Ok, I Guess Sometimes You’re Right by: napenthusiast – Rating: T+ – Word Count: – 21,958 – Summary: Lance is struggling in Chemistry class and needs to fix it ASAP before baseball season starts and he’s put on academic restriction.

Keith is doing beyond great in Chemistry class, thank you very much. That is until professor Coran mentions the fact that the participation portion of his grade is practically nonexistent and that he has to do something about it.

Coran sticks the two of them together so that Keith can tutor someone to get participation points, and Lance can get the help he needs in order to improve his test grades.

Honestly, everyone wins.

Coran just didn’t think the two boys would get along so… well?

call to the wild by: ShatterinSeconds Rating: T+ – Word Cohnt: 8,289 – Summary: Wearing a large grin, Lance slowly pries Keith’s hands away from that pretty, pretty face only to be met with a harsh glare and cute pouting lips.

“I want a divorce.”

Lance continues to grin, leaning closer to say, “You have to marry me first,” before he captures Keith’s lips in a soft kiss. Keith whines when Lance pulls away again, lifting his head to chase after Lance.
