Until I See You Again: War Of The White Lion

I'll Be Here To Stay

Keith's POV

(Lets check up on our favorite angry son)

Where is Lance!? I pace back and forth in my room! He said he was getting back soon. He said he just needed a quick word with Shiro. It's been half an hour! I walk up and down the room. Ugh, I'm getting pissed and this is not going to go well for us. What was he going to ask Shiro anyway? It doesn't matter. I'm going to go find him.
I throw the door open and start down the hall, the heels of my shoes echoing hollowly in the halls past the cafeteria, past the meeting rooms and to the other side of the building to Shiro's recovery room. Our rooms are so spread apart! Why did they do that to us?!
My heels hurt I am stomping down on the ground so hard as I go.
Just when I've made it halfway and it feels like forever, I come to a stop and realization hits me. I ask myself:
Why am I so angry? Why am I so upset? Why am I so desperate to have him back at my side?
I look to my right suddenly. There is a door to a recovery room.
It belongs to my mom. I know she's resting and I shouldn't bother her but why if...
This has to do with her?
Leaving me?
How I once lost everything?

I can't loose Lance. Won't loose Lance. I can't push him away from me but how do I not do that? I know that he's promised to stay with me but I always question it in the back of my mind. Is it wrong? Is it right? Am I being clingy? Am I note trying hard enough!
Am I just not....good enough? Where is this going to take me? Where are headed to together? All I see is now and I'm not liking it as much because I'm getting in the way of my own comfort and happiness. I need to talk to someone who knows what it means to be in a relationship.
I hate to say this but I think I need relationship advice from Shiro.

I continue down the halls with a set destination in mind. I walk straight, Well, not really. You know what I mean. I continue down the same hallway until I get to the last room.
I quietly knock on the door.

"Shiro?"

No answer.

"Shiro?"

"He's not awake yet." Says a quiet voice. It's scares me and I jump up and reflexively spin around and put my hands up ready for a fight.

"Okay cool it. I wasn't going to do anything to you." He says although he reflexively tenses up.

It's Adam. I relax.

"Don't scare me like that!" I whisper shout.

"Ok. Sorry, Takashi isn't awake. Did you want to see him about something?"

"Yeah." I mutter dejectedly. Now I'm going to have to go back and find Lance and talk about this with him on my own. Great.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" He ask. Genuinely, he's good at advice. Too good.

"Um, where's Lance?"

"He's just going back down the hall. He was going to go see you."

"Oh come on!" I groan facepalming. I always leave at the worst times.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." I say trying to have him off.

"That's a lie. I see it on your face. So spill."

"It's none of your business." I say without thinking about my words. Things just come out that way.

Adam doesn't speak for a while. He just looks at me, analyzing me. I hate it when he does that. He's too analytical for his own good.
