Chapter Text
AU where Lance gets stuck on the side of the road bc his car breaks down on his drive back home to Florida so now hes stranded on the highway in Texas and knows no one close enough to helps he just sits there thinking about what to do next when keith goes zooming by
At first he zooms right past and lance things nothing of it
That is until 30 min later the same bike pulls right up next to lane and his broken down bby blue
“Broken down?”
Lance kinda just looks at the guy and /wow/ is he something good to look at when he pulls off that helmet
“Yeah should've figured it was making noises earlier but i was already on the road”
The pretty man just raised his brow “on a trip?”
“Just on my way home to Florida”
Pretty man just whistles “that's a long ways to go”
And well…lance can't keep calling him pretty man. “Yep,” he says, popping the p “so what's your name exactly? I can't not have the name of my knight in shining armor.”
That gets a chuckle “knight in shining armor, huh?” he smirks a little “the names Keith, and what's the name of my damsel in distress?”
Lance squawks “DAMSEL?”
“I may be stuck here, but i can assure you i'm no damsel.” he says with full dramatics bc well, he may as well play the part.
This just makes keith laugh a full laugh and its the most beautiful think lance has ever heard.
“Yeah, uh-huh, keep telling yourself that hun”
oh this man is dangerous. Lance might be a little bit in love but only a tiny little itty-bitty bit…maybe.
“So, are you able to help me or not?”
Keith looks around inside the hood and nods “yeah actually i should be able to do something here”.
Luckily lance had something in his trunk Keith could use; he just didn't know how to use it himself. He was a biologist ok not an engineer and keith apparently just happened to be a very good looking mechanic so obviously lance is gonna watch the man work. Sue him, keith is hot
While keith does this thing, lance decides he may as well attempt to get ot know his motor-knight “so do you do this often?”
Keith raised a brow at him
“Yk,” lance waves his hand around “this whole thing, swooping in to save a broken down traveler?”
Keith shrugs “sometimes, but normally my damsels in distress aren't as cute as you are.”
Lance huffs, trying to tame the blush that keith gave him “you're not letting that go, are you?”
“Nope”
“Ugh, you're the WORST!”
Eventually, his motor-knight is done and lances car purs back into gear.
And well…lance has already gotten this far might as well shoot his shot bc at least if hes turned down he can leave the guy behind in texas,
“So..is there anything i can do to thank my knight? Yk for his oh so nobel rescue?” and if lance is batting his eyes that's between him, this guy and the highway.
Said knight makes a show of thinking it over before he smirks and ooooh does lance like that smirk “maybe, that is…if my damsel is willing to join me for dinner?”
“Hell yeah I am! Lets get out of here cowboy ill follow you”
Once again Keith laughs and they drive off into the sunset right off the highway to eat at the noblest of establishments: waffle house. They exchange numbers and go on another date when lance passed back through.
