[5:30p] lanceylance > hunkeydorey

[5:30p] lanceylance: hey

Lance bit his lip, laying in his bedroom bed. He decided to spend the night back at home. He didn't want to deal with Keith today. His mom had told him to try to work things out with his friends, starting with Hunk.

He didn't mean to do what he did. He was just so angry at everyone and he took it out on his best friend. He took it out on all of his friends. Now he had to fix it.

[5:35p] hunkydorey: hi

Lance gasped in shock. He wasn't expecting a response…

[5:36p] lanceylance: ...how r u?

[5:36p] hunkydorey: I've been better

[5:36p] lanceylance: yeah...me too

[5:37p] hunkydorey: look, whatever you gotta say, just say it

[5:37p] lanceylance: Hunk…

[5:37p] lanceylance: there aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe how sorry I am

[5:37p] lanceylance: I don't know what came over me

[5:38p] lanceylance: I just...I was super sensitive about being ignored yesterday

[5:38p] lanceylance: and with my love life and everything else going on

[5:38p] lanceylance: I just took it out on you guys

[5:38p] lanceylance: but, still, what I did to you was unforgivable

[5:38p] lanceylance: so...I understand if you don't wanna be my friend anymore

[5:39p] lanceylance: I won't hate you for it

[5:39p] lanceylance: I just want you to know…

[5:39p] lanceylance: that you are the best best friend I've ever had

[5:40p] lanceylance: no one could ever compare to you

[5:40p] lanceylance: E V E R

[5:40p] lanceylance: and I'm sorry that I've been the worst best friend to you and…

[5:40p] lanceylance: i woll msis you as mu nsrw frisnd!

[5:41p] lanceylance: ill meud yeu so mrub!

[5:41p] lanceylance: ik os Orty, Hydn#

At this point, Lance couldn't even see the screen, his eyes were so blurry with tears. He put his phone down and covered his face with his hands. He couldn't control his sobs and soon enough, there was a knock on the door.

“Lance? Dinner is-"

The door opened to reveal Lance's father, who gave his son a concerned look. Lance had no idea he was there and continued sobbing. Joseph walked into the room, sat down on the bed next to Lance, and wrapped him in his arms, laying Lance's head on his chest.

Lance recognized his father’s body and clung onto his shirt, continuing to weep, his body shaking with sobs.

It took him a few minutes to calm down. He sniffled as he started to push himself up a little.

“Papá?” Lance asked, rubbing his eyes.

“Yes, Lance?” he replied quietly, running his hands through Lance's hair.

Lance remained quiet and leaned on his father’s chest.

“Lance, I want you to know that I love you, no matter what,” Joseph told him. “I don't care about your sexuality. I'm so proud of you. I'm so proud to call you my son. I'm so sorry for everything I said before...I just...I wasn't prepared for that.”

Joseph kissed Lance's forehead.

“Apology accepted,” Lance smiled, “I love you too, papá.”

Lance hugged his dad before his cell started ringing and Lance panicked.

“Oh God, it's Hunk…” Lance worried, chewing his lip. “What do I do?”

“Answer it,” Joseph told him. “You can get through this. I believe in you.”

Joseph stood up and left the room as Lance looked at his phone, contemplating on answering the phone.

After letting it ring once more, he answered it with a voice cracking, “hello?”

“...hey, it's Hunk,” greeted Hunk. “Did you get my messages?”

“Sorry, my dad came in and we made up and everything, so...yeah, no, I didn’t get them.”

“Oh, that's great, Lance.”

Lance could hear the smile in his voice. “Thanks.”

It was quiet for a moment before Lance spoke up again. “I'm sorry, Hunk...you deserve so much better-"

“It's alright, Lance, you were angry, I get it-"

“That doesn't give me the right to-" Lance was interrupted by a heavy sob, tears falling down his face again. “Y-you didn't deserve that, Hunk. I-I wish I c-could go back a-and fix it. *sniffle* I d-d-didn’t m-m-mean to m-make you c-c-cry! I was just so...s-s-so upset a-and I w-wasn't thinking correctly a-a-and-" he was interrupted again by a heavier sob.

Hunk took over. “Lance, you had every right to be upset. We ignored you again without even realizing it. I should've noticed...should've done something...but I didn't and now we're here. I've been a bad best friend and-"

“N-n-no, I'm the w-w-worst b-best friend in the histo-ory of be-est friends,” Lance hiccupped and wiped his tears.

“Heh, we were both pretty bad best friends,” Hunk chuckled sadly.

Lance joined in and suddenly, both of them were a chuckling mess. They laughed and laughed for a good five minutes before they both calmed down.

“So...we cool?” Lance asked nervously.

“Yeah, we’re cool,” Hunk replied, a happier tone in his voice. “And...I'm gonna do better with being your best friend.”

“Yeah...me too,” Lance sighed. “What do I say to the others?”

“Honestly, you can just send out a huge apology to the groupchat. I'm sure they'd forgive you and apologize too.”

“Okay...oh, and Hunk?”

“Yeah?”

“I love you, bro. No homo.”

“I love you too, bro. No homo.”

Lance chuckled before saying his goodbye and hanging up. He smiled, happy to have his best friend back. Wiping the last of his tears, he walked down to the dining room to have dinner with his family.
