[ There's a pause in his texting, he's staring at a fairly dark doorway, he can hear those things scurrying beyond the pitch black and it sends shivers up his spine.
Maybe going back to bed and letting Lance distract him was a good idea. ]
i'll be back
gonna stop and grab a snack on my way down, do you want anything?
[ Laughing to himself a bit Keith grinned and sunk against the pillows, letting himself relax with the other there with him.
It was taking some getting used to, but Keith could do this. He could allow himself to be close to another person like this, especially if it was Lance. The guy just seemed to calm him down about as well as he could rile him up. ]
[ It's nice to have someone want him around but not constantly fawning over him. Lance see's his faults and instead of glossing over them he tries to help Keith get better...in his own weird way. It's nice.
It's comfortable.
And it helps Keith feel better, more than anything other than perhaps one of Shiro's talks. ]
Good. I was afraid you were gonna nag at me for being waaaaay too clingy and sappy. I can't help it, you know. You're my first real boyfriend and amazingly more awesome than I thought you were.
[ Keith sighs a bit and pulls back and puts his hands on Lance's cheeks so the blue paladin is forced to look him in the eye. He has a serious look for a moment before he finally breaks into a soft smile. ]
I don't really have much to go off of but, so far I think you have.
You're patient and caring. A little pushy sometimes but never over things that make me uncomfortable. You give me so much, sometimes I feel like I'm the one who's doing something wrong...or not doing enough.
[ As he talks he pulls Lance closer by the face until their lips are a breath apart and he smiles, a laugh escaping him in more of an exhale of breath. ]

[ Does he listen?
Probably not. ]

[Okay, his dumb flirting aside, he does mean that.]
no subject

[ But he is making his way back to the room, snacks can be got later after he's at least tried to relax a little more. ]

Stripping out of his jacket and shoes he just moves over to the bed and curls up under the blankets. ]

He presses a kiss against Keith's forehead.]
Missed you.
no subject
[ Keith laughed quietly, enjoying the warmth and comfort.
Of course, he felt the same way and thought it was sweet of Lance to say...he just...wasn't going to.
At least out loud.
He'd think it. ]
no subject
[Right, so Lance might be exaggerating...just a bit. But hey. Sappy boyfriend.]
no subject
[ A short breath. ]
But surprisingly I don't mind.

[Smile.]
no subject
Besides, you were clingy to everyone else even before we started dating.
[ He gets a smile in return, damn it Lance. ]
no subject
[Lance loves it when Keith gives him a little smile like that, and kisses him in thanks.]
no subject
[ He's cut off by the kiss but smiles all the same, returning the pressure .
He never thought he'd be so comfortable with another person so close, especially in such an intimate way.
But here he was. ]
no subject
[It's one of the things he worries about, really.]

I mean it Lance, I'm so glad to have you.
