keith took Lance’s hand and he pulled him to his feet. Hmm, stronger than he looks.
“I thought Ares was more graceful than that.” Lance smirked as Keith got to his feet.
“Ya well I didn’t know Poseidon was so beautiful.”
Wait….shit I wasn’t supposed to say that out loud!
He looked up to see Lance looking down at the ground with a blush high on his cheeks and his lower lip caught between his teeth.
Oh! He’s cute…
“I’m Poseidon, but most mortals call me Lance.” He extended his hand out and Keith shook it.
“Ares, but you can call me Keith.” Keith’s heart fluttered like a butterfly in his chest when Lance beamed a toothy smile back at him.
Unknowingly to Keith, Lance’s friend Hunk had been recording the whole thing from across the room.
*** Three months later….
“Hey babe, what are you up to?” Keith walked into Lance’s apartment, setting down the take out he had bought them for lunch.
“Editing!” Was the response he got from down the hall.
Keith doled out the food onto two plates and walked down the hall to the office, Lance was hunched over his computer.
“Have you been at this since I left?”
“Hmmm?” Lance looked up from his work, “Ya I have but I’m almost done.”
Keith set the plate down next to the computer and dropped a kiss on top of Lance’s head. Glancing at the video on the screen, ”Hey is that me?...Wait, that’s from the summer frat party where we met…”
Lance slurped some noodles into his mouth,”Ya it is...I wanted to talk to you about maybe... posting a video about how we met.” He looked up at Keith sheepishly and smiled. “My viewers have been commenting that they think I’ve been seeing someone and I know you’re not big into the whole YouTube thing but, you’re important to me and I’d love to introduce you to them.”
Keith was kind of speechless, he knew Lance’s channel meant a lot to him so being asked to be included in it was a big deal.
Gulping down his bite of food, “Ya-ya, I’d love that Lance.” He looked at Lance and sent him a toothy grin. Next thing he know he had a lap full of Lance kissing all over his face.
“Haha! Lance! Ok ok.” Lance nudged his nose against his. “Thanks babe!” Lance pecked his nose and got up, returning to his computer.
“Where did you even get that footage?”
“O well, Hunk was actually filming the whole night so we could use it in a future video. I decided to wait on it because the best part of it was when I met you..and I wanted to make sure you were comfortable with being on my channel first before I posted it.”
Geez what did I do to deserve someone like Lance, I couldn’t even say no if I wanted to.
Keith gazed at Lance with fondness but then,”Wait….that means you have EVERYTHING on camera?”
Lance shot him a smirk over his shoulder, “Yep! Everything.” He winked and stuck his tongue out.
“Lance NO!” Keith lunged for him and all Lance could do was giggle.
Needless to say, the video was a huge hit with his viewers.
