Summary
It’s a peculiar thing falling in love with your best friend.
It is sharp, forthright, and shockingly abrupt – something that makes you look at them one day and forces you to pause. A shift.
--
When Keith & Lance feel a shift in their friendship one day, the tides turn, creating a frightening ripple effect. They're now in the grey area between best friends and something new.
It's startling.

Summary
But he has to sing to Keith, and leave it to Keith to make things difficult.
“Keeeith.” Lance slumps his head against the door. There’s no response. “Keith, Keith, Keith, Keith—”
The door swings open and Lance falls through. He gets a facefull of Keith’s bare feet, and he doesn’t know whether the cushioned landing is any better than the hardwood floor.“Oh look,” Lance says. He rolls over so that his body isn’t crushing his guitar and stares up at Keith’s face. “I’ve fallen for you.”
--
OR: Send a special someone a song-gram on this special day for just five dollars! Lance has to serenade college students at their door as a part of his fraternity’s Valentine’s Day fundraiser. Unluckily, he finds himself knelt with a guitar in hand in front of no one other than his longtime rival and crush, Keith Kogane.

Summary
“How about a bet?”
Keith paused.
“If I can make you fall in love with the holidays by Christmas night, you’ll take the shift.”
Keith snorted, turning to face Lance. He kept that vaguely annoyed smile on his face, but nothing could hide the gleam of interest in his eyes.
“You’re not going to make that happen.”
“Okay,” Lance shrugged. “Then what’s the harm of taking the bet?”
Keith’s eyes rose to the ceiling, thinking.
“And,” Lance rushed in, “and I’ll sweeten the deal. I’ll work New Years as well.”
Now that got Keith’s attention.
They had drawn straws for who would work New Years Day weeks ago. It was one of the worst shifts for a toy store. Being deathly hungover while listening to kids scream and toys screech was the stuff of nightmares. Keith had lost and was stuck with the shift.
A slow grin tugged at Keith’s lips. “You’re insane.”***
When Lance gets stuck with the Christmas shift, he immediately turns to Keith, a self-proclaimed Scrooge, to cover the shift. When Keith refuses, Lance offers up a bet. If he can make Keith fall in love with the holidays before Christmas, Keith will take the shift. Nonsense straight from a Hallmark movie follows.

Summary
“You’re so confusing,” Keith says, and it comes out as a low whine. “I don’t understand. Do you like me or hate me?”
“You’re so drunk.”
Keith leans in close, waving Lance closer. “I think I like you and hate you.”
or, Lance works at a department store, Keith works as the elf at their Santa photo experience.

Summary
Lingering glances, flirty smirks, a light blush on tanned skin. Invasion of his personal space all the time, innocent touches that appear just accidental. Lance always around him, that teasing look on his face, and it hits Keith with such a forceful blow that he can barely stay standing on his trembling legs.
Maybe, maybe…
*aka college AU with your regular dense boys, lots of pining and miscommunication, and an eventual happy end
