My Sunshine(discontinued)

2

I nodded my head to Duane, Rick, and Morgan.

"Good luck with that boyfriend of yours, Keith. Make sure he doesn't end up blowing something up." Morgan said, laughing. I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, I got it. I'll tell Lance you said hi." He grabbed my hand before I could walk away.

"When will that boy propose already?" He asked me seriously. I could feel my face turning bright red.

"W-what?!" I tried to glare at Rick who was chuckling, but it didn't work. I was too flustered. "Why would you ask me something like that? I'm only 16!"

His face changed from one of playfulness to something I couldn't read. "In this world, it's never too early."

I nodded and he let go of me. I shook hands with Rick. "It was nice getting to know you, kid. Hopefully we'll see each other again. You'll have to introduce me to that boyfriend of yours." He winked at me. "Who knows, maybe the next time you see me you'll be a McClain."

I blushed deeply at those words and glared at him. Duane ran to me and hugged me tightly, the impact of his body slamming into mine knocking the breath out of me.

"Bye Keith..." He mumbled into my shirt. I let a tiny smile dance on my face and hugged him back.

"Bye Little Wayne." He giggled when I used his nickname.

"I love you, Keith." I froze when those words left his lips and Rick and Morgan exchanged a look when they saw the shock on my face. I softened my expression and hugged Duane tighter.

"I love you too, little brother."

I've always wanted a little brother. Someone who would look up to me. Instead of down at me. I've never had that sort of relationship with anybody until now. Funny how it took the end of the world for that to happen.

I waved goodbye to them and walked away. Into the trees. Towards Atlanta. To my group.

I finally reached our camp and looked around. There was nothing. Nobody was here. I started to panic until I heard movement behind me. I quickly turned around and my brain flooded with relief.

There they were. My group. My brother Shiro walked with both hands on his gun, ready to fire if something went wrong. Matt walked just behind him with an axe in his hand. Pidge kept one hand on the knife in her belt.  Lance held his shotgun. Lotor had an arrow loaded into his crossbow, his eyes not focusing on one thing at a time.

Wait.. Where is Allura? She should be right next to her husband Shiro. What about Coran? I can't find his bright orange moustache. There's no Hunk either.

Pidge suddenly looked up and our eyes met. "Keith!!" She yelled, running to me. I open my arms and she slammed into me, crushing my ribcage with her  hug. Lance joined us soon after and pushed Pidge away from me, looking over my face. He was already crying, tears running down his face like a waterfall.

"I thought you were dead.." He sobbed. "You were only supposed to be gone for four or five days. Its been two weeks."

"I'm sorry. I ran into a lot of shit out there." I looked around. "Where's Allura? I want to see my sister." I tried to walk past Lance, but he grabbed my elbow. I looked at him and my stomach dropped.

"She's gone Keith. She died a week ago." Shiro said.

"How?" I asked him. He looked up and looked me in the eyes. What I saw broke my heart. He looked like he was in so much pain... I rushed to my brother and hugged him.

"She was bit." He mumbled. "Her forearm. I cut off her arm to try to save her but she bled out."

I stood there in shock, trying to absorb this information. Lotor spoke up.

"We lost Coran too. He got shot by another group of survivors."

"Hunk is also dead." Pidge told me, on the verge of tears. "He helped us get away from a herd. Helped us over a fence. It was a really tall fence too. He got swarmed before he could climb after us."

I fell to my knees, shock making it so I wasn't able to stand. Lance sighed and picked me up bridal style. I buried my face into his chest and forced myself not to cry. I breathed in the scent of my boyfriend and relaxed. He held me closer and I fell asleep for the first time in four days.

"Sunshine~" 

I woke up to the sound of my boyfriend's voice. I opened my eyes and looked around. We were in tents and it was night. I was squished in a large sleeping bag with lance.

"Hi." He said with a smile. I rolled my eyes.

"Will you stop calling me that?" I asked him, annoyed. "I hate that nickname."

"But you are my sunshine~" I sighed with a tiny smile as he started to sing softly in my ear.

"My only sunshine~

You make me happy~

When skies are grey~

You'll never know, dear~

How much I love you~

So please don't take my sunshine away~"

"I love you so much, Lance." I said, burying my face in his chest and breathing in the smell of my boyfriend. He always smelled so amazing.

"I love you more, sunshine."
