Keith woke up in the morning to two notifications. One saying that Lance had followed him, and a message from the so called "Loverbo1lanc3"
The message read, "your instagram game is sub-par. No posts? We need to fix this."
Before running out the door, Keith sent a ":P" face.

After an instagram Lecture from Lance, Keith's day went fairly smoothly. Lotor still gave him some angry looks while in orchestra. Most of Keith's classes were pretty okay. Orchestra was fun, P.E. was easy, Geography and science were okay because of his connections to the teachers. Math was a little weird, but mildly fun. Art though, art was amazing. He just got to paint all he wanted all day with little to no outline on what to do. He looked forward to it all day. He also didn't mind hanging out with Lance without Hunk and Pidge. He loved Hunk and Pidge obviously, but sometimes he just wanted to hang out with Lance alone.

He often repeated to himself, 'It's not because you like him. You just wanna hang out with your best friend sometimes. Hunk and Pidge can be a little too much sometimes.' At this point in his life, Keith was a little but of a master at convincing himself that things were true. He really should have learned his lesson by now.

"Hey Keith?" Lance whispered into Keith's ear.
"Yes?" He said at a normal volume, not bothering to turn around.
"I think... that this would look better in your hair." Lance said deviously.
Before Keith could process what Lance said, he had rainbow glitter all over his hair.
"LANCE!" He dropped his paintbrush on the floor. Once he turned around, Lance had already run halfway across the room.

Keith dramatically dipped his fingers in a cup of moss green paint and ran after Lance. They were running around the room like a couple of madnen. Keith had made a few smudges of paint on Lance's skin. He avoided his clothes in an effort to not be THAT much of a jerk. Keith had even more colors of glitter all over his body. Romelle, Shay, and Allura were getting slightly annoyed by the two.
"LONCE! CUT IT OUT!" Allura yelled at him, after he accidentally glittered her. "Sorry princess, can't contol myself around you."

Something about the interaction made Keith unrealistically angry. She had a boyfriend, Lance had no chance. But what if she broke up with Lotor over Lance? 'Lotor is kind of a piece of shit. It wouldn't be suprising for her to choose Lance over him. Lance is undoubtedly nicer, cuter, tanner, handsomer and more dreamy then Lotor. What if Allura breaks up with him and starts dating Lance? She doesn't deserve him!'

Keith made a sudden lunge towards Lance. He hit him with a striking blow to the chest with green paint. Lance looked beyond angry.
"KEITH! THIS IS A NEW SHIRT!"
"Fuck you. You started this."
"WHAT THE FUCK DUDE?" Lance threw his arms in the air.
"Don't worry. It's tempra." Keith shook the paint off his hand, grabbed his backpack, and left.

Keith walked to his "home" because he didn't feel like waiting for Shiro. He walked straight past his "Mom" and right to his room. The door slammed shut as he tossed his phone down and flopped onto the bed like a ragdoll. His phone buzzed a few times, but he didn't have the energy to check the notification. He still wasn't sure exactly why Lance's encounter with Allura had made him so angry, but it did. Sleep crept up on him, uncharacteristically. Normally, Keith would go to bed at 3 in the morning, but more recently, he has been pretty drained. He dosed off to sleep in minutes.

I'm the morning, Keith checked his phone to see a message from Lance.

Lance: dude, what the fuck was that? Why did you get so mad?

Keith: why did you pour glitter on me?

Lance: hey, you have to admit it looked pretty cute.

Keith felt himself blush. He hadn't actually looked in the mirror.

Keith: still, glitter never fully goes away.

Lance: well you were fine before. You got super mad all the sudden.

Keith: glitter got in my eye okay! Just drop it.

Lance: geez, sorry.

For the rest of the day, they talked as if nothing happened. Keith was still not sure why exactly Lance's actions had elicited such a strong response from him.
