HE follows no PATH》《Instead he makes his OWN
Lance is showering one morning when he notices a tattoo on his body that he's quite sure he doesn't remember getting. What is it, how did he get it, and what does it mean?
And who would have thought that...
"So as you see the cafeteria is to the right and the toilets are to the left, be sure to remember. Even if you don't you have me, pidge or hunk to help...erm, Keith? Lance turned to Keith, who was watching earnestly the other students that walked in front of them. The taller one waved in front of his face to get his attention. Keith jumped a bit at the gesture and then glared at him.
"What? I didn't do anything; you are the one who wasn't paying attention!"
"Hmph!" Keith grunted harshly at him. "Just, continue. It is not like I am any bit interested but I need to know every part of this building."
"Wow so serious there mullet head!" mocked Lance, earning a second glare from him, a bit stronger than the first.
"Say that again, and I'll stick your foot up to your throat!" Keith glowered, anger showing in his grayish eyes. Lance gulped, knowing that he had got a nerve of the shorter one.
"You little thing can be harsh like pidge as I can see." Lance continued to walk slowly in front of him.
But that didn't stop him.
"Aaand as you heard me once I can say it again!" He looked at Keith, anger now coming to his face, making him a bit reddish.
"You mother-" Keith was interrupted by someone slamming the wall behind them with their fist.
The other students turned their attention at the commotion that the boys caused.
"Are they fighting?"
"Oh look its McClain and... who's that other kid?"
More and more students were coming closer to see what was happening and so it became a huge crowd, where some would call their names, some would scream "fight" nonstop, and others just stood there.
But at one moment all of them stopped screaming, making the two boys, which now were ready to punch each other get up.
"Look at this beautiful sight. McClain, what are you doing, causing a commotion in the hall? They turned their heads slowly around "And you!..You must be that new kid? Well...If you want detention this much since your first day here, you can continue with the ruckus!" Iverson said in arasping tone.
"N-no s-sir!" Lance uttered, while Keith was seeing the both of them questionably.
"The hell is he?" Keith whispered to Lance
"Erm...Iverson...one of our teachers?"He mumbled. Keith then sighed; waiting to see were this conversation was going.
He didn't have to wait that long exactly. He was sitting out of the principal's door, next to the most idiot person in this school.
"Why in the holy hell should I be here? Care to explain mister whatever your name was!? He glared at the boy next to him. Lance didn't move, only hummed some kind of song that was making the other calm down.
From the other side of the door could be heard Iverson's harsh voice, Miss Emma's, trying to calm the man down and... a slight laughter. Then the laughter stopped. Why? Well because the door was kicked open, by what it looked like the principal.
"Oh Lance, what a beautiful coincidence, seeing you for the second time today!"
"But there can't be another time, or you'll never see this school again"
Lance lowered his face, which made Keith have a slight facial change for the first time. He could feel that moment, since something similar happened to him. Not that he would care, because it wasn't like he would see the boy again. Was he?
That gut feeling he had before was getting bigger
"Or so, that's what Iverson said!" She smiled at Keith, moving her eyes to Lance, seeing as he lifted his head and grinned at her.
"Thank you so much miss!"
"Your mother would be sad if you got expelled again Lance" She chuckled at him.
Keith was just sitting there, seeing them talk happily, like they knew each other. Emma looked at him and smiled, something that made him shiver a bit. How could she hide everything like that?
Then Iverson got out, glaring at the two boys, not saying anything as he turned to the opposite direction and walked past Shiro, as he got out of the room.

(Just for info, Shiro has long sleeves, that's why lancey boy doesn't pay much attention to him, thinking he's somebody from the army maybe)
"So here they are! Aren't they so friendly Emmanuel" He smiled at her, earning a laughter and some glares from the kids.
Then something clicked for Keith. Emmanuel? As in Emmanuella Stans? That woman was the one who was in front of Keith.
"Oh shi-sorry, I just didn't recognize you m'am!" Keith got up faster than anyone could and just stood there like a soldier. Lance was looking at Keith, and then at Emma, and then at the other man with a lateral scar across the bridge of his nose and part of his black hair white.
"Oh don't be Keithy boy. You just have grown so much. Such a handsome man, like your mentor here!" "Mentor?" questioned Lance
She then realized "Oh Lance, now you can go, as in go in the detention room, no more classes for you for the rest of the day" "B-but miss, that's too much-" "Ah- ah, no, no, you deserve it Lance! That's what you get for what you did today!"
"Now leave, or I'll double it!"She teased
"I'm going" groaned Lance
"Isn't he just like her, stubborn and foolish?" She remarked and observed as Lance stumbled while walking past them, cursing as he hurt his foot.
