-Keith-
Strangely, yesterday was the most awkward moment of my life.
Lance hugging me like we're on some tv drama wherein this hero hugs the sad heroine out of unconciousness because that's what makes them feel better? That's weird. Also, I am not saying I am the heroine.
People usually don't speak to me at all because I drive them away, and I think that's better than having a lot of friends only to throw you away in the process. I find it hard to attach myself to someone because I have been left by my parents since long ago. Now, I only live with my half brother Shiro who takes care of me.
I might be a star student, an amazing athlete, an aloof guy women crush on, but apart from that I'm a simple nobody trying to help my brother by working part time although it's not allowed in my school. If I'm found out, I'm dead.
"I'm leaving Shiro, I have early training for the track team." I tell Shiro who was eating breakfast.
"Don't forget your lunch." He reminds me so I pick up my lunch from the dining table. I then head off for school.
I usually spend my time alone in the rooftop and just listening to Queen or some pop music back in the seventies. It feels relaxing. But recently, my alone time gets interrupted by a human being called Lance McClain and I really don't want his companionship bugging me. He can be annoying sometimes.
But really, who am I kidding?
I haven't complained about it until now.
As I walk towards the school yard, someone tapped me on the shoulder and it really surprised me, so out of reflex I kicked them from behind. "Ouch! What the hell was that for?" Lance exclaimed, clutching in his tummy and bending due to the irrefutable pain. "Don't surprise me." I told him and moved along as if nothing had happened.
Or so I thought.
"Hey Keith, I was wondering, so I helped you this time. Is there any chance you could do something for me? " He asked and I do not give a damn care in the world. Who dares interrupt my alone time, just striding to the classroom and this guy bugs me about his troubles.
But Keith, the inner consciousness of mine is talking like an angel, don't you remember Lance was also forced to help you because you threatened him?
Good point, inner good consciousness of Keith. Lance has been exceptionally kind to me yesterday, so I'll grant him this one wish so he wouldn't bug me anymore and our ties will be completely cut off.
"Alright Lance, what do you want?" I asked him and he smiled. What the hell, why do I find his smile radiant? The hell is wrong with me?
"I helped you with the letter, and I helped you with your crush, so help me win my ten bucks back and help me with Allura!" Lance exclaimed and my brain exploded into bits. This bastard just wants to flirt!
I put my exploded brain back to pieces and I tried to gain hold of my inner good consciousness left, if there's any.
Calm the fuck down Keith, Lance is just being nice, my good consciousness said. So I took a deep breath and sighed deeply. "Alright fine. But you still have to help me. It will be a very beneficial companionship." I said and he smiled again. What the hell. Where is the light from his smile coming from? Are humans born with flashlights inside them?
"Of course, we're friends!" He said then walked away as if he didn't just call me the 'f' word.
What is a friend...? Been long since I last heard of that. Can it even be eaten or digested at all? Maybe he's talking about fries. Even so, I felt a tingle in my heart when he said that word. I feel like I'm seeing another side of Lance besides this annoying little prick I want to kick everyday.
I think I'm starting to see him as a friend...

sorry to make lance such an annoying person in keith's eyes. Let's be reminded keith is annoyed at everyone in this story except shiro. But at least he's seeing lance in a different light and i think that's great
