Combustion: the sequel to flame ||klunk|| (a transgender au)

1.hunk

I've felt odd recently. I know I should probably still be sorrowing my break up with Shay but I'm not. That's due to the fact the Keith and Lance keep coming over to cheer me up. They always make me happy and always know what to do. They've given me comfort then I've ever gotten in a while they're like the greatest friends I could ask for.

They were both busy when Matt and Shiro's wedding took place but always found time for me.

But since the wedding is over all three of us have been hanging out every second with each other. They were spending the second night with me at my house.

"Hunk we'll find you a girl I know it," Lance smiled at me.

"Or a boy?" Keith said but it was more of a question.

"I like all genders," I said smiling.

Keith smiled more, "we'll find you someone Hunk." His hand was held on my shoulder and he gave me a grin.

"Yea and if you want us to stop making out in front of you, we can do that," Lance smiled.

"No you don't have to do that," I laugh nervously, I didn't know if it was bad or not but I liked seeing them make out but I would never say that to them.

"I'm going to get waters, want to come Keith," Lance said and it was clear that Lance need to talk to him which made the next part much more odd.

"No," Keith smiled and stayed in place.

"No I need help Keith," Lance said urging him.

Keith rolled his eyes, "fine then."

They were having relationship issues again, clearly. I wonder what was bothering the two this time.

I waited in the room by myself. For a quite a while actually and then I heard yelling in the other room.

I tried to let it die down but it kept going. Then I heard something and silence. I ran toward the kitchen and looked at a broken glass on the floor and Keith's hand which was covered in blood. "Keith!" I saw his hand, "I'll get the first aid kit."

I ran to the bathroom and grabbed the first aid kit and quickly came back to an immobile Lance not knowing what to do. "Lance, sweep up the glass please."

He nodded and did as told as I took Keith's hand. I picked out broken pieces as Keith winced and became shakey. Next I put Neosporin all over the cuts and bandaged up the hand. It felt intimate somehow but I was just bandaging him up.

"What happened in here?" I questioned them both.

Lance a nervous wreck started yelling more all his words jumbled and a mess and he started crying too. I could tell he had impulsively got angry at Keith and felt bad for it. He stopped talking once he realized what he sounded like and he cried more and grabbed his jacket and left.

"Lance?" I shouted before he left but he ignored me and kept walking.

"We only argued and I got tense and broke a glass in my hand Hunk, nothing terrible happened," Keith looked at me and assured, "I should probably go after him though, make sure he doesn't do anything stupid."

"Maybe I should go with you?" I questioned while Keith grabbed his jacket.

He paused clearly thinking then looked back at me, "honestly I would want you help but it would most likely make our argument worse, it'd be best if you stayed here Hunk, I'll be back soon and if not call me."

I nod but am very worried for the two. I'd feel terrible if they broke up and I don't even know why I'd feel terrible I just would.

Plus they're like adorable together, I don't want to see such a relationship fall apart. And if they start drama it'd be terrible because I love them both and I don't think I'd be able to choose a side. I know I've known Lance longer but Keith is cool too and I feel like I know him a lot. Keith and I don't have a lot in common but that's what makes it fun to talk to him, he always tells me things I don't know like the other day he told me about mothman and it was super cool. But Lance is my best bro and I can't abandon him we've been through so much together and we do have a lot in common which make it easier to agree with him. I Hunk I like them both equally and if they do split and I have to choose a side I'd probably not choose one at all.

Maybe I should just hang out with Pidge more I don't have to go through things like this with her. She's a no drama zone. But I do feel she always beats me in like everything we do even if it wasn't a competition, don't get me wrong I love her but sometimes she's just way too smart. Also Keith and Lance are my age and we're all dudes. I guess we talk about dude stuff and older teenager stuff? ... I'll hang out with Pidge soon I don't want to make it seem like I'm choosing favorites. I love all my friends equally.

I was so caught up in thought that when I looked up it had already been a half hour. I quickly checked my phone and saw a text from 20 minutes ago.

Keith
I found Lance
If I'm not back in and hour, call me

Okay then. I guess I can just wait an hour. Alone. I can't even hang out with my mom like I usually do because she's out of town for work. I guess it's time to play the waiting game.

I know what I'll do. I'll bake. That way when they come back they'll have something to calm them down because food always brings people together.
