Skinny Love / Klance College AU

Lance, no

The party was huge, bigger than Keith would have liked, but when Lance invited the group he hadn't said no. mostly because he didn't want to hear Lance bicker about Keith being a wet blanket. Besides he was worried that they'd get carried away, Lance seemed to have little to no self-control, Hunk was kind of a pushover and Pidge was a wildcard, no telling what she was like during a party. Shiro was coming too, which put Keith a little more at ease, Shiro kind of acted like a bouncer at these kinds of things. Making sure no fights broke out, and everyone stayed relatively safe.

Keith stood in the corner of the room, close to Allura, but not engaging in any conversations. Ironically Here by Alyssa Cara was playing over the stereo system. Keith shoved himself off the wall and moved closer to Allura as if to prove to himself that he wasn't the living embodiment of the song. She was talking excitedly about an upcoming beach volleyball torment coming up. All six of them were planning on entering together, and the girl she was talking to, Nyma, was saying that she was going to be in it as well. Keith half-heartedly listened, saying, "yeah," when Allura gestured to him, trying to include him on the topic. His eyes caught on a guy at the counter that was serving as a bar, he had two cups in front of him and he pulled something out of his pocket and put it in one of the drinks. Keith was across the room in a flash and grabbed the drinks out of the guy's hand just as he was about to put one in a girl's hand.

"What the—" the guy whipped around to Keith.

Across the room, Shiro saw Keith bowed up on the guy and headed over immediately.

"What's going on?" his voice was stern, and a little scary.

"This crazy son of a—"

"This guy put something in the drink!" Keith cut him off and glared.

Shiro automatically tensed and placed a hand on the man's shoulder. The girl suddenly spoke, surprising Keith and Shiro.

"Get off my boyfriend, I knew what he was doing. it's none of your business anyway."

Shiro set his jaw but didn't let him go. Instead, he grabbed both of them and started pushing them to the door. "I honestly don't care what you guys are into, but I won't let it happen at this party. So, it is best for you to be on your way."

The girl was cussing him out, but the guy knew he didn't stand a chance against the musclely man holding him in a death grip, so he allowed himself to be walked to the door. Allura came up behind Keith, having watched the whole thing.

"well, they were a weird couple."

Keith agreed.

"I wonder what they put in the drink," she mused aloud.

Keith shrugged, "I don't know, but what do we do with it now."

"Probably pour it down the sink—"

Allura didn't get through the sentence because Lance shoved himself between the two, wrapping an arm around Keith's shoulders with red cheeks.

"Hey, buddy," he smiled and spoke a little too good to be as drunk as he was. "Aw, did you get me a drink?"

"Lance, no!"

Too late. Lance had the cup in his hand and downed it before Keith or Allura could stop him. The two stared at the oblivious Cuban in horror and Shiro came up beside them, glancing at the trio.

"What happened now?"

"Lance drunk it," Allura gasped.

Shiro looked confused for a second until he glanced down at Keith's empty hand, where the drugged drink was supposed to be. He facepalmed. Oh. My. God.

"Great," Shiro was worried. Who knew what was in there? Hopefully nothing too serious if the girl knew what was going in there. "Keith, I think you'd better take him to your dorm."

"Whata talking about?" Lance threw the empty cup over his shoulder. "I haven't even had that much to drink."

"It's not how much," Shiro sighed. "It's what you drank."

Lance wasn't listening, only continuing on to try and prove he was sober.

"See, listen to this," Lance still hung on Keith's shoulders. "I can sing the alphabet backward. Z, Y, X—"

"Keith take him," Shiro pleaded.

Keith shoved the other drink at Shiro and started leading his singing roommate to their dorm room.

"Do you think we should take him to the hospital?" Allura asked.

"I'm not really sure," Shiro frowned. "I don't think there is much they can do for him, except for wait until it is out of his system."

Allura agreed reluctantly.

"Keith will watch him for the night," Shiro was sure. "But let's round up the other two and get them back to the dorms as well."
