Golden Boy

Chapter 9

(Authors Note: Sorry! I actually did have chapter I just didn't post them. Oops? Sometimes I just don't want to do it even though I know I should. Procrastinating isn't good yet I continue to do it. Plz forgive me as I offer another two chapters!

Also: No picture or song this time. Sorry.)

We reach an intermission and Shiro gets up to stretch.

"Anybody want to come get snacks with me?"

"I'm going to go meet up with my father. I'll meet you back here though."

He nods and looks at me.

"Guess that means you're coming."

"Wonderful."

I get up and follow him out and we start walking to the concession stand.

"You know, he's a good player."

"What?"

"Lance. Alfor's talked to me about him before. Watching him play I can tell he's good. I've never really seen him before but he seems like a good kid."

"Yeah."

He looks down at me and smiles.

"So, care to tell what happend?"

"What happend?"

"Yeah. At the beginning of the game Allura said something about Lance helping with what happend."

I can feel my face heat up as I look at the ground.

"Oh, yeah."

"What happend?"

"He just said he usually helps out with his younger siblings when they're hurt. So he did the same thing."

"What do you mean by the same thing?"

"He just, wrapped it."

"That's all? I feel like that's just normal. What do his siblings have to do with it?"

"He usually kisses the bandage or whatever when he's done."

Shiro stops and I look back at him.

"Oh my god."

"What?"

He bursts into laughter causing people to look at him like he's crazy.

"Shiro it's not funny!"

He's still laughing as he walks over to my side.

"I can't wait to meet him!"

"What!"

"Well I'm obviously going to meet the kid."

"No. You obviously are not."

"Oh come on Keith. I'm eventually going to meet him."

"I'm done with you."

"You can't be done with me! I'm your brother!"

He shouts after me as I walk away. I continue walking until suddenly I'm being pulled to the side.

"What?"

I look down to see a familiar person.

"Pidge?"

She smiles.

"You remember me!"

"What the hell?"

"Sorry for pulling you but Lance told us to find you."

"Us?"

She motions to a guy behind her.

"That's Hunk,"

"Uh, hi?"

He waves and gives me a friendly smile.

"Hey."

I look back down at Pidge.

"So, why did you want to talk to me?"

"We were wondering if you might want to come with us after the game?"

"Why would I do that?"

"After every game we go and get milkshakes."

"I'm uh-"

"I know, I know. They have other stuff there too though."

"Okay..."

"Sorry if we're weirding you out."

"It's fine."

"Well, you should probably go."

"Yeah."

"See you later!"

She turns and walks the other direction, Hunk following behind. I turn around as well and walk back to where the concession stand is. Shiro is in line behind one person and when he sees me he waves.

"Keith, back so soon?"

"Oh shut up."

He smirks before pointing at the menu.

"You want anything?"

"Nah. I'm going somewhere after the game."

He looks over at me in question.

"Some friends invited me out."

"Who are these people?"

"Geez, don't go all dad mode. It's Pidge and her friends."

"Pidge? As in your childhood friend Pidge?"

I shrug.

"Yeah."

"That's great!"

"Oh shut up. I'm going back to our seats."
