My name is Lance. Somewhere in this world two people have my name written on their wrist. That's because I'm someone's worst enemy and someone's soulmate. Everyone has these two names on their wrist, not knowing which is which. Some people have found one or both and some, like me, have found neither.

There's another thing. I'm different from most people in that my enemy and my soulmate are the same person.

Keith Kogane.

That's who my wrists tell me I'll both love and hate with infuriating passion. Or whatever. I've had 17 years of my life to think about it, and yet I can't be bothered with it anymore. Whatever happens when I meet this 'Keith Kogane' guy happens.

Maybe we'll hate each other and I won't have a soulmate. That's fine, there's plenty of gorgeous people in this world to have instead, and many people don't want a soulmate or never find their soulmate, so I'd surely find someone.

Do I want me and Keith to like each other? Of course. Do I care if we don't? Not really. Like I said, Whatever happens, happens.

—————Keith POV

Lance McClain and Lotor Galtean.

My enemy and my soulmate. My soulmate and my enemy. Who knows which is which?

Maybe I'll find one of them at my new school. I hope not. I don't need any more drastic changes in my life right now, I'm already transferring to this new hell hole they call boarding school.

It's not even my fault I punched Mr. Iverson really. He walked into my fist!

I didn't mind Garrison Academy, but this place looks way worse. As I park my motorcycle, I see the boarding houses. Some of the lights are still on, but it's almost 1am, I stopped at Denny's for a good 3 hours so no one would bother me!

A teacher shows me where I'll sleep and informs me that I'm sharing my room with one other person, but there's 3 spare beds in the dorm. I would rather sleep outside than share.

I walk up the stairs and I'm greeted at the top with a slim, half-naked boy, covered by only a towel around his waist, singing vaguely. He sees me, gives me a stare with his eyebrow raised, unbothered by his lack of clothing, then flings open the door to his room and shouts "HIT IT FERGIE!"

I hear another guy with a much deeper voice continue the song as I walk away, already hating his room and roommate and classing it as a no-go zone.

My dorm, two doors down, seems much quieter. I open the door to a dim light and a guy who seems a lot older than me on his bed, cross legged, writing something on his computer. He hears me come in and looks up.

"Keith Kogane, right?" He says, friendly but not full-on.
"Yeah, hi." I don't bother to ask his name, and throw my bags on the floor, starting to change.

"I'm Takashi Shirogane, but you can call me Shiro. Most people do. I'm the head of the house so ask if you need anything."

"Thanks," I said climbing into my new bed. I'd unpack tomorrow.

I hadn't realised how tired I was until I started falling asleep. I was drifting off quickly when...

"Shiro heeeelp! There's a spider in our dorm and no one wants to kill it! It's fucking huge!"

I looked up, and it was the shirtless boy from earlier. He was still shirtless, although now he had sweatpants on instead of a towel.

"Fine. But I hope you know you're a wimp, Lance."

Lance. This Lance couldn't be my enemy could he? I mean, I'd met Lances before, but he was especially annoying.

I guess I'd have to wait until I found out his last name.

—————Lotor POV

It was around 2am when Shiro finally left our room and Hunk, Lance and I got into our beds.

The lights were of and there was no noise other than Hunk's snoring, but somehow there was still so much noise in my head.
This was because I could have finally found my sworn enemy.

I felt a bad vibe from that boy as soon as he walked in. I don't know what it was, but as the door closed I caught a glimpse of him and something just seemed off.

Then Shiro made it worse by saying his name was Keith...

Could it be Keith Kogane?

So I may have found my enemy and one of my soulmates at this school. I say one because by some force of nature, I have two.

Allura Altea and Lance McClain.

One of them is in the bed across the room from me.

Lance. Beautiful, funny, charismatic, smart yet clueless Lance. He has no idea that his name is on my wrist. From the day he introduced himself as Lance McClain, I've covered it.

It isn't rare for people to cover their names, and because I have two names on one wrist, it doesn't even look like I covered mine. When he asked, I only told him Keith Kogane and Allura Altea.

He doesn't want to tell me his. I pray with my entire being that it's because I'm one of them, but I feel like he would have told me.

He's not the type to keep secrets like that.
