A Loving Hatred

Breakfast Time

It was early in the morning. None of the other Paladins were awake yet, but Keith was. He had been up all night contemplating whether or not he was going to confess his feelings towards Lance or keep his trap shut. Even if he did choose to tell Lance his feelings, how would he do it without making it awkward. Keith knew for a fact that Lance was straight. I mean, how could he not be? He was constantly flirting with girls left and right. Keith's mind was still racing when he got up. He sat on the side of his bed, staring at the floor. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. His door slid open and there stood Allura.

"Time to eat! Hunk made breakfast!" she exclaimed. Keith, still staring at the floor, let out a tired "mmk". Allura looked at Keith with worry.

"What's the matter Keith?"

"Nothing," Keith let out quietly, "I'm fine."

"Are you sure Keith? It seems like something is bothering yo-" Allura was cut off.

"I SAID IM FINE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Keith yelled. Allura was slightly taken back by Keith's sudden outburst.

"I'm sorry Allura," Keith said, "it's just, something's been going on and I don't really know how I'm going to fix it."

"It's ok Keith," Allura said with forgiveness, "just know that what ever is bothering, you can come talk to me about."

"Thanks Allura." Keith said.

With that, Allura exited Keith's room, moving to Lance's room, the neighboring room to Keith's.

Keith exited his room, heading towards the dining hall for breakfast. What ever they were having smelt good. Keith poked his head through the opening to the dining hall and saw that Pidge, Hunk, Shiro, Coran, and Allura were already seated at the table. Keith was about to walk into the dining hall when he realized that Lance wasn't there. Keith turned around to see if he could spot him when Lance ran right into him, causing Keith to fall on his back with Lance landing right on top of him. Lance and Keith looked at each other, both red in embarrassment. The room was dead silent and the tension in the air was so thick, you could cut it with a knife. Lance and Keith both scrambled up, still red after what just happened.

"Idiot.", Keith mumbled under his breath. Pidge, Shiro, and Allura all had to hold back from dying of laughter. After Shiro collected himself, he calmly asked if Keith and Lance wanted any pancakes.

"Pancakes?! Sounds delicious!" Lance exclaimed, acting as if the fall never happened.

Keith was still quite embarrassed about what had just happened, but he shook it off and went to eat his breakfast. While he was eating, the only thing he had on his mind was what he might have done if everyone else wasn't in the room when Lance ran into him.

Suddenly, there was large THUNK. Hunk had accidentally knocked over a bowl, causing Keith to snap out of his day dream and sadly return to reality.
