keith spent christmas morning with his foster mom, then went over to lance's for the rest of it. apparently they were having a huge family get together and everyone had been asking if keith would be there, which made keith's cheeks burn.

lance's parents had gotten keith a few presents, and so did lance, which made him tear up a bit. once the family started pouring in, lance had to hold keith's hand so he wouldn't get swept away by the crowd. lance's family asked him everything under the sun, from his previous dating life, to his hobbies. it eventually escalated into them asking keith if he was a sexual deviant or had any drinking problems.

"okay, that's enough," lance stepped in, rolling his eyes at keith, who cracked a smile. he muttered something in spanish, causing his aunt to whack him upside the head and scold him in the same language. "okay, okay! i'm sorry, jesus christ."

new years approached quickly. lance held a party at his house, but it was a small one, only consisting of lance and keith's closest friends.

"my mom said we can drink if and only if you guys stay the night," lance warned as he brought a cooler into the basement. "and this is a request from me, please don't tell your parents."

pidge and hunk laughed, before arguing over who was going to beat keith in super smash bro's.

"neither of you. keith's a beast at this game," lance said, grinning as keith threw him a smile and blew a kiss.

"gay," pidge muttered, before whining as keith hit them over the back of their head.

"you're gay," he retorted and pidge sighed.

"ah, touché."

the doorbell rang and keith felt his stomach drop. he knew exactly who that was, and he wasn't looking forward to seeing him again. lance had asked if keith would be okay with inviting him, and not wanting to piss on his parade, keith said yes, but now he was regretting it. he focused on the game instead, and promptly kicked hunk and pidge's asses with no remorse.

  lance walked in with two figures behind him. keith looked back to see shiro and a girl, his arm around her waist. she was beautiful, with wavy light hair and dark skin, complete with striking blue eyes.

  "dude, she's hot."

  "pidge!"

  keith's world crashed at his feet.
