Keith found himself gawking again as he looked down the hall staring at his best friend, Derek, a Belgian Malinois. He'd hidden his feelings pretty well so far, but It was hard to keep it a secret much longer, especially with him gawking at Derek all the time.
"Keith?" He heard snapping out of it only to find Derek standing in front of him with Keiths face right at his chest making him blush as he looked up at his best friend.
"you were zoning out again and standing in the middle of the hall, are you ok?", He asked putting a hand to Keith's forehead to check and see if he had a fever. Keith quickly craned his neck backwards trying to get away as he took a step back nervously laughing. "I'm fine, I don't know what you're talking about, but i've been a little bit tired lately....maybe that's what happened.", he tried to lie.
Derek shrugged and wrapped an arm around him as he began ushering him towards their class "come on, we're gonna be late if we don't hurry up". Normally, Keith would try and get away, but for the moment he just relaxed and enjoyed the feeling of his friends arm draped around him.
_______________________________ I'm so glad I drew this today. My art school counselor told me I need to work on drawing expressions individual to the character and also show how they hold themselves. I feel so happy with this little sweetheart because that look in his eyes just says he's in love <3.
