Purple Hearts

Chapter 12

"And then he said... 'What kind of guy do you think I am?!'" Matt said, stretched out on the couch. I sat near him, with two girls in my arms on either side of me.

"That's so dumb, Matt. Maybe next time try being more smart when you talk to people." I replied. The two girls beside me chuckled at my response, which made me smirk. Luckily, Matt didn't seem to mind me saying those things about him. He just started talking again.

It's been a long time since I was relaxed like this at a party. Ever since I met Keith I've been so uptight, but those beers helped me change this time.

Keith, on the other hand, was acting weirder than normal. He stood leaned up against a nearby wall while staring daggers at me the whole time. It made me feel weird.

But when the girls laughed with me it seemed Keith had enough. He got off the wall and stood in front of me (still glaring of course). "Lance..." He said as firm as he could muster for being tipsy "What the fuck are you doing?"

"I'm having fun Keith!" I replied "Why don't you try that sometime." I laughed and so did the girls.

Keith growled and grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him. His face was inches away from mine, but his eyes were burning still.

He kept hold of my wrist as he pulled me up the stairs and into one of the bedrooms. He closed the door behind us and stood back in front of me. "Stop fucking lying."

"What do you mean? I wasn't lying to you?" I said.

He stumbled closer to me and put his hand on the wall beside me. It was like he was weakly trying to pin me against the wall. "I thought you *hick* liked me."

It was then that I noticed Keith was a little more than tipsy. He had more to drink than I thought, and it was clear by the way he spoke. This isn't normal Keith.

But I didn't have enough drinks to not be able to control myself. I only had enough to make me relaxed, but I'd be lying if I said the effects of the drinks weren't catching up to me.

"Why did you lie!" Keith said a little louder.

"I didn't lie! I still care about you!" I replied. I paused and considered whether to continue. "I love you..."

Keith moved closer to me so our noses were touching. "I love you too" he mumbled. I could smell the alcohol as he spoke.

I blushed and smiled. "R-Really?!"

He chuckled deeply "Yeah. Why the fuck would I have kissed you, dumbass."

A little of Keith was showing. Not drunk Keith. He knows what he said. He's not just saying his feelings because he's drunk. He is saying them because he wants too! I smiled at that.

"Well then do you want to be my boyfriend?" I asked while smiling.

Keith stared and replied "Why not *hick*"

I laughed a little bit and smiled. I'll make sure to let sober Keith know about this tomorrow, just in case he forgets. But for now I'll be having some fun.

I quickly came closer to Keith and connected my lips with his, and kissed him rougher and better than the first time. Oddly enough, he didn't hesitate to kiss me back with the same passion. I ended up pushing him onto the bed behind him, so I was pinning him down.

I stopped to regain my breath, and Keith did too. He looked at me with wide eyes and blushed. "Never been kissed like that before?" I asked him.

He looked away and slurred. "Pfft... you're the best kisser on the planet..."

I laughed a little and smiled, then proceeded to kiss him more. While we kissed, Keith took my hand and put it on his shirt. I didn't care much, but he started to move my hand down more. "Stop!" I gasped out when we stopped kissing. I pulled my hand away from his grasp and got off of him.

"What's wrong." He mumbled while sitting upright on the bed.

"I'm not doing that! Not yet!" I replied. I tried to sound firm, so he knew I meant it. But it's hard to say no to someone you really love.

He groaned and rolled on the bed. "But I want to!"

"No." I said. "I'm having Shiro take care of you for the rest of the night. I should probably leave anyway."

Keith perked up and frowned. "NoOOoo come on Lance..." He was very whiny. Keith would never be like this if he didn't have something to drink.

"I'm sorry. I'll write to you tomorrow, Keith." I replied as I left the room and closed the door. It honestly killed me to do that. Somewhere deep inside me, I wanted to do that too. But I can't. Not yet at least.

I went downstairs after that and found Shiro. I explained the situation to him (leaving out the part about what Keith did). He understood and went upstairs to get him. Luckily for both of us he was sound asleep on the bed. Shiro said he would take Keith home for me, which I thanked him for.

I went back downstairs and found Hunk and Pidge playing video games. I told them about the situation (Again, leaving out key parts). Then we left. Hunk drove Pidge back to Hillcrest and then starting driving back to the dorm.

"So where were you? I don't remember seeing you anytime after we arrived." Hunk said while he drove.

"I was in the main room." I explained "And then I had to deal with drunk Keith."

"Maybe someone should have taken care of you too." Hunk said.

"Why is that? I'm perfectly fine." I retorted. "A couple beers wouldn't hurt Lance Mclain!"

Hunk smiled. "I guess so. I was worried it would and then you and Keith would do some weird things together."

I quickly looked over at Hunk. "What weird stuff are you talking about?! We didn't do ANYTHING weird together! What are you talking about?!"

Hunk chuckled and focused on the road again. "It's nothing."
