Dont take this for granted~ Klance (discontinued)

Chapter 1

"Katherine! You faggot!" Keiths dad had said slapping him, Keith fell down to the floor with a thud holding his cheek and tears threatening to pour out of his eyes. "I-Im sorry- I-" Keith spoke up "Reggie stop!" he heard his mother scream "Shes going through a phase- we just have to wai-" smack!

Keith screamed in horror, his dad had just slapped his mother and she fell to the floor as well "Dont you dare start the 'Shes going through a phase' Jennifer!" he yelled face red with anger.

"I want you out of my house! No daughter of mine living under my roof is going to go 'trans'! That is for the lgbt faggots!" he yelled pointing to the door, other hand threatening a slap.

Keith had tears streaming down his face as he pulled himself up he shakily rushed over to the door trying to get out as fast as he could "Reggie!" he herd his mother yell as Keith frantically tried to get the door open "At least let her get her stuff shes just 16! She cant live on nothing!" his mother said pleading his father.

Keith wanted the yelling to stop and he wanted the 'she she she' to stop. He hated it, he absolutely hated it! "Stop the bullshit! I am a fully capable man!" Keith emphasized "Your not my daughter anymore." his dad said with a scowl "Get your stuff and be out of the house by midnight." he said and grabbed an alcohol bottle.

All Keith could do was rush up his stairs with his mother calling his name over and over-

Then he woke up. His eyes opened wide and his body shot up abruptly, he was filled with sweat and he felt hot tears rolling down his face. Soon after he heard his alarm go off that means its 7:00 am, he had to get ready for work.

Keith hoped up stretching out his arms his shirt riding up a bit as he did so, he rubbed his eyes and wiped his face with his shirt removing the wet tears from his face. He trudged over to his closet and grabbed his Walmart shirt, black ripped jeans, and red converse. Oh dont forget his fingerless gloves!

He walked towards the bathroom and looked at himself in horror, he looked terrible. He sighed defeatedly and turned on the shower water, after taking off his clothes he got in and let out a small squeak from the water being hot. He quickly turned it down and sighed starting to wash off.

Keith then finished getting ready and tied his soaking wet hair into a ponytail, he started on his way to work like every other day.

As soon as Keith got there he was greeted by another Walmart employee, their name was Pidge. "Hey there Keith!" they waved with a small smile "Hey Pidge" he waved back and let a small smile appear on his face, inside it was forced but over the years he had managed to make it look genuine.

"Well.. Ive got to get to work but maybe we can go get pizza later" he put two fingers against his forehead and extended his arm out saluting Pidge and walked off to the registers.

He mostly had cashier duty but every other day he would have to clean up the isles and make everything look presentable, cleaning up any mess someone had 'accidentally' made.

Keith honestly hated the cashier shift the worst. He hated socializing and faking smiles all the time, even though he was used to it he was tired of smiling. He barley even gave a real smile anymore.

After for what seemed like days Keith finally found an interest in someone, he was tall and had the most soft looking brunette hair. Keith was always weird he would remember features of people easily and this one stuck into his mind.

Keith then noticed blue eyes, he felt his cheeks get warm but shrugged it off as nothing and started sliding the items across the scanner. "Hey there how are you?" he asked like every other time, he forced a small smile towards the boy as he started packing the items into the plastic bags. The rustling of them could be very annoying but Keith got used to it.

Lance- the customer gave a cheery smile "Im doing great! And you?" he asked, Lance was always caring about others even though a lot of people called him self centered. Keith just looked at him in disbelief, no one had said that in ages. Boy was this one special.

Keith was a bit taken aback "I-Im good" he said scanning the last item across the scanner. "Thatll be $20.25, cash or card?" he asked slightly raising his brow as he did so.

"Card" Lance answered simply but then smirked a bit "Is there a code red?" he asked and Keith looked at him in pure confusion "Um wh-what..?" Keith said scratching the back of his neck "Because man you are hot." Lance smirked and winked Keith immediately tensed up and blushed deeply at the sudden interaction.

Lance just kept his smirk as he swiped his card, he wrote his name down on the screen and smiled sweetly at Keiths flustered state.

Keith printed the receipt and handed it to him "H-have a nice day.." he said still flustered. Keith noticed Lance reach into his pocket and get something out, Lance grabbed the receipt and exchanged it with a small business-looking like card, Keith looked at it questionably until he saw a number.

Keith instantly blushed heavier as Lance mouthed the words 'Call me' and winked. Lance mustve noticed his name tag because as Lance grabbed his stuff "You have a nice day too, Keith." he said with a small smirk and walking off.

Keith was so flustered by this- the whole day he could barley function. Once he went into the break room he saw Pidge on their laptop, they barley noticed him but he sat beside them. "Hey Pidge, whatcha doing?" he asked leaning in towards their computer screen "Back up man- Im busy." they said with a small scowl.

Keith frowned "Are we still up for pizza?" he asked and crossed his arms looking at them. They nodded and gave a thumbs up "Yeah, after your shift? Mines over." they said now closing their laptop and sliding it away.

Keith nods "Yeah, I just got about 30 minutes or so.." he said scratching the back of his head and standing up "Ill be back I still have some isles to run through and clean up." he said with a small soft smile, or course Keith faked it but when outside with a small wave.

Keith cleaned up a few messy isles, mostly food isles. After that he came back into the break room seeing Pidge on their phone. "Hey my shift is done" he said grabbing a school bookbag. Keith was still in school but he was in his senior year so it would be over soon. All the stress at least

Pidge nodded and stood up putting their phone into their back pocket "Yeah lets go" they said also grabbing their school bag as well and headed out the back of the store where all the employees obviously come and go from.

Pidge couldnt drive so Keith was always the one to take them anywhere. Pidge was only 16 very close to getting their license, but frankly Keith didnt trust them with his car. He had spent about a year saving up for it

Keith got into the car and so did Pidge on their way to a pizzeria, Keith stayed quiet and so did Pidge, but it really didnt matter Pidge was on their phone anyways and Keith concentrated on the road.

Pidge then spoke up "Hey hope you dont mind, I invited a friend of mine, hes a senior like you and hes pretty cool."

"Wait- you did what?" Keith asked furrowing his brows and taking a glance over at them "You couldve asked me first." he said fixing his eyes on the road again.

"Yeah I know but he was complaining about being bored and invited him. Too late now so deal with it Keithy-boy." they said still looking through their phone.

Keith sighed heavily as he had no choice, he rolled his eyes at Pidges ignorance and straight forwardness. Soon hed get to meet this guy she was talking about and he was not excited at all!
