The name felt dry on his tongue. Not that he had anything against a name like that, but the current situation he was in was...
Definitely not something he wanted.
No one knew he was a girl, only Pidge. Shiro and Hunk have had suspicions before, but they both agreed that he simply didn't fit under the female category. Allura isn't even curious about it.
So why?
Why him?
Out of all the people.
Why him?
Lance didn't even seem shock. He kept his hand against the frame of the door, his face tired and his eyes about to drop at any moment.
"Look, Keith." He breathed out."We barely met today. I know. But whatever that's happening to you, I don't need any explanations about it. I just know that you need help... so, if it makes you feel any better, you can have the bed. Please, just... just don't cry, okay? I hate people that cry."
The Korean was basically sobbing. Not literally, of course, but he felt so relieved. Lance didn't call him out on his identity. He didn't say anything like, "Boys shouldn't cry." He didn't do any of the hateful things Keith expected him to do.
"Thank you." He croaked out.
Lance scratched the back of his head, a single eyebrow raised, "Damn, you're pretty emotional over a bed. But I refuse to sleep on the floor, so we gotta share. You a bed hog?"
"No." Keith mumbled, running an arm across his nose, "Not at all. Thanks.. could we, uh, not speak about this to anyone?"
Lance shrugged and turned around, "Not my problem, but your secret is definitely safe with me."
He leaned over and helped the other up, not paying much attention to anything besides his need for sleep. Maybe this is just some dream.
> keith???? > i see light down a hallway > is that you > wAit that's lance > who is he talking to > FUC K > iM SORRY IS THAT YOU HE'S TALKING TO I'M ABOUT TO WHOOP HIS ASS THIS IS NOT OK
Keith breathed through his nose as he looked down at the messages. Lance had left a few seconds ago, leaving Keith all alone in the bathroom.
< he left you can come out of hiding now > why did you open the door for him im #disappointed < i thought it was you > fuck > ok but did he say anything < it's ok < he said he would keep it a secret > ok good < and something along the lines of he doesn't care and just want to sleep > huh > yeah that sounds like him
Keith couldn't help but smile.
< i still need help. > right
Pidge emerged from the corner and went inside the bathroom, locking the door behind them. They sighed, staring up at Keith who was twice their size.
"Okay, first off-" Pidge started, "How dare you have bigger tits than me."
Keith couldn't help but laugh. That was probably the result Pidge was looking for because their face lit up with a smile.
"Second, your health is more important than what others think of you. So I say you keep the binder off and I'll go borrow Allura's clothes for you. She shopped a lot today. How do you feel about lingerie?"
"Please no."
"You're right." Pidge scanned him up and down. "There's no way Allura would've bought lingerie. You'd look good in them, but she probably don't have any. But yeah, most of her clothes are oversized so it'll help you cover up. Stay here. I'm gonna maintain my title as #1 friend and steal some shit."
Keith stayed in the bathroom as he heard Pidge run down the halls and probably looking through Allura's shopping bags, which was in the living room. Minutes passed and they came back with a set of clothes.
"Thanks, but." He looked away. "I'm gonna wake up tomorrow in her clothes. She's gonna ask about it, y'know?"
Pidge innocently looked up, "Oh, don't worry! She already knows. She doesn't care, which makes it seem like she doesn't know. The others won't care either. I mean, who would judge Mr. Crop Top Jacket?"
"Shut up and get out."
As they were shoved out, their face broke into a grin, "What, no thank you?"
The door was slammed shut and Keith changed into his clothes. It was a good thing Allura's taste in fashion was completely diverse. She doesn't even have a style. She just bought whatever looked good.
Keith slipped into the slightly large tee and a more comfortable pair of pants in replace of his tight jeans. This felt much better. He grabbed his previous pair of clothes and hung them up on the hanger hanging from the inside of the door and sighed. He should be able to get a few hours of sleep in.
The Korean walked back to the room. He was greeted by a snoring Lance, taking up almost the entire bed. Keith sighed and walked over, using all of his strength to push Lance over to the corner. Well... saying all of his strength would be exaggerating. Lance was as heavy as a soggy noodle.
He slipped on the bed and pulled the covers over both of them, his back facing the other's.
Sighing with comfort, Keith quickly typed something into his phone.
< thank you
As he was about to fall asleep, his phone buzzed.
> finally ?? > anyways > do i get to send memes again or are those banned from ever existing
He snorted.
< you get to send one meme
Keith turned off his phone and placed it near his pillow, his eyes closing shut. Hopefully, this entire event was a really fucked up dream.
His phone buzzed again, but he was already asleep by the time it did.
