"Nooooo."
Keith grumble into his pillow.

"Yes! Up! Now!"
Lance said, as he pulled the pillow from under Keith's head. Keith just groaned in response, and buried his head in the mattress.

Lance sighed.
"God you're like a toddler sometimes. Get up!"

"It's 6AM. No."

"How is it you can get up at six to go to the gym, but with literally anything else, you ragdoll in bed until twelve?"

"I dunno. Let me sleep."

Lance walked back around to his side of the bed, and began putting his phone, wallet, and other belongings in his pockets. Then mountained all the pillows and blanket on his side of the bed, before walking back to the half naked Keith.

Lance let out a final sigh. He knew what he had to do, and he was afraid.
"Keith. If you get up, you can control the music for the rest of the day."

Keith, without opening his eyes, rolled into his back, and held out his hand.
"Pants and shirt, please."

As soon as they were in the truck, Keith connected his phone to the speakers, and by the time Lance had them on the road, Keith was ready to press play.

"You're really making me listen to emo music..."
Lance said.

"They're not emo. It's just rock."

"It's absolutely emo. But do I really have to listen to it?"

"I'm really making you listen to it, yeah."

"The whole album?"

"Well no, not 'Blood' or 'Kill all your friends'."

Lance looked over at Keith for a brief second. "Do you hear the words your speaking?"

"They are not emo, just because that have some edgy song titles."

"They dress in black and white, have pale skin, dyed their hair white, and wear eyeliner."

Keith rolled his eyes.
"For three songs. That doesn't define their entire identity."

"You sound so emo right now."

"Shut up, and listen. And I'm not playing the album in release order. Pay attention to the lyrics."

"Why, and why?"

"Because the songs tell a story, but not in their album order. That's the answer to both your questions. Now shut up and listen."

It started with a heart monitor beeping, and Keith began the song 'The End.'

'Now come one, come all to this tragic affair, while off that makeup, what's in is dispar.'
The song sang.

"Makeup?"
Lance asked.

"Shh!"

'So throw on the black dress, mix in with the lot. Ya might wake up, and notice you're someone you're not.'
