Chapter 6: Day One

Keith's P.O.V

I wasn't in my normal seat. Because I was so late to class someone took it, but that meant it freed up the table next to Lance so Pidge took her seat over there instead, leaving me to sit next to Lance. I wasn't too bothered, it was just weird when Mr Coran asked me why I wasn't sitting at the front, in front of the entire class so everyone could hear.

I was embarrassed and Lance thought it was pretty funny himself but kept himself from laughing. Mr Coran was one of the most 'chill' teachers in the school. His orange hair and curly moustache left a big impression on everyone, especially when he began talking about his life and forgot to teach the class. A lot of people choose him as their favourite teacher for that since they only spend half their time in class learning something important from him.

"Hey, it's fine right?" Lance asks softly and I turn my gaze to him.

"What do you mean?" I turn away again and start taking down the notes on the board when a hand rests on mine, stopping my movements. I frown and turn my gaze back to Lance.

"You sitting with us, up the back I mean. You can still see the board okay?" I cock my head confused at Lance when I notice the genuinely caring gaze on his face.

"Of course I can. Why would I be able to?" I ask innocently and Lance sighs in relief.

"Well I assumed you sat up the front because you couldn't see the board properly, but I guess it was just because you are a teachers pet." Lance chuckles and lets my hand go, upsetting me.

"Swap seats." I mumble softly and Lance stares at me confused.

"Why?" My eyes widen and I shake my head.

"I-I want to hold your hand but work at the same time. I'm left handed and you're right. I-if we swap seats you can hold my right hand." I mumble awkwardly. I watched as Lance's face slowly turned red and I began to wonder if he was going to explode when he moved and swapped out entire chairs and then our books, before taking my right hand in his.

"You are too cute." He sighs and rests his head on my shoulder. I smile softly before concentrating on my work again.

I knew if I were to tell Shiro about this, I would never hear the end of it. I needed to keep this from him. Even before everything he was always worrying, but this is only going to make things worse. Now that Shiro knows I'm Spiderman and I know that Lance is Deadpool, things are going to be weird.

I feel bad, keeping Lance out of the loop about Spiderman, but I guess I can see how true Lance's advances are on Spiderman when we go on our next patrol. But then— there's a part of me saying that what if Lance does know. With the jokes about me punching like Spiderman, what if he does think I'm Spiderman. I mean, of course I know who he is, but what if he connects the dots and realises that I know because I saw him this morning?!

"Keith!" A low whispered yell shocks me out of my thoughts and I turn to see Pidge ready to throw a pencil at me.

"What?" I whisper back. Pidge sighs and relaxes in her seat, making sure Mr Coran isn't looking before leaning over.

"Does Shiro know about him?" I frown and turn back to Lance who is snoozing softly on my shoulder with a death grip on my hand. I shake my head softly,

"Pidge, you can't tell him. If he found out, I don't know what he'd do. He's protective over me for a reason." Pidge frowns, a worried look on her face.

"Keith, is he serious about you? Yesterday he was just talking about you like you were a fu—" I growl softly, cutting Pidge off.

"I know what he said Pidge. But he's already acting different to last night. I don't even know what we are right now; if we are close friends or if we are d-d-dat— that thing." I sigh softly and go back to taking notes, not wanting to talk about this with someone that is sleeping with my brother.
