[Tuesday 5:24pm]

pidge and keith had started studying ages ago, after getting over that small awkward bump that was pidge walking in on the two of them doing god knows what.

"and the answer to this one?" pidge asked.

"i don't fucking know pidge! i'm tired!" he groaned, rolling his eyes.

"well i'm sure you wouldn't be tired if you and lance were still at it." they mumbled, starting to write something down in their notebook.

keith scoffed and rolled his eyes, not saying anything in response because he would probably just make the situation worse.

"what were you going to do anyway? i'm curious." they asked, not moving their head from looking down at the paper, but shifted their eyes to look up at him, raising an eyebrow.

"none of your business." he murmured.

pidge let out a small laugh. "i literally almost walked in on you fucking, are you kidding? you literally confessed to each other yesterday."

"i know, but i just couldn't stop myself..." he said, crossing his arms.

"so what you're telling me is, you're horny." they stated.

keith glared at pidge and scoffed. "no- i just- when i kissed him i just couldn't stop."

"that's being horny keith."

"fuck off."

pidge leaned back slightly, tilting their head up slightly, spinning the pencil around in their hand. "well, if you want i'll leave and you too can just pick up we're you left off-"

"pidge."

they looked over at keith, smiling innocently. "yes?"

he rolled his eyes and got up from his spot. "i'm going to get a water bottle." he murmured in a passively aggressive tone of voice.

"because you thirsty?"

"fuck off pidge!!"

they laughed and looked over to the side. lance was still hanging around the apartment somewhere. they grinned and got up from the spot, going off to find where lance was.

lance was standing in keith's bedroom, staring at the small picture frames that sat on his bedside table. there were three, one that had a younger keith with a young smiling couple. keith seemed pretty scared in the picture, holding on to the woman's shirt.

another one was the same couple, but a bit older, with a baby in their arms, grinning widely. and the last was a picture of a woman, but not the same one from the other two pictures. she has long black hair that was tied up into a high ponytail,  her eyes a bright shining purple, just like keith's.

that must be his mother, lance thought to himself. pidge walked into the room, raising their eyebrow at lance. "what are you doing?" they asked.

lance jumped slightly, whipping around to face the young genius. "uh, nothing?"

pidge scoffed, "yeah, right."

lance pursed his lips together and turned back toward the pictures. "i was just looking at the pictures.." he mumbled, stepping forward and grabbing the one of keith's mother. "he really looks like her." he continued, with a small smile.

pidge gave a small sigh, a smile passing their lips. "yeah, he does right?" they said, smiling too.

keith walked into the room after searching for awhile for where the two went. when he saw the picture he frowned slightly. lance looked over at keith, quickly placing the photo down. "sorry, i just got kind of curious-" he mumbled.

keith shook his head and let a sad smile pass his lips. "no, it's okay, i just, haven't thought of her much."

the room was silent for a second, before keith, turned around the walk out the room. "come on, let's just get back." he stated, walking back to where they were before.

the other two nodded, lance taking one last glance at the picture before following pidge out the room. the two went back to studying for a bit, and lance sat nearby, just on his phone playing a game. he couldn't focus though, as questions flooded his mind. he wanted to know more about keith, no, he craved to know more.
