Keith hung onto his empty red cup for at the very least half hour after Lance left. His eyes scanned around the room and several people, friend's to Lance, Hunk, and Pidge. 

Shiro walked over along with Matt, Keith knew a bit about him. Whatever Shiro had to tell about their adventures, getting lost, the usual as Shiro called it, even so, it sounded anything but usual.

"Hey, Keith." Pidge's brother greeted, Keith simply waved at him. He was slimmer than Shiro, though, this didn't surprise Keith; Shiro looking like he's a week's worth of protein shake and intensive training away from being a body builder. "I'm Matt, though you must've known that by now" he placed his hand in the back of his neck chuckling. Keith offered a small smile, "um, yeah," he looked into his empty cup avoiding Matt's or anyone's eyes. He felt a hand placed on his shoulder, he looked over and saw Shiro smiling kindly. 

Keith kept zoning out during the conversation Matt and Shiro kept going; Keith let his eyes glance around until he heard a loud laugh, livelier than the upbeat music being played. Keith turned over to see where it came from until he saw Lance clutching his abdomen from laughing so much Keith assumed, a huge grin on his face as he sobered up. Keith found himself smiling at the scene. 

Lance felt a pair of eyes on him, he was quick to realize it was Keith, he smiled brightly over at the dark haired boy, Keith was taken aback by this his eyes slightly widened he took a small step back looking away from the tall tan boy who stood across the room. Lance raised a brow but shrugged it off and kept on talking with his company. Keith glanced back at Lance, he silently mumbled to himself "what was that, Keith? ugh, damn it" he then left to throw his cup away not needing it any longer. Keith returned to his spot next to Shiro but not fully into the conversation. 

Glancing once more towards Lance he let out a small sigh. "Who's the one you got your eye on?" Allura whispered in Keith's ear, Keith swore under his breath jumping at her sudden appearance and question. He spun his hand clutching where his heart was beating rapidly, "the hell?" Allura laughed it off "So, who is it?" she smirked with a glint in her eyes determined to find out. Keith glared at her "what're you talking about?" he folded his arms over his chest. "Hmm, well, I'm talking about the person you had your eyes set on and kept sighing about" Allura placed her index finger on her chin looking up, after she did so she lowered her eyes at Keith's level and begun smirking once more. 

 Keith could feel his cheeks warming up. He scratched the back part of his neck looking down, he glanced back at Lance and saw him smiling brightly. Allura tried her best following where his eyes fell upon, but it was to no use all she saw was that tall tan guy talking with a blonde girl who wore her hair in two pony tails and two braids in each pony tail, she had on a blue crop top with matching baggy pants that hung low on her hips, she seemed slightly uninterested. Next to them stood Hunk and a girl near his height olive colored skin, short hair big loops on her ears that stood out, she had a pretty green dress. 

Allura crossed her arms over her chest raising her brow at Keith.

 Keith knew she was not going to let it go.

"I wasn't looking at anyone!" Keith said louder than he needed to, Allura looked at him, it was obvious she didn't believe him. She raised her hands "Alright, you'll tell me one way or another" she smirked once more and walked off. 

"Hey," Pidge greeted with a wave and a knowing smile. "Hi" Keith nodded, "It may be quite sudden, but would you mind sharing your contact information? It might prove to be quite useful" holding out her phone, Keith looked at it for a moment debating whether he should or shouldn't give this person who seemed to know something about Keith he himself didn't know.  He gave in and took the device from her hands, finishing he offered a small smile and she gave him a smile of her own. "enjoy the rest of the party!" she scurried off, not too long after he lost total sight of her. 

Keith felt an itch of hunger in the pit of his stomach, he wasted no time in heading towards the food table. He found Hunk filling a bowl with green Jell-O looking stuff, "Oh, hey Keith!" Hunk smiled kindly and waved with his free hand before Keith could respond Lance hung an arm around Hunk "Hey, buddy, whatcha' up to?-" he looked at Keith in surprise "Hey there, Keith" 

"I was just about to offer Keith some," he showed Keith the contents of the bowl he had in hand, "Mm, I'll pass. Thanks though" he smiled at Hunk, Lance grabbed a spoon off of the table and scooped a bit from Hunk's bowl. "Hey!" Hunk protested but Lance already had the spoon in his mouth "You outdid yourself this time for sure" he finger gunned Hunk, Keith stood there not really knowing what to do, Hunk sighed but chuckled "Thanks, I made some changes to the recipes I was given" 

Lance strode over to Keith, the taller tan boy placed a hand on one side on his hip and shifted his weight on that same side. Keith folded his arms in front of himself, slightly lifting his chin. Lance broke into a smile and placed a hand on Keith's shoulder laughing softly "Honestly, I'm glad you got to come. I didn't expect you here at all, but it was a pleasant surprise" Keith's eyes widened slightly at Lance's words he felt his cheeks warm up.

He felt around in his pocket and found an eyeliner, 

Shit, what kind of present would this be? Keith thought to himself; he mentally slapped himself.

"Well, it isn't much, but there's something I could give you," Keith told Lance rather nervously. Lance seemed amused, "Oh?" Keith could see a smirk forming on the taller boy's lips. Keith took the liner out slowly, he held it for a moment considering. He shrugged and handed it to Lance. 

Lance stared at what he now had in his hand; an eyeliner. He looked back at Keith, the shorter dark haired boy had his hands stuffed in the pockets of his jacket and apparently found something on the floor interesting to look at. The tall tan boy suddenly burst into a fit of laughter, "Thank you, I needed one" he winked at Keith. Said boy appeared rather flustered. "Yeah, sure, no prob" Keith smiled at Lance. 

Both boys kept each other company for the rest of the party, when everyone began leaving the house Shiro, Allura, Keith, Hunk, and Lance stayed to help Pidge and MAtt clean around the place. 

Being as immersed in the cleaning as Lance was he had not noticed when the liner Keith gave him fell from his pocket, Shiro noticed, he walked over and picked it up for Lance. "Hey, Lance I think this fell from your pocket" Shiro tapped on Lance's shoulder to get his attention, the tan boy glanced over his shoulder and saw Shiro. 

"Hey Shiro," Lance noticed he had the liner in his hand, "Oh thanks" Lance smiled as he was going to retrieve his gift. Shiro looked at it once more and noticed it was very much like his own. "wait a sec" Shiro inspected the liner and realized it was his. "Lance, why do you have my eyeliner?" Shiro raised a brow at the tan boy. "What? no, Keith gave it to me" Lance shook his head, a puzzled expression clear on his face. Shiro handed Lance the eyeliner, "Oh, ok, sorry bout' that" nodding, Shiro left. 

Lance shrugged stuffing the eyeliner back into his pocket, securely this time.
