@spacegay: now i'm the one needing saving

@spacegay: why did i think this was a good idea?

@bi_fry: what's up??

@spacegay: my friend is dragging me to some building thing with them and some other guy idk

@spacegay: and i promised i'd support them

@bi_fry: weird

@spacegay: weird? how so?

@bi_fry: i'm doing the same thing for my friend

@spacegay: o m fg, you don't think..?

@bi_fry: dUDE

@bi_fry: YOU'RE FROM THAT SCHOOL THAT OUR SCHOOL HATES??

@spacegay: and you're from the school my school hates??

@spacegay: shit

keith looked up and ran beside pidge. he turned them around, a frantic look on his face. pidge raised their eyebrow and tilted their head.

"oh my gosh, keith, what's up? you look like you've seen a ghost." pidge said in a slightly joking manner.

"that guy is friends with lance!" he said in a panicked tone.

"woah, first of all, chill out. second, who is?" pidge asked.

"the guy you're building against, and lance is gonna be there." keith whispered as if he didn't want pidge to hear him.

"oh my god!! seriously?! that's amazing! you get to meet your boyfriend! way to go buddy!" pidge said, giving keith a supporting punch to the side.

"no, no, not amazing!" keith groaned, rolling his eyes. "and he's not my boyfriend!"

"why not? you don't wanna meet him?" they asked with a small tilt of their head.

"it's just-" he started, but cut himself off.

"i get it. you're nervous! or better yet- you don't wanna see him because it'll ruin the whole mysterious aspect of him! he's like a mysterious guy that text you and you can't help but wonder what he's really like, and seeing him will crush all your dreams. or make them all better!" pidge explained pretty though out. they let out a dramatic sigh and shook their head. "how sad." they said wiping away a fake tear.

"pidge-i-" keith sighed and placed his hand on his forehead.

"it's fine keith. maybe you two will hit it off! what if he's super cute! then it'll be no problem right?" they said with a slight smirk.

"pidge... whatever..." he mumbled giving up.

they continued on their walk toward where the two pairs were meeting up. keith pulled out his phone to see he had three new messages from lance.

@bi_fry: that's means we're gonna see each other right?

@bi_fry: how do you look like?

@bi_fry: what's your hair and eye color?

@spacegay: fuck off

@bi_fry: i'm gonna see you anyway! you might as well just tell me how you look

@spacegay: what if i change my mind and just don't go?

@bi_fry: won't your friend be disappointed??

@spacegay: yep

@bi_fry: but are you still going

@spacegay: yes, sadly

@bi_fry: sadly? do you really not want to see me that much?

@spacegay: it's not that, it's just idk

@spacegay: literally met you like what three? four weeks ago? and you seem like such a weird person, but not in a bad way, and just seeing you in reality would burst the bubble of you being just some random person who texted me and make you more, idk real???

@bi_fry: pfft o mg that's your reason?? lmaoo

@spacegay: what?

@bi_fry: it's just, you're talking as if making me more real as a bad thing! i was thinking more like yeah, you're actually a real person and that's exciting!

@spacegay: oh, i guess?

@bi_fry: yeah! well, i'm already at the spot with hunk

@bi_fry: where's the mini genius and you?

@spacegay: almost there

keith slipped his phone into his pocket. he took two deep breaths. just take it in a good way, there's nothing bad about making someone more real.

"it's right over there! i think i see them! come on hurry keith!" pidge pipped up with excitement, breaking out into a slight jog toward them.

keith closed his eyes and took one more deep breath. here goes nothing.
