PLS WRITE AN AU/SOME HCS AB LANCE WEARING CONCEALER/ FOUNDATION TO COVER HIS FRECKLES AND KEITH FINDING PUT/SEEING HIS FRECKLES

Awww Lance being embarrassed by his freckles is too cute. Hope you like this anon.

Keith almost doesn’t recognize the person he’s looking at. If he hadn’t heard him speak he’s have thought it was someone else. But it isn’t. It’s Lance. 

Looks like a family function at the park. A birthday party? For a little cousin? Lance is there helping his father cook dogs on a grill. He’s wearing a ballcap and wiping sweat off his face with a smile. Lance never wears a hat, it’s probably why he didn’t recognize him at first.

He’s not wearing makeup. Keith assumed he did with how important his skin is to him. Can’t get through a class without Lance talking about his flawless skin. Keith always thought he was a bit vain but with looks like that he’s not surprised. He’s known for his perfect face at school.

But there, right there, is Lance without a spot of concealer. No foundation. And his face is speckled with a million freckles. They’re all over his nose and cheeks. He’s…cute. He can’t imagine why Lance would cover them.

Lance looks up from the grill and does a double take when he sees Keith sitting there under a tree staring at him. A panicked look comes over his face for a moment so Keith waves casually at him. To show him he’s not going to approach or bother him. Lance flushes red and pulls the cap down further in an attempt to hide his face. 

Keith feels terrible. Like he ruined Lance’s good time because not once after that does Lance smile. He just goes through the motions of attending this family gathering. Keith decides he should go. He can read somewhere else. Before he gets far though a hand lands on his shoulder.

“Hey,” Lance frowns. “Uh…what were you doing here?”

“I came to read,” Keith says, showing his astronomy textbook. “I didn’t know you’d be here.”

“You uh…you’re not going to tell anyone are you?” Lance asks and flushes. 

“About what?” Keith asks, genuinely lost on the question.

“About my…” Lance trails off and rubs his face like he can erase them. “I usually cover them up. To even it all out.”

“Don’t know why you bother,” Keith shrugs and averts his eyes. “They look good on you. Like constellations.”

“Wh…”

“Anyway…I won’t tell,” Keith says. “Later Lance.”

When Keith sees him at school Lance is back to wearing his makeup to hide what he considers ‘blemishes’. But sometimes their eyes meet in class. Keith always gives him that same casual wave he gave at the park. And Lance gives him a half smile and a wave back. 

Normally Lance would never go to class without covering up but remembering what Keith said he considers it. Thinks about the quiet loner who studies star charts instead studying the constellation of freckles on his face. Imagines Keith tracing the stars on his cheeks with his fingers and reveling in the smoothness before pressing a kiss to his lips.

At the end of class, Lance tosses a note onto Keith’s desk and leaves without a word. Keith opens it with a raised brow and reads.

–You and me. Stargazing Friday @9? Park. You know the one.– 

Keith smiles at that and looks up to find Lance looking at him over his shoulder from down the hall. He looks hopeful. Keith scribbles something on the note. He nonchalantly drops it next to Lance as he passes with a smirk on his face. Lance picks it up and flushes red as he reads it.

–I’ll bring the telescope if you bring your stars–

“Take some time for yourselves. Be with the ones you love.”

done lol, i was just scribbling around and trying stuff out so.. messy, but full of love u_u

tbh this is basically an homage to the shance rp i did a couple years back that rly made me ship it and then make this blog lmaO, the champion and his escort ;)
