Chapter Two: Well, This Is...



"Interesting," Lance commented, reading the name off the list. "Who the hell is named Keith anymore?"

"Uhh... Keith Urban? Keith Richards?"

"Keith Yandle!" Pidge suggested. Lance couldve gotten whiplash from turning his head around so fast.

"Who?"

"Hes a hocky player? Defense for the Florida Panthers? Seriously- how is it that I know more about sports than you two?"

"Uh, I watch sports, okay? But normal ones, like baseball. And soccer."

"You're so lame. He plays for our state, Lance."

"I don't care. He has a dumb name. Just like my roommate, apparently."

Lance streched out the crick in his neck while they walked to his room. The 5 hour drive had been bumpy, cramped and exhausting- but he got to go on a road trip with his best friend, so he wasn't too unhappy with it.

Pidge had left yesterday with Matt, coming down with their dad- who happened to be a professor at the university- so Hunk and Lance had driven the 350 miles on their own, and pulled into the small Altea parking lot on Hunk's old VW, unloaded their belongings and were now trying to figure out where their rooms were.

"This is... okay. 24B. Im here, and... it looks like 26B is right across from me! Dude, score, we wont be far away at all!"

"Hell yea!" Hunk shouted, holding Lances suitcases in one hand and his in the other, while Lance strugged with the lock. When he finally got it open, he stepped into a blank room with the bare necessities- two beds, a desk, and an en suite. It was pretty fancy, for a college dorm, but with the school itself being as fancy as it was, he figured it made sense.

Lance had Hunk dump his suitcases on the bed- yes, plural, he wasnt going to live like an animal thank you (plus, he didn't want to be doing laundry every day)- and he walked over to Hunks dorm to help him with his things.

When Shiro saw Matt across the courtyard, he ran off to him, leaving Keith alone with a duffle bag on his shoulder and his phone in his hand. He left without telling Shiro. Probably not the best idea, but Keith was tired and wanted to find his room as soon as possible, so he could put his small amount of belongings away and take a nap. Possible meet his roommate.

When he found room 24B, he was a little unnerved to find it unlocked, and even more unnerved to find that there was nobody in the room, however, his roommates things were- two (two? really?) suitcases were sitting on the bed closest to the door, along with a backpack and a laptop case. Who was this guy? With three bags? Who needs that many clothes?

Keith set his duffle on the bed and opened it, putting his shirts and pants and throwing them into the drawer that slid out from underneath his bed.

Just as he settled down onto his bed, ready for a nap, the door burst open and a voice was projected into the room.

"Alright! See you later Hun- oh. Hey! You must by my roommate! Keith, right?"

Keith sat up and saw a boy standing before him, probably around his age. Keith wasn't blind- and he could see that this guy? His roommate? Was hot- like, extremely so. He had caramel colored skin, dark brown hair that fell across his forehead, and extremely sharp nose and jawline, and the deepest, bluest eyes Keith had ever seen.

Keith was absolutely fucked.

"Uh... yea. Hi. Im Keith." He started a bit awkwardly. Why couldn't he ever talk to guys? Why couldn't he ever talk to hot guys? Pull yourself together, Keith.
