Diary

Prompt: Hey what if: Pidge and Keith are having a truth or dare war and Pidge dares Keith to steal & read her a page from Lance's diary. It actually ends up being sad because it goes into detail about how he's been trying to tell everyone about his de depression but he keeps chickening out. Pidge and Keith freak because they can't ask him or he'll know they read the diary so they have to formulate a plan to help Lance. In the end maybe Keith owns up or something ? Idk love just go off i guess sjsjdj

A/N: So I changed it a little bit because I read it wrong oops lol. The only thing I changed is that Keith doesn't tell Pidge what he read in Lance's diary.

Trigger warnings: depression, implied self-harm

"I dare you to read a page from Lance's diary" Keith shifted uncomfortably.

"I dunno..." he said. "Isn't that like, and invasion of privacy?" he asked. Pidge waved him off.

"This is truth or dare. You choose dare, so you have to do whatever I tell you" Keith sighed and stood up. "Besides, you know all he talks about in there is hot girls he's seen or something. Maybe vivid details of his wet dreams" Pidge grimaced at the suggestion. Keith groaned.

"I hate you so much" he said as he started to leave the room. "If it's gross I'm going to sue you for emotional damage" Keith threatened as he walked out the door. Pidge snickered. Keith sighed when the door closed and headed toward Lance's room. He was pretty sure that Lance was in the hanger with Coran.

It only took Keith a few seconds to find Lance's journal. It was sandwiched between his pillow and the wall next to his bed. Keith sighed and flipped through the pages until he was just past the middle of the book. He closed his eyes and sent a silent prayer that it was not the description of a sex dream.

"Okay," Keith sighed, reading the top of the page. It was dated two weeks ago. "Went on a mission with the team, saw cool space rocks, blah, blah, blah" Keith nodded his head as he read. Maybe Lance's journal wasn't meant for rating girls he's met, but just writing down boring day to day stuff.

Keith continued to scan the page. Lance's handwriting was small and neat. The pages in his journal were packed with his words. He squeezed something into every inch of every line. He even doodles and left notes in the empty spaces on the side. It seemed that Lance spent a lot of time writing in it. Keith felt a little guilty, but he kept reading. He wasn't good at lying, so Pidge would know if he had only read part of it.

It wasn't until Keith was near the bottom of the page that he read something that surprised him. It wasn't very long, just a short footnote at the bottom of the page.

'I almost told them today. I was so close. I have to tell someone soon or I'm afraid I'm going to do something I'll regret. Maybe tomorrow.'

Keith read the two lines over and over, trying to figure out what they meant. What was he going to tell them? What would he do that he'd regret?

Keith furrowed his eyebrows and scanned the next page, completely forgetting about what he told Pidge about the invasion of privacy. There was nothing on the next page, or the next. Keith decided to go back before the page he wrote to find out more. The only thing that he found was a line of text almost a month before the page Keith had read.

'Today was bad. I think it's all getting worse. I don't know what to do'

It was strange, almost like Lance was afraid to write out what he was feeling, what he was thinking. Or did he not want to admit that it was actually happening to him?

Keith flipped through several more pages, going back almost to the beginning of the note book, briefly scanning each page. The question burned in Keith's brain.
