Chapter 5: The Holts.
Matt's POV
I picked up the key that was hidden under the doormat. Tossing it up into the air before catching it,I grinned at both Shiro and Katie. I put the key into the lock and turned it,waiting for the click before pushing the door open.
"Mom! Dad! We're-" I could barely even finish my sentence before I felt someone hugging me.
"Where the hell were you guys?! Your father and I were worried sick! You could have gotten lost,or kidnapped! We thought that somebody took you,picked you up off of the streets! You could have been killed,or..." I placed a hand against my mother's shoulder to calm her down.
"Mom,we're fine. See? I'm here,and Katie." I grinned,then looked up at Shiro. "You remember Takashi,right? And you remember my mother,don't you,Shiro?"
"It's nice to see you again,Mrs. Holt." Shiro nodded as he extended his non-robotic hand. My mother shook it,and I smiled before shutting the door once again. "Katie,take Shiro upstairs,alright? I'll be up in a minute or two."
Before I could get an answer I turned and jogged into the kitchen.
Pidge's POV
I threw my arms around my mother in an apologetic hug,before pulling away and smiling innocently. I'm just glad that she didn't notice that I was wearing Matt's...
"Katie. Where are you own glasses?"
Fuck me.
"I,um...left them here?" I started slowly,not very sure of myself. I rubbed the back of my neck with my hand. "And Matt let me wear his because,um,h-he wanted to use contacts instead! Yeah,contacts! Because he-" Shiro took a small step forward and lowered his head a bit,closing his eyes.
"I apologize,Mrs.Holt. I accidentally broke Katie's glasses. I bumped into her and they fell,breaking when they hit the ground. I can pay to get her new ones,it won't be a problem at all. I sincerely apologize." He said calmly.
I grabbed ahold of his hand and gulped,looking down. My heartbeat seemed to quicken,though I didn't understand why. I mentally told myself to shut up,in which I grunted. I glanced up at my mother,gave a slightly nervous grin,before pulling the male up the stairs.
I led him into Matt's bedroom and closed the door once we were both inside. I turned on my heel,placing my hands on my hips as I put all of my weight on one foot. "Um,what was that?" I asked with a small eyebrow raise. He blinked once,just looking at me as if nothing had even happened. I huffed and stomped my foot.
"Earth to Takashi! Helloooooo!" I waved my hand in front of his face,and he blinked a few times again. A purple glow seemed to slowly appear in the metallic arm of his. He blushed a bit as he shrugged,though smiled. "You were acting nervous. I just improvised." He spoke.
Right when I was about to ask another question,Matt burst through the door with no shirt on,holding his phone. "HI,WELCOME TO CHILI'S!" He screamed,kicking the door shut before jumping into his spinny chair. I snorted before quickly covering my mouth,blushing a bit. I didn't like my laugh at all. And when I snorted,it just made it worse.
Matt looked at me and chuckled,spinning before turning to Shiro. "So what should we do now that we're home,guys?" He asked,not even bothering to put on a shirt. I cringed a bit.
"Firstly,put on a shirt,you dork."
"You can't make me!"
"Oh yeah? What if I force you?"
"Then I will SCREAM YOUR NICKNAME."
"You wouldn't dare-"
"OH I FUCKIN WILL."
I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes. "You're bluffing,Matt." I snatched a shirt from his floor,rolling it up a bit before attempting to pull it down over his head. He hissed and inhaled.
"PIDGE GUNDERSON STOP IT NOW!"
I instantly let go of the shirt,and glared at his smirking face. I punched him in the arm and he whined. "You're such an asshole!" I sighed. I plopped down onto the ground,extending my legs,since it was the only comfortable position to sit in while wearing a dress.
Matt leaned forward and placed his hands against his knees. "Hey Shiro,how's Keith doing? Anything new or interesting?"
"Keith?" I asked,tilting my head to the side. The two boys looked at me before smiling.
"Keith is my brother. Well,sort of. I actually live with him and his mother." Shiro explained with a light laugh,before turning his attention back to Matt. "He just recently got a pet dog,though. Big dog. He hasn't told me what its name is yet,or the breed."
"A dog? He seems more like a cat person." Matt exclaimed,before returning his attention back to me. I shrunk down a bit as he patted my shoulder. "Oh,and don't you even think of trying to get with Keith. He is very,very gay." He smiled wide,eyes scrunching up as he tried to contain his laughter. I thought Shiro would say something,but he just shook his head with a barely audible laugh. I blushed a bit.
"Hey,I like somebody already!" I said quickly,swatting Matt's hand away from my shoulder. I barely even realized what I said until the other two fell silent,staring at me. Matt quickly jumped out of his chair,bolting for the door.
"MOM! DAD! KATIE'S IN LOVE~!" He screamed,and I quickly jumped up from my spot on the floor. I turned to run after him,before I paused and looked towards Shiro.
He looked...sad?
