Lance smiles at his phone. It had been years since he'd been involved in her antics, but the interaction semi solidified his reality that they were here to stay, as he had expected and he was excepted.

With a sigh lance pulled himself from under his covers, having gotten the motivation to pull through the depression, he decided to get ready for the day.
He stumbled into his bathroom to get ready for the morning, he had been putting off his facial routine so his skin was oily with a few pimples across his face. He groaned, he would have to go all out today to make his skin clear again.

Once he had finished his routine and given himself his shot before dragging himself out his room in clothes that probably needed a wash. Lance made his way to his first morning class and only class of the day, Physics. The only day time class Keith has and its with him, lance sighs and jerks open the door to his lecture hall and immediately spots Keith sitting in their corner, Keith sees lance and perks up waving rapidly and gesturing for lance to come next to him.
Lance chuckles at his antics and makes his way over to the seat next to Keith.

"Hey Keith, I had the feeling you wanted me to sit here?" Lance said putting on his confidence
Keith chuckled "jeez what gave it away??" He said, Keith looked at lance closely for a moment, his expression going serious "So, are you...alright?" Keith looked lance in the eyes "its just, yesterday i saw the look in your eyes, and you didn't look okay. I just want to make sure.." he looked away from lance.

"I- " lance sighed "I'm fine for the time being, not completely okay, but then who is?"

Keith's expression shifted away from worry and he smiled at lance softly "yeah you got me there...i just really don't like to see you this upset" Keith sighed

"well I'm not always upset so-" Keith cut him off

"No that's a lie, and you know it." lances confident persona crumbled leaving him staring blankly at Keith, he was in class he could break down. Not now. So he held on to that little bit of calm
"I-I don't know what you mean..." He said shakily refusing to look at Keith.
Keith looked at lance with narrowed eye and brought his hands up and smooshed lances cheeks.
"Your smiles never reach your eyes." He said in a sad voice
"Ell tats bery obsrbant ob yew." Lance mumbled out not able to correctly form words due to smooshing.
"Oh sorry about that!" Keith exclaims taking his hand off lances cheeks "i guess im already too invested in you" he laughed nervously , lance's expression grew dark, his confident persona shattered so easily but just a few words from the pretty boy in front of him.
"Well you shouldn't." he spat, glaring down at him "im nowhere near as worht that investment as you think i am " Lance looks away from keith, turning himself away and facing in the direction of professor Coran. The rest of the lecture went in silence for the two men.

________________________________________

Keith sat in silence after lances outburst, he hadn't ment to offend his new friend. And yet there he sat in awkward silence with a fuming lance by his side.

Once class had finished keith went back to his empty dorm and sat down on his bottom bunk with a sigh.
He'd really done it, blew his chance at a good friendship.
Keith lays on his back and looks up At the bottom of the top bunk,
Hunks bed.
Keith glares at it, thinking of all the things that he and pidge aren't telling him. He signs and rolls off of his bed, landing on his hands and knees like a cat, he stands and paces the room, he doesn't know how to fix it. If only he hadn't been so nosy!
Keith takes out his phone and messages lance a quick apology
