A Silent Cry (Klance) [Under Editing]

CH 2: New Home [edited]

A group of students laughed as Keith walked down the hall, he grumbled under his breath and glared at anyone who made eye contact with him.

Behind him skipped an excited and happy Lance he followed behind Keith like a lost puppy, a happy lost puppy, Keith tried his best to ignore it but with all the people laughing at him he was already getting annoyed.

He stopped in his tracks and swiftly turned around to face Lance who also immediately stopped in his tracks. "Lance.." He started, but he immediately stopped himself remembering when he saw Lance in tears, and since Lance seemed like an emotional person Keith did not want Lance to start crying in the middle of the hall. It would just ruin his image.

And so he huffed and turned back around continuing his walk to his class with Lance following close behind. Although in all honesty it didn't really bother him that much, he was glad to have some company even if he was ignoring Lance. Besides, it seemed cute in a way.

Keith flushed red and shook off the thought he quickened his pace to get away from Lance as fast as possible which surprisingly worked, and sure enough Lance fell behind. Keith sighed in relief as soon as he arrived to his class and practically ran to his seat, his sanctuary. He slumped back and groaned. "Stupid gay thoughts." He muttered angrily to himself his cheeks were still burning red.

He waited for Lance to arrive knowing that he wasn't that far away only a couple of feet probably, but as many students trudged in the class with dead looks on their faces wanting nothing more but to go home he began to worry. He tapped his foot and bit his bottom lip as he glared at his watch. "What the hell..." He mumbled, Lance was not that far away from him.

The bell was about to ring and Keith was debating on whether or not he should fetch Lance, wherever he was, but with all his thinking and worrying he had lost track of time and the bell rung causing him to jump. Lotor and Zethrid entered the class both holding smirks on their faces, and at that moment Keith was positive his heart stopped. He quickly rose from his seat. "Mr.Koga-" he quickly cut off the teacher and headed to the door. "I have to piss." He muttered quickly taking the restroom pass from the teacher's desk and was out in a flash.

He stormed throughout the halls and looked around for any signs of Lance he grinded his teeth to calm himself, his lip was already swollen from earlier. When he reached the end of the hall he was utterly concerned and angered when he heard a harsh bang, it was like someone was being slammed against the lockers. He ran toward the source of the noise just around the corner and his heart was set ablaze when he saw a hooded student pressing Lance against the lockers.

Narti was the student's name, Keith instantly recognized them from the dark hoodie they wore, Lance held a panicked look on his face and turned away from his bully bracing himself for the blow that would come to him the bandage on his cheek was peeling off, but nothing came. Keith shoved Narti off of Lance and glared at her. "Don't fucking touch him again." He spat and took hold of Lance's arm dragging him away from the silent bully.

He was a little upset at Lance for not defending himself. "You idiot." He muttered angrily and pushed Lance forward shoving the restroom pass into his hands. "Go, now. I'm taking a walk." He huffed and turned away he shoved his hands into the pockets of his jacket and took a breath to calm himself, he was honestly so close to punching Narti.

Lance grasped onto Keith's arm and stopped him in his tracks. "Let go Lance." Keith demanded in a quiet tone, Lance shook his head in response to Keith's demand. "I can't believe this." Keith shook Lance's hand off of him. "I said I wouldn't be your babysitter, that people would target you because of me." He said remembering when he had warned Lance about the dangers he would be in.

Lance looked down his heart was heavy with guilt, once again Keith had to save him from harms way, he bit down on his lip and suddenly had a burst of determination and grasped onto Keith's arm once again. "Stop Lan-" Keith was yanked back by Lance's surprising strength and tripped over his feet stumbling as he walked, well more like partially walked since Lance was dragging him.
