It's a Fate Thing

  Klance Week 2k16 Day 2 - Love/Hate  

It was the first day of kindergarten, Lance was more than excited to get out of the car and go meet all the new children. "Lance! Wait until the car has stopped before you unbuckle!" His mother chided him as she pulled up to the entrance to the school. "Do you want me to walk in with you?" She asked as she stopped the car, turning to look at him in the backseat.

"No! I'm okay!" He answered her as he excitedly opened the car door and jumped out, shutting the door behind him. "Bye, mom!" He waved goodbye as he ran away to where all the other children were playing on the playground. His mother rolled her eyes playfully at him as she pulled away.

There were children everywhere. Lance looked around, trying to find who he would like to talk to first.There were already groups forming amongst the children. Some playing on the monkey bars, others playing on the slides, but there was one area in particular that caught Lance's attention. The sandbox. There was only one boy there, sitting in the sandbox by himself, playing with a few planes and cars. The little boy had black hair that was longer than normal for boys, going down to his shoulders. He had a black tee-shirt on and some jeans. Lance decided that was who he was going to talk to first, as he quickly ran over to the sandbox. "Hi! My name's Lance. What's yours?" He asked as soon as he was close enough. The other boy looked up at him from where he was sitting on the edge of the sandbox.

"Keith" was all the other boy said, immediately looking away and going back to his planes and cars.

"Well, Keith, can I play with you?" Lance asked after a bit of awkward silence, at least for him.

"I'd rather play alone." Keith didn't look up at him when he spoke. Of course, Lance being Lance took that as Keith thinking he was better than him, and he wasn't having any of that.

"Well fine then. I didn't want to play with you anyways. I can play on my own." Lance stated, hands on his hips.

"Okay." Keith didn't care. He really just wanted the other boy to leave so he could go back to being by himself. Lance, on the other hand, was feeling that his pride had been badly wounded and he vowed he would get Keith back for it.

Throughout Lance's elementary and middle school time he always made it his goal to beat Keith at everything. Keith on the other hand, never noticed the other boy. Keith just wanted to get good grades and do what he had to in class. If they were in gym together, Lance would always make sure to beat Keith at the game, even if Keith was on his team. Let's just say, Keith wasn't the only one annoyed when Lance was in gym class. It went on like that until freshman year of high school when Keith suddenly moved away. Lance thought he'd be happy that he didn't have to make sure he beat Keith all the time now, and he was, for the first few days. After a while, though, he realized that nothing seemed as fun when there was no one to compete with. He eventually got over it, somewhat. It always stayed pushed to the back of his mind. All the rivalry. Lance never completely forgot about Keith. Of course, Lance had other friends. Hunk had been his friend since childhood and while he didn't really understand Lance's rivalry, he went along with it. Listening to Lance's rants. They were best friends after all.

Keith never moved back during his time in high school. Everyone graduated. Lance and Hunk decided they would go to the same college. Today was the day the found out their dorms and their roommates. Of course Lance and Hunk had hoped to be roommates, but luck wasn't always on their sides.

"So what do you think your roommate is going to be like?" Hunk asked as the two made their way to their dorm rooms. Even though they weren't sharing a dorm the two at least got their dorms right next to each other, which was the next best thing.
