Klance - Heat

Day 2 - Part 3

Lance was chilling out in the common area when Hunk walked in and sat down next to his best pal and they started reminiscing about their time at the garrison and how they became friends. This was when the topic of Keith came up.
"Lance," Hunk started after a brief pause in their conversation, "why exactly are you and Keith rivals, the guy didn't even know who you were when we rescued Shiro all that time ago?"
"Hunk, the guy was always one upping me!" Lance responded, Hunk giving him an unconvinced look, "Alright fine," he said putting his hands up, "I wanted to be his friend, he seemed cool. But it was like Harry and Draco, I offered friendship, he declined! And then what made it worse was that, yes he was one upping me and it seemed like he wasn't trying!" Lance was getting more passionate about the subject, "I was actually trying! And then he went and DROPPED OUT! The only reason I got ranked up was because he left. It wasn't by my own achievement, it was because Keith left," Lance looked down sorrowfully, "Then the guy didn't even remember who I was..."
Hunk patted his best friend on the shoulder "I'm sure he remembered you, maybe he was too embarrassed to show it!" Hunk chuckled, trying to lighten Lance's mood, "maybe Keith has a crush on you and pretends he doesn't know you to protect himself," both of them were laughing now.
"As if I'd date Keith!" Lance laughed, "Imagine that, he'd be brooding all the time! I need love not moodiness!" Now they were both laughing, Lance doing an inaccurate impression of Keith, Hunk just laughing along.
Pidge walked in on them, "What're you guys laughing about?" She questioned, wanting to be in on the joke. They told her and she was soon laughing too.

Little did they know Keith was standing just outside the door on his way to the kitchen.

HI MUM!
