Okay, I'm gonna give it a try...

I chose Firegirl. A heartbreaking story BTW. Read it ALL THE WAY   BACK IN 5TH GRADE. ITS BEEN EONS

It's....

"An election for class president."

This is gonna be good. *cracks knuckles*

Lance POV:
An election for class president was going down. Three people where nominated: Yours truly, Allura, and the worst person in the entire school... Keith Kogane.

"They won't stand a chance." I smirked icing the last cupcake. I arranged them neatly on another plate. I had about 26 plates each with a beautiful bundle of cupcakes with blue icing. I had posters already in a stack for me to put up at school tomorrow. My campaign is 'I'm running for class president' with a picture of me running. I also have several posters of Napoleon Dynamite when he was dancing but I replaced Pedro with Lance with my photoshop skillz.

That wasn't all. I made t-shirts that says vote for Lance just like the one from Napoleon Dynamite. As you can see, I'm taking a very meme like approach. After all, who doesn't like memes?

Early that morning

I rushed all over the house slapping siblings hands away from the fresh cupcakes and collecting posters and shirts. Hunk walked in grabbing a bunch of stuff to help me. Hunk was a major help.

"Thanks Hunk, I couldn't do this without you. Oh and that recipe you gave me for the cupcakes was PERFECT. They turned out fantastic."

"No problem! As long as I get one." He laughed grabbing one off the plate and ate it. "These did turn out great!"

We headed out the door with plates of cupcakes covered carefully and handfuls of campaign stuff. Our friend group kind of divided in order to help everyone out. Hunk helps me, Pidge helps Allura, and Shiro helps Keith.

When we got there Allura was handing out handmade bracelets with stars on them smiling and repeating 'vote for Allura!'.

Hunk took charge of handing out food while I walked around handing out T-shirts and putting up posters. I came across Keith hanging up his poster too. It was him looking very serious with the text 'Trust me, I have a mullet'. He was so fricken adorable.

Keith read over mine and burst into laughter. "Really? Memes?"

"Really? Mullet?" I retorted causing us both to laugh.

"Touché. I see you're hanging out shirts."

"Yup! And cupcakes. What are you doing?" I asked curiously trying to collect a little information on my opponent.

"Not much really, just the posters. Shiro said I should at least put in some effort." He taped another one to the wall finally turning back o me with a small smile that made me want to just grab his face and kiss it. "Mind if I take a shirt?"

"No, go ahead." I said staring at him slightly. I know I shouldn't do this considering we're supposed to be battling to the death for class president but I couldn't help but try. I'm gonna flirt with him. "If you were a president, you'd be Babe-raham Lincoln."

I didn't just say that. Out of all my pick up lines... that officially was the worst. He stared at me a moment with a large blush set up across his cheeks. He looked away bashfully which was the complete opposite of what I was expecting. What I was expecting was a graceful punch to the face.

"You can't be serious?"

"What?" He asked defensively as he grabbed another poster to avoid looking at me, his face was obviously still red.

"Of all the flirting I've done to you, all the pick-up lines! This! Babe-raham Lincoln is what makes you get all flustered." I tried to sound serious but towards the end I couldn't help but laugh.

"So? You've been trying to flirt with me?" Keith asked casually as he hung up another poster. He obviously was dying to hear my answer though.

I thought about messing with him but maybe my time has come. I thought for a second. "Duh, of course I have. I mean, Keith I-."

"Hold it Keith." Shiro said running up. "Whatever Lance is saying, don't let it get to you, he's just trying to take down the competition. Have you heard, he made T-shirts." He looked at Keith holding one and gave a disapproving look. Keith glared at me thinking I was trying to just get rid of him in the election. Damn.

"Wait Keith I-." I reached to grab him but he gave me the look of death.

"Not cool Lance." Then him and Shiro walked away. I grounded and banged my head on the lockers annoyed. I just came seconds away from admitting to Keith I liked him, now he thinks I was trying to eliminate him as competition. Geez, he probably hates me.

"Lance are you okay?" Hunk walked up to me with half a plate full of cupcakes. He handed one to a passing girl. "Vote for Lance McClain!"

I rubbed my face stressfully. "Yeah, I'm good."

Later in math...

Occasionally Keith would look my way and when our eyes would meet he'd glare or look away frustrated. When the  bell rang I sprang up as quick as possible and ran over to Keith who just rolled his eyes.

"I wasn't doing what Shiro said," I grabbed his hand which took him by surprise and a blush crept to his cheeks. "I really like you Keith."

He stood wide eyed and he obviously was trying to form words but he remained speechless. "Lance I li-."

"Keith! We're late! I told you! You can't trust Lance during this election." Shiro said pushing Keith out the door. Our eye contact never broke until he was out into the hallway out of sight.

I sighed and picked up my bag. I felt so stupid. He didn't say he liked me back. But then again, he didn't say he didn't like me?

I smiled lightly to myself as I though of Keith's face when I told him. I had a newfound hope that he felt the same way.

I walked out into the hallway and I was greeted by tons of people guaranteeing they'd vote for me. I waved and thanked them not really paying any attention.

Lunch~

"Lance what's up with you? You look like you're off in another world." Hunk said waving his hand in front of my face.

"Hunk!" I said excitedly grabbing his shoulders and shaking him slightly. "I've never been so nervous in my life!" Though I had a large smile on my face.

"Um, Lance your starting to weird me out. Your nervous because of your speech this afternoon right? Did you memorize it like you said you would today?" Hunk said being the voice of reason like always.

"Oh no... I totally forgot!" I panicked. I already wrote the speech and promised Hunk I would just memorize it throughout the day but I'd been so preoccupied with Keith.

"Lance! What are you gonna do at the speech!? It's in an hour!" Hunk was doing all the panicking for me now.

"Relax, I'll just memorize what I can and wing the rest."

"How could you forget to memorize it, I thought you had this in the bag. You've been so distracted all day." Hunk went from panic to worry. Hunk definitely deserves a vacation after this.

"Well, you see... I kind of have a major crush on Keith." I began.

"Of course, everyone knows. It's pretty obvious."

"Right. That's good to know. This morning I came really close to telling Keith I liked him then Shiro butt in and was all like 'don't listen to anything Lance has to say he's just trying to eliminate the competition' and Keith got mad. So in math I cleared things up with him and I told him." I explained quickly.

Hunks face was pale but he continued nervously. "What did he say?" Hunk seemed focused on something else but I didn't care, I needed to confide in someone.

"Nothing." I said weakly. "But he never said he didn't like me back, so at least I have a little hope. But I'll take whatever hope I have because Keith is so friggen adorable, and cute, and gentle, but badass and sweet..."

"Um, Lance, I probably should've told you this a bit ago but look behind you." Hunk smiled guiltily.

I tuned around to find Keith red as a tomato causing me to turn into a tomato. Shiro was staring at us surprised. "Uh, I c-can explain?" I tried.

"Lance, I'm sorry I didn't say anything before. But, I-."

"No no no no! 'Buts' are never a good thing. I don't wanna hear it if it's bad."

"I was gonna say 'but I like you too'." He rolled his eyes smiling at me.

"A-are you serious?! Your not messing with me!?" I jumped up from my seat and grabbed Keith by the arms.

"Yes." Keith laughed. The words were music to my ears, I quickly leaned forward and planted a kiss on his cheek.

"Awe would you look at that, Shiro, you owe me five bucks." Pidge smirked as she and Allura walked into the situation.

"Guys! Keith likes me back!" I said triumphantly. I pulled Keith into a hug and felt his soft hair tickle my nose.

"Hey we're gonna be late for the speech." Shiro said glancing at the clock worried.

"Oh damn." I said suddenly feeling my stomach do a flip flop. I pulled out my speech and began reading through it quickly.

"Lance! You didn't memorize your speech?!" Keith looked at me like I was insane.

"Well I was going to memorize it throughout the day but I got... distracted." I smiled for a moment looking up at him before snapping my head back down at the crumpled up sheet in my hand.

"Oh well, I guess I'll just make you Vice President after I win." Keith smiled as he walked of triumphant. Allura and I immediately went into protest.

========

We all stood at a podium of our own in front of the school nervously. I was next to Keith which I was thankful for. I leaned over to him and whispered. "You ready to get crushed Keithy Boy?"

"In your dreams sharpshooter." We both laughed.

"But really, I bet you'll do amazing." I smiled warmly and planting a small kiss on his cheek.

Keith went red at the gesture and smiled. "You'll do fantastic McClain, you've always been good with people."

"I think I got the main gist of my speech down so let's cross our fingers." I chuckled. Keith grabbed my hand from behind the podiums considering they were all in close proximity. He rubbed circles on the back of my hand which was so calming.

"Alright let the speeches begin!" The principle announced through i microphone shutting up the noisy audience. "Lance! Please go first."

I gripped Keith's hand tighter and began.

(I'm not gonna write 3 speeches. I'm too lazy for that BS. Sorry. I got finals going and pssshh let's face it, I'm only running on coffee and adrenaline. Hope ya'll can relate.)

"We have the results in!" Coran our principle announced excitedly holding up a small folded piece of paper.

I looked at Keith nervous and excited. "We got this Keith. No hard feelings on who wins?" I rubbed his hand as he did to me when I was nervous.

"Yeah, we both did our best." He smiled leaning into me slightly.

"And the winner is... Allura!" Coran yelled thrilled.

Keith and I stood in utter shock. We both clapped at her win but were still devastated. She did a small happy dance and was handed a microphone.

"Thank you! Thank you! I'm so happy you all chose me to be the class president!"

"We all really enjoyed the bracelets you made! We could really tell they were made from the heart." Coran patted her on the back.

Keith and I exchanged looks and began to laugh. We were not expecting that. We both leaned in and shared a very small and short kiss. We didn't want to start PDA up on stage in front of the school.
