12. "Rivials" {Part 1} (Fluff)

High School AU

Lance stomps his way down the hallway with red paint all over his body, staining his clothes. "KOGANE." Lance yells angrily while Keith stands there laughing his ass off. Keith closes his locker door and laughs at the red paint covered boy in front of him. Lance opens the bucket of blue paint he was holding and flings it at Keith. Everyone laughs at the two flight each other, or well at least tried to. Since the paint is slippery it made them slip, and they're now on the floor wrestling each other. Hunk rushes out of the hallway to get a teacher and Pidge records the entire mess happening before her.

"McClain! Kogane!" A male voice is heard through all the students ears, and they both stop. "Principal Alfor!" They both try to stand up but they fail miserably which led to them both on the floor once again. "Go home and clean up." The principal commands coldly and the two nod quickly and listen and receive more commands from their principal. "Tomorrow, my office right at the beginning of first period with your guardians." They both nod with shame and hang their heads, "You'll get further information tomorrow!" Alfor turns around and everyone rushes to their classes and the two attempt to stand up. When they managed to stand they just glare at each other.

The next day Lance walks into with his parents, who aren't all that pleased. When Lance walks in, he notices Keith is alone. Lance is forced to sit down in the chair by his parent who stand behind him. Principal Alfor walks in with two files in hand, "Welcome." He says calmly while sitting down. "Keith, where are your parents?" Keith just keeps his head low, "I don't have any Principal Alfor..." Everyone goes silent for a second, "Any other guardians?" Alfor speaks up, Keith shakes his head, "No sir, my brother was the one who went missing in the recent space mission..." Keith tries to keep the tears in. Alfor nods in sympathy and continues, "Shall we get down to business?"

"This is the tenth time this week your son has been fighting with this young man." They both sink down into their seats, "I do not want to suspend them and have it put onto their records, they are both very capable of getting into good schools." Lance's parents nod and wait for Alfor to continue, "I was hoping you don't mind if I have outside of school detention for ten weeks." Lance's mother speaks up in confusion, "Ten weeks?" Alfor sighs, "They constantly break things when they fight or make a mess." Alfor who looks at Keith, "It's normal for Keith to start things, and sometimes it's Lance." Alfor stands up and hands Lance's parents a file. Lance's father begins to read it, "Paint fight?" Lance's father gives a glare to Lance, "When did this happen?" Lance sighs and mumbles, "Yesterday..." Lance's parents start scolding Lance, who knew that this was going to happen. He hangs his head low and Keith just watches Lance, who look like he's about to cry.

"They got so much potential Mr. And Mrs. McClain, but they are doing too much damage to the school." Alfor goes on and Lance glances at Keith for a second, who still has blue paint in his hair. "I do not want to have charges be put down because we have enough money to pay for the damage but they need to be punished." Lance's parents agree to the ten week detention but with one exception for his dance classes. "Now, you may leave, I'll have administration give them information after school today." Lance's parents walk out after Lance bolts out of there.

"Keith, may we speak to you?" Lance's mother speaks to Keith before walks out, Keith nods and Lance's mother pulls him aside, "I understand that you lost your parents and your brother..." Keith tries not look at her in the eye, "Are you living alone sweetie?" Keith looks down with tears going down his cheeks, "I am..." Lance's mom goes into a sad state, "Sweetie, I'm a mother, I know when my children are starving..." Lance's mom places a hand on his cheek, "I can help you Keith..." Lance's father gives Keith a sad smile. "You can live with us Keith..." Lance's father pats him on the shoulder, "What about Lance?" Keith asks, and they just shake their heads, "He'll have to deal with it, I cannot see a child suffer..." Keith starts crying at a mother's touch. Something that he hasn't felt in a long time.

"When you're ready this evening come over, we'll have dinner ready." Keith nods and the two walk out of the office. Keith rushes out of the office with tears going down his cheeks, and he rushes to his locker and grabbing his books and heading to astrology, textbook and his binder in his arms. He walks into class sitting at his assigned seating which was next to you know who... Lance.

Lance looks at him with a confused look, but ignores it for the rest of class.

After school Lance's parents wait to tell Lance that Keith will be living with them for the time being until Keith finds guardians to take care of him, or until they figure out what happened to his brother.

At five o'clock Keith rings the McClain's doorbell. Lance runs to the door beating his three other siblings to the door, once he opens it, he slams it. "Lance! Was that Keith?" Lance's father scolds him before he opens it again to see a nervous Keith with a duffle bag and a backpack. "Why is Keith here?" He asks his mother in an angered tone. "Lance, Keith is here to live with us." Lance freezes then runs upstairs. Keith looks down at the floor nervously. "I can leave... I see I'm clearly not wanted here..." Lance's mother shakes her head, "No you can stay, like I said, he's going to deal with it."

From then on, Keith lives with the McClains, a loving family looking after an orphan.
