The next day Keith got a ride from Lance and all was normal for them being a fake couple and all but he had to ignore the fake that Lotor went to lances house last night or at least he thought so. He didn't really know if he went but the way Lance seemed more at ease made Keith feel more stressed out with the situation. He wasn't just to be toyed with like a trophy, not if Lance was with someone else no one else could know of.

They said farewells to class and it stayed on his mind as he promised Lance he'd be going to the McClain residence after school anyways. It made him freak out a little more.

At lunch Keith sat with them but Lance was taking a while to get there. Keith played on his phone but everyone turned seeing Allura yelling at Lance in the halls and Matt, hunk, and Pidge where on there feet seeing she was pointing at him and Lance stayed silent letting her yell at him.

"I'm not wasting time on you anymore Allura, you broke up with me so why are you mad?" Lance waved her off and kept walking when she screamed his name.

"You okay?" Hunk asked gently as Lance sat at the table as he was upset. Keith looked at him worriedly but Lance shrugged.

"She's just being bitchy cause of obvious reasons," Lance motioned to Keith and smiled.

"Speaking of which," Lance handed him a note folded up.

"Part of the deal right?" He smirked whispering in his ear and Keith pursed his lips taking it and put it in his pocket.

"I'll read it later," Keith smiled a little at him and Lance smiled back relieved but reached in his backpack as he pulled out a bin if cookies.

"Me, Leo and rosy got bored last night sooo," he opened them and Matt reached around snatching one.

"Thanks babe," Matt teased an Lance snorted as he handed one to Keith.

"You bake?" Keith asked looking at it.

"I say my niece is my the master but I'm the one that can read the recipe," Lance laughed softly.

"You'll actually meet her tonight, and my nephew Leo," he explained.

"Aw I remember them, they're so sweet," Shay cooed and hunk smiled.

"I'm the one that made sure you didn't give yourself food poisoning or your family," hunk smiled stealing one happily.

Keith wanted to make a comment about how Lotor was probably there with him from what he heard in the bathroom yesterday. He wasn't jealous or anything...

No not jealous, Keith was upset that everyone just showed him off like a trophy wife, he's not someone just to experiment with.

Keith tapped his foot as he's never known staying silent was so painful when it was on the tip of his tongue. He wanted to yell or something or even leave there so he could punch a wall just to get out frustration.

"You okay Keith?" Lance asked gently and he sent Lance a small glare but let out a breath and put on a 'I don't care' face like always.

"Shitty sleep," he fake yawned.

"Sorry if your just trying to get out of coming over but your stuck with my house after school," Lance smirked dropping his arm around Keiths shoulders and he stayed silent letting Lance feed off the simple lie.

Lance and Keith pulled up to a house just out of the down town area as it had a bigger front yard with toys and two bikes that seemed for little kids. Lance smiled opening Keiths door but he let out a scream when two dogs ran up to them barking loudly as it was a pitbull and a Rottweilers.

"Aw my two pretty girls, you gotta go home goldy,"  Lance cooed at the Rottweiler as the large dog slobbered and barked at Lance.

"Go on, go get hunk gold," Lance snapped his fingers and the dog ran off as the pitbull barked at Keith as she sat by lances feet.

"Blue my amor be nice," Lance rubbed her head as her blue eyes stared at Keith.

"Control your fucking dog I swear to god take me home," Keith said with wide eyes as she panted leaning against lances leg as he scratched her ears.

"Blue? Blues a sweet girl, couldn't hurt a fly," Lance laughed offering a hand. "Don't be a wimp,"

Keith sent a glare at blue as she barked back which made Keith jump and Lance laughed harder walking up to the two story house.

"Kids are still at school and everyone's at work so house is just us for a little," Lance said opening the door and blue ran in excitedly.

"Uh who all lives here? Your younger siblings?" Keith asked as he looked around the house as Lance went to the kitchen setting his bag down on the side.

"Nope, me and my sister are  the youngest, my brother Marco and his kids live here too, and my mom, though this weekend Veronica is coming over," Lance smiled brightly and went to the fridge.

"Want a water or something?" He asked looking up.

"Sure," Keith pursed his lips and saw hand turkeys and other doodles on the fridge with letter magnets as there where some conversations on a white bored on the side.

"Your sister? How many siblings do you have?" Keith blinked overwhelmed.

"Um... Four, five including me, Luis, Marco, Veronica and Rachel," Lance grabbed himself a juice box.

"Are they all graduates?" Keith wondered now curious.

"Marco is a police officer, Veronica is a scientist for technology, Luis is still in college for his bachelors, Rachel goes to a boarding school to get a scholarship,"  Lance shrugged.

"Seems like you got the short end of the stick," Keith snorted and Lance put on a fake smile.

"Uh it was either me or Rachel that went to the school, since I have base ball and soccer I have a chance to use those as scholar ships and also since I'm Cuban and not born in America that helps," Lance smiled awkwardly and Keiths jaw dropped.

"Your not from America?" He laughed amazed.

"Born in Cuba, Rachel and I came here when we where two with the family, abuela and Abuelo beat us here first," Lance laughed shrugging it off.

"I'm not making fun of you, I was born in Korea and my dad took me to America when my mom left us," Keith smirked and Lance raised an eye brow. He frowned.

"Not that different if you think about it," he chuckled.

"Mijo I'm home!" They heard a woman's voice and Keith paled as Lance saw his mother walk in. She didn't look full Cuban, she had gentle pale skin with kind blue eyes and wavy dark hair as she was shorter than Lance but they're eyes where the same and same hair color.

"Hey mama," he smiled waving as his mother looked at Keith and raised an eye brow.

"This is Keith, my boyfriend," Lance motioned to him and Keith swore he's never seen someone's eyes light up so fast.

"Oh! Keith? Does that mean your no longer with Allura, you better not be cheating or I swear on my papas grave that's not the way I raised you Lance Charles," his mother pointed at him with a heavy Spanish accent.

"No mama por favor, I broke up with Allura, I know I'll never cheat I promise," Lance calmed her down and she nodded firmly.

"Hi Keith, I'm Ms McClain but please call me Maria, you seem like a sweet boy," Maria grabbed Keiths hands gently and shook them as he was surprised at the different angles he's seen her in five seconds.

"Mama please stop harassing him..." Lance covered his face.

"Hush mijo, he's a pretty male, those are a lot rarer," she waved off her son.

"We'll be in my room mom," Lance touched her  shoulder gently and she smiled nodding at him and Lance practically dragged Keith up the stairs as blue followed them up. Keith let out another scream seeing the large dog behind him when they got to lances room.
