Chapter 16

"And this years valentines queen is..." The thought of Lance dancing with someone else tore Keith apart. Keith had always been insecure about losing people. Keith had such low self esteem he's surprised when people actually want to be he his friend yet alone his boyfriend. Keith tried to play it call but it was like time had been slown down. He looked at the stage. He saw his brother, his boyfriend and then Allura. "... Nyma!" For both of the boys Keith and lance, the sound disappeared. All they could see was the crowd swinging their arms around and smiling. Lance used to have crazy feelings for Nyma but she always turned him down in the most harsh way possible, and now? Lance was expected to dance with her infront of the entire school when he was dating Keith?
Keith didn't even know if he could stay long enough to watch. Nyma made her way up onto the stage smiling and cheering. She made her way to Lance, smoothly pecking him on the cheek. What was Lance supposed to do now? He was panicking. His stomach was eating away at him. He put on a small smile that disappeared as he heard the doors close as his boyfriend left the hall. Pidge noticed that Keith had left. "I'm so sorry to cut this short Jordyn, I've just got to go help a friend," pidge smiled releasing Jordyn's hand. Pidge ran after Keith trying to catch up to him. All she could she was a figure turning corners in the distance. Pidge stopped for a second to catch her breath when she realised Keith has stopped. He was just sat on a bench in the park, staring up at the cloudy sky and bedazzling moon. Pidge got herself up and sat next to Keith. Keith faced her for a split second and then turned his head the other way. Pidge attaches her arms around him. Keith didn't know how to respond, Keith never had this sort of friendship before. "It's okay," pidge whispered. "I understand that that wasn't easy for you to watch, and I'm guessing it hurt more knowing Lance used to have feelings for her. But it's okay. It's just some dance. Do you really think Lance would throw away everything you two have for Nyma who he had one dance with her, not to mention Nyma always rejected Lance in the meanest ways."
Keith couldn't help but laugh about that. "Lance loves you, trust me I know, oh and this might be a good time to say I hacked into lances phone many times and read your messages," they both laughed, "and from that I 100% know Lance is serious about you, and he's probably crying to himself in the school toilets right now so we may wanna hurry before he catches a disease from in there!" They both laughed again. "Thanks Pidge," a genuine smile appeared upon Keith's face as he got up and started to walk back towards the school, Pidge at his side.

As they ran towards the school entrance, the nights sky above them, Keith noticed everyone leaving. It would be a nightmare trying to find lance but with no doubt about it he'd still be in the bathroom. "Thanks for everything Pidge but you're free to go now, I'll text you everything that happens later," keith smiled. "Alright buddy, shit I've got to go find Jordyn!" Pidge waved as she ran back down the schools entrance stairs. Keith tried to make his way to the men's room outside the hall. Lance surely would be in there. Keith god shoved and pushed by the people flooding out the hall. Lotor walked past and pushed Keith into the door of the men's bathroom so in a way he helped him? Keith placed his head upon his head in agony since he had hit it on the wall. It was quiet. Lance must've gone quiet when he heard the door open. Keith walked up to the locked toilet and he heard a sniff. Keith sighed to himself, he had nothing to lose. "Lance?" Keith spoke softly. There was no response other than a sniff and a click as lance unlocked the door. Lance looked up at Keith with tears in his eyes. "Im so sorry," Lance cried into his hands. "I shouldn't of let it happen, I shouldn't of let her kiss me, I shouldn't have let her get the best of me..," he continued to cry. Keith placed his arms around him and pulled him into a hug just like Pidge had done to him. "It's okay. You couldn't have done anything else. I'm sorry for being sensitive and letting my anxiety get the best of me, I should've of known it was some stupid dance and not a wedding."
Both of the boys smiled. They hugged each over, letting each over be their pillow. All of a sudden they heard the janitor come to lock the bathrooms. Keith grabbed lances hand and they made their way out of the bathroom, out of the school, and made their way back to Keith's house. The love the boys felt for each over was so strong. Nothing could pull them apart now, not even some silly high school dance such as this. Keith took lance into his house, into his room, where the cuddled the rest of the night away.
