Keith felt like he was in hell. He was so beyond bored without Lance to talk to. Lance had even left the group chat. He groans for what had to be the hundredth time that day. Nearly a week had passed.

Keith sighs and slams his phone onto his desk. Cradling his head in his hands. Tears slipping down his cheeks. He bites his chapped and bloodied bottom lip.

He shakes his head and wipes his tears, standing up. He sighs and balls his hand into a fist, hitting it against the wall.

"GOD DAMMIT!" He screams.

Why did everything have to get ruined? He could've confessed to Lance. He should've.

Lance was full on sobbing on call with Hunk.

"I'm so stupid! I shouldn't have even mentioned Keith when he told me his name! Then I could still be talking to him." Lance sobs out.

Lance was certainly an ugly crier. His face kind of shriveled up and his sobs were really ugly.
