Fourteen Days

Pinky Promise

Day 1

"Don't look at me, I won't look at you."

"Agreed."

Keith took off his shirt and we both turned around so we were back to back. I got undressed, tossing my clothes out of the bathroom. Keith did the same. I looked at his face and only his face, "We tell no one about this." He says, his face was bright red. I nod in agreement and we step into the shower. Thankfully Altean showers are pretty big and have more than one shower head. I stay to the one of the left. "This is the weirdest thing I've ever done." I laugh and adjust the temperature.

"Same here, the only other person I've showered with is Shiro." He laughed, I stopped and turned around. "You've showered with Shiro?" I stifle a laugh. Keith turned around, covering himself, "Dont twist my words." He grumbled. I smirked, raising a brow, "I always saw you and Shiro as more of a brotherly love type, guess I was wrong." I turned and let the water hit my hair. Keith scoffed, "Why do you have to be such a pervert?" He rolled his eyes and faced the wall as the water poured down his face.

"I'm not the one who showered with my brother," I mumble. Keith growled, "He's not my brother and it wasn't like that!" He yelled in my face, "Gosh, can't you just for one second not be annoying!" I held up my hands defensively and turned to the shower again. Keith exhaled loudly and turned. I smiled, opening one eye and glancing over at him, "Well if you've showered with him then you have to know how big his-"

Keith shoved me against the wall, "Shut! Up!" He jabbed his finger into my chest with each word. I stared down at his face, an inch away from mine. Suddenly his face was bright red and he looked from my face to where his finger was on my chest. "I'm very uncomfortable and our dicks are like an inch from touching each other. " I say, averting my eyes to the corner of the shower. He jumped back, extending the slack between our cuffs and side-stepping far away from me. The rest of the shower was silent.

"Your bed or mine?" I ask, pulling my sweatpants up over my hips, Keith was in the bathroom putting his clothes on. "Yours is fine." He said before exiting the bathroom, using a towel to dry his hair. He was only in sweatpants, like me. I crossed my arms over my chest, "Well one of us is going to have to change." Keith rolled his eyes. He hasn't said hardly anything since the shower, just has this stern angry look on his face. Not very out of the ordinary, but if I'm going to be cuffed to him, id at least like to have a conversation. We were already in my room. "I've got an extra pillow you can use," I said, tossing it onto my bed.

Keith was still quiet, something had to be bothering him. I hope it wasn't the thing in the shower, i was only joking around. "You want to go get some goo before we sleep?" I suggest. He was facing away from me, looking at the bed. Keith shrugged, "Where you go, I go." I shrug back and walk over to my bed, flopping back on it, accidentally jerking Keith forward.

"Oops," I laugh and smile at him. He just glares in annoyance. He sat down on my bed beside me, staring at the wall. I chewed my lip, my stubbornness was telling me not to.

"I'm sorry," I say quickly, "for the things i said in the shower." Keith jerks his head around and stares down at my face, squinting skeptically at me. He probably thinks I'm joking again. "I mean it," I add on, sitting up on my elbows. He still doesn't seem convinced.  I roll my eyes and hold out my pinky, "I pinky promise i mean it." Its something i used to do with my little siblings. A smile hints at the corner of Keiths lips and he locks his pinky with mine. "It's cool." He laughs and rolls his eyes playfully. I jump up and criss-cross my legs like him. He turns and faces me.

"Can I ask you something?" I ask, wiping a few water drops off the back of my neck. "Shoot." He shrugs, pulling the pillow I had given him into his lap. "What's up with you and Shiro? You're not related, but you seem to care about him a lot more than just a friend." Keith thought for a moment. He shrugged, "I don't know, hes like a brother. He was there when no one else was. And he was like a mentor, my dad ditched me when I was like 12, Shiro was there for me."

I nodded, then yawned, making Keith yawn. "I honestly thought you guys like... had a thing." I said with a smirk. Keith shook his head, "Yeah, Shiro's super straight." he laughed. I smiled, then my face got red. "Okay, i know this will sound really weird but, i need you to get out." Keith raised a brow, "Um, why?" I shook my head, "It's kind of personal." I say, awkwardly scratching the back of my neck. Keith shrugged, "Yeah I guess."

We stood up off the bed, walking towards the door. I opened it and Keith stepped outside. i closed the door, Holding my wrist against it. I took a deep breath and dropped down to my knees.

"Hi Mama," I exhaled, "Today has been wild, I got handcuffed to that mullet boy, Keith. Its been he- not fun, sorry. We're supposed to be bonding, but i doubt we will. We're alone on the castle for 2 weeks... I miss you, but you already know that. And i know you miss me, and i promise that as soon as we save the universe, ill be home to help you with dinner and the twins. Just wait up on me. Te quiero, mama." I kiss my palm and stand up.

I open the door to see Keith crossing his arms over his chest with a smirk. He walked in, "Had to tell your teddy bear goodnight?" He teased. I laughed and shook my head, "No actually I was talking to my mom." Keith's smirk dropped and he opened his mouth to say something else but i held up a hand, "It's fine, don't worry about it." We walked over to my bed again and got back into our spots.

I laid on my side and faced Keith. He did the same, "Can I ask you something?" Keith asked. I knew he would. "Sure." Keith bit his lip, "Is your mom... like passed?" I shook my head and roll onto my back, "Nah, but when i was 10 I went to camp and she told me, 'whenever you miss me, just sit down and talk to me, and when you're done, kiss your palm, and I'll do the same.' So i talk to her every night, she's the most important person in my entire world." I say, staring up at my ceiling and smiling. I close my eyes and try to think of her face and her hugs. It's fuzzy. I open my eyes again and look over at Keith. He was smiling, "That's really sweet." 

"I'm going to sleep," I mumble, sitting up. I push my thumbs into my waistband but pause, "Do you sleep with pants on?" Keith sat up, looking down at my hands and then to me. "Please tell me you don't sleep naked," Keith said. I smirk, "Usually, but I guess tonight I'll keep my undies on." I kick off my sweatpants and roll onto my stomach. Keith was blushing. Slowly, he began pulling his own pants off. Now I was blushing. Keith flips onto his stomach, turning his face to the wall. I sigh and close my eyes.
