I knocked on the door of the art studio, not expecting an answer, but it swung open and the art directors kind face smiled down at me. "Let me guess. You want to use the studio for a bit? Go ahead, Keith. I was just heading home, so do me a favor and lock up when you're done?" She dropped the key in my hand. "Sure." I grinned. "Thanks, love." She smiled one last time before closing the door behind her. When she had left the building, I dimmed the lights. I had always found the dark comforting, so it might be easier to come up with a solution this way. People walked in groups past the glass wall, but I couldn't hear them. Instead, I picked up a pencil and rolled a large piece of paper across the table. My arm moved in a smooth motion, drawing a long, curved line onto the paper. What now? What would I do? What would Shiro do? I thought about my brother. He wouldn't get himself into this mess in the first place. What would Pidge do? Scare Lotor off with her big words and sass him into tomorrow. None of that would help me. What about Lance? Lance.. Lance would probably just get annoyed by his horrible flirting, but go with him anyway. Lance, who worked full shifts on Saturdays at McDonalds. I grinned. Lance, who was my savior.
A knock pounded on the glass wall, and I instinctively covered my work as I looked up. Shiro stood cheerfully, gesturing for me to come out. I rolled my paper up and backed out, turning off the lights and locking the door behind me. "Hey!" Kenny grabbed the handles of my chair and spun me around. "Woah!" I exclaimed, chuckling slightly and grabbing the arms as my hair whipped into my face. "What happened? Why so happy?" I grinned up at him. "I asked Allura out today. She said yes."
"Ah, so she is your girlfriend." I noted. He whacked my head lightly. "Congrats, dude! When's the date?" Please be Saturday, I prayed. "Saturday. We're going out for lunch." What a coincidence, my date and I are too! I sighed with relief. He'd be busy when I left. "Thats fantastic. Take her somewhere nice, yeah?"
"Yeah." He pushed me home.
